this their opinion is of set by the
opinions OF others who contend
that the Republicans would be per-
fecUly willing to fusion with the
Populist to get the Democrats out
of power. 1t is generally conceed-
ed that the Republicans have
ever helped the Populist with
an single to their own
interests. The Republicans
know full we'll that the Populist
party is entirely too cratic in it's
views to last more than a few
years. Realizing this fact they are
perfectly willing to give them the
reigns for brief space in that they
may profit in the end. Consider
ing these facts the conserva-
tive are fearful OF a constitu-
tional convention. They realize
that Texas has the worst
constitution Of and state in
the Union and a new one Is sad
ly needed, but they are so fearful
of the fact that any attempt to Sc
cure one will result in the Popullst
framing it that they are willing to
peg along at the same old six and
seven-gait and hold their own

Bradstreets Financial Rev q to-
morrow will say;
A comparison OF the volume OF tr.
actions during the week with the rec
ord OF fortnight ago shows very
clearly that the character of specula-
ton has changed for the time being.
While the street itself has not taken
the stories of extreme danger 10 the
Western crops seriously, the growth
of public interest in the market has
been checked. London, too, has shown
continued distrust of Americans, not
only on reports of a deficient crop,
but on the tangible. II unfounded,
fears about the silver agitation and
the possibility that support may be
Withdrawn from the general market
by the bond syndicate when its con-
tract with the treasury expires. Liquid
alton of speculative holdings for Lon
don account has indeed practically
ceased. Nevertheless, there was very
little buying from that quarter that
tended to give the local professionals
more command over the depressions;
the declines were, except in few In
stances, unimportant. Slight declines
brought in a moderate amount of buy
ing orders, and though a somewhat
marked decline set in on Tuesday the
covering OF shorts and renewed life of
strength which appeared on Wednes-
day in anticipation of the succeeding
holiday, gave token of the real senti-
ments. which has underlaid specula-
ton.
The principal feature continues to be
the Indifference of the street toward
the stories in regard to crop conditions
at the West. Railroad interests are
evidently satisfied with the outlook
for grain tonnage and the inside sup
| port given to the granger shares was
| of a noteworthy character.
