ELMoRE SURPRISES THEM.
Resigns From the Office of Solicitor
 Reasons Not Given.

Montgomery, September 12-(special.)- The resignation of Solisitor B. F. El- more of the First district, was as much of surprise as the removal of District Attorney Vaughan. The first known of 1t here was the appearance Of J. H. Barefield and w. c. McCorvey of Monroe as applicants for the vacancy It seems that Fillmore, on deciding to resign, noti- fled all the probable applicants at the same time of what was coming. His official resigation has not been received at the governors office, but his private letters to the gentlemen above mention ed say that it will take effect October 1.
 It is said here that Elmore will him self go back to his Demopolis law part ner, Harrison, for the vancancy. It is also said that State Senator w. D. Dunn will be an applicant. The place pays S25O0 and the fortunate nan will serve till 1904. The place will then be filled by election by the people.
 Nothing is known here as to MT. El- more's reasons for resigning, except the opinion of his relatives that he Is tired of being absent from his home, which is a most delightful one. There is talk among them that he has been expressing him self as desiring to get out of politics, de- vote himself to his CIVIL practice, ana live comfortably. He is pretty well fixed so far as worldly goods are concerned, and in shape to follow his inclinations.
 After the manner of politicians, how ever, this class are guessing what better thing he has in view. They recall that he was second in command at the Jelks headquarters during the recent campaign, and they suspect that he has a call on better thing than solicitor His resigna- ton is otherwise beyond their conception of the motives of human conduct.

REPUBLICANS AT SEA.
Members of Party In Montgomery
 Have No Life Left.

Montgomery, September 12.-(Special.)- The republicans here, have hardly enough life left in them to crack joke at Dis trict Attorney Vaughan's discontinue. They frankly say they do not know what 1t means, but scarcely conceal their belief that politics are at the bottom of 1t.
 Vaughan has been active of late in fur thering the movement, to build up a white party, and was cooperating heart- fly in the effort to insure that next weeks convention should be without negro del- egate.
 This was supposed to have the Presi- dents assent and even indorsement. It has now occurred to some that possibly Mr. Roosevelt does not desire to run off the negro vote in doubtful states up north, and has been notified that the thing down here is going too far. Should that be the case, there are a good many republican office holders hereabout who don't know where the lightning may hit next. Leading negroes here express the hope that the President will fill Vaughan's place with some high-class democrat like Judge Jones,
