He avoided speaking about his success in
Massachusetts,. When asked if he was a can
didate, he started and spoke quickly as he in.
quired "For what2" and when the reporter
suggested for the Presidency in the next ma
tional Democratic Convention, he said en-
phaticaly mo, sir" He confined his an
swers to questions mainly as TO the causes of
the recent Republican defeats, and said a
good deal about internal tariff tax and the
tariff. He thought there would be no imme-
diate results from the last weeks elections
and no substantial change that would benefit
the country until the meeting of Congress in
1885, unless the President should call an ex-
ira session in May of that year. He refused
to speak of the chances of eleoting Demo-
cratic President When asked "What can
the Democrats do TO be successfully" he re-
piled Garry out the principles of Jefferson
and Jackson, adopt a judicious tariff, striking
on every surplus, exceptionable and question
able expenditure bring down every kind of
taxation to the lowest possible point eonsis

penditure of the public money take in hand

OF provision and other necsssaries of life
bring back in this time of peace the action of
the Federal Government within the narrow
est limits possible for its efficiency; leave all
local questions of government to the several
States, and show by their moderation, econo-
my and statesmanship that they are fitted to
govern, and the people will give them the
Government for long series of years as thew
gave it to their fathers"

The cotton crop now being gathered in the
Southern states is estimated at 1000, 900
bales, the largest ever raised. The largest
crop raised before the war was that of 1859
GO, 1861 900 bales. The work of picking is
going actively forward, but there is scarcity
of hands The price is so to 60 cents a hun
dred, and in some localities 81 per hundred
with board, at which rate good pickers can
make So to 81 day. Even this does not
bring out the necessary supply of labor and a
considerable portion of the crop on the low
or Mississippi will go unpcked The most
satisfactory feature is that the present cotton
crop has not been raised to the neglect of
other agricultural products. Taking heed of
the lesson taught them by past experience
the planters paid more attention to diversified
crops than ever before, and the large cotton
crop is accompanied by an, unprecedented
cereal harvest Tennessee and Texas have
raised enough wheat to supply them, and all
the cotton statos have unusual supplies of
corn.

SARATOGA, Sept. 20.-The Republican State
convention met here at halfpast eleven o'clock
this morning.
The first question was on the election OF a
temporary chairman and the contest resulted
in a victory for the administration candidate
ex-senator E. NJ. Madden, who had been agreed
upon at the meeting Of the State committee
early in the day. The roll-cau showed 2ol
votes for Madden and 243 votes for Pitts or a
majority of eight for the former. 1t was evil
dent from this vote, which was essentially a
test of the sense of the convention, that the
Wadsworth and Cornell men had pooled their
issues in order to defeat the administration
candidate, but they were Outnumbered by the
administration delegates
Senator Madden was escorted to the chair
by the Hon. Hamilton Fish and E. L. Pitts
and the business of the convention was begun
by the appointment of committees on perma-
nent organization, credentials, and resolu-
tions.
Balloting was not begun until after the noon
recess. The first ballot resulted as follows
Folger, 223.
Cornell, $50.
Wadsworth, 60.
Starin, 10.
Robinson, 6.
On the second ballot Judge Folger received
the nomination.

reports her to be in pitiable condition of dis

always lived up to her income and at different
times has been in debt "just as everybody else
has been," but she Indignantly repudiates the
charges of any dishonest proceedings on her
part, and complains bitterly because of the
brand of forgery which has recently been at

A Speech by Attorncy.General Brewster.

ALBANY, Sept. 19.-Attorney- General Brew
ster addressed the New York Bar Association
here to-day. His speech was entirely informal
Speaking of the star-route trials, he said its
revelations had shocked the whole country.
1t was the conviction of those who had the
best means of information that over four hun
dred thousand dollars of the public money
had been stolen in the transactions. There
were still more than twenty three undisposed-
of indictments. This one had been fully and
fairly tried, and he and all knew the result.
1t would seem that if it had come to the
pass that juries could be handled and dealt
with as this one had been, then trial by Jury
was itself a doubtful legal remedy. But he
did not believe it, Many men declare that if
such things could be done they had better
have no juries at all, but he did not agree
with them. He believed it only demonstra-
tion of the usefulness of juries for from the
evil consequences here exposed there is a
moral reaction and judgment that those
who undertook the corrupting process will
never escape from them. The liberties Of
this people were secured by themselves, but
they had been maintained and declared by the
lawyers, and they would be to the end. TAp-
plause.
The liberties of the people would pass away
when courts of justice ceased to be places
where men go to have their rights and duties
determined. The day they allowed party
feeling or personal interest to enter the court
house would be the day when the liberties of
the people would perish. 1t is to such men
as compose the State Bar Association that
they must look for the maintenance and per-
petaity of American institutions. AS long as
there were lawyers in America there was no
danger of these liberties perishing. Applause
