VOICES OF OPPOSITION AMONG THE DrMooR.

VOICES OF OPPOSITION AMONG THE DEMOCRACY
The Terre Haute, (Ind.) Journal, Democrat
ic paper, expresses the firm belief that IL the
Greeley ticket is endorsed at Baltimore. tlIous-
auds Of Indiana Democrats will refuse to sup
port II. II says the leaders may huot at this sug-
gestion. but they will be filled with bitter humil.
alton after the Fall elections.
The Memphis APpeGl frankly says ii supports
Greeley and Brown because their election would
ultimately restore Democrats to power, involving
as il will the inevitable accompaniment OF the
election Of Democratic majority in the lower
HOuTe Of Congress. " Congress being the real
seat Of Government p"
Greeley wasn't acceptable to the Oregon Dem
Gratis. The Portland OreJOnian says " Num-
bers Of men who had heretofore been Democrats
refused to support tie pie bald ticket, and voted
the straight Republican ticket from top tn bot
tom. Among those who did this were many OF
high standing and respectabillty." -
1t ia said that William s. Groesbeck, Of Ohio,
has written to Democratic friends who proffered
their services in his behalf at Baltimore d" APP
peaIances indicate that Greeley will carry the
Convention by at least two-thrds vote. II
there is any chance to defeat him count on me
il not would rather be overlooked"
Alexander H. Stephens publishes selections
from ia Democratic paperH, which oppose Gree
ley, and says 1t will be seen that the desire
to preserve the integrity Of the party il confined
to no section. but permeates the whole Union,
aud that the persistent boasts Of the friends Of
Greeley that but few Democratic papers oppose
his election, are without foundation"
Speaking Of New York State, the Albany Jour
nal, Of Saturday evening, says There a
very few localities in which. as We gather, the
Greeley movement has made some perceptible
progress, but they can be counted on the fingers
Of one hand. As to most of the counties, Gree
ley's nomination has alienated far more Demo-
crats than it has attracted Republicans" This
accords with our own information.-Ne, York

Ihe Cotton Crop of Is,a.

The report of the Department of Agriculture
on the cotton crop of this year is encouraging.
The average increase of the area in acres plant
cd throughout the cotton States over that OF
last year amounts to about thirteen per cent
The condition Of the plant is about as favorable
as at the corresponding period last year. II,
therefore, nothing unusual occurs to damage
the crop between this time aud the time OF
gathering the yield will be probably thirteen pei
cent greater than last year This increase il
not likely to affect the market price much, fol
the increased demand keeps fully up to the aug
mented supply. When the South RECEIVERS en-
tirely from the war, its labor becomes well or
ganized again, and flow of immigration sets il
there we shall have greater cotton product
and cheaper cotton.

The most important event is the published

eight-hour rule, but to close up their respective

Until such times as the strikers accept their
terms. This determination is supplemented
with the not less important declaration that
"they will not hereafter retain in their employ
ment any workman guilty Of any act looking to
the arbitrary establishment OF relations between
the employer and employed"
This action, il adhered to, will be likely to
bring matters to crisis. II other capitalists
follow the example OF these employers, the
combination will probably be too powerful for
the Eight-hours League to resist for any great
length of time. To-day the feeling between the

the probable nomination Of Mr.. Greeley at Bal.

sustain the action of the convention. It was
generally believed that the Pdtriet would hold
out, and, with tAe New York World, help set up
