JIM AT OPHIR FARM.
Blaine Is the Guest of His Old
DetraCtOr

AsAoAhC 1S Gllo NueSC OIL HIS Olu
Detractor.
New YORK, Oct. 12.-James G. Blaine
arrived in New York this afternoon
from Bar Harbor and took the train i'm
mediately for Ophir farm. Whitelaw
Reid, whose guest he is, met him at the
station and accompanied him to the
country. 1t is understood he makes a
visit of several days at least, and that
during his stay he is likely to maet,
either at Ophlr farm or in New York, a
number of the leading Republicans, and
give what aid he can in the canvass.
Mr.. Blaine was seen by reporter at
Ophir Farm. He was looking remark
ably we'll, though it was evident he had
been considerably taxed by his journey
from Bar Harbor, which he left at 4:30
Tuesday afternoon. His figure was
erect, his eyes bright and the
color OF his face not SO marked
as ON the occasion of his last
visit to New York. His voice was
strong and his handshake firm, muscu-
lar and vigorous. Mr.. Blaine expressed
disin clination to being interviewed,
saving, with pleasant smile:
II am not worth being interviewed.
| have been ill all summer. and am
hardly III a position to know anything
of interest in the situation, much the
less to talk about it'' --'-
1t was suggested to Mr.. Blaine that
he might be requested to make one or
more speeches OH the issues and ON be-
half of the candidates.
II have really been to i'll to make a
speech or take an active part in the
campaign" he SAID. MY health has
improved somewhat; but as to my being
asked by the national committee to
speak, that is a matter which have
not considered"
When Mr.. Blaine started for New
York from Bar Harbor Tuesday, Mrs.
Blaine and the rest of his family
went to Augusta. They are expected
to join him as guest of Mr.. Reid at
Ophir Farm in a few days, and will go
from White Plains Washington, where
the family expect to spend the winter.
Their stay at Ophir Farm is indefinite.
1t has been limited recently that Mr..
Blaine will get out and speak for the
ticket. and it is believed lie will attend
monster meeting to be held in this
city.

Agency.

Stitute, Kansas, Asked to
Contribute.

an Active War on Re-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The follow
ing. statement was furnished to the
press today:
"The civil service commission has
turned to the attorney general for his
action report by Commissioner Roose-
velt designating the efforts by the chair
man of the South Dakota Republican
campaign committee to levy assessments
for political work on the employees of
the Indian bureau at Pine Ridge and
other agencies. The report charges
upon the Republican committee of the
Second congressional district of Kansas
similar attempt upon the teachers and
others employed at Haskell institute in
that state. The original documents
necessary TO make the evidence COM
plete accompany the report, and have
gone with it to the department of JUS
tice.
Another report, with the papers ac-
companylng submitted simultaneously
10 the attorney general and to the post
master general, shows that at the post
office in st. Joseph, Mo-, political as
isessments were levied by the late post
master, Charles F. Earnest, with the
tconnlvance and assistance of members
of his staff who had acted under his
orders. The postmaster has died since
the assessments begun TO be levied, and
the case may present some difficulties
on that account"
The papers were sent by the depart
ment of justice, after the usual custom,
to the United States attorneys of the
districts in which the alleged offenses
We're committed, with instructions to
investigate, and if the reports are well
founded to institute prosecutions of the
guilty persons.

HAVOC IN DENVER.
Snow, Rain, Sleet and Wind De-
vastate COlOrado's Capt.
tai City.
Many Horses Killed by Falling
Electric Light and Troll
ley Wires.

DENVER, Col, Oct. IA snow, rain
and sleet storm which set in last night
added heavy wind to its variety today
and all day loEg an unprecedented
storm prevailed. From what meager
reports that can be obtained from points
in the state it is shown that the storm
is general in Colorado, and alse in parts
of Utah. All communication by tele-
graph to towns in Colorado have been
entirely interrupted the entire day..
and. as the storm still continues, the
prospects of restoring the wires to-
night are very poor.
In Denver signs were blown down,
corniceS torn off and hundreds of trees
were either uproOted or split by the
wind. Several persons were hit by fly
ing objects, but, so far as has been
learned, no fatalities have occurred.
Probably the greatest damage was done
by falling electric light and street car
trolley wires, for at least dozen horses
were killed by being struck by these
live wires. AS the animals were being
driven at the time of their being
shocked to death, it will be seen that
their drivers were in imminent danger
of meeting the same fate. As conse-
quence of the breaking of these wires.
the electric cars on many of the lines
are at standstlll, and people living in
the suburbs are forced TO get home as
best they may. Incoming trains have
not suffered much thus far, there being
but small delays.
PUEBLO, COL, Oct. I2.-The very dry
and perfectly clear weather which has
prevailed for exactly two months was
broken last night by tremendous snow
storm throughout the entire Rocky
mountain system, accompanied by a
high gale and heavy raius out on the
plains, together with falling tempera-
ture. Snow plows are in use On the
mountain divisions Of the railroads. All
Western Union wires are down in four
directions.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 12.-The Union
Veteran Legion encampment, which
begun in this city today, was chiefly
notable for rows. The first arose over
the report Of the credentials committee
rejecting the names of Col. Fitch and
Lieut.. Col. Jones. delegates from Camp
60, Washington, D. c. Corporal Tan
ner championed their cause in a hot
speech, in which he exorcoriated Ma
tional Commander Palmer as being a
party to a conspiracy to exclude these
men. After the meeting Tanner and
Palmer met in corridor of the Denni-
son house. A quarrel ensued. the lie
was passed and blows were only pre-
vented by the Intervention of friends.
Later in the session resolution OF
sorrow for the condition of Mrs. Har-
rison was passed by rising vote. One
man voted against it. Corporal Tanner
asked who he was. The delegate arose
again and said he was the man, and was
proud of it. Tanner then made strong
speech of reproach, causing such ex-
citement that the delegate was picked
up bodily and fired from the hall. At
the camp fire tonight Tanner made
straight Republican speech, telling the
veterans the only source they could pos
slbly hope for more pensions from was
the Republican party.

SINKING SLOWLY.
Mrs. Harrison Has Been Growing O
Gradually Weaker for Sew
eral Days Past.
The Presidents Sad Face Betrays
More Than 1t Is Possible for
His Lips to Utter.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.-Aside from
the fact that Mrs. Harrison is trlhe
weaker this evening, there is no ma
terial change to note in her condition.
AS before stated in these dispatches.
Mrs. Harrison has been growing grad
ually weaker for several days past,
owing to the progress of the disease,
and her left lung is now involved.
Of course, in the progress OF this dis
ease, the patient is-better one day and
worse the next. The condition of the
patient for the last few days has caused
great anxiety for the president and his
family. So long as Mrs. Harrison can
take nourishment her declining strength
can be revived. From one hour to an
other there is practically little
change manifested. She is ever and
always the same patient sufferer,
trying as far as she can to brighten the
sadness of the president and her chill
dren by appearing to feel better. Her
cough has stopped since the weakness
OF the past two days has set in, and she
is still taking considerable nourlsh-
ment.
The steady though slight depletion of
strength each day is now the most seri-
Gus feature of the case, and the one
which exciteS the most concern.
President Harrison is looking care
worn. He has grown so nervous, owing
to the terrible strain of the last few
months, that his family almost compel
him to go out every Gay for walk or a
drive. His sad face betrays more than
it is possible for his lips to utter. Yes
terday afternoon he drove out to the
soldiers home and brought back his
grandchildren, who were spending the
day there. He was back again before
$50. Mrs. Mckee was out for drive
today, and Russell Harrison and his
wife are in New York. Late tonight
DR.. Gardiner said that Mrs. Harrison
had passed quiet day, and that there
were no indications of new complica-
tiOns.

LIVELY IN ALABAMA.
Many Candidates Whooping
Things UD

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 12.-The at
tempt to arrange fusion of the third
party and Republican hosts of Alabama
has, so far as can be seen, resulted
in nothing tangible but a split in
the ranks of the third party,
or Kolbites, and an apparently irrecon-
cilable division of the Republicans, and
the campaign is going on. The flu
slonist candidates for congress are on
the stump. The straight Republican
nominees are talking to the people. The
Democratic leaders are hard at work.
III some districts the negroes have
out their own congressional nominees
and are whooping things up. and in
other districts the Peoples party has
split off from the fusionists, and is rum
ming its own independent candidates.
The Democratic leaders are confident.
They are quite sure now that Cleveland
will sweep the state. and that the Dem
ocrats will carry every congressional
district.

FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Oct. 12.-The
court house rarely holds larger or bet
ter pleased audience than that which
greeted ID. W. Lawler, Judge McCatf-
erty and w. &. Kelso tonight. Delega-
tons came in from all outlying towns of
the county, among them many Repub-
llcans and PoDulists, who came to note
flaws in the arguments, and went away
feeling that they had listened to flaw
less addresses. That of Lawler partic-
ularly won him friends and earned him
votes. His statement that he confidently
hoped ard expected to be the next gov
ernoI of Minnesota on the ground that
neither OF the other parties could be
trusted with the Office, stirred up a
tumult of applause. While this is re-
garded as Nelson stronghold. the en-
thusiasm manifested tonight shows not
only that the Democratic party is united
and earnest, but that it has received
many accessiOns to itsranks from among
thinking Republicans. This meeting is
the only one of the campaign to date in
which any enthusiasm or heartinesS has
been shown.

The Republican Stronghold Alive

The First ward, heretofore the strong

doing itself proud in its enthusiasm for
the cause of Democracy this year.
Turgeon'S hall is large and commodi-
Gus, but last night it was filled to the
doors, and the voters were forced
to stand crowded right up to the speak

tlsed to speak has more than q local

vertently omitted mention of A. n. Mel

TO task for the wholly unintentional
omission showed that no man on the
Democratic ticket will be overlooked on
election day.
Before last nights meeting a torch
light procession of the First ward clubs
was held, and good sign was that the
marchers comprised some of the most
solid men of the ward. When such a
man as AXel Lange will not only work
10 arrange meetings, but will get out
and beat drum in procession, the
indications for victory are certainly
auspicious.

master at Withe, Mich,, and the re-
quest to that postmaster to furnish

commission declared, to be offensive to
the postal regulations.
Today MIR. Wanamaker advised the
commission that the department was
powerless to prohibit persons from max
ing such requests to postmasters, al.
though it forbids by official order all
postinasters and other postal officers to
furnish lists of names and addresses
and private information gained by them

Total. .S1J5t Total. S215
Figuring up these totals of per diem
shows an aggregate of 800. 200 paid out
in salaries by the state for one branch
of the legislative assembly last year.
Thirty-one senators required forty-nine
clerks to wait upon them at an expense
to the state of $4,000.
TO appreciate the extravaganza of
these expenditures for salaries at the
last session comparison is made with
the expenditures of the same body at
The last session of the territorial senate,
The expenditures of the territorial
senate for clerk hire was s., 300, or just
one-tbird that of the last session. The
aggregate expenses for salaries of the
last territorial senate was S1O,O60, or
less than one-half that of the last senate.
These figures are suggestive, as the
territory was twice as large as the pres
ent state, and yet had half the expendi-
lures for Solons. The people will not
always submit to Republican misrule
and extravaganza,

The members OF the committee said
that the nomination was not an indorse-
ment of the Republican action. He was
nominated by the Democrats in 1884 for
associate justice. The present combi-
nation, they say, might be called nom
ination, for the meeting was a short one.
The committeeman said that Justice
Andrews record is unimpeachable The
electors were nominated to fill vacan-
cies. This was because some of the
electors are bank directors and are dis
qualified. Others had resigned.
