Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-09-28

Gentlemen:-In accepting the nomi-
nation rendered by you on behalf OF
the Democratic party. beg to assure
you of my appreciation of the great
honor conferred. upon me by the dele
gates in convention assembled, and by
the voters who gave instruction to the
delegates.
am sensible of the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
of so great nation, and realize the
far-reaching effect of the questions in
volved in the present contest.
In my letter of acceptance Of 1896,
made the following pledge:
80 deeply am l impressed with the
magnitude Of the power vested by the
Constitution in the chief executive of
the nation and with the enormous in
fiuence which he can yield for the ben
eft or injury of the people, that |
wish to enter the office, If elected. free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy of the conf
dence Of my countrymen. Human
judgment is fallible enough when I'M
biased by selfish considerations, and,
in order that may not be tempted to
use the patronage of the Office to ad-
vance any personal ambition, hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express, my fixed determi-
nation not, under any circumstances,
to be a candidate for reelection, in
case this campaign results in my cleo
ton"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unqualified
approval. It courageously meets the
issues now before the country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the party's position on every question
considered Adopted by convention
which assembled on the anniversary Of
the signing of the Declaration OF In
dependence, it breathes the spirit of
candor, independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who, at Phil
adelphia IN 1776, promulgated the creed
of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech,
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, Imperialism, and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war. it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks of
the platform.

Bale in New York.
NEW YORK, March Eight hundred
thousand bales were traded in at the New
York Cotton Exchange today, and prices
moved up 25@30 points on this crop, and,
in spite of heavy realizing by Wall Street
and The outside public, retained a net ad-
vance at the close of is to 20 points, or
about 81 bale. The rise within ten
days has been $40 a bale here and $3.50
in Liverpool. And II is all traceable to a
semi-panic among shorts and spinners in
recent period placed entire confidence in
Mr.. Henry Neills' II 600 ,O00-ba crop esti-
mate.
The general estimates now are 5000, 000
to $500, coo bales. Liverpool rose today 81
a bale, largely owing TO excited buying by
the Continental trade, though Lancashire
and Egypt were also buying on a large
scale. Furthermore. the South is aiming at
10-cent cotton. and today there was a rise
OF 1-16c at st. Louis and Norfolk, 1-sc at
Memphis, Galveston, Augusta, and New
York, 1-SG1-4 at Charleston, 3-l6 at New
Orleans. and Ia at Baltimore, Wilmington,
and Mobile. German houses were big
buyers for Continental account, and Wall
Street took profits on large scale at the
advance There is still said to be a very
large foreign short interest, and private
cable dispatches report English spinners as
badly scared After change May on curb

The entire stock market yesterday
swung around the pivot of the unexpected
action Of the directors of the American
Sugar Refining Company. It had been
known that Wednesday was not definitely
fixed as the meeting day. but no one had
expected it SO early in the week, or at
least no one outside of the inner clique.
Before noon the public announcement was
made that the meeting had been held and
that the dividend rate had been cut to ! i-2
per cent for the quarter, or per cent an
nually. The market outside of Sugar was
strong and with an advancing tendency
for the most part, as il the street were
relieved that the mystery was over. At
the opening there was good advance.
which was followed during the second hour
by a small recession. When the Sugar
announcement was made covering of
shorts and buying for the long account
began and this continued until near the
close when again there was some reaction
from the best figures of the day. Sugar
advanced at the opening rapidly but de-
clined several points after the announce
ment of the cut in the rate and closed with
q small net loss for the day. In sugar, too,
however. there was much evidence of I'M

Before Judge Scott, in the Police Court,
yesterday afternoon, Frank G.. Schweitzcr
was arraigned upon charge of obstruct-
ing the sidewalk in front Of the Grand
Opera House After a hearing, in which
evidence was given by Major Sylvester,
Chief of Police, who ordered the arrest
of Schweitze- in person on Saturday night
last. when the alleged offence was COM
mitted. the prisoner was convicted and
fined $40.
When the case was called the accused
pleaded not guilty. Several witnesses were
examined and finally Major Sylvester took
the stand and explained to the court that
he had directed the arrest. He said he
desired that the police be upheld in their
efforts to break up unlawful. obstruction
of the sidewalks. and testified that he or
dered the prisoner TO leave the vicinity
prior to directing his arrest. According
to the Testimony, Schweitzer refused to do

The squirt of Traction is causing much
comment in F Street and the talk Of par
for the stock is heard frequently. The
session of the exchange yesterday was
crowded with visitors, friends and holders
of the stock.
One group Of insiders in Capital Trac-
ton insist that this boom is due entirely
to the fine business OF the company and the
increase to be made in the dividend rate
next month. On the other hand, it is as
serted with much confidence by some that

sons there is another in the expectation

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Winter Wheat Crop But n Little
Short of Expectation.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Wheat was dull
opening a shade higher on cables, but later
selling off on the lack of support and the
generally bearish statistics. Liverpool
closed 1-4@1d higher. Worlds shipments
were $500, 900 bushels The amount afoat
increased 2,4S0,0O0 bushels Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bushels less than last
year. Clearances were very light-110 900
bushels. Seaboard reported only loads
taken for export. The winter wheat condi-
ton is reported little short of perfection
except in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.
Corn was heavy, at no time very active
in futures, and the seaboard talked very
bearish ca cash. New York kept claiming
that cash corn was practically unsaleable
Some shipping business was done from
here, however-possibly 250,000 bushels
Futures lost Use, May closing "a 1-2. July

The decrease on passage was almost as
large as the increase in the visible. Liver
pool was 1-SG1-4d higher. The dullness
of the speculative interest is the really
bearish factor.
The oats market was quiet, with the sell
ing of futures by elevator interests, and
apparently considerably better than the
buying. There were 354 cars, with 27O for

increased 300, 600 bushels. The local stock
increased 3S4 600 bushels. Clearances were

vantage of the dullness to depress prices
