Of Governor
While this is so, warmly sympathize
in what you propose TO accomplish, and
hone the time is near when the present
Democrats and former Democrats, and all
dissatisfied Republicans shall be cordially
united under a single organization.
| don't think there is anything sacred in
mere party organizations. They are only
machinery which should be repaired when
out Of order, and renewed when too much
worn. A constitution of government is a
more sacred organization than that of a pO-
Htical party; yet we don't hesitate TO pull
down a constitution in order 10 put up a
new one. We have a convention at Col
umbus now engaged in that work.

against his bat If he did not intend to Tor the
Office again. would like to try to get it. He told
me to go ahead and talk it up among the people
as was travelling on business that he would
not be a candidate AGAIN, and have done so. and
make this explanation that the people may
know that was and am sincere In all have said
and done; and now as 1t is but short time till
the primary election, have so much to do that
cannot see many voters az desire, therefore,
take this opportunity to re spectfully ask them
TO give me their support and should be elected

and try to discharge the duties of the Office with
credit to myself and honor to the people. Should
any of my competitors be chosen will cheer

thus in at least three places, he pro-

in general business the degree of animation

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
CATTLE.-The receipts since Saturday
were about $500 head. The weather was
intensely hot, and with unfavorable advices
from the east, shippers only operated to a
moderate extent. prices of all descriptions,
except choice, being shade lower. Tex

osKALoosA PRODUCE MARKET
THE MARKETS.

CHICAGO, July Is.
Business opened in rather quiet man
ner in financial circles on yesterday. AS
the exceedingly hot weather experienced
interfered somewhat with trade in several
branches of commerce, the banks were not
patronized as freely as usual, and in the
money market the movement was compara-
lively limited. The demand for loans and
other favors was perhaps as large as is
usually witnessed at this season, but in the
line of general business, the transactions
were restricted, and, as rule, the situation
was hardly as satisfactory rs on the closing
days of last week. Still, there was no
change of any consequence in the actual
condition of affairs. and on all sides reas-
onably healthy feeling was reported. AS
the banks are now carrying good line of
discounts, and are unquestionably in bet
ter shape than customary at this period of
the year, no uneasiness is manifested over
the present or prospective state of the
money market. Money continues In good
