From The Syracuse Journal.

A. was the case in 1895. the Democrats IN this
campaign are again the defensive. Against the
tried and tested theories OF the Republicans, tried

and found wanting, they will shortly submit
TO the consideration OF the voters OF the country
certain hypothesis which have nothing better TO
substantiate them than mere assertions

SLIGHT CHANGE AT CLOSE


 New York, January 26.-The news from South Africa caused both sides in the cot ton market, to pause and carefully consider this new pnase in the situation. Specula- tion was extremely dull except for a period of activity around the opening. Prices at no time departed from the closing level of yesterday.
 While the fluctuations were marrow and prices tame there were many reasons for believing that the local contingent was bullish.
 The market opened steady with prices 2 to points lower the latter being a sym pathetic move with weakness in Liverpool rather than the result of special bear ex- ertion or waning faith on the part of the bull forces. The market at once regained the loss sustained the call and even scored a slight net advance on heavy pur- chases for Liverpool and Wall street, after which prices tapered off to local scalp ing trade.
 Prices gradually settled back to a shade below last nights close and then remained unchanged until near the close, when slight upturn followed renewed buying The market closed steady to points higher,

Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt
 New York, January 26.-The Liverpool market was rather disappointing this morn- ing, causing our market to open rather tame, but near the close, after the spot market was announced there was run to cover by the shorts, and values were quick ly advanced. Spots were advanced to 8 cents, the highest point yet reached this season. March option was run up from 7.54 ito 76O, and closed at the top, Price McCormich bidding 7.59 for 5O.O0O March on the close. The port movement was slightly under last year. but continues rather Mber- al. The estimated receipts for tomorrow are about the same as last year. The out look on the close is for better markets to- morrow, both here and Liverpool.
