| Overflow In Battery ID.


Chicago. Sept 4.-Rnurke Cochran.
of New York, spoke at the Auditorium
Saturday night under the auspices of
the Honest Money League. The seat
ing capacity of the hall is 5.500, and
over 10000 tickets of admission had
been applied for. AS it was out Of
the question for all these people to
hear Cochran an overflow meeting was
arranged at Battery u, and this place
was jamned to the doors. Cochran
was not expected to be able to reach
the battery until late in the evening
owing TO the length of his Auditorium
address. and local speakers enter
tanned the crowd pending his arrival
No man who ever spoke in the Audi
torium had a larger audience than
Cochran. All the seats were taken full
ly thirty minutes before the time set

In the aisles men sat upon the floor. and
i every available foot OF standing room
was preempted.
William i. Vincent, Of the league was
chairman Of the meeting. and made a
brief Introductory address, which was
well received. but which faded in COM
parison with the warm welcome ex-
tended to the ora tor of the evening. Cock
rams address was received with great
enthusiasm. In the early part of his
speech he referred to the question
asked of Bynum as to what way the
free coinage of silver would help the
working man, and the most of his
Speech thereafter was devoted to an
argument against that policy similar
to the one he made in his speech al
New York.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin is
sued by the Missouri Section, Cli
mate and Crop Service, Weather
Bureau, for the week ending June
18th, says:
In most counties of the state
the weather during the past week
was very favorable to the farmer.
The temperature averaged IA little
above the normal except in
the extreme southeast where it
was slightly below, and there was
good percentage of sunshine. In
number of the eastern counties
the rainfall for the week was from
| tO2 inches and in Il fey localities
it exceed ed 2 inches, but over the
greater portion OF the state there
was less than half an inch. In
many of the southern and western
counties rain would not be benefi-
cial to corn, pastures and gardens,
and in some districts it is needed
badly.
In few of the eastern
counties the ground has con-
tinued too wet for cultivation and
corn is still in the weeds, and else
where the crop has been cleaned
out and is generally in good
condition and growing finely.
Considerably early corn has been
laid by, and in the southern
counties it is silking and tasseling.
Planting and replanting is not yet
finished in some sections. Chinch
bugs are reported doing some
damage to corn in few counties.
Cotton is reported in bad condi-
tion in Stoddard and Pemiscot
counties owing to continued wet
weather, but in Dunklin and New
Madrid counties it looks well and
is blooming.
Wheat harvest is now in pro-
gress in the northern counties but
is about completed in the central
and southern, and stacking and
and thrashing have commenced. A
large per cent of the crop is very
poor. Oats are rusting badly in
places. but as a rule continue to
do well. They are ripening and
harvest has commenced in the
southern counties Haying has
commenced and the crop is gener-
all good. Gardens and potatoes
are doing well in most counties.
Early apples and peaches are on
the market and blackberries are
ripening.

WARMERS PERFIDY.

WARMERS PERFIDY.
When 10 N L. Bittipger declared
that the Missouri delegates at
large to the st. Louis convention,
were not bound by the instructions
of the st. Joseph convention, the
declaration was looked upon as
the mad vaporing of one who is
only a citizen by the grace of the
pardoning power, which permitted
him to get out of the penitentiary
in time to save his citizenship.
But no Republican thought for
moment that Maj. Warner would
fall in with the reckless sentiment
expressed by penitertiary con-
vict, and disregard the wishes
and instructions of his party. But
the lamentable fact is that he
seems to have done that very
thing, and by so doing has not
only forfeited the respect of the
old soldiers who have always
stood by him, but the entire party
of the State. When Warner ap-
peared on the platform before the
st. Joseph convention and asked
the privilege of seconding, as he
said, "the nomination of that
''old war horse" Chauncey 1.
Filley, it was regarded by many
as a hypocritical bid for Filley
vctes, an II the outcome has sus-
tanned their Judgment in the mat
ter. 1t was grand stage play of
Warner to cover up the treachery
that was ranking in his bosom.
When that old hero of Shiloh,
Gen. B. M. Prentiss, stood upon
the backs of the chairs and elo-
quently pleaded for Warner in
that convention because he had
been comrade, little did he think
that the first act of the soldier he
was pleading for would be to vio-
late the wishes of his party, and
run to cover under ,cret ballot,
that his pertidy might not become
known to his people. 1t was the
act of IA moral coward and traitor.
and the Republican party will hold
him to strict account for his
treachery, and the strictest ac
counting will have to be made to
the old soldiers whom,he has dis
graced and humiliated.
There are others who disobeyed
their instructions, but they are
merely political stuntlings, who
were never heard of outside their
own counties, and will never be
heard of again. They belong to
that class of men who are always
for sale, and because of their ex-
treme cheapness, are seldom with
out buyer. But Warner was
looked upon as man of honor,
leader and one who, if he could not
obey Instructions would resign
rather than bring ignominy upon
himself and humiliation upon his
friends.
The attempt to make capital out
of Webster Davis speech at st.
Joseph has reacted, and those who
were first inclined to criticise him
for his utteranceS on that occasion,
are now praising him, for they
feel that he knew more of Warmers
true character than had ever been
exhibited in his grand stage plays
before the public.
Warner is politically dead,
dead and buried, and over his
grave is written che epitaph,
"Here lies political Uriah Heap
