THE COTTON CROP.
Estimated at Nine and Three-0uarter
Millit ms Bales.

Millit ms Bales.
New Orleans, Aug. II. - H. NJ.
Neill, the well-known cotton statisti-
clan, has issued circular on the
growing crop. After referring to the
correctness of his estimate made in
July, 1894, of the crop of that season,
Mr.. Neill says:
''At this moment for this year the
promise is equal to any previous year
in every state but Texas, and even al
lowing that Texas should fall short of
her maximum product by 1000, 900
bales, the outlook now is for crop of
at least $3.50, 900, with $780, 900 to
1000, 900 more within the range of
possibility. This figure of 9, $50. 600 is
very conservative. If there are good
rains in Texas, her crop will also be
near perfection, and the possibilities
for the total crop would then be some
thing enormous

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE NAMED.
Delegates Then Listen In AIasse to Bryan
TOwne and Others.

OSAeSates Aheh A1sten In A1a&Se to Bryan,
TOwne and Others.
The Silver Republican convention ex-
hibited very little spirit in exhausting
lung power and there were many empty
STATS throughout the hall. Temporary
Chairman F. F. LOOMS made a short
speech urging the party forces to keep
together and join hands in cooperating
with the other two parties in the cen
vention. The three conventions then
appointed their committees and took a
recess until 1880 ,. m. At o'clock the
delegates gathered in the state house
grounds and listened to number of ad-
dresses by W. ]. Bryan, ex-Representa-
tive Charles A. Towne, General Weaver
and others.
Bryan said. in substance: THE Dem
ocrats, Popuiists and silver Republicans
were led to cooperate last year because
they agreed in opinion upon the sub
ject of bimetallism. and also agreed
in the belief that the money question
was the paramount issue before the
people. If bimetallisin was right then
it is right now. If it was the para
mount issue then it is the paramount
issue now. If cooperation was wise
can act together without injury to their
party organizations. without sacrifices
of principle. and without harm to each
other.
The money question must be settled
before other questions can be seriously
considered. To fight each other in the
presence Of q united and unscrupuIous
enemy would not only postpone the re-
storation of biInetallisTl. but endancer
the success OF every other necessary re-
form. Continued cooperation between
the forces which acted together last
year does not mean that any one of the
parties will swallow up the other two:
il simply means that they will travel
together while they can and separate
only when they must. 1t means that
they will place the success OF a great
cause above the temporary triumph OF
any party, and leave the future to de-
ternins which organization is most
worthy Of public support. In this grea.
contest men are only valuable as they
contribute 70 the success OF the cause
