ELECTION, MONDAY, NOV. E
For Representative to Congress,
AMOS L. ALLEN.

Ladysm i.h seems to be thoroughly sur
rounded and invested by the Beers, but
their abb ity to capture il before the
arrival of some of General Buffers
troops who are ON the way to its
relief, Is very doubtful. The Beer artil-
Isry fire against the place has so far not
been very effective. and an attempt to
take It by assault will be very hazardous,
and even II successful, it Is doubtful II
1t would rerompense the Beers for tn
heavy losses Trey would sustain, since
their losses cannot be made good. OF
course the taking Of Ladysmith aud the
capture OF the British army would
constitute spendid triumph. but It's
effect would only be temporary and the
heavy Losses incident to it would weak
on their ability to resist General Butler
when he arrives with his army and tries
to invade the country.

TODAY's ELECTION.

1t ought not to be necessary to impress
upon Republicans the Importance OF CO.
ing to the polls today and throwing their
votes for the Hon. Amos L. Allen. Our
government is one Of parties, and eth
or the Republican or Democratic party Ia
going to direct and control 1t. 1t Is true
that the majority Of the House of Rep-
resentativss will remain Republican
whatever the result In this district, put
the size Of the majority is Of very great
Importance becarse In the actual work
ings of the House very narrow majority
sometimes 10 effective. When there Is
large majority the loss Of ons vote may
be of little consequence, when the mar
gin is narrow 1t may be Of great moment.
The Republican majo ty In the ne 1t
House at the most cannot be but six
teen-a narrow ono for eff ective work.
Any loss from this narrow margin may
prove of very serious consequence. No
one, therefore, who believes that the Re
publican PARTY ia better fitted by its
principles and by the elements which
compose 1t to give the country god gov
eminent than tine Democratic ought to
take the risk of jeopardizing the effective
control OF the Republicans by abssntlng
himself from the polls. Tie only way to
maintain good government Is for those
who want 1t to vote at every election for
tine candidate or candidates who by reason
of their own abilities aud the party in
fiuepces by which they viii be surround
ed and to q large extsnt controlled,
seem to them best fitted for the POSI-
lions for which they are nominated. In
difference is RESPONSIBLE for moro bad
governments in this country than any
one thing.
The parties to this election and their
candidates stand for very different things.
The Democrats stand upon the Chicago
plsttor m, with 1t, financial and socialistic
vagaries, ann the Democratic candidate
aooepts that platform and implicitly at
least promises TO support legislation to
carry out Its purpose. He is pledged. II
the opportunity arises. to vote for the
free coinage Of silver and to carry out
still more obnoxious declarations
of the Chicago Platform. His election
would place In the Houss of Representa-
tives q man pledged to theories which
constitute n menace to commercial and
industrial prosperity. The Republican
candidate on the other hand stands upon
the St. Louis platform, and ID pledged
to vote for a continuance Of the present
gold standard under which our CONNER
oial and Industrial interests ara gcing for
ward by leaps and bounds. People may say
that the currency is not at issue. They are
mistaken. AS long as q powerful party
stands upon the Chicago platform. as
long ~ the chief apostle OF free silver
continues to Be the most popular and
attractive figure in that party the cur
rsncy issue will survive, ready to leap
into activity and Importance at the first
favorable opportunity. The snake Of y

or excessive rains are less numerous
than usual ut this season Of the year
In North Carolina planting is nearly
completed and chopping about finished,
with the weather conditions favorable
for the growth of the plant
In South Carolina the cool weather
was unfavorablc for cotton, which is
making slow growth, and in few To-
ralities is infested by lice. Late plant
ngs not up. Sea island cotton has
good stands.
In Georgia cotton has been damaged
somewhat by worms, and the nights
were a little too cool, but with anything
like favorable season cotton will give
good yield.
In Florida the greater portion of the
State was visited by refreshing show
rrs, which greatly improved cotton.
In Alabama cotton was much bene-
fitted by the rains, and, although 1T is
still small, and it's growth was some
what checked by the cool nights, it is
clean and we'll cultivated and looks
promising.
In Mississippi the nights were too
cool in most sections for the satisfac-
tory growth of cotton. Some cotton
is being plOwcd and looks fair; late
cotton IL very unsatisfactory and much
rcplanting has beer done. The stand
for early planted as been variOusly
reported but in the main it is good.
In Louisiana, cotton that was planted
while there was yet moisture enough in
he ground to gelInnate the seed, is of
Il healthy color and the fields are free
from grass and weeds. The recent
cOpiOus rains will undoubtedly greatly
improve the condition Of late planted
cotton, and cause seeds that lay dor
nant to come up.
In Texas cotton has made good
growth and is in an excellent state OF
cultivation, except in sonie localities
over the northern portion OF the State,
where the ground has been too wet for
proper cultivation and the crop is very
foul. Planting continues to some ex-
tent over the northern portion, while
over the southern portion the plant is
well advanced and forming squares.
In Arkansas heavy rains in the early
part Of the week greatly retarded farm
ing operations. Cotton is nearly all
planted, except in overfowed districts,
where replanting is delayed by wet
condition of the ground. Cotton, gen
orally, is up, the stand only fair on ac-
count of defective seed and damage by
cntwOrns. In some localities in the
southern tier of counties, where wealth
cr has been more favorable for the
growth and cultivation of the crop, the
early planted is beginning to limb and
squares are forming. In some sections
the grass is very bad.
In Tennessee cotton has not only
suffered from the ravages Of cut worms,
but the cool nights have initiated
greatly against it's normal growth.
Bad stands are reported generally
throughout a large portion of The dis
trict.
In Oklahoma cotton is making nor
NAL growth, but on account Of delay in
getting the crop in the ground, it is
generally small and late. The early
planted is doing well.
