MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

feeling which took possession of our market
yesterday increased today. Liverpool is
heavily short in this market and her pur-
chases to cover formed the root OF the inn
provement. New Orleans also bought anu
the leading German bears continued to be
largo and open buyers.
January opened at 1856 advanced to sos,
but reacted in the last hour on sales to real
lie profits closing at cents and sol, with
the tone steady The receipts were still very
heavy, but they had not much effect. The
general feeling seems to be that whoever
judges the yield by the volume of the move
ment from day to to day will make a seri-
Gus mistake, and that though there may be
in the immediate future further spells of de-
l)ression cotton is a pretty safe purchase at
s cents fer January

To the State Herald.

Snow Hill, Ala, Oct. 12.-The above
special, which appeared In the Daily Adj
vertiser of the 9th. is a fabrication, wool
and filling. There were present about $50
voters; Of this number there were about
twenty-five who denominate themselves
goldbugs, Hannacrats, foundlings, or
something. There were only four of this
number who made any demonstration by
even applauding their speaker
Toward the close of Mr. Clark's speech,
when he made point, not a voice was
raised, except the bray of the offspring of
a jackass bemoaning the fate that ulti-
matey awaits Clark and his followers
Who 1t was that sent the special to the
Advertiser, 1 am unable to learn; but
there are some who are of the opinion
that Clark himself wired this special, or
was Instrumental in it. The voters of
Wilcox county are loyal to their nominees
and their votes in November will be
polled in accordance.

The BulIetin's correspondent at
Pima, il indeed it has a correspon-

he says the majority of the
people of that thriving little
city are in favor of leaving the
county seat whore it is. The peo-
pie there are too progressive for
that. We are aware that there are
very few who would like to
move it to Pima, hence this letter,

EDITOR GUARDIAN:-We are now
about to launch into another poll
itical campaign, and / thought 8
few words from me, through your
valuable paper, would not be
amiss. We have heretofore made
a choice Of our delegates to the
county convention, of men who
would cast their vote at that con-
vention for certain men for sheriff,
| ignoring all other offices. / can
see no other reason for this than
the morey that is to be made out
of that particular office. l think
that right there is where we miss
it, for we have had enough of men
who merely want the Office for
what money is to be made out OF
it.
l believe the time has now ar.
rived when the people should as,
sert their rights and hunt men
whom they wish to fill all of the
Offices and do away with the men
hunting the office. / think it will
pay all of us to put on our think
ing caps and hunt such men this
convention, in whom we have con-
fidence, men whom will do theii
whole duty by the people, mer
who have the good of the masses
at heart and will not accept O.
bribes or promise of special favors
We want for supervisors mer
who can supervise their own affairs
before they try to supervise for ;
county. We want a sheriff who
will use every means in his power
to curtail expenses IN his office
consistent with his duties. w,
want men for the counsel and leg
islature who will make laws to re
lieve and benefit the laboring poor
and not make laws for lawyers tC
have to interpret at a great cost tC
the county through our courts
And we want men for all our of
ficies who will not fee our saloons
to buy votes of our young and in
experienced voters and those who
have nothing at stake.
/ think that mothers should un
derstand the political question SC
that they may use their influence
with their boys who have just AZ
rived at voting age. If the voters
and taxpayers of Graham county
would only unite for the good Of
all we can accomplish all we de-
sire and let us, as true Democrats
make this campaign in the interest
of the taxpayers and let it be as We
brag Oh sometimes, government
of the people, for the people and

Labor Day Proclamation.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA !
EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

EAECuTlNE OFFlCE.
By national authority the first
Monday in September, the seventh
day of the month, is designated as
legal holiday, to be known and
celebrated as Labor Day.
This is but just and proper
recognition of the great agency
that has caused our country to
stand first among the nations OF
the world. Every ship that rides
upon the sea, all of the great
ornaments of our sea coast, all Of
the grand highways of commerce
that traverse our country, all the
cities, all of our splendid agricul-
tural development, are monuments
of labor. In no country of the
world labor has been more fully
recognized and honored than in
ours. Among its other grand ac-
Movements it has been the mission
of our country to ennoble and dig
Nifty labor, and no people of our
republic more fully sympathize
with the hopes and aspirations of
workingmen than the people of
our territory.
Now therefore, /, Benjamin j.
Franklin, Governor of the Ter
litory of Arizona, by virtue of the
power and authority in me vested,
do hereby proclaim Monday, the
seventh day of September, A. D,
1896, holiday, and do hereby
recommend and request that all
places of business and public of
fees be closed on that day, and
that the people Of our territory
join in a univesal observance
thereof.
In witness whereof, l have hereun-
to set my hand and caus-
ed the great seal Of this
[sEAL] Territory to be hereunto
affixed, this nineteenth day
of August, A. D. 1896.
Done at Phoenix, the Capitol,

ANOTHER campaign lie was nail
ed by Bryan yesterday in his great
speech. A fake cablegram from
London pretends that India is pre-
pairing to assist the Democratic
party in the election of Bryan, in
the hope Of dumping vessel loads
of SILVER into our mlnts. There
are many reasons why this will
not be done. India has S950,OO0,-
900 in money, all silver, coined at
Is to l, so that eight cents would
be lost on each dollar recoined.
The population of India is about
800 100000, making but So per
capita, not enough for their own
business, and they mine no silver.
The entire British empire does not
mine a half million dollars in sill
yer a year. India is sink for
silver, a constant purchaser and
will be for all time to come. But
suppose each and every citizen OF
India did bring his So in silver to
the United States, have it coined
into American money, what would
they do with it? They would not
give it to us. They would, how
ever, buy products with it, and we
in turn would buy something they
produce, making commerce. Ii
India wants to give us her silver
for Gods sake let us take it and
thank the poor heather for their
generosity. AS the world needs
our silver and we can dispose of it
in England, Europe or China, thus
making our money all equal l6 to

THE editor of the Bulletin, has
changed his tune on the removal
of the county seat. Not many
months ago he said on more than
one occasion in Stafford that he
knew it would only be matter OF
time until the court house would
come here, and all he would have
10 do would be to "pull up stakes
and come with 1t. Evidently he Is
in favor of removing it when he is
canvassing for his paper in Stafford
or the towns down the valley.
