JUDGE 4. L EHUG!Us..
BA'GGED THE
JUDGESHIP.
at. the Republican County Primaries
j Held saturday-His Majority
Was Very Large;
DELEGATES TO CONVENTION.
Next Saturday Chosen at the Pri-
mpty-The Vote Fully as Large :
4 as Expected.

The Republicans OF Ohio county held
their primary on Saturday, nominating
Judge T. J. fungus; ofsTrladelphia dis,
trict. for Judge of the criminal court.
oyer Attorney r.. NJ. Addleman, OF
Madison district, by decisive major
ity.s. The able record of Judge Hugus
during six yeais occupancy of the
criminal court bench makes him as
strong candidate as the party could
ihage named, and his election in No
yember is well assured. u. v
The primary was also the occasion of
naming eachrdlstrict's delegates to the
county convention, and the result
shows that in districts where states
were set up they Jared badry--or at,
least honors were divided. Forf In.
stance, in Clay district but two of the
first eight suggested were successful.
while the six other delegates are num-
bered In the second bunch of eight.
The number OF votes castlat the pri-
mary came up to the expectations OF
the party leaders, who predicted in Sat-
urdays Intelligencer that the vote
would be between $500 and $500. AS
will be noted It came much nearer the
larger figure.
!; The vote in detail for criminal court
judge was as follows:

DEM0RAIIzED COTTON MARKET.
Disastrous Effect Of the Rise In Price Upon
Manchester Mills.

Manchester, Sept. 16.-The excitement IN
cotton last week practically blocked al
most to a complete standstill important
transactions in cloth. Prices were very
irregular, although the sales effected were
usually at substantial advances. Salts
factory demands from India were scarce,
the manufacturers frequently declining to
quote or asking figures quite unobtain-
able. There are no prospects of move
ment toward China. Wealthy agents and
manufacturers are holding large quant!-
ties of China cloths until the merchants
can accept delivery.
The Manchester Textile Mercury esti-
mates that the minimum average of stop
page for the mills will be eight weeks. al
though the period may be longer. and
that the losses, including the wages of
500,OO0 workers, will be f25. 900 900 These
losses are attributed to the failure of ra-
ture to supply sufficient raw material.
The English manufacturer is totally &C.
pendent upon a circumscribed area OF for
eign supply, and those who provide this
supply are now straining every nerve 10
consume the production at home, thus be-
coming formidable competitors of Eng
land.
These competitors" saws the TEXTILE
Mercury, "are the most formidable who
could possibly enter the markets Of the
world against US. The remedy for fhe
future Is the cultivation of cotton within
the realm Of greater Britain.
