Kansas City Times 1.-THE fifth dis
tr:ct convention OF republicans indorsed
the state convention for nominating 4
ticket, but failed to make their own
action consistent with their indorse-
ment. by failing to nominate candi-
date for congress. Another explana-
tion is In order from our morning con.
temporary, and when made, it is to be
hoped it will be more lucid than its
explanation about a state ticket beng
required on principle. while principle
can be wholly disregarded in naming
candidates for the responsible county

ury to the unripe bolls or to the ,wigs, foil:
age or blooms The principle upon which
the machiue is constructed having been
shown to be practicable and successful, sew:
eral attempts were made to improviso an at:
tachment for the mules which would ena;
BILE them to pull more evenly. They wero
finally hitchcd up 70 n two horse wagon, and
the wagon attached to the machue. The
mules then pulled the wagon with the ma:
chine after it. Better results were obtained
but 1t was clearly shown that new arrange:
ment for the attachment of the mules will
have to be made. This is a mere matter of
detail and with little time can easily be
accomplished. 1t has been determined
to remove the brushing portion of the ma:
chine and, if found desirable, to construct n
machine for cleaning the plants separately
BY this change the size Of the machine will
be about half its present size. 1t will be
then easily handled and the horses can be
easily attached and the guards arranged so
as to make the movement along the rows
even and steady. An additional number of
picking discs will also be used SO as TO rem:
der it next to impossible fer any of the bolls
on plant to escape contact with the pickers
1t would have been of course miracle if
the machine had upon its first trial gone
into the field and worked perfectly in every
particular. The necessity for the modif.
cations above mentioned could only be seen
by actual experiment. and when made those
interested in the invention feel assured that
they will have a machine Of inc stimable
value.
THE PLANS OF THE OWNERS.
The gentlemen who with Mr.. Hase lton
now own the patents will obtain charter
from the, Legislature now in session for the
purpose of forming themselves into com:
pany for the manufacture Of the machines
1t is of course great misfortune that the
delay in the construction of the machine
should have prevented an exhibition of its
capabilities before committee of cotton
planters and cotton factors. The crop has
been gathered and it is now too late to make
further trials this year. 1t is estimated,
however, from what has been seen, that when
the machine is modified, as described, its
capacity will be between 5000 and 5000
pounds oc seed cotton day with the use
of two mules and one laborer. The cost of
picking the last cotton crop exceeded $50.
600, 900. The immense value of the
machine, if it even accomplshes halfof what
is claimed for it will be seen at glance
