GALVESTON, July 2S.-Concerning the
present drought and condition of crops in
Texas the Neaos says: ''The accounts
from the growing crops that continue to
reach the NelCs are anything but encour-
aging. In some districts a full crop of
corn is assured, but in many portions of
the State, even the corn crop is not salts

grain. has been abundant wherever
planted. Cotton in all sections is in a
precarious condition from the continued
drought. The heavy rains of the spring
and early summer retarded planting
operations, and the crop, such as it is, is
very late. The drought of the past six or
eight weeks has stunted the growth and
everywhere comes up for rain. Should
the drought continue for two weeks longer
incalculable injury will be done, and the
cotton crop will be cut short disastrously.
On the other hand, with general rains
within week or two fair cotton yield
may yet be made. The condition of the
cotton crop today is criticalD

Meeting at Chickering Hall.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-A mass meeting
of lrishmen who favor the election of
Blaine and Logan was held tonight at
Chickering Hall. The hall was taxed to
its utmost capacity to accommodate those
who desired to attend. Among those upon
the platform were Gov. Davas f. Burke,
Capt. Michael Foley, Patrick Ford, of the
Irish World, Capt. O'Meagher Condor, of
Washington. Edward J. Rowe, John
Roach and Col. J. 7. O'Flynn,
Austin X. Ford was made Chairman
He said that it was a strange thing to see
10000 lrish-Americans assembled in
New York city to indOrse the nominees of
the Republican party. The first speaker
was Rev. George W. Pepper, of Ohio.
He said that they had come together to
defeat the candidate supported by the
London Times. The Republican party
had always been oppressed by the English
government, whose sympathies were with
the Democrats. 1t was the party of per-
sonal liberty and protection of labor.
FREE TRADE DENOUNCED.
Free trade crippled every country in
which it had been introduced. He pre-
dicted that in November next Cleveland
would be buried so deep that the sound OF
GabriePs trumpet would never reach him.
Not one in twenty Irishman in Ohio would
vote for Cleveland. The Catholics there
were all opposed to him.
Henry Cary Baird, the next speaker,
said, that the only way to do with Eng
land was to cripple her industries, and
this could be done by keeping the Repub-
hcan party in power.
Judge Brennan, of Iowa, said
that he had come fourteen
hundred miles to be present at the
meeting. Democrats had said for forty
years that because they were Irish they
must vote the Democratic ticket. 1t was
now time to say that they would vote the
Republican ticket. The other speakers
were p. L. Barry, of Illinois, and Capt.
O'Meagher Condor, of Washington. A
circular was distributed giving reasons
why Cleveland should. not be supported
by the laboring classes.
