 or Republican sources. which have reached this city from up the State in- dicate state of Reorganization in Republican ranks in the strongest. which all the efforts of the leaders and the Governor Chairman have so far been unable to check.
 The disgust of Republicans up State over Odellism has created a situation which is more openly talked of by tho leaders than ever before. It Is a well known fact among those in touch with inside political affairs that in the cam. paign of 1902, before Governor Oden had assumed his dual role, his peculiar administration of party affairs had caused loud murnfuring among up State Republicans, and Just what did happen working hard and zealously in his cause. His plurality of two years be- fore, 11,126, which was over S2,000 be- to s.s03, and the ticket had the nar- rowest kind of a shave.
 If Odell was unpopular i9 Republican strongholds then, before he had shown his hand as he has done now: before he had added complete humiliation to his slights of Senator P1att, it is hard to find words to describe the light in which he is now regarded
 The talk of Republican upstate leaders who have been around the Fiftb Avenue Hotel for the past few days amounts almost to treason. There is hardly one of them who does not be- lleve that the State ticket is doomed to crushing defeat. To say so openly, Of course, would never do; but over the tables in the cafe of the Fifth Avenue Hotel the talk that is heard Is simply astonishing, coming as .t does from the RepublicanS.
 Governor Odell has found an incIina- ton among the Platt Republicans to lay down and not work. He was able to beat these same Republicans tnSo line for Higgins at Saratoga when they really preferred Woodruff. but he can not make them work now.

A coNPLErr sPECrMEN.

We had imbibed the opinion that the Massachusetts Robert Treat Paine was merely trying to show off as sort of political free lance. but we have de- cided that he is an all-around imprinta- ble ass. The Charleston News and Courier calls up a little incident in his history that puts him little beyond the limit as a cad. It seems that there is man in Brooklyn bearing the same name and he received letter and en- closure intended for the Boston man. When he saw his error he mailed the letter to his Boston namesake. with an explanation. and got this reply:
 Your letter, with its inclosure, has been received by me. I hope you will allow me to express my sincere regret that you should bear the name that by right of lineal descent belongs to me and my family here in Boston. There is no other direct male descendant of Robert Treat Paine, signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was the first to bear that name. If the name was given to you out of honor to the signer. I think such a practice should not receive the sanction of thoughtful persons.
 It would doubtless be diflcult at least outside of Boston, to find man with larger stock of conceited as- sininity than that. It reminds us of some of the royal nibs of the old world who think it a personal offence for any one to bear the same name attaching to their own sacred persons. but the Brooklyn man got back at him in pretty good shape. in this way:
 For the reason that 1t is impossible to stop the bray of the donkey with out killing the ass, I will allow you to express your sincere regret. The fami- ly to which l have the honor to belong existed for many years prior to the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and your statement that the signer was the first to bear the name suggests thoughts as to his antece- dents. I have never been suficiently interested to look up my geneaIogy, and certainly shall never attempt to now. lest I might find that one of it's withered branches reached out to you"
 It must be admitted that the Boston man didn't deserve notice from a gentle man. but he got 1t, and probably more of it than he was looking for. When a man makes such fool of himself as this one did he deserves to be ironed out exceedingly fat, though we doubt if he appreciates the service rendered him.

nUrrB ANOTHER comrnnss.

The foundation of Montsomery's busi- ness is. Cotton. The white staple is King here. Everybodys prosperity here is bottomsd. more or less directly. on cotton.
 This foundation today is imperiiied for lack of the proper facilities for handling the staple. The great bulk of our cotton receipts is shipped to the seaport and to Eastern factories. It cap% be shipped away promptly unless 1t Is compressed promptly.
 All of Montgomery's warehouses ana numbers of blocks of open streets are filled with cotton. There is q state of congestion unpreceaented in our iiisto- ry. It is true that the receipts have been extraordinarily large because of the weather and the price. but that is not the main reason of the congestion The cotton men testify that the compress facilities are inadequate. and that the two congresses here are not being workd to their capacity. Since the loss of one compress by fire last season. only two are left. and those are not run day and night as would be natural under such conditions. One of them only is run at night, and that merely until 10 o'clock. Both ought to be run all night. as we'll as all day.
 Unfortunately the two congresses are controlled by a combination of capital that has headquarters in Georgia and cares nothing for Mont gomery's interest. It is said that this combination has other congresses in towns and cities near this territory and in Georgia. Of course this com bination does not care how much cot ton Montgomery ioses;N all the cotton from this territory must find It's way into some compress in some town be- fore 1t starts away on its trip to the mills.
 This situation is alarming to every Montgomerian. It is much more urgent than an oface building. The ofice Building Committee Of the Commercial and Industrial Association would do we'll to divert It's admirable patriotism and energy to the purpose of building a new compress before another cotton season opens. If it is not done, Mont- gomery is liable to lose forty or fifty thousand bales of cotton from territory that naturally belongs to her. It would be wise for leading Montgom- cry business men to meet at once and start this movement. while everybody realizes the pressure. Immediate ac- ton will produce results immediate as we'll as permanent1-if nothing more 1t will probably cause ths two existing congresses to be manned with all- night forces.

 Prospects in Doubtful states.
 New York Herald.
 When Juage Parker came to the city yesterday ne discovered that the Dem ocratic campaign had grown a back bone. One was being ueVeIoped last week when he went back to Esopus at- ter three days or conference, but that it had stiffened up wonderfully was made clear Io him in many ways yes terday morning.
 The Democratic National committee is feeling hopeful about the States of New York, Indiana and West Virginia. The committee is not prepared to cIaim anything yet, but the managers are convinced that there is a very good chance of carrying the home state Of Judge Parker. Some Democratic cam paigners are even, more confident than the Republicans were few days ago. For instance. Senator McCarren made declaration which was equlVaient 10 Claiming the city of New York by 142,0O0, He said Manhattan would beat its Democratic majority or two years ago, which was more than Se.oV0 and that Brooklyn would give Farker

It is a protection state. But last week Henry G. Davis. the candi- date of the Democrats. made speech; which, it Is said, has satisfied the coal and railroad corporations in the state that even if the Democrats do revise the tariff Mir Davis will see that bitu- minous coal is protected. In addition to this 1t is said that Senator stephen B. Elkins is content to have the Demo- crats carry the State. The seat or Senator Scott, and not of Blkins. IS at stake, and MT. Elkins never dld care much for Mr. Roosevelt anyhow.
 So the word Is being passed along the Democratic line that MT. DAVIS will look after West Virginia and VIII deliver it to Parker.
 Thomas TaRgart has promised the Eastern members of the National G9m- mittae if they will deliver New 1ork and either New Jersey or Connectieut. he will answer for Indiana. This mas put the two wings of the committee on tervns of friendly rivalry,

are also reports showing that Roose- welt may run slightly ahead of the State ticket, but that he will be cut by the labor interests, who find fault with him for not interfering to settle the troubles there in the same way that he settled the coal strike. It is also said that several of the lar gest mine owners are against the election of Roosevelt.
 The Democratic National Committee has not much doubt of the results in Montana and Nevada. They expect to get both States.
 It will be noticed from the above that the Democratic managers are bas- ing their hopes entirely on continued favorable development of the cam paign. They are disposed to liken the situation to that which prevailed In 1892 They look for political reVo- lution. They frankly admit that the political revolution is not yet In sight and some of them are puzzled at the great number of silent voters" who figure in nearly all the canvasses ana polls. These men have probably made up their minds how to vote and will not indicate their intentions. In 1882 the Democrats were in much better con dition in the states of New Jersey, Connecticut and West Virginia than they now are.

 IT had my way, said MT. James J {. Walsh, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, T would make the whole campaign in Connecti- cut on the one issue of reciprocity. If our people had free coal, free lumber and free cattle they could revive New England industries to an extraordinary degree. It is all we'll to point to big balances in the savings banks and arr sue from that that the people are en- tirely prosperous.
 Just now 1t is an awful hard thing for the bankers to scrape up the inter est they have to pay to depositors be- cause 1t is difficult to find satisfactory investments. The price of building materials has become practically pro- mally large, and people are not build ing houses nor borrowing money for such purposes. Reciprocity with Can ada Is becoming immensely popular here in Connecticut and if there were time to agitate the subject thoroughly l believe we could carry the State on that one issue alone.
 NO one believes in actual free trade nowadays" continued the big Chair man, between conversations over the long distance telephone. with which Es ,rn. was stirring gsP the faithful in distant lleve in free trade, if for no other req son than because the tariff is the easi- est way of raising revenue, and the taxation IS Ielt less than Dy any other
 Most people now admit that General Hancock was right when he said the tariff is a local issue, He was laugh ed at then, but it is local issue. New England wants cheap coal for it's fac tories. cheap cattle for food. cheap lum- Der for homes. Other sections proba- ply want other. things and a tariT which ia good for one part of the coun- try may be bad for another part. Wo ought to be able, however. to adjust reciprocity SO as to benefit all sections to some extent and not materially In jurR any great local industries.
 "Conneeticut" continued this en- thusiastic advocate of reciprocity, lis q peculiar State rom q political stand point Tn proportion to it's population 1t has the largest number of people who are holding for investment stocks bonds. mortgages and other tangible securities. It ia this remarkable thrift mess which has built up our great in . surance companies, and which has put Connecticut capital into enterprises all over the country. Our people saVa their money and they like to get a re- turn for 1t: so that among all classes there Is a spirit of investment fin secu- rites which is not always discovered In Ntl ar sections of che country.

 Washington Special to New Orleans
 Times Democrat.
 Do not make the mistake of assum- ing that the present silence upon the subject of tariff revision in Iowa indi- cates that sentiment among Republi- cans in favor of modification of certain Dingley tariff schedules has disap- peared' said an Iowa man who return ed from the West today.
 There Is just as much sentiment in Iowa in favor of a scaling of duties on iron and steel products, glass and per- haps two or three other articles. as there was a year ago. Those tavoring modification have not changed their views; they are Republicans. however. and realizing that agitation of the sub ject during a preliminary canvass might embarrass the administration. they refrain from pressing their views.
 Governor Cummins," continued the Iowa man, has given notice that he is a tariff revisionist upon rational and reasonable lines, and believer in re- ciprocity, and it Is generally accepted in Iowa that as soon as election is over he will again become active in advo- eating his views. It was with extreme reluctance that he consented to delay even temporarily his efforts to build up sentiment in the West in harmony with his views.

 As a somewhat old citizen of Mont gomery, l have also felt some interest in the proposition to build a tower on Court Square. and ask to record my ideas abott it. Your correspondent, Progress, who wanted to erect a wogs gle-bug building all over the square. with nibs running out into the streets, was on the right road but he didn't travel it far enough. It seems to be the settled opinion of certain gentlemen that Court Square ls the only place left on which a sky-scraper can be To- eated. but that Is a mistake. What's the matter with a row of steel office buildings along the. middle of Dexter avenue? They could be made fifty or sixty feet wide, and still leave room on each side for street cars and bicy- cles; Perhaps wagon or carriage might pass. by tight squeeze. but if not. let 'em go around some other way True, Dexter is one of the handsomest streets in the South, and it Is also true that 1t is hallowed by many sacred memories, but what of 1t? We must have the sky-scraper, and when Pro- gress is knocking at he door with a pig stick sentiment and convenience must go back and sit down. Nothing so old-fogyish and moss- -backy should stick up It's nose when the opportunity Tor house like Birmingham's is to the tore. Kun row of 'steen-story build ings from the fountain to the capitol steps and show a disbelieving world that Montgomery has building space to throw at the cats.

TO NAME HEARST

For Another Term i'm Congress. New York Special.
 William R: Hearst will be nominated to succeed himself as Representative from the Eleventh district. Judge Parker was Instrumental in suppress ing the opposition which had arisen to the candidacy of Mir. Hearst, and get ting Tammany to consent to the nomi- nation of his most active opponent for the Presidential nomination.
 Because of his persistent opposition against Tammany and his repeated at tacks upon Mayor Mcclellan, 1t had been decided by Tammany not to let MT. Hearst have the nomination. Oth- CTS had been thought of, but no decis- ion had been reached as to a successor, Mir. Hearst, 1t was understood, was willing to accept a nomination for a second term. and will acquiesce in Tammanys plan to make him the nomi. nee.
 This change of plan on the part of Tammany, which is really victory for MT. Hearst, was made in the interest of harmony. Judge Parker has urged upon all of his campaign managers the necessity for absolute harmony in the party in this State, and for the paciflcation of the Hearst element first as pacifer on his initial visit to the city: and later when he smoothed out the differences which had kept former Governor Hogg, of Texas, out M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, to fall in line
 The necessity for enlisting the hear ty support of Mir. Hearst and all his followers was discussed with his man. agerS on several occasions, and after a consultation with Charles F. Murphy and Senator Bowling, 1t was decided that the nomination for Representative from the Eleventh district should be offered to the man who made the fight for the Presidential nomination.
 It was reported in Democratic circles yesterday that Harry Payne Whitney for Representative f~om Francis Bur ton Harrison's district, the ThiEteenth. Mir. Whitney arrived in New York from Europe on Tuesday.

On last Tuesday the Republican pri- maries for representatives in Congress were held in Boston. In one of the districts the most prominent negro of the State was q candidate. He had at one time held some position in the Governors political household and in his speeches he made urgent appeal to the Republicans to show their love for the negro by voting for him. Did they do 1t? Not on your life. He received less than 400 votes and in all probability these were cast by negroes. These Nothern Republicans are great lovers of the negro, except when he is a nsighbor and then they want him some where else

HIS REAL REASON.

Tn changing from Democrat to Re- publican Mir. Robert Treat Paine, Jr., of Boston, gives several reasons for his conversion to Roosevelt. but 1t Is plain that his paramount reason is be- cause of the Presidents pro-negro views. He declares that "he wants to see in the White House a man democratic enough to meet any man whose character deserves recognition at any function" In plain words, he wants a President who will make no difference, socially or otherwise, be- tween white and coiored.
 While this is not really surprising in a man who at this late day boasts of his abolitionism, the wonder is that he ever posed as a Democrat. The greater wonder is that the Democrats of Massachusetts should have twice made him their candidate for Governor unless they did 1t because they knew there was no hope of success and adopted this plan to get rid of him. There has never been such a President as he desires to see. unless Roosevelt fills the bill--a proposition which we are not prepared to dispute.
 The New Bedford Standard, com menting on Paines change of position flor we suspect there has been no change of heart-asserts that the de- cision of Mir. Paine is an index of what is happening all over the North" If this is a truth 1t Is deplorable one. We have better opinion of our Demo- cratic Yankee brethren than to believe that they will desert their party and aock to Roosevelt for no better reason than that they expect him to ignore race and color at his home or else- where. If this is true of any con- siderable number of the Northern peo- pie then 1t is useless for them to talk any more about the decadence of sec- tionalism.

French engineers have convinced themselves that the Mediterranean has risen at least nine feet in about 2,OOO years. The conclusion is based on the evidence of a submerged bridge 5000 feet long that formerly joined Leucade to the mainland, a submerged mole in the bay of Amphissa at Itea, and sub merged dock at Rhenee. These works all seem to date from the Roman period.
