F. G, McPeak & Co.. in their review
of the cotton market, say;
Liverpool opened quiet at AGA de-
cline for contracts and lie in spots,
with 1900 sales, This had a very dis
eouraging influence on holders and re-
suited In 6 points decline at our
opening. But owing 10 the cool wave
which Is now passing over the cotton
belt, there was good buying for both
accounts and on receipt OF our weather
condition In Liverpool that market be-
came quite strong and closed firm,
Win a gain Of 1854 OF its early loss.
Ihis encouraged heavy buyers ON this
slde, and after the first hour the mar
ket scored an advance OF 10 points
from the opening. About this time 1t
was estimated that port receipts would
reach $4,000, as against 52,4S0. ana the
market reacted TO within points OF
the opening, followed by another ad-
vance OK points on report that
iirost was predicted for tonight In
Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. This
influence was met. however, with an
estimated receipt for New Orleans to-
morrow Of about 10000 bales, and re-
suited in another reaction of points,
around which the market closed. being
quiet and steady at points below
that Of last night. Sales. III 600. Spots
were steady and unchanged at 8 Lie,
with sales OF 1853 bales.
II Is likely that the market will
open higher In the morning on poss-
BILE frost reports from some sections.
but We doubt IL the advance will hold,
as receipts viii likely be very large and
will offset any frost scare just now.
We are not likely TO have frost
that will he sufficient to damage cot
ton for several days yet. Light frost
would only be beneficial In maturing

THE CONVENTION.

The late republican state convention
which completed it's business on Thurs
dty of last week at Yankton, was the
largest and mos, intelligent body of men
that have ever been assemb' ed in South
Dakota for similar purpose, which Of
itself is significant Of the high status
and advancing prestige Of the party
throughout the state. While il may not
be saii that il was a we'll defined love
feast, and that harmony reigned undis-
turbed through every stage of its delib-
erdtions, it was probably marked with
as little bitterness, and as great degree
of harmony as usually prevails upon
occasions Of this character, and at least
left no serious party sores TO be healed
hereafter, or aggravated as the case
might be. The defeat Of Capt. Lucas.
whiie it must necessarily be deeply re-
gretted by his numerous friends in the
state, is especia ly unfortunate for the
Black Hills inasmuch as its chief indus
try is thus debarred from resident rep
resentation in congress. This cannot
be otherwise regarded than a mistake
on the part of the delegation represent
ing the most populous and important
county in the Hills, in the matter of
over ardor in pressing the claims of one
of their citizens for state nomination,
and thereby de epriving the Hills of such
representation. which all must admit to
be of the highest and most vital import.
This will however be regarded as mis-
take, to be regretted it is true, but not to
be made the subject for future contro-
versy. 1t is done and cannot be un-
done. Capt. Lucas has accepted his
defeat with becoming grace, and will
work faithfully for his sure successor,
and the entire ticket, and SO will the
republicans Of Custer, the banner re.
publican county Of the Hills, as we'll as
the republicans of every county in the
Hills and the state. There are no dis
sensions in the party to detract from
the large majority now assured, and the
way is fairly open to one of the most
pronounced victories at the polls that
has ever been achieyed in the history oi
| the state.
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1894-09-01

The Spearfish Daily Bulletin has sue
cumbed to the exigencies of the situa-
ton, and passed into the realms Of
memory. The Bulletin was worthy of
measure of support which would war
rant a prosperous existence if fairly ap-
preciated. and its demise cannot reason
ably be considered otherwise than sad
commentary upon the manifest lack Of
enterprise displayed by the citizens of
the Queen city in Withholding their
support. and thus depriving their town
of the most potent and fruitful source of
material advancement it has ever pos.
sessed. The Bulletin has been publish
ed. as a number Of other Hills papers
are to-day, at a margin of profit scarcely
sufficinet to cover the cost of subsist
ence. aud like its contemporaries, It
kept mp the struggle. laboring assiduous
ly for the public veal with commend
able energy and persistence. hoping
against hope for that fuller measure of
appreciation which thus far has signally
failed to materialize. 1t is q matter for
devout hope that sometime in the not
distant hence. there may be a revolution
in public sentiment in this direction. to
the end that at least one live, enterpris-
ing wide awake daily newspaper may
be accorded fair support in all towns
Of the Hills having population as large
as that Of Spearfsh.

The platform adopted by the late re-
publican convention at Yankton appears
in full on the second page of this issue,
and should be given a careful perusal
by our readers. 1t is clear and candid
expression of the principles espoused
by the party, outspoken in its utterances
and notably free from complex and
ambiguous phraseology. 1t is clear cut,
sound and sincere, means every word it
says. and it's endorsement, We do not
hesitate to assert, will be in strict har
mony with the highest and best inter
ests Of the state.

The tariff bill became a law on the
2sth nit. without the signature Of the
president, who, while he could not get
the consent of his troubled mind to sign
a bill 50 full Of errors and inconsistent
cies. could not bring himself to the
point Of ve:oing it. In letter to repre-
sentative Catchings of Mississippi, he
expresses his disappointment at the
result of the effort made in the direction
OF tariff reform, but is not wholly devoid
of hope for the future, as he feels con-
fident that the bill in it's present form
will be the basis for continued warfare,
