INDIAN COTTON CROP.

The drought that the Indian people
have experienced has had a disastrous
effect not only upon their wheat, but
upon their corn crop Just how far it
will reduce the normal output of Indian
cotton and the expectation of this it is
not now possible to say. 1t has been Gus
tomary for those engaged in the cotton
business in India to export about mill
lion bales of cotton, about one-fourth of
this amount going to Hamburg. If, as
now seems not unlikely, the cotton crop
is reduced in amount by 100000 or 600,-
600 bales, the sales of India cotton may
be reduced by that amount, this leading
to an increased demand with
better prices, for American cot
ton. 1t is fortunate that at
this particular time we are likely to
find so good a market on the other side of
the Atlantic for some of our more impor-
tant agricultural products Boston

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The latest returns from the counties
show that the Populists can organize
the Senate with the help of only one
Republican or Democrat, and that the
Republicans are short ten of a majority
in the House. The Legislature will
stand:
Senate opulists n; Republicans, II;
Democrats, 8.
House Republicans, 81; Populists, 81;
Democrats. "a; one member jackson
county, tied.
The Republicans will aek eighteen votes
to elect a United States Senator, and
the Populists will lack %. The Popu-
lists have it in their power to elect one
Of their member or some other advocate
of the free coinage of silver if they de-
sire to do so.
Senator Pritchard's term will come to
a close on the fourth of next March an
less the Populist members prefer to send
an advocate of the gold standard to
Washington than a free silver man. They
have the matter in their own hands.
The Democrats have lost at least
twenty-five seats by majorities of less
than fifty, and fifteen more by majorities
of less than one hundred. They lose

COL. JOHN S. CUNNINGHAM.


West River, Md, Nov (Special)-
We rejoice to see that in the prevailing
Republican victories, some good Demo
Gratis have been elected, among them
we note especially the election of Col.
John S. Cunningham to the Legislature
of North Carolina. Urged to run for
Congress, he declined, and was only pre-
vailed on to be candidate for the Legis-
lature for the good of his party. Col
Cunningham will be most useful rep
resentative. Though a young man, he
has had a long experience in business,
and possesses the confidence of all who
know him on account of his integrity,
ability and wisdom. He will be for the
best interests of his people and State,
and will be a strong power for good, we
believe.

THE BANNER COUNTY.

We published few days ago a tel

ing the vote of glorious old Rowan in
this election, and claiming that because
of its great gain, Rowan was entitled to
the banner given by Vance in 1876 to
that county giving the largest Demo
cratic majority. We publish to-day a
claim from Union county, made by Mr..
e. e. Britain, that his county is en-
titled to the banner because of the large
majority given TO Bryan in the recent
election.
1t would not be proper to award this
banner solely on the basis of the vote
for Mr.. Bryan, for he was voted for by
both Populists and Democrats, and his
vote would not be, strictly speaking, the
measure of the Democratic vote in any

NOW TO MORE BUSINESS AND
LESS POLITICS.

We have received communications
from three friends reviewing the recent
campaign, giving their views of the
blundors made, and criticizing certain
men, measures and methods. On of our
friends wants to reorganize the party on
the Cleveland basis; another wants to
reorganize it by driving out all those who
oppose free coinage; and the other wants
a close and permanent union with the
Populists.
We have decided at this time to return
all three communications with the sug-
gestion that it is not wise at this time to
open our columns to such discussions. For
six months our columns have been full
of politics, and political discussion. We
shall continue to print current political
news just as we shall print other timely
topics, but we think it best not to follow
the campaign with further discussion that
at this time would serve no other purpose
than to keep alive friction
Let us all turn our attention for u
time to business without sacrificing poll
teal convictions We are told that we
are on the eve Of tide of unprecedented
prosperity. Let us get ready for it, help
it on, rejoice when every new spindle
turns and be glad at every evidence that
trade and industry are reviving.
