POLITICS OF
THE BAY STATE.
Republicans There Name A Com
plete Ticket. No Free

-----,--, -. All unGapecree
attempt to amend tLe platform pre-
sented at the Republican state conyen-
ton caused a sudden but very brief
storm. The proposition to amend was
overwhelmingly voA down. The tick
ct nominated was ~ follows:
Governor, John l.. Bates of Boston:
lieutenant governor, General Curtis
Guild, Jr Of Boston; secretary Of
state William NJ. Olin of Boston; treas
urer and receiver general. Edward S.
Bradford of Springtield; attorney gen
eral. Herbert Parker of Lancaster.
The effort to change the resolution
came as complete surprise after
Chairman George Draper Of the COM
, mlttee Oh resolutions had read the
platform and moved its adoption.
EX-Representative Frank NJ. Fits of
somervile moved an amendment to
the platform in the form of a plank
for reciprocity with Canada and an
immediate revision of the tariff, so as
to include free coal, free iron, free
steel and free hides.
Instantly a wave Of excitement
swept the floor Of the convention
Isaac b. Allen wanted an amendment
protesting against the alleged i'll treat
ment of c0ored voters iIi the SOUTH
but this was lost sight of in the inter
est aroused by the proposition of Mr..
Fits. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
noting the tangle which impended,
averted further trouble by making a
vigorous speech In favor of the reso-
lutions as reported by the committee.
The amendment-~wa overwhelmingly
defeated.
The platform presented by the COM
mittee was adopted with not half q
dozen dissenting votes >

COTTON FUTURES

New York. October ss.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices I'M
changed to . points higher and con-
tinued to improve after the call on fair
ly active general buying In which the
shorts and Wall street bulls figured con-
s~picuousiy. The influences at work
were very conflicting. the weather re-
ports being ideal, the Liverpool cables
being not up to expectations and the
puhi.c operations being Of a hestitant
character.
On the other hand receipts were again
very light at the interior towns The
trade was influenced chiefly by thel light
movement. the idea being that ft re-
fiected a hort crop. The bears attrie-
uted the shortage TO the presence OF
every available man in the fields In
order to take every advantage OF the
fine weather south. leaving the ginning.
baling and marketing OF the crop to q
later date when conditions might not be
SO favorable.
The Weekly trade reports were fairly
encouraging and the market news from
Fail River were indicative OF good
trade during the fan and winter months.
The south and Europe were buyers OF
the winter months in the local market
after the call and a number OF the cad
ing bear traders covered up in antici-
patton of further rise In. prices should
the movement continue on Its present
slim basis.
Southern spot markets were reported
as steady but quiet: xpor ciearances
were again large.

The company intends later TO order
another car Of lis same pattern, so
six cars can be operated on the subur-
ban line next summer. They have re-
movable sides and can be converted
into open cars in summer. Six cara
will enable the company to run a TWEEN
ty minute schedule to b ocean.
On special occasions when there are
unusually large crowds to handle on
the suburban line on short notice, the
present freight car, which will have
a capacity of 200 horse power, will be
used to pull Jour OF the regular open
steam cars as trailers. They will be
overhau1ed, and in this way 600 people
can be handled on one train.
The Consolidated Railways, Light
and Power Company is in the hands %
capable, enterprising and progressive

MURPHY & co's. COTTON LETTER.

New York, October e5.-The receipts
at the ports today promised to reach
last years figures of $1,000 and this at
tracted attention. 1t was only natural.
however. that we should witness one
days increase and without such Il
change in the movement, estimates
must be reduced to a lower point than
even bulls had regarded as reasonable.
1t remains TO be seen whether the
week will witness a total, behind las.
ear as was the case last week. or
whether we shall catch up wtlth them.
Journal of Commerce published buiiish
reports from alabama and Georgia,
both as respects picking, chances for
top and final outturn. Cables were un-
changed. The weather may shoyad
once more high temperatures ID
absence of moisture Of consequence. So
long as this condition continues. IL
seems barely possible to expect a bet
ter market and nothing but the pos
sibilny of a continued small movement
helps to offset the remarkably fine Oc-
tober weather up to this time.
Despite Mr.. Buston'S bearish esti-
mate, firms OF importance in the trade
adhere to very small crop estimates.
Shorts covered October, and Houston
estimates for Monday being only half
Of last year G To offset the more
liberal current movement. The days
business was very small and the net re
suit of trading unimportant.
