has leaked out here that the organization

of the Peoples party leaders that they
were counted out in Georgia aud Alabama
In Georgia, they claim. as many as 5000

The eNeLIsH coTToN sTRIKERs.


LONDON, Dec. 30.-It is probable that a
joint conference will be held at an early
date between the representatives of the
masters and the operatives of the cotton
mills, to settle on some agreement to ter
inmate the struggle. The suffering of tn
non-unionists has increased greatly. 1t is
calculated that about 10000 working peo-
pie outside the unions have for the most
part absolutely exhausted all their avail
able belongings to buy food La some dis
tricts groups of men promenade he streets
soliciting charity for their families, while
others make house-to house visitations.
The severe weather has naturally itensi
fed the suffering The boards of guardians
are doing what they can to alleviate the
pee pies distress but many operatives have
a strong repugnance to taking parish re-
lief, aud would prefer to suffer the last ex-
tremitieS rather than to do so.

outlook for the Democratic party was very
encouraging, and that no better evidence OF
this could be furnished than in the recent
returns from Vermont and Arkansas, and
now from Maine. Mr. Harrity predicted
that at the election In Florida on October 4
the Democratic majority would show an In
crease. He declared that In November the
party would be sure to carry all the South
ern States. Congratulatory kilograms
passed between him and the Democratic
State leaders of Maine.
Ex-Postmaster General Donald NJ. Dick
1nson, Chairman of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee, said: "To borrow a cur
rent phrase, Maine is an upper-out right
handler for our friends, the enemy. Fol-
lowing the Vermont disaster there will be
gatherings in hot haste for prolonged con-
sultations among the fat fryers and
the, this year, somewhat reluctant
fried. 1t means, for one thing, that
money as means in an election is a COM
parative failure under the new ballot laws.
The election is an object lesson to Demo-
Gratis everywhere. The organization of
Morton and his associates in the State was
the best the Maine Democrats have had in
twenty years, and therefore it got out and
polled our vote. Organization by school
and road districts and voting precincts will
do this, and nothing else will.
National headquarters was illuminated
tonight with great electric colored lights.
A huge electric sign, Cleveland and Ste
venson," blazed on the front of the build
ing, and another great, sign on the roof
shone out with democratic Headquar-
ters," that no Democrat might go astray
nights,
