SENATOR PUGH, OF ALABAMA,
Is Opposed to the Nomination of q
Southern Statesman for the Vice
Presidency.

New YORK Herald. The Senator was
asked il he had seen the letter OF the Her.
aid correspondent at Memphis, Tenn, pub
lished in the Herald of the 18th instant,
giving an interview with the editor of the
Memphis APPEAL, indicating that the
Southern Democrats were organizing to
present Gen. Gordon or some other South
ern Democrat as a candidate for Vice
President. Senator Pugh answered that
he had seen the article, and was amused
at its transparency at is too thin," he
said, ''to obstruct the vision of anyone
who is not entirely blind. Upon that sub
ieot can speak with the utmost conf
dence, and what say will be verified
when the convention meets. ] have
never heard Southern Democrat intimate
o desire that such claim should be pre-
sentrd 20 the Democratic Convention, and
l have no idea that dozen Democrats can
be found in any Southern State who ever
gave such claim moments serious con-
sideration. / know | can speak for the
Democracy Of Alahama. / make the pre-
diction with absolute confidence that no
man in any Southern State can be elected
as delegate 10 the Democratic Convention
who makes known his intention to pre-
sent Gen. Gordon or any other Southern
man for the nomination as Nice-President.
No Southern man that the democrats
there consider worthy their confidence
would allow himself to be presented to the
convefitios for nomination. We have
many Southern inea who gre eminently
qualified to fill the Presidential office witb
ability, fidelity and patriotism. They are
the equals of any statesmen in the North
of any party, but the people OF the South
understand perfectly the necessities and
Broprjeties OF their position. The RePnb-
heaHs vii never De gratifiea by finding
any element OF discord from the .Sonth in
the Democratic Convention. When that
convention makes Its nomination you will
hear no murmur of discomfort from the
Southern Democracy"

FoR tricks that are vain, the New York

HENRY B. PAYNE
Thinks Cleveland is the Coming Man
and that Butler is Not to be

Henry B. Payne, who is prominently

President, was asked the other day in
Cleveland as 10 the relative chances of
prominent Democrats for the Presidential
nomination. "At present." he replied, at
is a matter of conjecture, but the result of
the election in the several States this fall
Will Ypquestionably go ffar toward the
solution OF this kolitical problem. If New
York State goes Democratic by q large ma
jority this fall-a: majority that will assure
Democratic success in that State in 1851
Gov. Clevelandwill undoubtedly be the
strongest man before the Democratic Con-
vention. HIS administration has been
characterized by discretion. He has made
no mistakes and has the confidence and
trust of the people. Butler has no chance
yhateYer, He could not carry a single
Northern State-not mentioning the
South, where he is not cherished with
feelings OF pleasure. He could not carry

Democratic nomination for the Presi-

THE COTTON CROP.
The Condition Worse Than on the First
of fSeptember.

WAsuINGToN, October 10.-The cotton
returns of the Department of Agriculture
show that the condition of the crop on the
1st of October was worse than it was on
the lst of September. The continuance of
the e1drouth at many points, the ravages of
worms in the regions most infected, and
the more visible results of the previous in
juries have reduced the general average of
the condition from "A to 6S. In October
last year the average was SO, and the crop
100000; in October, 1881, the average
was 66 and the crop less than $500, 900
bales. The rate of yield per acre was a
third greater than last year. The indica-
tions point to a crop a little larger than
that OF 1881, but falling short of the last
crop by more than 100000 bales The
highest condition is in Florida, where the
small breadth had an early and favorable
start; the lowest is in Texas. The entire
gulf coast suffered from drouth and the
caterpillar. The more northern States OF
the cotton belt escaped insect injuries
and the worst severity of the dry season.
The averages of the conditions are as fol-
lawS.

What the People of Nashville Want.
In explanation of the threatened diff
Guilty in Nashville to-day we copy the fol-
lowing article from the American of yes
terday:
WHAT THE PEOPLE MEAN TO HAVE.
The question of paramount importance
to the citizens of Nashville-eyery man,
woman and child of every race and of all
colors-is the necessity, absolute and i'm
perative, OF change of the personnel in its
administrative government. How can the
truth ofthe proposition that the city s affairs
have been mismanaged, be established,
especially as regards its financial business,
without the election OF new men to fairly
and thoroughly overhaul the books and
accounts and investigate the methods of
their predecessors to the bottom?
The reelection of the old members
could not ''vindicate" them. 1t would be
simply tantamount to a public indorse,
ment of their palpable mismanagement
and authority from the people to resume
the old system with bolder disregard than
ever OF the interests of the taxpayers.
For illustration, suppose an incompe
| tent employe of a business house, bank
ing institution or manufacturing enter
prise be suspected of incompetency ol
worse in the conduct of the business O
his employers. Should he be reinstatec
after being discharged, for cause, in order
to afford him opportunity to ''vindicate'
the mismanagement by which the bust
ness suffered?
If reform means anything, it means
change from Alpha to Omega--an entire
cleansing of the Augean stables. In nc
| other way can the test be fairly made as
between the self-nominated rulers of the
people and their incompetent official ser
wants. The occasion demands an entirely
new deal. And the people mean to have it

At Cincinnati,

CINcrSNATl, October 10.--The CONNER
cidi Gdzete, in its last edition this morning,
says the impression prevails that IIoadly
is elected Governor by from 5000 to 5000
majority. The full returns may give a
different result, but the outlook is not
favorable. The Legislature is i'll doubt,
but is claimed by both sides. The second
amendment vote is large, but probably
will be defeated by the Cincinnati vote.
Counting the returns is in confusion in
this county. Owing to very late work, the
morning newspapers. have barely a sug
gestiop of the detailed vote. Everybody
is worn out, and progress to-day is slow.
The best estimate on Hamilton county,
from additional returns received this morn
ing, give Hoadly a majority of from 1900
to 2J00, with the Legislative and county
tickets either divided or the Democrats
defeated. This is based on the returns
from seventy-thTee out OF 1903 precincts,
and may be modified either way by subse-
quent returns. As near as can be esti
mated, the majority against the second
amendment will exceed 10000.
Mglard Smith, of the Commercial Ga
,ette, did not watch the returns last night
but to-day after i1ekipT over the field said
he did not regard Foraksf defeated. At
the previous elections the Democrats suc-
cess in the elections of Governor had been
heralded by the Democratic papers the
morning after the election and conceded
by the Republicans, and yet the later re-
turns wholly change the aspect OF Affairs.
He regards tho precincts not heard from
as likely to produce gFester Republican
gains. AS 10 the causes for the practical
Republican defeat, Mr.. Smith says Foraker
lost votes from both parties on account OF
the temperance issue. ia thought also
the woolgrowers and wine-groTers OPP
posed him.
