The POpufist Convention.

A small band of Populists Ell.
acted the farce OF holding a State
convention in Alexandria on the
4th inst. Only seventeen parishes
were represented, with about fifty
delegates in attendance, evidently
showing that the rank and file OF
the party are no longer taking any
interest in the political issues with
which they are confronted.
AS usual, Hardy Brian "bossed
the machine" But he was ably
assisted this time by Gunby, Be.
mott and Tets. Under such lead.
ersbip it would be only a work of
supererogation to say that the
miniature convention endorsed the
St. Louis platform and nominees,
selected a straightout popnlist
electoral ticket and passed resOlu-
tons severely condemnisig both of
the old parties for their many al
legcd sins of omission and com.
mission.
The following is the electoral
ticket as chosen, but we lazarl
nothing in the prediction that
when the committee to create and
fill vacancies, finish their manipu.
lations, it will be found to he OF
an altogether different complex
ion, scarcely recognizable by the
authority which created it:

Advance in Cotton.

There has been quite a furry in
the cotton market recently, amount
ing to an advance of $3.50 per
bale within the past three weeks,
on account of the reduced estimate
based upon the existing tlrouth aud
other disadvantageous conditions.
The season is unusually early
on account of dry weather and nn-
less it shonld go TO the other ex.
treme, the crop will be harvested
aud marketed by. the end of Octo.
Der. AS general thing, the pric-
es Of the early season are never
maintained, by reason of the rush
to market to take advantage OF
them. Advices from all sections
of the cotton producing area con.
cur in the conclusion that the
yield has been reduced more than
fifty per cent. If this opinion is
correct and no evidence has been
produced thus far to refute it, the
crop will be considerably less tlau
that of last year.
Hence, We have an abiding hope
that the shortness of the crop will
he counterbalanced by increased
prices and that the s'horny handed

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ADAMS

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ADAMS
The death Of Capt. Thomas Scott
Adams, at the age of IS, which
occurred at lis home, near Gin
ton, La., last Friday morning, will
be universally deplored by the
people of Louisiana, irrespective
If political affiliations. He had
held several offices Of honor, trust
and profit, the duties of all OF
which had been discharged to the
satisfaction Of the people, by whom
he was greatly esteemed aud res
pec:ed. His last official position
was that of Secretary of State,
which he relinquished to his sue
cessor only a short time ago. His
remains were inferred with Ma
sonic honors, having been mem.
Der Of that Order for many years.
In his death, the State loses a
good citizen aud the Democratic
party a consistent and efficient
