hr Butler Is tine specimen of
the Southern gentleman and of
American manhood. Tall, con-
manding, and Of a distinguished ap
pearance, the truths which he at
tered were literally hurried out at
those who were antagonistic to him,
and when he was done, not one
among the many hundreds before
him could say that the the grand ado
dress did not team with truth and
wisdom. Indeed, 1t seemed that
the immortal Lincoln had returned
to earth and was using the great
Southerner as the medium through
which to warn the rank and file Of
the party of which he was once the
leader, that they We're being lured
on TO destruction through the false
cry of "prosperity."
Some good Christian woman in
the audience whose heart overtiowed
with Gods love to all mankind,
shouted "Amen!" or "True. True!n
at frequent intervals, but in this she
differed from others only in the fact
that her appreciation was audible. If
all the voters of Day county had
heard this speech and would vote
strictly In accordance with what they
felt was strictly right, Mark Hanna
would look over here after the cleo
tion and say, ''fhere's place that

brightness Of Gods truth is shining
there, aud the gentle showers of His
love are developing humanity there

wish neither to rob nor be robbed,
and hence are dangerous to our Re-
publican institutions. They will be

we will place part Of our standing

NEw YORK, Nov. 2-Bradstreet's
review to morrow Will say:
Cnreasonably warm weather con
tinues the leading directly unfa-
vorable feature Of distributive
trade because Of the check given to
retail distribution, cool weather Is
necessary to restore business In
most lines OF dry goods, wearing
apparel ard shoes. Conservatism
in view OF the near approach OF the
Presidential election is undoubted
iy an element exercising consider
able influence, particularly In stock
speculation. But conspicuous
exception to this is found in the
reawakening Of demand and tho
advance In prices shown in the iron
trade In widely separated sections
This Is really one of the most i'm
portant developments Of the week
and is taken as indicating that con
sumers stocks are down to q mini
mum.
Clearing statistics are encourag-
Ing. those for October particularly
so, although quieting stock specu.
lation has apparently limited the
weeks total. Failures naturally
show expansion over tho same pc
riod a year ago, but are much more
favorable man In preceding years.
Following the ending of the an
thracite coal strike has come the
announcement Of an advance in
wholesale prices Of from % to 80
cents per ton, and the impression is
that retail rates are not likely to
show any marked reduction very
soon
Speculation on the various ex-
changes has ruled rather slow. In
wheat the moving factor has been
the reiteration of the stories Of Ar
gentine crop damage, which was In
strumental In inducing some ad-
vance, much OF which was lost Ia
ter. Ia cotton fear of frost damage
has been the moving factor, and
scored from The Tow ppoon3 reatned
last week. A distinct and marked
Improvement in the demand for
both crude and finished iron and
steel is noted.
Although the export demand for
iron and steel is quieted Of late,
that for cotton is apparently undi-
minished and this week witnesses
the heaviest single days exports
from New Orleans ever recorded.
Nine months trade returns show
q gain in manufactured goods ex-
ported OF twenty-five per cent. over
a year ago, while the increase in
agricultural products was only 95
per cent, and later increase being
mostly due to higher prices Of cot
ton as compared with last year.
The outlook Is for an aggregate ex-
port of manufactured goods this
year OF at least $440, 900 900, a total
never heretofore approached.
There were S76 failures reported
for the month just closed, an in
crease Of "a per cent. over last Oc-
tober.
