Correspondence of The Evening Star. Naw Yonx, August 16, 1892. A good deal of anxiety was felt here today in the question as to whether or not Senator Gor- man would put in an appearance at the meet- ing of the campaign committee. Mr. Gorman has not shown the ced interest in this cam- paign that his colleagues had hoped. In fact there are several gentlemen whose active co- operation had been hoped for who are not yet actively at the front. And nobody is able to quite make out what they are going to do. Hill are all objects of marked interest and iety now. There is another géutleman on the Tepublican side whose movements art quite as ference between the two parties lar is that Senator Hill’s followi more powerful and more thorou; than that of ex-Senator Platt. in this particu- in training Tt ix m ex-Senator Platt. A refusal by Senator Hill to take any part in the campaign, expecially if fol- lowed by inactivity on the part of Gorman and Brice, would probably mean more in New York and over the country generally than similar ac- tion by ex-Senator Platt. So while Platt’s course is being watched with anrloty, thut of Hill, Gorman and Brice is even more closely watched. ANA AND THE FORCE BILL. New York is quite interested—that is, the po- litical part of it—over Editor Dana’s letter to the national committee suggesting that they éall on Senator Hill for an article on the force bill for use in the campaign book. There are a ce many democrats who begin to think that Editor Dana is rather overdoing the force bill idea, He wants to make this the the campuign, He sayg that in his opinion it is the only question to unite the democracy and that every other point of controversy should be left in comparative unimportance, where they elong. The fact that the third party People in the south are changing their tactics on thi question since the Alabama election and de- | manding an election law leads many to believe that the making of this question the chief issue would widen the lines between the democratic and the third party people in the southern states. Whether the combined efforts of Mr. Dena on the one hand aud the members of the national committee on the other will get Sena- vor Hill into the traces on this question is un- certain. It is now alm months since the Chicago convention and all the efforts that have been made to get a word out of him on the sub- ject have been unavailing, as have also the ef- forts to bring him into personal contact with the people who are managing the campaign, INTEREST IN PROMINENT REPUBLICANS. An equal interest is felt in the courso of sev- | republicans who have been here within the Inst day or two state with great positiveness | that Senators Quay and Cameron will at the | proper time take hold and help in the cam- ign. Just how much is meant by that no- ody can tell. It is probable, however, that they will do so at least to the extent of giving ‘advice and making a few speeches. Indeed, there is reason to believe that the republicans are going to have when the campnign gets a little further under way the quict co-operation of most of those whose skill cosa four years ago. Gen. Clarkson is hard at work here now. There is no man more regu- larly at his post at the committee headquar- ters or more determined, apparently, to bring | success. He is in touch with Quay, and not only with Quay, but g number of others who were valuable workers in the last campaign, but have not yet come to the front in this. And there is reason to believe that his intiu- ence will obtain the quiet advice and co-opera- tion of men who with him attained success four years ago. Tulius | | Caesar Burrows and Whitclaw Reid are leaving for Springfield, Ill., where they are to speak on the 18th. Mr. Burrows goes by way of some New England resort to take his family home and then will hustle down to Springtield to meet Reid. A good deul of in- terest is felt in this Illinois opening of the campaign, Unusual as it is there is no dis- guising the fact that the republicans feel_con- siderable anxiety about the state of Illinois. Hence the fact that the vice presidential can- didate is to open the eampaign at the tomb of Lincoln and that the President is to be urged to make tho most of his visit to Chicago on the opening of the world’s fair, SCENES AT MEADQUARTERS.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CuaRLeston, Aug. 16, 1892, While it is true that the third party has no organized existence in this state, those who are accustomed to look below the surface of things have no hesitation in predicting its active ap- pearance after the August primaries, All the principles involved in the platform of the party are covered by the platform adopted by the so- called democratic state convention. It is esti- mated that fully {0 per cent of the dominant | clement in politics in this state is, made up of | ultra alliance men, the balance being chronic office seckers who havo not been successful in the other parties, notably the greenback and Melane parties. While this element is kept in line at present there is an extreme possibility of its breaking out of the traces after the 30th of | Augast. ‘THE AGRICULTURAL ELEMENT. There can be no doubt that the democratic Party is losing ite hold on the agricultural ele- ment in the etate.* The dieaffeetion began in the upper part of tho state as far back as 1884, and has been growing ever since. But for the gapture of the democratic machinery, by the Tillmanites in 1990 it would probably have broken out before now.

THE PEOPLE'S FARTY IN Kaysas. The Absorption of the Farmer's Alliance and Fusion With the Democrats. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Torexa, Kays., Aug. 15, 1892. Four years ago, when Kansas gave the repub- lican ticket 2,000 majority, it was declared that | henceforth there would be no trouble in carry- ing the state, and that the usual “whoop-'er- up" campaign would win the usual victory. It did not require four years to make Kansas a de- batable state. Two years ago the republicans barely saved their state ticket, but lost the legis- lature and all but two members of Congress. ‘This year the contest is attracting national | attention. The people's party and the democ- | racy are combined with one state and electoral” ticket and are supporting fusion candidates for | Congress except in Funston’s and Broderick’s districts. It is believed that in these districts the people's party candidates will be pulled off and the democratic candidates indorsed. ‘THE REPUBLICAN AND PEOPLE'S PARTIES’ PLANS OF CAMPAIOX. For the first time the Indiana plan of cam- paign has been adopted by the republicans. They aro not taking anything for granted, but are going to work in every county to perfect a thorough organization, and are polling every voting precinct in the state. These polls will be continued twice each month until election, eo that they will know exactly what to de- pend on. The people's party state central committee is equally active in pushing its organization. The Farmers’ Alliances over the state have been largely abandoned, and the committee is going ubont its work like the old parties. The alliance a8an organization will not figure much in the pending campaign. alth it was worked to advantage two yearsago. Thousands of sab- nces have not held regular weekly meetings for the past year. The membership hasdwindled from over 100.000 to less than 25,000, and en ot these are = arrears = dues; ined oY e people's party in getting down to - fathonsd political ‘metal sok ill aut te pend on the alliance as the mainspring of the party. | | THE STRAIGHT DEMOCEATS. ‘There are about 50,000straight democrats in Kansas, Of course the populists expect this vote, but they won't get all of it. They will get about $0,000 for their stato ticket and 40,000 for the Weaver electoral ticket, the others refusing to vote. Fully 20.000 demo- crats will vote the republican state ticket and | several thousands who are disgusted with the action of the leaders in fusing with the alliance will vote for the republican electoral ticket also, but this number will be limited. ‘The populistaclaim that they have gained over two years ago. ‘They have in the towns and cities, but they have actually lost votes in the country, so that there is probably very little difference on this score. Republicans claim gains from the people's party from nearly | every county in the state, but thése gains are | not large enough to warrant any assurance of victory now.

McKim and Hospital Stewards Williams and Tabor, with their medicine chest, are look- ing after the “ills that human flesh is heir to.” While there has been nothing serious demand- ing their services, the length of their prescrip- tion list shows that their presence here has not been in vain, Lieut. Dunn, as guard instructor, is doing his duty in an efficient and soldeirly manner,as the improvement in guard mount and the military bearing of the sentinels testify. This mornii there was only one slight error made in guar mount, and that was noticeable only by experts. It did not mar the beauty of the scene. Lieut. Dunn has kept an efficiency record of every man on guard. So well have they performed their duties that only few have fallen below 85 per cent, and the average is somewhat above t. There havé beena comparatively few men in the guard house, and those few for minor and trivial offenses, This speaks well for the order of the camp and the deportment of the boys. A letter from Mayor Schwartz, who, by the way, isacaptain on Gen. Ordway's staff, was read last night at dress de. He compli- mented Maj.

Wasurxorox Gnove, Aug. 17, 1892, ‘With the mereury climbing up to ninety and the dust no: a whit less aggressive than on Sun- day, missionary day was one full of interest and spiritual uplifting, if not one of bodily comfort.

The morning train brought many day visitors to the camp, among whom Dr. Gibson was a notable figure, as his flock rallied about him with words of hearty weloome.

Rice, who spoke comprehensively of “Revelation and Power of Uaseen Forces.” Mrs. E. B. Stevens, a lovable woman, who was |in camp in the interests of the W. F.

Stevens was next introduced, and her gentle, persuasive eloquence opened’ the hearts and purees of the people. The call by Bishop Taylor for a generous contribution to the Chinese mission fand was frecly responded to and @70 was collected. The generosity of the people was stirred by the earnest appeals made.
