The Republican

| county convention last Satur-
day was a laughable farce and we
are glad to see that many of the
delegates are already Disguised
with the work done, They realize
that with II townships in the coIn
ty for Hays to take every nominee
but one and he a democrat, makes
the convention work roaring
farce. And to make it more so, &
to make sure of certain defeat, an
early frost, they turned the conven
ton into caucus and passed i
binding resolution:--'No one but
a Republican or who would come
before the convention and declare
he became then and there a repub
Lean could be put on the ticket %
565 voters with ITO against them
putting up the bars against all
outside assistance.
With the dissatisfaction In the
democratic ranks over the location
of their nominees; with the Popu-
lists having no ticket 1t would have
been good politics to have made up
ticket of the best men in the
county regardless of politics and
invited support.
M M Fuller presided with Geo.
Leisering as secretary with Ward
and Danny Lewis as guards; the
free Press reporter entering with
the applause of the crowd, taking
his seat at the newspaper table
and taking notes of the circus.
First came the private caucus 6
everybody driven from the room.
Then when they re opened Rep
resentative was passed, no one
would take treasurer. Ellis asked
for sheriff but Hays took it, and
then took all the Offices but super
intendent, which no one would run
for, and finally given to Buckeye
democrat, and treasurer forced on
Ed Yost and Representative on G.
W, Miller, altho' over half the del
egates will vote for SchlYer on &C
count of the Normal School.
And even when Ellis asked and
fought for Chairman of the Cen
trail committee, their 200 repubii-
can votes were again slapped and
Hays took that.
Then for fear Hays would name

ton was adjourned to meet at Ellis

New York. July 3.-The market has
been very dull today in all departments.
No change in tone or prices of any de-
scription of cotton goods. Cotton yarns
continue weak with a poor demand.
Fire in Philadelphia last night is said
to have destroyed about 100000 pounds
of cotton yarns, worsteds and WOODEN
yarns Linen and jute yarns firm.
Linen goods firm but quiet. Burlaps in
limited demand, but sellers very firm.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, July 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and firm with prices
unchanged to two points higher in re-
Spouse to better Liverpool cables than
expected. Not long after the call the
fears of the local shorts, started by the
better feeling in Liverpool were allayed
by reports of good rains in Central
Georgia and the whole list eased off, Au-
gust dropping to S35. Trading dragged
considerably after IL o'clock and few
traders anticipated any material change
in prices on the bureau report The lat
ter, however, proved to be a most eX
traordinary statement, and by MANY
was discredted. After giving the aver
age condition of the crop on June 20 as
S47 or over ten points decline from last
month, the report stated that the recent
heavy rains in Texas had done the crop
little if any good and that further de-
terioration might be looked for unless
rains fell before the tenth of this
month Prices Immediately shot up
ward on active demand from both sides
led by nervous bears. For the balance
of the session the market exhibited
firm undertone with shorts fearful lest
the English market scored decided gains
during our holiday season. Sentiment
swung around strongly to the bullish
point of view, though many traders re-
fused to buy cotton until after the holt
days. Frequent fiurries of realizing by
smaller holders caused reactions from
top but the general tone of the market
remained bullish. The close was very
steady with prices net three points low
er to IA points higher Total sales were
estimated at 175,0O0 bales.
