From the Baltimore Sun.
The near approach of the Democratic
National Convention of 1900 calls attention
TO the marked contrast between the stu
alton in reference to the presidential nom
ination now and at the corresponding pc
Rod in 1896
The nomination of Bryan at Kansas City
Is, and has been for weeks foregone con-
clusion. But 1t would have been a bold
political prophet who. on the day before
the Chicago Convention assembled four
years ago. would have dared to forecast
the selection of Mr. Bryan for the presi-
dency.
The convention met in the great Audi
torium at Chicago July Z, 1896. The silver
men were in a decided majority. but were
by no means agreed on candidates. As IL
was desired that the presidential nomina-
nee should be a shining exponent of the
silver idea, a plurality of the delegates
advocated the nomination of Richard
Parks Bland-"Silver Dick" Bland of Mis-
souri-who had won ma tional reputa ton
In Congress by championing free coinage.

In that lazy little village down beside the

When yer sniff the burnin' powder. when

And, amongst them days of Gladness,

When yer had yer fust ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Do yer member how yer teased her. morn

And how all the world yelled Glory"

Do yer member how yer bought 'em,

But I'd like ter ask yer fellers, how much

wv
New York. July 3.-While to-day's cot
ton market was higher the volume of
business was moderate and the general
character OF the trading was unsatisfac-
tory, being specially lacking in the ele-
ment of public interest Officially the
market opened steady, with prices four
to nine points higher. Subsequently
transactions raised the level OF prices
still higher. At the strongest interval
the net gain on yesterdays closing fig
ures was a matter of 110l1s points. The
demand came chiefly from local sources.
with buying 90 cover short contracts the
feature Of the days business. The strong
cables were to some extent offset by a
disposition to fear that the English cot
ton trade was predisposed 10 take alarm
and magnify the damage to the growing
crop In Mississippi and other sections
OF the cotton crop belt. through late ex-
cessive rains. 1t was argued that the
foreigners has been so badly punished for
their disregard OF last years crop dam
age reports that they were unduly in
Inundated by the present conflicting ac-
counts; and that for this reason the ad-
vance OF 1884 In spot prices and i5d3-ei
In futures in Liverpool was probably
more than the situation justified. on
this reasoning there was some selling
here for a reaction, especially as general
outside speculative interest was not a
factor.
The weekly weather report, though
bullish, was hardly os much so as late
somewhat sensational reports from prI-
vate sources had led the trade 70 EXPECT.
The official statement therefore, fell
rather fat and left the market to finish
in quiet. featureless fashion, steady in
tone, with the net advance for the day

Rafded Gamblers.

The FIRST gambling raids under the pres
ent Tampa administration occurred Satur-
day evening. 1t WIS reported that a place
was running on Seventh avenue, and the
police were ordered to go and stop it, This
was done, and only six men were caught
In the place. Another place was found,
but no one was caught there, as they
knew the officers were coming, and got out
OF the way. They had evidently been
well informed, but a little late, as there
was every evidence left behind to show
that somebody had been gambling heavi-
ly. A large sum of money was left in
sight.

quiet in anticipation of the holiday. Spir-
its turpentine opened and closed firm a
