Cooler Weather Raises Hope, but Other
Conditions Do Not Stimulate.
NEW YORK, Aug 15.-R. u. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: An
extraordinary spell of deadly hot weather
has affected trade throughout the country
and i'll the east speculative feeling was
somewhat affected until Thursday by ap-
prehension of the possible influence of the
Bryan meeting. With cooler weather
there came also on Thursday perception
that the meeting would not affect business
unfayorably. But other conditions were
not stimulating. According to govern
mcnt reports the crops have sustained
serious injuries.
Labor difficulties extend and the closing
OF establishments for want of work and
and the refusal of commercial loans bv
banks checked operations in many
branches of industry and trade. The week
therefore closes, as the last week did with
domestic business unusually dull for the
season. Measured by Clearing House ex-
changesit was per cent. smaller than last
year and l55 per cent. smaller than in the
same week Of 1892, the last year of full
business at this season.
The government crop report for August
would have followed if it had been en-
tirely credited. In fact wheat rose about
&c, but again declined, closing only a
fraction higher for the week Corn de-
clined throughout the week, closing over
/ cent lower

tirely to the discussion OF the money
question. He declared that the
question Of nuctuation relative to
the value Of gold and silver had oc-
cupied the attention Of American
statesmen for over one hundred
years without solution; that We
are unsble TO prevent II. He then
took up in detail the various coinsge
acts of the United States. and de-
clared that from the time Jefferson
became president to the close Of
BuchanaR's administration, the dem
ocratic party had as gold
party been opposed to silver and
all forms OF paper money. He then
discussed tho financial legislation of
the republican party, setting forth
the necessity Of conducting the gov

the civil war. but that as soon as
possible after its close legislation
intended to bring transactions back

THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED.

The constant nagging of The Ga zette at the city council has become nauseating, especially when there seems no reason for The Gazette ti- rade.
 The question of telephones for the members of the council seems to be the latest excuse for an outbreak, and very poor excuse it is, too. It is the public and not the members of the council that the telephones benefit. There is hardly a day that citizens do not wish to confer with members of the council and council committees as to various matters affecting the vel fare of the city. And it is these citi- zens that the telephones benefit, not the members of the council. Tele- phones in this age are as much of a necessity for properly and speedily conducting the public business as is the council chamber itself, or the fixtures, furniture and record books,
 If The Gazette really wants to criti- else the council let it do it on broad grounds, such as failure to take in the additions and inaugurate paving and other public improvements; but trif1ing matters like telephones would not be a sufficient excuse even if they were for the personal use of the members of the council instead of for the benefit of the public.

to whom he must look for help in his efforts
MORTON'S CANDIDACY.
efforts.

Of Governor Morton as a candidate for the presidency it must be said that he is the choice of New York state, without a dissenting voice among the Republicans, and that New Works vote in presidential contest has often been sufficient to turn the scales. Both the Republican state convention and the press of New York have come out with surprising unanimity and enthu- siasm for Morton's nomination.
 His service in congress has been such as to command the respect of the whole Republican party. His diplomatic ability was tried and made manifest in his important work as minister to France No viceIpresident ever pre- sided over the senate with more dig nity or ability. JAS governor of New York he has been eminently success ful and has won unparalleled influence for his party. His great business ca pacity, his skill as financier, his well balanced conservatism and his spot less integrity are all of National repu- tation. The objection on the score of age does not weigh heavily. He is not yet seventy-two, and statesmen like Gladstone and Bismarck have done their best and strongest work af- ter that age.
 There can be no question of Governor Morton's fitness for the office. In case of the probable nomination of Mr. Whitney as the Democratic candidate, his nomination would be strong one The magnificent majority of 156,OOO by which Morton carried New York last year shows the prestige of his name and if Whitney is nominated, the man who would most surely carry New York against him is Morton. If in the development of events it should turn out that the Republican convention will nominate Morton, the party would have strong candidate, and when elected, he would prove a wise and safe president.
