FORT WAYNE, Ind. Sept. 2.-The
apathy in the Democratic party of Alien
county is becoming alarming, and the lead
ers are almost discouraged over the failure
to get members of their party interested in
the campaign. This afternoon they brought
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas to open the cam
paign, which he did before small audience,
Judge Colerick introducing him. The City
Hall was not over one-third filled. Mr.
Douglas devoted almost all his entire time
to explaining why he left the Republican
party.
The Allen county Republican committee
to-day accepted the resignation of Chair
man W. E. Clapham and Elmer A. Leonard,
a prominent attorney and vice chairman.
was then elevated to the position of chair
man. He is a hustler and will devote his
entire time to political affairs of this county
until after the election. The prospects of
the Allen county ticket and Doctor Stemen
for Congress, and Robert 3. Hanna, for
state senator, are growing brighter every
day.

FRANKLIN Ind, Sept. A.-The Repub-
lican campaign in Johnson county was
formally opened here to-day with a speech
by Hon. w. ID. Owen. The meeting was
presided over by Will Feathergill, nominee
for representative, and the attendance was
very large Mr.. Owen spoke of the splendid
results of tariff and other Republican ma
tional legislation, of the partys excellent
State record, and gave attention to the num-
erous questions which interest the people
this campaign. He spoke however, at great
est length upon the money question, stating
that. the opening addresses of the Demo-
cratic leaders indicated that they desired to
make that the leading issue again. The Re-
publican party did not object to this and
was confident of winning a greater victory
on it than that of two years ago. He dealt
severely with Chaplain Christensen and other
sensationalists of his kind. In speaking of
the settlement of the questions resulting
from the war, he declared that after so
much suffering and expense none of the con-
quered territory must ever be returned to
Spain. The Republicans of the county are
making an earnest fight and expect to over
come the heavy Democratic majority

While every one who enjoys the acquaint-
ance of Major Russell B. Harrison, pro-
vost marshal, comedies his almost ubiqui-
tous presence and the energetic administra-
ton of his trying position yet there are
but few who are aware of his willingness
to prove the efficacy Of his prescriptions
by accepting a dose of the medicine itself.
This is best evidenced by an occurrence
which happened at the s'Bastile' not long
since While experimenting the admins
tration of his celebrated hydropathic cure
on the numerous victims of the flowing
bottle" and the festive schooner" the
major directed Lieutenant Doane to have
the unruly patient placed in a more IA
vorable position for the proper reception
of the treatment, but while the attend
ants were arranging matters the supposed
comatose bottle-scarred veteran of the
war of 1898 recovered his equilibrium long
enough to seize the nozzle of the hose and
administer to the gallant major a double
dose of the celebrated remedy. Unfortu-
nately the result was detrimental to his
usual immaculate apparel, while the JOY
of the 81 F. DIS" who had just gone
through the same dose, but with less cloth

NAY STAY WITH Volunteers.
Regular Army Officers Need Not Leave
the Service When Retired.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2A-The attorney
general has rendered an opinion that the
retirement of officers of the regular army
who have been promoted in the volunteer
service does not affect their volunteer COM
missions The matter was submitted to him
in the case of Major General Graham, OK the
volunteers, who is a brigadier general in the
regular army, and whose retirement for age
as a regular will occur Sept. 2S. 1t is held
that these officers have separate commits
sions and that the volunteer service COM
missions will hold after an officer is placed
on the retired list as a regular army officer
by operation of the age limit. This decision
will also apply to General Coppinger. who
Will retire for age next month. In muster
ing out volunteer line and staff officers the
decision is that the President can discharge
any volunteer officer who may or may not
be retired and in case he has not reached
the retirement age he will go back to his
original rank in the regular army, or If re-
tired he will go out of service.

out into childish tongue-lashing of the adj
ministration for the alleged camp horrors

J. P. Mcintyre, of the battle ship Oregon

advisers indicating that his defense before
