MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.
In Convention Assembled They Adopt a
Platform Patriotic in Tone.


BOSTON, Sept 27.-The Democratic
state convention was held in fremont
temple today. The usual committees
were appointed and shortly after a
committee on permanent organization
made partial report recommending
Charles Theodore Russell of Cam
bridge permanent chairman and
Daniel Buckley or North Easter, per.
manent secretary. The recommends
tiOns were adopted and Russell was
escorted to the platform.
The denomination of Governor Rus
sell was unanimously made and
James B. Carroll was nominated for
lieutenant governor.
The report of the committee ON plat
form followed. 1t opens with renewals
of allegiance to the Democratic prin-
ciples of government; the Chicago
platform is endorsed as whole and
the presidential record of Grover
Cleveland is commended. The plat
form also demands that raw material
be admitted free of duty and particu.
larly emphasizes the necessity for
free wool, coal, iron, lumber and all
drugs, dyes and chemicals used in
manufacturing enterprises. 1t then
says that while it may suit the tenn
porary exigencies of Republican party
politics to keep the force bill in
the background, we believe with SEN
ator Hoar the support of this measure
constitutes the essense of Republican
ism and Republican success will bring
with it measure which menaces the
political liberty of all our people. The
platform then asserts that the Repub-
lican party has not administered the
civil service law in accordance either
with the letter or spirit and demands
the stringent enforcement of measures.
1t also declares that the Republican
party has conceived, fostered and still
protects trusts and combinations of
capital and system of bounties and
subsidies which are at variance with
the true principles of our government.
The balance of the ticket is as fol-
lows: Secretary of state, Charles s..
Hamlin, of Brookline; treasurer and
receiver, Gen. JAMES s. Grinnell, of
Greenfield; auditor, Irwin B. Sayles,
of Millbury; attorney general, Charles
+. Lilly, of Lowell; presidential elect
ors at large, Patrick Collins of Boston
and John Russell of Leicester. Then
followed the election ofmembers of the
state committee at large and presi-
Dental electors for the several dis
tricts.

COTTON CIRCULAR.
Atwood Violet & Co. on the Condition Of
the Market.


the Market.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27.-Atwood
Violet & Co. say:
Futures heavy, realizing caused the
break in the market from the highest
Couch today of 10 points. There was
q slight recovery in both markets.
December opened here at 80, advanced
to 48 and closed at Al. Our New York
telegram this afternoon says: "Expect
higher tomorrow, as Liverpool will
be Influenced by light receipts,
which today at the ports is $4,000
bales against $4,000 last year."
Liverpool lost 2-64c, with spot
sales of 900 bales and this discour-
aged further buying later on in the
day. We now go back to spots on it's
merits. We anticipate good de-
mand and there is no reason at the
moment to indicate any pressure to
sell by spot holders. Therefore with
December at Al here at the close
three lower than last night it seems to
us safe to buy on that basis for any
month. Liverpool, we expected,
would open at about yesterdays
prices and the decline there conse-
quently surprised us. We rather
look for better prices there
Tomorrow. The port move
ment for the weeks of
October of last Gear was very heavy
one and commencing Saturday next
there is every Indication of decided
falling off as compared with every cor
responding day last year. We will of
course have heavier movement but
it will compare with very large
movement. What the measure of
that movement may be will largely
govern of course the near future of the
market. According to our expecta-
tions the volume of it will be of a
character to sustain the market. We
. note no improvement in crop ac-
Nounts.
Spots closed quiet, sales 1000 bales,
quotations unchanged.

COMMISSIONERS PECK.
He Makes Answer in Court to Charges
Preferred Against Him.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Labor
Commissioner Peck was in court to-
day to show cause why he should not
allow an examination of circulars re-
ceived from New York city manufac-
turers, on which the commissioner
based his report of the effect of the
tariff on labor and wages. Peck's
plea was that the correspondence was
conducted by him with the employees
and employers under personal pledges
OF secrecy, without which no figures
could be obtained. The same method
prevailed in other states and the re-
turns he received were his own prop
erty and not that of the state. Hence
no call upon him for basis of his re-
ports should be honored. The case
went over until October 1. When
Peck was leaving the room he remark
ed: "Well, I'ye got first blood"

NORTH CAROLINA.

RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 27.-The cot
ton crop in North Carolina in the
eastern half of the state for the past
year was good while that of the rest
of the state was Indifferent, the state
agricultural bureau stated it's condi-
tion. at "a 1-2 This year;
crop in eastern Carolina
is poor. In central countries it is
spotted on some plantations where
rain fell and made good yield, but
the greater part is poor. In the rest
of the state it is poor for lack of rain.
The state agricultural bureau states
the condition at 67 "a, decline of
nearly II points in it's condition. Busi-
ness men do not think the decline in
condition is quite SO great, but it is
not less than five points.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. 27-In-
quiries among cotton factors by the
Associated Press representative de-
velops the fact that thefe is consider
able decline in the condition of the
crop during the past two weeks. In
consequence of decrease of acreage
and limited use of fertilizers the pros
poets have been at no time so good as
the last year, but unfavorable wealth
er of late has rendered the outlook still
more gloomy. A fair average of the
estimates of factors here now places
the probable yield at 25 per cent less
than that of last year.
GEORGIA.
AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept. 27.- Cotton
has been reduced. A conservative
estimase places the reduction at about
20 per cent In the Augusta cotton
district, 20 per cent in reduction as
compared with last crop, 40 per cent
less of fertilizers have been used than
last year. Present condition of crop
in this section is not good because of
unfavorable weather.
COLUMBUS, Ga, Sept 27.-The con-
dition of the crop in this entire section
justifies the belief that the aggregate
yield will be about one-half of that of
last year. In some sections the yield
will be greater, but this is about an
average ofthe cotton crop.
ALABAMA.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 27.-The
cotton crop in this section of Alabama
does not show SO great a falling off as
that of last year. The decrease may
go nearly as high as twenty per cent,
there being some increase in acreage.
1t is possible that some complaints of
farmers may exaggerate the damage
done but receipts so far bear out the
worst predictions.

TAYLOR, Tex, Sept. 27.-Inasmuch
as the question as to where the divis-

agitating the minds of our, people, IL
is interesting to know that Mayor A.
V. Doak is in receipt of a letter from
General Superintendent J. J. Frey
stating that he will confer with the
citizens of Taylor at an early date in
reference to the matter. Since the
Missouri Kansas and Texas has begun
the construction Of several extensions
to it's main line 1t is imperative that
divisional headquarters be established
somewhere in this section, and the
citizens of Taylor with characteristic
enterprise are endeavoring to have
the same located here.

AN ARMY OF MEN IDLE,

Shutdown Of Trnu Mills Throuehou
the Country-15, 900 Out of Work.
PITTsBURG., Pa, July 1.-When the
clocks tolled twelve strokes last night
and the first day Of July made its ap.
pearance, nearly 10000 workmen, who
had toiled almost necessarily the past
year. we're out of employment. The
scale in force during the past year ex.
PRED at midnight, and in all
mills, the proprietors of which have not
signed the scale for the ensuing year,
work ceased entirely at that time. An.
other class of workmen accepted their
release with comparative pleasure.
These were the employees Of
the various glass factories through.
out the United States. On the
last day of June of each year the
glass factories all shut down according
to custom for from four to eight weeks.

men employed in these places look for.
ward to the annual rest with great salts.
faction. The glass workers are only
idle temporarily, and resume their old
positions at che next fire. 1t has
also been the custom for several years
past for the iron and steel masters to
adopt similar policy to that of the
glass manufacturers, and heretofore
they have shut down their mills for two
weeks, beginning with the first
Monday in July. That such
custom must prevail was EN-.
bodied in rule of the Amalgamated
Association, which has now been abro.
gated, and all manufacturers can run
their mills continuously, providing the
scale has been signed by them.
The number of iron and steel mills
that closed down last night is estimated
at upwards of 400. There are 400 rolling
mills in the United States, 425 of which
have trains of rolls connected with their
establishments. Twenty-Five or fifty
of these have been idle for
some time past. Of the 400
in operation until last night nearly
800 are situated west of the Allegheny
Mountains. Quite a number of these
have signed the scale, leaving about 250
mills idle. These employ upwards of
100000 men. The number of glass fac
tories which are not in operation to-day
is placed at 200, and the men are estim-
ated at nearly $4,000.
Affairs were quiet at Homestead and
in this city to-day. The streets were
filed with idle men, but the best of
order was maintained. There were no
signatures to the scale since last night.
The conference called by the
manufacturers is in session this after
noon, and strong hopes of q compro-
mise are entertained, as it is generally
beloved that each side is willing to goa
short way in the direction of making
concessions.

ITO BE CONTINUED. |
He Got the Inform a ton,

Peter Bunda, who has been married
only two weeks, has left his wife.
Bundy is little man, and his wife
weighs two hundred and forty pounds,
and was the relict of the late Seth
Potts. About ten days after marriage
Bundy was surprised, on awakening
in the morning, to find his better
half sitting up in bed, crying as if
her heart would break. Astonished,
he asked the cause of her sorrow, but,
receiving no reply, he began to sur
mise that there must be some secret
on her mind which she withheld from
him, and which was the cause of her
anguish, SO he remarked to Mrs. B.
that as they were married she ought
to tell him the cause of her grief, SO
that, if possible, he might lessen it.
After considerable coaxing he elected
the following from her:
Last night [ dreamed I was sim
gle, and as l walked through we'll
lighted street | came to shop where
sign in front advertised husbands
for sale. Thinking it curious, [ en-
tered, and ranged along the wall on
either side were men with prices
affixed to them-such beautiful men
some for one thousand dollars, some
for five hundred dollars, and so on to
one hundred and fifty dollars. And,
as had not that amount, could not
purchase"
Thinking to console her, B. placed
his arm lovingly around her, and
asked:
"And did you see any men like me
there?"
ooh, yes" she replied, "lots like
you; they were tied up like asparagus,
and sold for ten cents per bunch"
Bundy got up, and went to ask his
lawyer if he had sufficient ground for
q divorce
