He- publican headquarter * have been kept open nt theLlndell , anil there base been numer ous ralleni , but active campaign work was not cxper'ed to begin until after Septrra- ber 1. The Oatftn faction of the populist party has headquarters at the Lincoln , but no great stir has been made In that quar ter. Kdmlstcn , who U looking after the Allen Interests , Is holding forth at the state house oil rooms , and Is doing his best to draw all the populists from over the state to his headquarters , or nt least to prevent them from v lilting Qaffln , the object of this mote being to discourage Qaflln and force him to resign It was the Intention of 1M- mUton to op"n headquarters down town , but the ofllclals nt the elate house , who arp In the peculiar turn of atfalrs left without a campaign manager , persuaded the chief oil Inspector to remain nt the state building for ihe present. In order that they might also meet the vl'ltmg patriots The polit ical atmosphere around 1he state ofllccs re mains In a clouded condition and thoae In terested all wear n won led Icok. About the only news that comes In Is thai of the loss ofotcs In different localities Hcnton Marct Is engaged In some political Intrigues which are causing uneasiness for both of the populist factions. They do not pretend to know Just what he Is doing , o\- crpt thai It must be coiie plan lo advance his own pollllcal or pecuniary Interests There is much talk among the popocrats tiow that Marct Is responsible for many of Holcomb s mistakes. 'Ihcy say thai "a big man would never on his own motion have done so many of the tricky nnd two-faced things that have been noticed nbout the excruto ! office , and It must be Ihe woik of slippery lltllc Maret" This complaint Is so general that the word has gone around that the governor's prhntc secretary Is r. man to be avoided by popocrats who want things for themsehes.
