meet Col. Ludlow. We are TO take
trip down the river to Grand Haven
tomorrow you know. l hope Col.
Ludlow 10 favorable to the project. l
think il is an admirable one. A great
deal depends upon what the engineers
say. That's the fret thing they ask us
down At Washington, What did the
engineer think about ir don't
think an appropriation can be secured
from the next congress, although pos
sbly il can. You see the next con-
gress wall be democratic. They have
raised 80 much fuss about the appro-
priauons OF the last congress
that II will be hard matter TO
get them % make an sppro-
p,iation for anything. They will desire
TO pose As icing economical. But IL
the engineer will make = favorable re-
port We will do everything We can 10
secure the appropriation
How about elcctiony Is II getting
qnieted down here nowy I'm very glad
that Mr.. Belknap Is elected. Mr.. LAW
renee isa very nice young man. but he
wasn't able 10 appeal ~ the labor vote.
II takes workingfnan now 10 run Tor
Office. Pm getting " be sort OF y
farmer myself. ! ride out 10 the farm
mornings and make believe 10 'biow
up" the boys If they haven't done
things the way l want them done.
Then ! hunt up Mr.. Brown and tell
him the hair on that Cat doesn't lie
straight. In that way I'm building up
quite = reputation"
L. J. Patton, of Moundville, West
Virginia, isa guest at the Eagle. In
speaking OF the condition of the south.
he said IL took q trip through the
Southern States just before coming
here, and found times very nard. The
trouble seems TO be an over production
of cotton. That may seem very
strange, but such is the ease. For
three years the South has had immense
crops OF cotton. and the crop this year
was the largest OF the three. The mar
ket price of cotton nov 10 only about
cents q pound while IL costs cents
to raise it. They're not like the North
ern farmers, who have several crops To
rely upon. They won't raise anything
but cotton, and If they can't sell that
they're left. But they are beginning TO
adopt Northern Ideas IN their farming
and TO raise something beeldes cotton
and tobacco. This { ak about the lands =
wearing out there and needing rest 10
all nonsense, too. It's because they
don't take any care OF It. They never
piow it-iust scratch It on the surface.
know OF an Ohio msn VINO went down
into Alanama with heavy teams and
did some regular Northern plowing on
his land. People used to come from
all around to zee that man plow, and
they were perfectly astonlshed at the
crop he raised. It's lack of proper
cultivation that ails Southern farms.
The Hon. Henry H. Holt. Of Mus
kegon. is guest al the Morton. "Am
pleased VITA the result of the cleo
ton?' he said. swell, should think
was. 1t is magnificent triumph for
republican principles. Wherever the
democrats won IL was on local issues.
! ! regard this electon as q tap on the
| head for Grover Cleveland. All BIS

MIR. Cieveland's oplnions are very un-
| fortunate anyway. His free trade ideas
,io not please The East, but his stand
on the silver question il very sa,isfac-
tory. Out West his tariff views are all
right, but he attitude on the silver
| question u very Unsatisfactory. | do
not thlnk now that II Will be possible

largely to the fsct that he had not
committed himself on any of these
questions; but BoE that he has ex-
pressed himself 20 positively. 10 not
think he can rsce We tse nomination or
be elected II ne does.
