GALVESTON, September 2,-Tho cotton

673 bales.
Colonel George r. Finlay, democratic
nominee for congress from the seventh dis
trict who was prevented from speaking
last night by the inclemency OF the
weather, addressed large audience
tonight In tho rotunda of the fremont
house. After being introduced by Colonel
Claiborne, chairman of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee, he spoke In substance as
follows:
He was the democratic candidate and
would not go back over the history OF the
country for tho past twenty years, but
would address himself TO the issues of the
day. He had always been democratic be-
cause it was part of the constitution
and ofthe people that live under the con,
stitution. The people were the rulers, ana ~
by the people to the general government
were reserved to the people. This district
had interests which did not appear in any
other district in the state and if sent to
congress he would protect the interests OF
the entire district. This was deep
S water district MadS and the was people mot wao ong
the right of the general government, but
its duty to grant us this. He stood on the
platform OF both parties on this subject.
He said there was prejudice
against Galveston in this dis,
trict, but if she would stand
shoulder to shoulder to the democracy, the
the prejudice would be repoved. If elected
he would WORK as earnestly for deep water
at Arkansas, Brazos and San Diego. The
interests we're identical-the advancement
and improvement at one of these points
was beneficial to all, and the resources OF
the west would be poured into the lap OF
Galveston. ),
He then stated his opinion upon the
question of tariff, upon which he stated he
had been misrepresented. he stood along
side of Bayard, Hancock. Joe Brown, Ran
SON. Harris, Voorhees,, Tildep and a host
of others in favor OF tariff for
protection it might afford, he did not be-
iieve the protection was warranted in the
constitution of the United States, and if
there was an abomination on the statutes
of the country, it was the protection sys-
tenn of tariff. He considered free trade
at the present time an impossibility, and
claims its institution would add nine mil.
lion dollars to the taxes in Texas alone, and
he maintained that articles Of prime
necessity in general use among
the masses Of people should
be admitted free; spoke Of the fact that
under the present system of tariff articles
Of necessity liver were taxed 1xnrI 1Oo sdpc per
CENT, duu tllOoc VI iuAWy, ouSii
as diamonds, 10 per cent. He, favored
such protection on wool, rice
and sugar as would come under the head of
tariff from revenue and incidental protec-
ton. He said if the taxes should be taken
from from w snSaaT he hot raised s'a in the
south. He mentioned that, of the tour
EMBARRASSING counties of the state, none OF
them would give him majority. He then
addressed his attention to his opponent, not
attacking his private record or himself per-
sonally, but politically, and in his public
character charged that his candidacy was
dictated by the general government, and
the republicans OF the district mad 10 swai-
Colonel Finlay then dealt in a flow Of wit
d, and satire at the expense OF Major Ochll-
tree, and closed by saying that Major
Ochiltree had been invited to meet him IN
Joint discussion, but had positively declined
early in the morning.
An explosion occurred in a car in the
freight yards of the Galveston, Houston q
Henderson. The car had in it case OF
matches and quantity OF powder and was
consequently demolished. No. one was
hurt. The origin of the explosion is I'M
known .
.GALyEsToN, September 20.-Considerable
dissatisfaction is manifested here by those
who are democrats from principal at the &C
ton of the county executive committee IN
declining to submit to the dem ocratlc party
at the primaries the question whether or not
a convention should be held for the purpose
ofputting democratic county PICKET !: , IN tne
field. The action fthe majority is looked
upon as arbitrary.
Colonel John NJ. Claiborne, chairman OF
the state democratic executive committee,
who was also o member of the county COM
mittee, resigned his connection with the
latter committee. He was too good dem
-, nil on I'm a
body. 1t was evident that portion OF the
committee were pledged to various candl-
dates in the field and that they would sac
rifice their fealty to the party rather than
be guided by the action of the convention.
This county has been considered the
stronghold of Colonel Thomas Ochiitree, me
INDEPENDENT administration candidate Tor
congress, but the refusal of Colonel Ochll-
tree TO enter into JOINT canvass of the dis
trict with Colonel George 2. Finlay,. demo
cratic candidate, or even to meet nm IN JOINT
debate at any point during the campaign
has SO seriously detracted from his popu,
larity that there is very little prospect OF
his Carving the district The announce
ment of Hon. Bolivar Pridgeor, OF Dewitt
county, an acknowledged republican, as an
independent candidate for congress seems
Int TO doubly insure 0chiltree's defeat.
