steady; New York losing to 6, and this
market all of the advance but point. The
feeling here was an easy one and has de-
veloped the fact that the speculative short
interest is not a large one and those who
have sold against actual cotton are i d fer

down. The result was when the longs

slight, and with the expectation of lower

couragement to buy for profit at the
moment. 1t is generally expected that a
light movement will be brought in this week
but that did not stimulate the market, tut a
feeling ssems to prevail that what is lost
this week may be gained next week. Cotton
must now stand on its merits. It cannot be

He Draws Out of the Race for

AUSTIN, TEX, March 21.-Hou. Horace
Chiffon addressed the following letter to q
caucus of his friends tonight, announcing
his withdrawal from the race for United
States senator:
AUSTIN, TEX, March 81, lss2
Hon. ]. c. Kearby, Chairman Chiffon Caucus:
When the governor of Texas in last
April rendered me the appointment as SEN
ator accepted this high distinction in the
hope that l would lind IN the prospect
which it opened field of effort where
1 might do some service for the people of
Texas, among whom I was born. Since
that time have sought to perform my full
duty to those whom | represented, first, by
responding to such invitations of my fellow
citizens as indicated necessity for political
discussion throughout the state, and since
the assembling of congress by constant at
tendance upon its proceedings. The meet
ing of the legislature of Texas
imposes upln that body thes con-
stitutional duty OF selecting my sue
cessor, and my candidacy for the
placeihas been well known for some time.
Many members of the legislature have
contest which has now come TO a
crisis, but upon my arrival here
some three days ago found that number
of my friends thus situated felt that their
freedom OF action had been abridged by
meetings in their districts favorable to
other gentlemen, and that 1 would lose
their votes upon a ballot 1 found,
in addition, that others were to
some extent hampered by expressions
from their constituents, which, though
lacking authority, were not without in
fluence. The senators and representatives
who occupy this position have stated to me
with generous fidelity their pur-
pose to vote for me upon the roll
call tomorrow, but 1 find that
my total vote with their help
will not be enough to elect me. This forces
upon me the responsibility of deciding
whether I shall pursue aninetfective strug-
gle to formal ballot, and thereby involve
some of my friends in possible con-
troversy with home influences
or relieve them of embarrassment
by withdrawing from the contest before a
vote is taken. would much prefer to pur-
sue the matter to its logical conclusion by
final vote, and feel strong repugnance
to withdrawal, but as the result
must be the same, I am not will
ing to persist in putting upon those
whose friendship has been so
unselfshly offered a choice between the al
ternatives have mentioned, therefore 1
write to withdraw my name from the con-
test. In taking this step desire to tender
to you and my other friends the strongest
pledges of my gratitude, and say to one and
all that your affection and confidence have
laid their impress upon my heart forever.

FIGHTING SILVER.

The Evening Mail, a pro-Mills paper,
rebukes the house of representatives
at Austin for the passage OF a free
silver resolution, and tells the legisla-
tors in terse language why 1--WE Don't
Want Free Coinage" After a repeti-
ton of the stereotyped argume nts for
the gold standard, it continues:
''We can't see why Texas wants to howl
for the free coinage bill anyhow. Anybody
knows it's going to initiate the value of
silver. But what benefit is that to US who
haven't any silver TO inflated Up in Colo
RADIO where you can't walk hundred yards
without stepping in silver mine and
where the principal industries are in some

bill They will temporarily receive bene-
fits. But those who are not governed by
selfish motives and have the nations well
fare at heart will oppose the free coinage
of silver because it means certain financial
embarrassment to our country without q
single benefit
From series of short interviews on
the subject of the senatorship published
in last Wednesdays GAZETTE, we
quote this utterance by Capt. NJ. B.
Lloyd, president OF the First national
bank of this city:
81 would like to see Mr.. Mills in the
United States senate. I like Mr.. Mills
politics. 1 am an anti-free coinage man."
Yet some people have been silly
enough to blame THE GAZETTE for the
simple statement of fact that Mr.. Mills
is opposed to free silver, to all practi-
cal intent as much opposed to it as any
congressman from Massachusetts,.
