JUST AS WE EXPECTED.

The sensation of the day i'll Kan
sas is an Interview witt Mrs. Lease,
who has been accompanying Gen
Weaver in bis tour through the
Southern States. She recite5 the IN
diguities they were subjected 10, anu
then declares il a vote for Weaver Is
i'm reality a vote for Cleveland in TINS
State, her desire is that the Popuilies
scratch their tickets and vote Tor
Harrison electors.
Mrs. Lease IL, next to jerry SImp-
son, the strongest leader OF the h9h
sas Populites, and her expressed
wishes have caused great consterha-
ton. not only in her own party, Dut
among Democrats.
The above is a special from Topeka,
Kansas. 1t simply confirms the
belief, that we have all the while en-
tertained and expressed, that WeaV-
err and his accOmplice in petticoats
are in a conspiracy with the Republi-
cans to carry the country for Harri-
son.
They came down here expecting to
break the solid South, bat hndIhg
that our people could not he hood
winked with their hypccritical cant,
they 90 back to play the martyr be-
fore Northern audiences, and arouse
their prejadices with woetul tales OF
! Southern Uutrages.
NIrs. Lease has been offered S5OOt
by the Republican managers, to make
a series OF speeches in New York enc
other Northern States, on Southern
| O1tragCs. She is doubtless prepar
ing herself to accept Che offer.
That there was an unhailowF
alliance between the Republican
and Popuiites to elect Harrison ha
been reasonably apparent for som'
time, but the course OF the kansa
Amazon is absolutely conclusive.
Her action is in perfect accord viii
the deal of Kolb and Mcdowell fc
the capture Of Alabama and Tenne-
see. That such a trade has been con
sumnated is no longer denied by tn
Populite leaders. The rank and fill
of the party can no longer be deceive
by the pretense that tie Third part
is not in partnership with the Reput
licans.
If they continue in the party, the
will do it with their eyes open to 1t
real nature. They cali no longer b
excused ON the grounds of ignoranc
of wat they are doing.
And if, with a knowledge OF tn
real facts, they continue to suPpol
the combination, how much bette
are they than the Republicans whor
a majority of them have been tighi
ing all their lives?

COTTON AND THE HATCH BILL.
Southern Ccnters Fail to IndOrse the
Proposed Changes.

Southern Ccuters Fail to Endorse the
Proposed Changes.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20.-The Plea
yune publishes a lengthy interview with
Henry @. Hester, secretary of the New
Orleans Cotton exchange, relative TO
the recent action of that institution re-
fusing to make any change in the form
of their future contract Mr.. Hester
shows that ont of 1 900 leading southern
interior cotton centers, which the st.
Louis Republic states were furnished
with blank petitions favOring change,
only twenty-eight of those towns re-
sponded.
He says that before the publication OF
the ST. Louis Republic article there was
a very strong sentiment in favor OF
change to a low middling clause, but
that the fact developed by the st. Louis
Republic that over go leading southern
centers failed or refused to indOrse the
petition for change is mainly response
BILE for revulsion in sentiment at New
Orleans.
Mr.. Hester says that the resolutions
sent by the Galveston exchange to the
st. Louis and other exchanges are en-
tirely different to those sent to New Or
leans. tina tibet resolutions sent to New
! Orleans declined to join in opposition to
the Hatch bill because of difference OF
opinion entertained by the members or
! the Galveston exchange. that IN the res
olutions sent by Galveston to st. Louis
nothing whatever was SAID about TINS
| difference of opinion. Galveston was
only asking for a change in the form OF
! contracts.
| In answer to a question or the re-
porter as to what Galveston wants, Mr..
| Hester says his people are uncertain. but
adds that he has official data indicating
that the wish of Galveston for the pas
sage of some such measure as the hatch
bill is due to the belief that the Hatch
measure will ruin the free on board and
! forward delivery business, thereby
greatly iujuring the business OF small
! southern towns and driving 1T to the
larger cities and the seaboard. MI:
Hester insists that the prosperity OF
! New Orleans and other large southern
cotton ceuters must of necessity be based
on the prosperity of the smaller CONNER,
cial communities in the south and
that whereas much of the business thaI
was formerly done at the large centers
is now controlled by the interior towns
i the prosperitv of the latter gives ample
scope for the brains and capital OF the
!. larger seaboard cities. Mr.. Hester
stated that i'll common with New 1OrH
the belief was firmly entertained tina
; the present form of contract Is undouDt
edlv the fairest and most equitable tina
