BR1DaEpoRT. CoNS., August 29.-Gree-
dey addressed vast impromptu crowd to-
day. He said: This great gathering I
receive as something which forty wears
OF active and earnest life may possibly
which did not anticipate. Allow me,
then, when I receive its evidence of per-
sonal good will, and in some measure of
confidence, to make a single remark
with reference to one aspect OF tho great
struggle now going on in our country.
Strategy in politics is the tribute which
craft pays to strength. The wolf skin
proving too short, the fox's tail is pressed
into service to piece it with. Laughter
and cheers. You see, at this day, q
great party struggling to avert defeat, by
distracting and breaking up the host
which is opposed to it. You would not
have Federal olice-holders working 80
hard to get up third ticket if they did
not feel sure that between the two tickets
already in the field. the verdict was
against them. Cheers and cries of
Fright. old hoss!"i An effort, then, to
distract the host on our side is q confes-
sion OF despair. AS such receive it.
The confession remains; the despair is
not likely to pass away. [Applause.

liable reports from all quarters of Ala
bama represent the destruction of cotton

ever before. They have eaten leaves
and forms until the fields are as bare as
after frost. The naked condition of the
plant reveals the fact that the mature
frnitage is not 80 great as usual at this
season. Fears of almost universal bark.
ruptoy among the planters are enter
tanned. No one expects the crops to
equal that OF last year.
