THE COTTON MAKET yesterday Mon
day. was again strong and animated.
The kilograms were favorable; New
York showed little weakness at Loon,
but recovered and futures closed firm;
New Orleans made another advance;
Liverpool was active and firmer, with
sales Of 20 600 bales. In our market
the demand was very active; some of
the buyers said there was more energy
after cotton than cotton TO De inquired
after. The reason is that cotton holders
are not pushing cotton into market with
any esgerness, and samples on the tables
are not as numerous as buyers would
like to gee. Our stock is working down
in very gratifying manner, the figures
being 10 400 bales sgsinst %. 800 bales
the same cay in July. Low grade cot
tons of good staple continue TO be prin.
cipally called for and taken as fast as
they are plecsd on the tables. The New
York Bulletin of Friday reported: 1.-THE
snap appeared to be out Of the market
for the day, and the tone was generally
easier. The accounts from abroad have
been discouragiDg to shippers, though at
the hest there was very lutte inclination
TO negotiate on foreign account. The short
interest, appears to be either pretty well
reduced. or to have reached those ope-
rators who are not particularly alarmed
and the absence of support let the mar
ket off ab5ut 16c. In addition to this
also, Liverpool came weaker, and the
worm stories are lees alarming. There
ports from the various cotton exchanges
on the crop appear to contain features
satisfactory to both bulls and bears
with the latter showing rathsr the best
record as comp ared with the correspond
ing period last year, and this a'so has a
softening tendency" Quotations at the
Memphis cotton exchange were as fol-
lows:

THK export of American cotton good
to foreign countries is of such charac
ter as to give considerable impetus to this
branch of home industry. Up to the
LIST of June, 1876, the amount OF cotton
fabrics sent abroad this year is considera-
bly, above that shipped during the same
period in 1875. From New York and
Boston the increase was double while
from other ports the advance was so
marked as to arrest the attention of
business and commercial men. This fact,
taken in connection with constantly
augmenting demand for American grain
and breadstuffs abroad, cannot fail to
have stimulating effect upon the busi-
ness and prosperity of the nation. The
grain crop Of 1876 promises well, and
the prospect for an increased yield of
cotton is good at this time. With cotton
goods and grain to sell and customers
that need them, the future will be more
healthy in all its aspects than the past
and the turning point will be approx
mated, If not reached.

Our state Platform.

From the Spirit Of Jefferson.
We publish to day, on our first page
our State platform. Its strength and
pertinency as a declaration of Demo
cratic principles, become more apparent
since the Radical manifesto has been
promulgated from Cincinnati. By a
comparison, the contrast stands out in
bold relief. First, the Radical party un.
dertakes by national power and
interference, to enforce all "the
truths of the Declaration Of lndepe''-
dence,' both in State and Federal
governments; while we emphatically
maintain the right of each State to gov
ern itself, "lesving to each OF them the
solution of the questions and difficulties
arising therein, subject only to the Con-
stitution of the United States" The
Radicals demand further enforcement
ya,os, and intimate that Congress and the
executive are TO override the Supreme
Court in its expositions of the Constitu-
ton; while our platform insists upon the
'independence of the Supreme Court;
preserving against intimidation, or
undue influence on the part of
coordinate departments OF the
general government" and mo oc
cupation of State territory by Federal
forces, except in aid of the civil author
ity, upon demand OF the Governor, as in
the Constitution prescribed" Not a
word is TO be found in the Radical mani
festo about Amnesty; while we announce
Universal, unconditional Amnesty" as
one of the cardinal principles of our
party. Again,the Radicals recommend an
amendment to the Constitution "forbid-
ding the application Of any public funds
or property by the States for the benefit OF
any schools or institutions under sectar-
ian CONTROL" while the true and all I'M
portant Democratic doctrine on this sub.
jecl is embodied in the demand by lis
that there shall be mo interference by
the general government with education
or religion in the States upon any pre-
text whatever, however plausible"
Finally, it will be found, on analysis of
the Radical declaration OF principles.
that the only appeals TO the Constitution
to be found therein, are made in behalf
of an extension and consolidation Of
power in the hands of the general gov
eminent; while our State platform makes
that sacred instrument the only charter
by which the people are to be protected
against all encroschments and usurpa-
pations on the part OF their public serv.
ants ana agencies.
We shall have more TO say in condem.
demnstion Of the Radical proclamation
hereafter; for the present, We can only
invite's careful study Of our State plat
form, which seems to us, up to this point,
in the language of Hon. John j. Davis,
before the Convention, "to embody ju.
dicious and comprehensive expression of
true Democratic principles" Of the
financial plank, OF which We have not
yet spoken, Its wisdom will, We predict,
be- abundantly confirmed and made man
iiest by the National Convention at st.
Louis.

POPULARITY OF HAYES IN OHIO

HAYES was nominated because of his
supposed ability to carry Ohio. How has
he upheld the party strength in that
State heretofore:
In 1866, the Republicans carried Ohio,
by majority of 1850. In 1867, Gen.
HAYES was the candidate for Governor,
and, with the prestige of that fine ma
jority to start with, he was barely elected
by the insignificant vote of 1888.
In the following year, lS6S, the Re-
publicans carried the State by Il, 42S ma.
jorlty; while HAYES, rs a candidate for
reelection in the following year 1869,
brought that majority down to 1913.
In 1870 and 1878, the Republican ma
jorities in Ohio went up again to the
neighborhood OF 10000; while in 1875
HAYES majority was but 2,95l.
With good ticket on a good pistform,
the Democrats can beat HAYES in Ohio
this year.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1876-06-22

The Cincinnati ticket represents the
railroad and subsidy schemes which are
so prolific in Congress. HAYES voted
for them every time, when member OF
the House OF Representatives. He has
intimate relations with a ring of railroad
men in Ohio who built the Kansas Pa
cific and some others of the land-stealing
railroads. WHEELER was put on the
list with him, because rs Chairman OF
the Pacific Railroad Committee, he
had been serviceable to the bond and
lsnd-stesling crew. 1t is jobbing
ticket throughout.
The Washington lobbyists are opper-
ting in every direction. They have
selected ROLLINS, the most convenient
and shrewd instrument OF their purposes,
as the Senator from New Hampshire.

BEFORE the Republican party came
into power it denounced polygamy as a
relic of barbarism. During all the years
of its supremacy it has found time to rob
the treasury and plumber the people, has
overthrown loyal State governments at
the point of the bayonet, and paralyzed
trade. But it has not found time to sup
press polygamy. Now that it is going
out of power, it demands such legisla-
ton" as will "extlrpate in the territories
that relic of barbarism-polygamy." 1t
controlled Congress for fifteen years.
Why did it not enact such legislation
during that perlod2 For the simple
reason that the Republican party is a
gross fraud upon the moral sentiment OF
the country.
