Only Hope of the South.

Another Washington telegram puts
it this way
There has been no demonstration OF
a Democratic kind here since last
Tuesdays election. The Republican
victory was so overwhelming, with
the northern states so solidly arrayed
against the southern states that the
peeople from the latter section here
aiouts almost feel they are again un-
Ger a sort of ban of condemnation.
They feel it is just bout time to as
scrt themselves, to name their own
candidates and declare their own plat
form. You can hear on every side
such talk as that there is no longer
any sense or usa in the south Yield
ing everything in men and compron.-
ise to the eastern and western Dem
ocrats of the north, that the south
has competent statesmen for candi-
Gates and measures of local concern
quite important enough to engage tho
attention Of the rest of the country.
II is believed from. the sentiment thus
divu!ged that there will be distinct
t. southern party demonstrating itself
hereafter in congress and in nation
al political councils.

north. We wouldn't get anything il
We all turned Republicans BY re-
naming Democrats We would get lit

in the event If its success Standing
out for ourselves and prepared to

southern Democrat.
That is the sentiment which is
typical of southern feeling here Just
now. Not southern Democrat can
be found who does not burn loose an
expression of disgust over the notion
o. reorganization as suggested from
either the Bryan silver wing or the
eoldbug eastern end of the party.

/ BIC COTTON RUSH
TODAY THE HEAVIEST RECEIPTS
FOR A SINGLE CAY IN MANY
WEARS.
Farmers Seem to Have Suddenly Ia
ken Notion to Turn Their Cot
ton Leose.


TODAY has been the biggest day f0E
the cotton buyers in many years, and
the receipts for today will reach
something like 500 bales, if he rail
roads handle as much as they did
yesterday. The heavy movement be-
gan yesterday, and With the morning
,he farmers began to come into the
city in droves. Yesterday was con
sidered the biggest day of the season
found they had more business than
they could handle. The farmers have
begun to get tired OF holding their
staple for higher prices and the buy
ers are exceedingly thankful. This
morning, bright and early, wagon load
after wagon load began to come into
the city and the brokers. buyers and
cotton men in general We're prepared
for the movement. Hundreds Of bales
have been bought and it is all good
cotton. The streets in the cotton dis
trict are lined with the fleecy staple
while the busy buyers hurry hither
and thither taking samples, offering
prices and weighing up the bales.
Both cotton scales are ,axed to their
fullest capacity, while every private
scale is in use.
1t was a happy time for all. The
broker gets the goods he has been
waiting for and the farmer gets the
ready cash that he needs. The price
holds up, although many farmers wish
there was another Sully to send the
prices up higher. The movement
yesterday is as follows:
