A WINNING TICKET.

Utah Republicans Name state Onicers at
Provo.
The work of the Republican conven-
ton in Provo yesterday was Il theme
for rejoicing among the Republicans of
this city; it was the occasion Of deep
sorrow among the Salt Lake Tagals.
The ticket and the platform are most
satisfactory; both are promises of vic
tory.
The platform is frank and fair; moth
ing in it indicates any desire to evade
any of this years issues; it stands by
President Mckinley in his work of ex-
ecuting the laws; it praises the great
work he has performed under mighty
trials; 1t holds up his hands as the
needed work progresses.
on the question of silver it tersely
points out that the conditions which
made it vital issue four years ago
have ceased to exist, and points out
that greenbacks are much more So
licitude to Mr.. Bryan this year than
silver.
1t renews the allegiance of the party
to protection; 1t treats the Philippine
question as Jefferson did Louisiana, as
Monroe did Florida, as Polk did Cali
fornia. 1t arraigns the Democracy for
its hypocrisy and imbecility.
The ticket looks to us like winning
one, like one to cOnjure by.
The people of Utah are old-time pro-
tectionists; when they look out upon
their fiocks and herds, their fields of
beets, their lead and copper mines and
their manufactures, they will hesitate
before they determine to serve notice
on the nation that they want that pro-
lection withdrawn.
They are old-time eXpansionists.
When they settled in this corner Of
Mexico, they remember that Mexico
passed the title to the United States
thought of asking their consent to the
change of government; and still, In the
fullness of time, they saw their beauti-
full state take form and saw 1t received
Will hardly, this year. cast II vote OF
censure or protest against the onward
march of the great Republic.
Some of their boys died in the Phil
ippines. They will not vote to give the
chief magistracy of the country into
the hands of man who says in adj
vance that If elected he will turn over
those islands as spoils to the men who
killed the Utah boys; and more, will,
if necessary, use the army and navy
of the United States to secure to those
thieves and murderers for all time
their stealings.
The promises for election day are all
fair.-Salt Lake Tribune.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 1i.--The cotton market
was in a peculiar position to-day being
more or less inundated by possibilities
of giraffe changes not governed by the
regulation influences. The local situation
was menaced by the possibility OF llquida-
ton, following the late advance, while on
the other hand tho possibility OF q further
advance was not lost sight Of. This sort
OF thing had the effect Of restraining bust
ness: yet The market was still very active,
nervous and subject 10 frequent and very
wide fluctuations. The market opened at
a decline OF 12ni5 points upon old crop
n0gitinna and 10 on new cron months.

effect that things were rather feversh in
New York and that the situation is pecu-

the fact it came to a stop was no more

prevails, however. and the general con-
viction is that higher prices than the
present will soon prevail. Savannah and

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Feb 1i.-Murphy & co. say:
Cotton continues active and Giraffe Lo-
Gals expected Liverpool would come to
points higher to-day, hence the advice
1-32d on spots and reaction from 5-64 TO
2-6ld before our opening, caused consider
able selling pressure and a decline of
about 6 points. On all previous months IL
has paid to buy and the decline brought
in new buying and rapid recovery, after
which the market ruled feversh and ir-
regular on heavy realizing sales on bulges
and active demand on soft spots. Re-
ceipts are large and offerings from South
on a liberal scale, but at fancy prices as
compared with futures. The Bombay
movement tomorrow will doubtless be
small and compares with maximum re-
ceipts last year. The statistical position
i'm Great Britain and belief in a crop Of
100000 bales encourages bullish feeling,
but this market is likely to follow, not to
lead Liverpool and any. unexpected de-
cline there is apt to cause general selling
here"
New York, Feb. 14.-Hubbard, Bros. &
Co say: Liverpool failed to respond to
the strong closing of the American mar
kets, opening irregular at an advance of
five to six points and becoming weak. 1t
closed easy with private cables, stating
the market acted as though II had spent
itself unless the movement falls off rapid
ly. Our market has been exceedingly
nervous. opening lower on the liquidation
of stop orders then rallying rapidly to
the highest point of the year from which
point there was slow decline on slow
selling for outside account, finally be-
coming heavy. Receipts at the ports and
interior towns are larger than expected,
especially in Texas, where 1t surprises
everyone. The trade are looking for this
movement to be lighter If the market Is
to be sustained"
