Chicago, August 23-Corn was the bull leader in an active grain market again today Fears of frosts in the corn belts helped in a natural advance, but there was something of a manipulative aspect to trade that aroused a nervous dread in spectators who went short yesterday. In the other pits much the same conditions as prevailed of late were factors poor grading flair cash demand and weather fears. Wheat was aided materially by reduced receipts and immense export clearances.t At the close September corn was 1ssc higher, September wheat Ac up, September oats 4e lower and September provisions 715dl0c higher.

[Advl MOBILE FOR JOHNSTON.

Greg. L. Smith Is Second Burchard. The following telegrams have been re- ceived at headquarters:
 Mobile, August %, 1902 Governor Joseph F. Johnston, Col B. l.. Russell, Hon. D. P. Bestor and Maj. Sidney T. Price, spoke here last night to the greatest political gathering ever held in this city. The Register admits two thousand present. and Governor Johnston's trends estimate the proper number to be not less than thirty-flve hundred. The greatest attention was given. The sensation of the evening was the reading of a letter from Hon. Greg ory l.. Smith, attorney of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, ad- dressed to H. M. Minto master mechanic of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad shops at Mobile, which had gotten into the hands of the Johnston campaign committee. In urging the support of the men under MT. Minto among other things this letter said MT Johnston Is of course being supported by the whisky bum and hoodums; this is to be ex- pected, all they care for is drink or q dollar to buy a drink with; how the mechanics, who as a class, are among out best and most respectable citizens can afford to vote with these buns against their own interest, I do not un- derstand They cannot afford to side with the whisky bum and hired ward politi- clans in favor of the re-enfranchisement of the free negro against the best in- terest of themselves and the rest of the respectable element of the community" In regard to this letter Governor John ston said: Amy man that will tell you that I am in favor of merchandising the negro will tell you thing as false as hell. So far from whisky buns and hoodlums supporting me, I can say that when I was governor 1t was my pleasure to often visit your city, and l never found it necessary to have anybody certi- fy that I was not drunk while here Governor Johnston is supported in Mobile by all classes of its white citizens, mer- chants, lawyers, doctors, clerks, skilled mechanics and the laboring element all most in a body. The secret attacks which have been made upon him are resented by all fair minded people and is doing much towards increasing the majority by which he will carry this county.

people but the merchants as well
should patr0nize home industries
as far as possible.
