COTTON.
NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. 14.-The cotton mar
ket advanced at the outset on better
class of cables: later were less satisfac-
tory and decline set in. There was no
outside support and the German contin-
gent took advantage of the situation to
pound the market. Several points i'll the
South not heretofore heard from added
to the testimony of large purchase
of mules, and an increase of fertilizers is
predicted This made the local bulls eX-
tremely cautious and disposed to await
further developments as to the acreage
to be devoted to cotton. AS far as indi-
cations may be said to point to anything
at this early stage they point largely to
preparations for a new crop on large
scale The market closed steady on a

THE GOLD MEN THINK THEY HAVE
CLEVELAND'S SUPPORT.

Mr.. Bynum Is Pleased Because Two
of the OmclaI Family VIII De at
the indianapolis COnventiOn-Mr.
Cleveland said to he I'm sympathy
with Their PlatfOrm-Bnnds OF
Gold Men Organizing I'm Various
Places.
Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 2l.-NIuch salts
faction was expressed at the national dem
Ocratic party headquarters to-day over the
fact that the Cleveland cabinet viii be rep
resented at the indianapolis convention.
Controller Eckels has secured quarters
at the Bates house. 1t is thought that Sec
retary of Agriculture Morton will attend
the convention. He is the only member OF
the cabinet who is expected. a letter from
Secretary of the Navy Herbert, plainly
indicates that he Is with the sound money
movement, that he will not be able to at
tend the convention owing to his absence
in Europe. There is no longer any doubt
that Postmaster General Wilson Is also IN
favor of the movement. The position which
his son has taken Is said to be a sure sign
of the fathers inclination. The son is out
and out for a third ticket
The coming of Mr. Eckels and Secretary
Morton is thought 10 be propitious sign
that the PRESIDENTS sympathles are with
the national democracy in the preparation
of the platform.
Mr. Bynum wrote to a number of au-
thorities on the financial question, among
them being Prof. Edward Atkinson or
Boston, who has sent back these fiatter-
ing words: My Dear Sir-I cannot con-
ceive OF your needing any other head than
that from which emanated the admirable
declaration on which the national dem.
ocratic party is to be called together, but
/ am very glad TO contribute my mite,
hoping that In the brief enclosed you may
find something OF value"
Chairman Bynum went to Peoria, ILL.,,
to-day to deliver an address this after
noon.

one Of the largest political gatherings ever
held in this city, and the utmost en-
thusiasm prevailed throughout the delib-

ments yet heard here in advocacy of god
as a basis of the country's financial sys.

for an hour and half
AT the conclusion OF the speech resoiu-
tions were adopted condemning the ac-
tion of the late Chicago convention on
the money question and approving the ac-
tion of leading democrats in calling an
other convention to place another ticket
in the field, declaring that the successful
Chicago nominee sounded the death-knell
of the democratic party, denouncing the
refusal to commend the administration of
President Cleveland and the attack on
civil service and the federal judiciary, and
declaring for a sound and stable cur
rency.
Delegates were chosen to attend the

POLITICAL POWER OF THE PRESS.
senator Bacon on the Distribution

senator Bacon on the Distribution
of Campaign Literature.
Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Bacon,
who has been out on the Pacific coast
and in other parts of the west, called at
democratic headquarters this morning,
inst prior to taking the train for his home
in Georgia. He says that the silver SEN
tinent throughout that section of the
country is very strong, and that he can
discover no indication of the tide reced-
ing.
NAV he accomplished by the use Of money
bv the republican committee. l do not
mean the use of money in buying votes,
for 7 do not think they can do much in
that way; 1 don't think many votes can
be bought, but the abundance Of money
at their disposal enables the republicans
to make a much more general distribu>
tion of literature than we can afford, and
they may accomplish a good deal in this
way.
"A great many people who are on the
silver side are not very well informed
They are silver men by instinct, but are
not always able to put up an argument
in support of their facts, and there are
many. too, who are subject to CONVERSE
tion one way or the other. I
noticed everywhere I went that
the question was being earnestly
discussed at railroad stations and hotels,
and every where, 1 saw clumps of men
arguing over the silver question, now,
sometimes, a pretty good silver man will
undertake to argue his cause when, by
reason of not being supplied with litera-
ture, he is not able to sustain the discus
sion as well as some fellow on the other
side. who has been supplied with argu-
ments by the newspapers and by the lit
erature from the republican committee
The fellow best supplied with information
NAV get the better Of the argument on
account Of the lack of information on the
parties adversary, and this has an effect,
of course, on the crowd of listeners.
1T is very apparent to me that the re-
publicans show a great advantage in their
abundant campaign fund even if applied
to nothing more than the distribution Of
literature"

press ON Sunday.
Raleigh N. c.. Aug Civ. II. Deaver.
Of Ashevllle. brings suit against the South
ern railway to test the legality of haul
ing express on Sundays in North Caro-
lima.
The suit is based upon section Of the
code which provides that no railway COM
pany shall permit any cars to be run on
Sunday, save such as are to transport
United States mails either with or with
out passengers, and such as are exclu-
sively for passengers, and those exclusive
ly for live stock, fruits. vegetables and

The penalty is $500 for each train in each
county throughout which the railway runs.
It is said that under literal construction
OF the act dead bodies cannot be shipped

We whipped England in 1776; we whipped
her in 1872, and we can whip her to-day
with one hand tied. Think whether you
will again have Pierpont Morgan and his

congress, of whether you will free US and
restore our majesty as free men. Tell
your party to go to the devil unless 1t Is

and proposed a vote of thanks to 4fr. Till
