GORMAN AND MURPHY.
Conference Between Senator German and Friends of Tammany Leader.

New York, December 4-Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland returned to Washington tonight, after a very short visit to this city of twenty-four hours, during which time he was visited by agents of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. and a score or more of other prominent state democrats.
 A conference of the very first import ance was held in the Fifth Avenue hotel. where the senator was stopping, having for one of its purposes the swinging into the German column of the delegates from New York to the democratic national Convention. The story current here to- night is that Senator German came over from Washington expressly to meet the friends of Murphy at the request of Murphy himself, and that the outcome of the conference will be the throwing over of Parker by the Tammany organization and the adoption of the Marylander as the favorite son of the democracy of the Empire state.
 Murphy has been favorable to the nom- ination of Cleveland for the presidency, but since MT. Cleveland retired from the contest Tammany has appeared to lean to Parker as the only New Yorker men, toned in connection with the nomina- ton. Recently it has been found that Parker was too close to Senator Hill to please Murphy's friends. The Tammany leader then instructed the sub-leaders that they should not endorse any partic- ular candidate, thus leaving the organiza- ton free to make a choice. In this state of affairs Senator German was asked to come to New York for a conference, which took place at the Fifth Avenue hotel here today. The agents of Mur- phy are said to have informed the Mary lander that this state will be for him in the national convention of next year.

Cotton Mills Here and Elsewhere.

While some English mills are pre- pairing to erect mills in this country, because mills in England are becom- Ing unproftable, at least so far as American trade is concerned-whlle all this is going on, the New England mills desire the southern mills at their meeting next Tuesday to take steps to curtail production.
 sShould the southern mills do this? The chief object of the step is frankly stated to be the breaking of "the pres ent speculation" in cotton. They hope by concerted action to push down the price of cotton. They hope, too, to bet ter their own condition by securing concert of action on the part of the southern mills
 It seems to The Age-Herald that the southern mills should do nothing of the kind Let the mills of old England and of New England paddle their own canoes. Let tho Attest survive. The cry for help from New England is ex- tremely selfish and if there be more patriotism than greed in the southern mills they will let the opposition mills fight their own battles.
 The southern mills are as a rule wei stocked with eight-cent, or at any rate with innocent cotton, and they can tas rule, afford to stand by their own section and their own interests in the long run, letting the mills that once tried to crush the diversion of the ih- dustry to the sobth find their own way out of present conditions.
 The southern mills will never be helped in any event by mills in either New England or by those across the sea, and The AgeHerald fails to see wherein southern mills as a whole would be benefited by the New Eng land programme. Let every tub stand on it's own bottom, and the southern manufacturers will do well to adopt this wise old rule when they meet nex Tuesday at Charlotte.

Rev. Griffin w. Bull.

'I notice the Rev. Griffin w Bull of Atlanta has been called to the pastorate of the Moore Memorial church in Nash ville," said a local minister. He will begin his work in his new field today.
 "The Rev. Mr. Bull is one of the lead- ing Presbyterian preachers of the south. He has many friends in, Birmingham. Several years ago he came to Birmirg- ham and conducted very successfully a series of meetings at the Central Presby- terian church in this city. He was then pastor of a little church at lafayette. From that point he went to the West End Presbyterian church in Atlanta, where he remained until he was recently called to Nashville. He is quite a young man" !"

Cotton Makes Huntsville Happy.

''I have just returned from Huntsville,' said Capt. Frank P. O'Brlen last night, ''and I never saw such a crowd up there before in my life. There were at least 1900 bales of cotton on the square and the farmers seemed crazy to take advan- tage of the raise in the cotton market. The streets were thronged despite the rain ani cotton was the subject on every body's lips. It reminded me of Montgom- cry just before the war"
