THE STATE TICKET.
FULLY REPRESENTATIVE.

From The New-York Evening Mail.
For the ticket put in the field yesterday It is
enough to say in the opening phrases of the adj
mirably wOrded platform that it is the ticket OF
'the Republicans Of the Empire State the home OF
Theodore Roosevelt" There be place for
discomfort or indifference when the rival Of the
successful candidate again attests his friendship and
pledges his supporters TO "aS earnest effort If
not a greater effort, for Frank Higgins than they
would have made for me-"
The ticket is good enough for Mr. Woodruff. II
Is good enough for every Republican. IL Is. in fact
ticket fully representative Of the Empire State
Republicans. They should set about making its
success as certain as its merits deserve, and a
proper pride and proper sense Of responsibility in
Carrying the standards OF national Repubhcauisu
in the home State of the Republican national can
dfdata require

FOOLISH ATTACKS
From The New-York Globe.

From The NeW-tork GIobe.
All the chatter about Mr., Higgins a who
II elected Governor, would not be his own
master. or would not be equal 20 the duties
and responsibilities Of the place, Is silly 10 Is
unwise. THE Sun is assaiing him because he Is
a platform which says that the people OF the
State have decreed that the canals shall be i'm
proved" such Improvement being in its calm and
restrained estimation the supreme sWndle in the
history OF mankind" 1.-The Times has grave fears
OF his caDaeity and fears of hts friendllness
toward this improvements because OF the "hollOW-
and hypocrisy Of the Republican attitude
toward canal Improvement which are revealed IN
tho platform utferance the subject. In other
words. Mr.. Higgins Is at one and the same time
a DANGEROUS man because he is pledged to carry
forward the supreme swtndle IN the history Of
mankind which the people OF the State have de-
creed, and a dangerous man because he IS at heart
ike his party unfriendly 20 that swindle' and de-
tefrnfned TO prevent its execution III he There
IS no 'principle'' involved In this ISSUE but some
thing very like joke

port and covering. The opening was
steady at an advance of 3@8 points
in response to better cables than ex-
pected, but the market soon reacted
to about the closing figures of the
previous night and during the bal
ance of the morning ruled very irreg-
ular. The bureau report proved about
a stand off and had no apparent effect
on prices. Later in the session there
was active buying by brokers with i'm
portant Liverpool connections 1t
seemed that the room was caught
short and the covering which followed
resulted in greatly increased activity
and considerable excitement. AS
prices worked up 1t almost looked as
though two professional cliques were
working against each other with the
long end resting with a house with
Liverpool and German connections,
while Wall street appeared to be fight
ing the advance.
The general list shortly before the
close showed net gains of 14023 points
and the close was very steady at a
net advance of 1903 points. Sales
We're estimated at 100000 bales. The
smaller estimates for to-morrow's re-
ceipts at leading points may have en-
couraged buying, and there was also
some apprehension lest the cold wealth
er in the West would work down into
the belt.

Interior brokers still exhibited a ten

The receipts, as anticipated, were the

perhaps the biggest for the same day

dormant.
There was considerable more activity
on the floor. and shorts were retrench-
ing. Future operations were lighter
than usual, however, and all seemed
intent on following carefully the re-
suit of the days developments.
Heavy receipts are expected through
out the week, unless there is a sud
den change in tempera ture and rain
fall. In Georgia the receipts are ex-
pected to be especially large, as the
general complaint of lack of labor
seems to have been settled by the pro-
curement of sufficient labor to harvest
the crop.

Washington, Sept 2O.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions says:
Complaints of cotton shedding are
still received from the eastern section
and the northern portion of the west
ern section of the cotton belt, but re-
ports of rust are not so general. Ex-
cept in North Carolina, the staple is
opening rapidly in all districts, in some
localities prematurely, and picking is
general, although delayed by rain in
portions of Texas, from which state,
as well as from Georgia, scarcity of
pickers is reported.
Dry weather is causing injury to
late cotton generally in the central and
eastern sections, and a light or no top
crop is indicated in the central and
western districts, while worms and
caterpillars are causing injury in Okla
homa Louisiana, Alabama and South
Carolina. In Texas the boil weevils
continue as damaging in southwest
ern, coast, central, eastern and a num-
Der of northern counties as the add
vancement of the season permits.
Good progress has been. made in cut
ting, housing and curing tobacco and
a large portion of the crop has been
secured in good condition. Some late
tobacco is still in the fields in Virginia

Atlanta, Sept. 2O.-Section Director
]. B. Marbury of the Weather Bureau
in his Georgia crop report for the week
ending Sept. 10, issued to-day, says:
THE weather during the week was
very dry, only few stations in the
state reporting any rainfall; hot days
and cool nights prevailed; very fav-
orable weather for picking cotton and
all other kinds of harvesting: cotton
opened very rapidly, the late fields pre-
maturely on account of the dry wealth
er; the crop is practically all open in
the southern. and most of the early
fields in the central section; picking
is being rushed in all parts of the
state and the product glnned and placed
on the market as rapidly as possible;
general complaint of scarcity of labor
is received from the central and south
ern sections: late cotton deteriorated
considerably because of the drought
shedding increased and rust continues.
Pastures are failing rapidly in most
sections, and all minor crops are suf
fering from the ill effects of the con-
tinued dry weather: the soil is too

New York. Sept. 2O.-The feature to-
day was the weekly weather report,
showing about the same trouble as
last week in sections, shedding and boil
weevil. Then. too. the various states
complained that cotton was being in
jured by drought and Georgia and
Texas complained of absence of help
for picking. The report was not what
might be called good, but on the other
hand it was quite fair as compared
with other years at this time, and it
had no decided effect on prices. AS far
as the indication of big crop was
concerned there was nothing in the
report to encourage short selling. The
big movement is having no influence on
prices. Every time traders sell on the
big receipts the market turns around
and forces them in. Study the market
from day to day. and see whether
there is any difference in the action OF
the present market, and that at 9lA
cents. Then people sold short on good
