Governor McCori has issued e proc. lsnst,on Of general intereI shat is l uaususl in its way as well. It refers to the cSll of G.e President Tor volun- teers and the part that ArlzoEa has played in responding to it.
 Ia preamble to the pr, clamstiou proper, the govSrnsr recites tho fact that the President issned his call for troops and that the governors of other states and territories made prcclsms- ,irn. calling upon the people to fill the assigned quotas. This was found unnecessary ia Arizona for the reason the quota is more thsn filled and the governor las besa compelled to de cline more than 1000 patriotic offers 10: enlistment.
 Arizona, he adds, ie the Grst s;ata or territory to have its fu quota and l5 ger cent more sworn into the Unit 1 cd States service. In viev of these facts the proclamation is i-su' d. The proclamation itself recites the causes leading up ts the present war with Snain. There will ba na Bull Runs.' e.ys :h. proclamation.

Rush County Campaign.

CARTHAGE, Ind, Sept. Brush county
Republicans to-day opened the campaign
with a meeting that was an agreeable sur
prise TO the local committee, which had not
expected much of a turnout on account OF
the excessive heat and the fact that the
Rush county fair had been in progress all
week and everybody was tired. The meet
ing was marked by much enthusiasm and
the size of the crowd indicated that neither
hot weather nor anything else car keep
down Republican spirits this year. Meet
ings were held during the afternoon and
night in the grove near this place, j. Frank
Hanley, candidate for United States senator,
being the orator of the afternoon meeting,
and James Z. Watson, candidate for Con-
chairman of the Republican State central
committee, presided at the afternoon meet
Ing, while James Bingham, of Muncie, Miles
K Moffett, district chairman, and Lee
Nixon, of Indianapolis, were among those
present.
The speakers and chairman were enter
tanned by Edward N. Hill, the Republican
candidate for state representative, at the
home of his brother and sister, Mr.. and MIS-
Walter B. Hill. The Hill family numbers
among its members some of the most lnnu-
entail business men of this county, and the
candidate is developing a good deal or
strength In his canvas.
The stand for the speakers was gally Dec
Grated With bunting and flags. Music Tor
the meetings was furnished by the Ladies
Band, of Cincinnati, and the Arlington
Band While there was no attempt at a
great rally, the meeting was a success, at
night especially, hundreds of people driving
into town to attend. The speech of j. Frank
Hanley was received with much favor. Mr..
Hanley discussed the war and the question
of territorial expansion, and his views were
received with applause. Miles *. Mofett
presided at the night meeting and intro
duced Mr.. Watson, who made a strong i'm
preston. After the meeting was over the
committee expressed complete satisfaction
with the results, which exceeded anything
that had been hoped for.

Not one of the Kickers.

WINCHESTER, Ind, Sept. 3.-Sergeant
Ulysses G.. Daily, of Company f, One-hun-
acknowledgement Indiana Volunteers, is
at home on a ten days furlough, and while
here will file his bond and qualify as city
marshal, to which office he was elected be-
fore entering the army. He speaks IN the
highest terms of the treatment accorded the
men at Chickamauga Park by their su-
periOr officers and makes the broad aSSer-
ton that no soldier in the camp can charge
his sickness to the negligence, Indifference
or inattention of his superior officers. The
general hospitals he claims were most ad-
mirably equipped and supplied with trained
nurses, who gave the sick every attention.
The division hospitals, he says, were not so
we'll managed, largely because of the negll-
gence of the stewards, who were detailed
from the various regiments to serve there.
The surgeons were, he claims very much
overworked, Dr. Paul Barcus, of the One
hundred-and-f fty-eighth, particularly Con,
sidering the number of men at the park and
the length Of time they were kept there, he
thinks the percentage of sickness and deaths
was low The food supply furnished by
Uncle Sam was always ample in quantity
Of the best quality and of considerable va
riety. The dysentery so much spoken of
was due largely, he thinks, to the indiScre-
ton of the men themselves, who after pay
day filled up pies and other indigestible
food while the typhoid fever was due not
so much to an inadequate water supply as
to the fact that the water had TO be hauled
from the springs and stood in barrels until
consumed. This difficulty is entirely over
come at Knoxville where two fine springs
near the camp furnish an ineXhauStlble
supply of pure water.
