OR. GRISSOM ON YORK. ..
Dr. Eugene Grissom is an old line
Republican, a man of brains and abil
ity, and is known from one end of
this State to the other. His standing
in the Republican party is such that
his name was prominently mentioned
as a candidate for the governorship,
but he refused to permit his name to
go before the convention. When
such a man who does not court noto
riety, openly and emphatically repu
diates the candidate of his party for a
high office there must be reasons and
good reasons for it. Dr. Grissom
gives those reasons in cool, respecta
ble phrase, but so pointed and une
quivocal that there is no mistaking
their full force and ,- meaning. He
- knows York, has watched his public
career, . is familiar with his record,
has been thrown in official -contact
with him, and from his knowledge
does not hesitate to say that Dr. York
-is not a fit man to sit in the guberna
torial chair of North Carolina; that in
his hands neither the unfortunate in
sane, the educational interests of the
State, or her future prosperity would
be safe. He recognizes in the Mongrel
candidate for the Governorship the
arrant demagogue, who in years past
opposed every measure that he favors
now, who when ajnember of the Leg-'
Mature triad to block by his opposi r
tion and his votes every' effort made
to oetcer ine conaiuon or tne uniortu-
nates deprived.'of reason' and would

legislative career was never known to

4 This is York. York as seen and

; ty-nine out of a thousand of the la-
teliigent, thinking people of the State,
to whom he appeals with his' cam
paign artifices, cheap tricks, and dis.
gusting demagogy for their rotes to
occupy a chair in which he would be
as much' out of place as Sitting Bull
" would be in presiding over a council
of Bishops. - - . z. . - r
? Doubtless Dr. Grissom's opinion is
chaired by many other Republicans,
who support York not as.a matter of
choice, or because they like, him, but
because the party lash is mightier than
the spirit of independence or the de
mands of patriotism.

THE COTTON MOVEMENT,
LETTER OF MESSRS. LATHAM,
v . - ALEXANDER CO -
Review of the Movement for the Past
Year, and Reflections aad Specula
tions on the Present Crop. "" ' '
- : New York, Sept. 16th, 1884.
Dear Sib: The Dast year will long
be, , remembered on account of its
financial commotions and; business
depressions, yet it was rather une
ventful to the cotton trade in this
country.
While there were no great advances
in the price of the staple, neither did
any marked declines take place. The
average price for-the year, though
not high, was not so low as to be un
remunerative to planters, and the
crop, although far from being large,
was . not seriously small, the total
being 5,713,200 bales.
Our own crop estimate, as puoiisnea
Sept. 13th on page 110 of our book,
"Cotton Movements and Fluctua
tions," was 5,900,000 bales. This was
much smaller than the majority of
estimates current at that time. I
The cotton year 1883-81 opened
with crop accounts and bureau report
unfavorable m September; tney were
similar in tenor duripg. October,5 but
cotton had been matured early by
drought, and a free movement of the
crop, together with the general de
pression prevauing m Dusiness; pre
vented any considerable advance in
price. Middling was 10 1 8 in New
York the first week: in September,
and 10 in the corresponding weekrof
November. During December it still
ranged at 10J, and during January
but slightly above that. t - f ! '
..The price in Liverpool had varied,
meantime, from 5fd at the opening of
our cotton year to 6d in January.
That market had, by the failure of its
most prominent 'bear" operator,
been relieved of a long felt pressure,
and was in a more natural state than
for a long time past ; it was once more
in a position to be influenced by sup
ply and demand and other legitimate
causes.'
But the first decided upward im-
gjtus to prices was given in March,
eceipts at the ports -and interior
towns had then become very small,
and it had become apparent to the
general public that the estimates of a
reduced crop, put forth early in the
season by well informed houses, had
been based on actual knowledge and
were about to be verified.
Much speculative excitement fol
lowed. The price of middling in New
York advanced to 11 f before March
jvas.over, and reached llf by the
middle of April. The volume or busi
ness in cotton for future delivery in
that city was well maintained. Not
withstanding the small range of fluc
tuations, the dullness in. general
trade, and the competition of minor
exchanges,- the sales of contracts in
the New York Cotton Exchange
amounted to 24,632,100 bales for the
year. . . . . - i: .
Prices of contracts had of course
followed the general tendency of the
staple itself, and August contracts,
from being 11.14 at the opening of the
cotton year and only 11.35 in Decem
ber, had advanced to 12.35 by the
12th of April. - ' ; i
That was the highest point reached
for the; year. Mercantile business
was dragging, stocks of goods in first
hands had grown heavy, f financial
values were declining, and gold was
flowing put of the country. These
causes and the financial crash; that
was precipitated in May caused cot
ton to give way. " But not to such an
extent as witghfc have been expected ;
E rices declined but slowly ; all through
ay and through mo;t of jthe i next
month middling brought 11$; it was
only in tho latter part of June that it
declined to 11 cents, at about which
price it remained to the end of the
cotton year just closed. In Liverpool
middling "uplands reached 6 3 8d in
May, and was 6 1 8d at the end of
August. " - -,
At the close of the cotton year,
Sept. 1st, - stocks of manufactured
goods were still large. The cause for
this may, we think, be found riot in
any unusual increase in the number
of spindles nor in the producing
power of the mills, but rather in a
marked decrease in purchases by
jobbers and retailers throughout the
country. : These, warned , by the
gradual snread of dullness in trade.
have for some time past pursued a
very cautious policy in tneir business,
and '.have ; bought only sparingly,
forcing manufacturers and manufac-
;turersr agent to carry the bulk of the
StOClC-TVi : - -. ' ,. -
f ? Considering that the crop of 1881-82
was nearly seven million bales, d rices
of cotton we're well maintained dur
ing the year just past, and at its close
stocks of . cotton show that the large
crop mentioned nas ceased to oe rep
resented in the present position of
cotton. 11
' Stocks in the United States ports on
August 31st were smaller than for
several years past, being 126,992 bales,
against 236.540 in 1883, 125,582 in
1882, and 217.031 in 1881. The stock
held by American spinners at their
nulls was undoubtedly very small.
". The total visible supply of cotton in
the world was 1,549,508 bales, against
1,732,705 last year,1.3;J6,924 the year
previous, and 1,713,300 in 1881.1
Consumption of cotton in the
United States has been only fairly
large in the North. In the South it
reached 339,517 bales, against 313,393
last year ana ZS6,D54 in is&j, an m
crease of 52.563 bales in three years.
- In Europe the consumption was
some wnat smaller tnan for the pre
vious year. During August, however,
European spinners rapidly reduced
their surplus stocks, and at the close
of this year held no more cotton at
tneir mills tnan they neld twelve
months before, notwithstanding the
large crop ot 1881 82, nearly seven
million bales. - f :
In a letter dated Sept.' 4th and
addressed to as, Mr. Thps. Ellison.
of Liverpool, has comprehensively
set forth the takings and the probable
future requirements of spinners
throughout the world, and the proba
ble invisible supply or stock of cotton
at their mills. . The same leading
authority concludes that the supdIv
of cotton from India, Brazil and the
minor cotton producing countries,
except Egypt, will be as much, as for
the past season ; from Egypt there
will probably be some increase.
In view of all the foregoing facta
tne progress ot the growing American
crop is certainly a matter of impor
tance to spinners in the United States
and abroad. Its, progress has Dot
been satisfactory. Accounts from the
crop are quite unfavorable ;.in- large
part of the cotton region planting was
retarded by an overflow of ,the Mis
sissippi River; cold, unfavorable sea
sons retarded the development of the
whole crop, making it unusually late
ana uaDie 10 aamage irom Killing
frost of even average date,ahd during
the latter part of this year it has been
senousiy cus snort Dy arought.par- :
ticularly in Texas. v y. ..
It is probable, therefore. thffc the
yield will fall considerablvfelBw the
average of the last five years; .The
uutttvurauiy reports : coming - in ' so
early in the season, and the crop
being so late, the yield may fall even
below the reduced estimate now cur
rent. ' - ,
The cotton trade of the orld" has
I i ch to etc:-i r ziz eyries
the past year; low prices, unprofita
ble spinning, sluggishness , in all
branches of business, on t account of
heavy shrinkage in the value of
securities and want of confidence
among buyers,! together, with an al
most entire absence of speculative
activity. Our own information, dep
rived from a very extensive corres
pondence with leading bankers, mer
chants end- manufacturers, shows
that there has been a material over
production of- cotton goods, leaving
at the close of the year excessive
stocks in the hands of manufacturers.
But this state of affairs has already
existed for nearly three years. Con
servatism and retrenchment have
been the policy of the masses during
that period, and the good effects of
this course must soon be felt. An
active demand and large distribution
of goods may set in at any timer Be
sides, it is not probable that the large
speculative element of the world will
remain inactive much longer; On the
contrary, : with the least encourage
ment, speculative operations might
begin. Cotton is not high at present
prices.- It is an article indispensable
to the whole world, ana its production
is measurably restricted ; it cannot.
therefore, be expected to share in de
pressions in trade tovthe same extent
as other articles for which substitutes
can be used and which ; are 'more
easily over produced. ; The supply
irom au ioreign countries nas not in
creased in many years, it has actually
diminished, leaving the 'American
crop still as important a factor in the
cotton supply of the world as it was
more than twenty years ago. :
There is no probability that the
growing American crop will be large,
and we see nothing in the present
situation - to warrant any feeling of
despondency. : . " - .
Before the end of the cotton "year
the whole situation may have changed
for the better.' ' Very truly,

Wasbingtox, Oct. 13. A Colum
bus, O., special to the Evening Star
says: , The last day of the campaign
developes some changes, though each
party still claims to have assured
victory. The respective committees
give out today some idea as to esti
mated majorities, and while claiming
as a rule that figures don't he, are
willing to admit that they are --some
times misplaced. The Democratic
committee foot up a majority of 9,224.
The Republican committee are ,not
quite so exact, but adhere to the gen
eral claim of from 8,000 to 10,000 ma
jority, i This committee have deemed
it unwise to make public their real
estimate, but the fact is their actual
figures make a total of over 18,000
majority, and all over 10,000 they ex
pected to furnish in the way of what
they call 'the Maine surprise" over
again. They have endeavored to
keep this very quiet, but it is the
estimate they have sent to Elaine,
and which they will stand by and
which they claim will be verihed he
fore the sun" sets tomorrow. These
figures were all made on Saturday,
but since then the committe3 hes
received Vmformation which give
them greater confidence in their esti
mate. One of the reasons for this is
a revision; of the wool growers vote,
which give the Republicans the bene
fit of a more decided change 7 than
had been anticipated., In a ; letter
letter received from a prominent
wool grower he says: : We punished
the Republicans for reducing the
duty on wool, now we are going to
punish the Democrats for not restor
ing. Another reason for their restor
ed confidence is the advices from the
Western reserve that a full Republi
can vote is going to the polls, while
advices received this morning are
quite encouraging in some quarters
as to tne uerman vote.
These facts have certainly given
the Republicans much more confi
dence than they had Saturday. They
declare that nothing but money and
fraud can defeat them.
A telegram from the National Re-
publican committee that a fund of
$150,000 has been sent from New
York since Saturday for distribution
in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincin
nati to aid the Republicans, is ; pro
nounced a falsehood by Chairman
Oglevee. The Democratic chairman,
however, has advised the Democratic
managers in those cities to look out
ior such corruption lund.
Gov. Hendricks left this morning
for Parkersburg, West Virginia,
where he makes his last speech in
the October campaign. In conver
eation he said that he was confident
that the Democrats would carry
Ohio. ' Of Indiana ho had no doubt,
whatever, and the result in Novem
ber he predicted would be the selec
tion of the Democratic ticket. He
was not, however,, as confident of
Ohio as of Indiana. Even if Ohio
did go Republican,, as it did in 1876,
be added that New York would go
for Cleveland in Novemb3r, just " as
it did for Tilden in 1876. He was
not enthusiastic, but was earnest in
his prediction. - Ha says this is the
greatest and hardest campaign he
ever was in, but that it has improved
bis health very much. tiis speech
in Parkersburg tonight is to be a joint
one with : uen. VV ood ford,' of r ew
