the most part, however the decline in
condition through the cotton belt is due
to the continual rains that began about
the middle of August and extended into
September. There is much shedding, rot.
rust, etc, reported as a consequence.

Gus Campaign on the Stump.
New York, Oct. 1O.-In regard to the
third state ticket put up by the Shepard
democracy, John Boyd Thatcher, at the
democratic state headquarters today.
made this official statement: I'VE have to
deal with all sorts of men, with all sorts
of societies and with ali sorts of theories
in a political campaign.
1T is healthy, and not unhealthy, sign
to see activity and earnestness every
where in the party.
Differences of opinion are natural
both with regard to candidates and issues.
Il think, however, as the days go on,
that these gentlemen who oppose Mr. Hill
because he is Mr. HILL Will support him
because he is the leader of the ticket
chosen by the representatives of the
party.
This is a life and death struggle for
the Democratic party. If we lose this
election we cannot hope to succeed in
carrying the legislature for twenty years
to come.
IL NAACiO - lO IlOpt VI carrying l1e leg
fslature the party organization will go to
pieces. Mr.. Hill is, at best, only passing
figure in politics, like every other public
man. The party goes on forever. Candi-
dates come and go; the party is greater
than the man. Besides, opposition to Mr.
Hill now is like dissatisfaction on the part
of few soldiers on the field of battle to
their general. They may not have wanted
him as a leader, but the fact remains
that he is the regularly appointed leader
and the army he is leading is facing the
enemy in a deadly struggle
II have high regard for Mr.. Wheeler
and his friends, but l have a higher re-
gard for loyal democrats who would
rather injure the common enemy than
help destroy their own party
THE next two weeks will soften the
feeling Of opposition and bring better
feeling
