CONVENTION ACTED WISELY,

When my train arrived at I in the morning the convention had ton-
phed Its work, but II had been present could not have made a single
suggestion which would have been an improvement on It's course. Indeed,
the admirable temper displayed by the men who at first blush might have
considered themselves beited or aggreved by the singularly independ.
ent course Of their candidate Is one Of the most suspicious features under
which the campaign opens
THE final outcome Is a triumphant proof that the aggregate wisdom
Of q democratic body Is higher than that OF any individual among It's men,
bers; that this democratic republic always embraces In is citizenship the
possessor Of every quality necessary 10 guide II past any peril that NAV
confront It; that the Democratic party has Just taken the Art decisive
steps toward the recovery Of public confidence in It's leaders and It's purposes
toward the restoration Of justice and prosperity throughout the country
by the restoration OF Us own authority over the government.

The cotton market is so thoroughly
demoralized in consequence Of the
wild speculation on the New York,
Liverpool and New Orlans exchanges
that no one knows exactly what spot
cotton is worth and those who are
buying now are buying pig in bag.

futures at so to 10 points lower than
the close yesterday and the market
weak. The receipts on this market
today were light and middling sold for

From the SUSSEX RepubIlean.

From the Sussex Republican.
They have followed these leaders for
ten years and what has been the re-
suit? These leaders and a few OF their
friends have reaped the benefit, and in
the meantime the two Republican par
ties have got farther and farther
apart.
We are at the beginning Of another
campaign. and the outcome means a
great deal TO the Republicans in this
State There is "a general feeling that
the parties should get together on a
common ticket and pull together for
success In face of this sentiment Ad-
dicks threatens 10 run his separate
ticket and elect himself or a Democrat
and il is for some Of the members who
have heretofore supported him to de-
eide which it shall be. Addicks cam
not be Senator. Laying aside all arr
guments for or against him, it is fact
that there are enough Republicans in
this State to prevent his election. In
every Legislature there have been
enough Regular Republicans to defeat
him and in every Legislature in the
future there viii be enough. Addicks
may bluff and bluster all he cares to,
but he cannot overcome this obstacle
which stands between him and the
United States Senate and he never will.

A pemaaoaus.

w. Bourke Cochran, who has been
nominated by Tammany Hall to sue
ceed George B. Mcclellan in Congress,
appears to be in dire mental distress.
In his speech accepting the nominal
ton he declared that Democratic sue
cess this year is absolutely necessary
for the preservation Of the Republic
Democracy and prosperity. he said, are
convertible terms one depending abso-
utely on the other. That means that
this country has not known prosperity
since the Democrats went out of power
on March 4. 1897. The 100000 and
more Of workmen out of employment
under the last Democratic Admins
tration, the distress prevailing every
where and the enormous loss of capital
are all transformed by Cochran into
evidences Of prosperity. He has not
heard Of the tremendous prosperity that
has existed since that unfortunate per-
iod of Democratic Administration. Now.
he says, the Government IS organized
for plunder" A speech made In such
absurd disregard Of the truth is the
beginning Of Coclran's re-entrance into
public life. 1t looks much as though
his mental condition needed careful
mental inquiry
