John Sharp William denied that Senator Oarmaca had received any telegram. Following Is the telegram that caused tha trouble; Hon WFSheehan Hotel Jefferson, St Louis, Mo. - I regard the Gold Standard u firmly and irreparably established aud shall aot accordingly, It tha action ot the convention shall be ratified by thepeo pi.

W J Bryan who had been sick, appeared, received with tremendous applause. His speech delayed action of committee on tha money plank. He uid if convention favored gold plank it ought to be honest and uy so. Bryan uld that Parker should have expressed opinion before convention convened.

Take It all in all the choice of the Democratic National Convention at St. Louts meets with general approval in New Bern. ' An expression of the opin ions of many of the leading men to the Journal gives evidence of that fact. They all believe that the convention made the very best choice possible. To be sure there were some who.when the sun of Orover Cleveland became slightly visible In tlo political heavens and tbe possibility of his once mora as cending the throne said in their hearts, "amen, so let It r-e." Othen bad hoped that Orover would be nominated so tnat they might hove the Intense satisfaction of voting against him. There waa a lit tle feeling here though that Cleveland was the only man who could heat Uoose velt and consequently he waa the only man to aominate. As tithe other cndldateB, Gorman and Ilearat were only mentioned occa sionally while the name of Olney of Massachusetts waa no, heard at nil. Ilearat di 1 n t lisvc a great following but his admirers as well aa thoee of Gor man arc standing under the Parkor ban ner ami will vote for him to a man, They all think Parser the safo and wUe loader of Democracy. As to the forcing the gold plank ont of tho platform almost every one re gards It as worae than fooling wtlh a buz, faw. Just why tho convention should allow the proceeding Is cot eas ily understood and tjiey regard the act as a terrible mistake That tt was op posed by as astute nolltlclana as these who defended It Wutes that the measure was atrocious, and the fact that the party has been twice defeated for tech nically the same thing. Many Demo crats of the city have expressed surprise and alarm at the action. It was amusing to nolo the mercurial temperament ot a political body as ex emplified by the recent convention at St Louis. It goes without saying that an enor mous gathering uite tnis convention ought to have some enthusiasm. It would be impossible for so many people to get together in a common cause with out having some little enthusiasm. The statement is as true of religious bodies as ot secular assemblies and un less there la some noise connected with it the meeting 1b regarded as a flat fail ure, unless some- good reason is shown that it should be quiet. So the enthus iasm shown at the convention was not to be wondered at but the Indiscrimi nate way in which it was used, First W J Bryan stirs the crowd to fever heat by going Into . the building, taking off his hat and sitting down. Mayhap he turned around and smiled. Be as it may the convention dropped Its business and devoted itself to whooping it up for Bryan. On two or three subsequent oc casions the convention went delirious whenever he appeared or apoko. Then another day Grover ' Cleveland was the little tin god. The mere men tion ot his name was the signal for vo ciferous and prolonged applause, It looked u If the sage of Buzzard's Bay was the coming man. Then Friday the Illinois delegation started a boom for Hearst. It outdid the proceeding dem onstrations for noise and bug houso, x Then after all the convention had cooled down and was sitting In its right mind it turned all Us favorites down and nominated (he man whom they hooted and hissed the day before. Such is life. Mr Bayaid Whltehurst returned from Norfolk Sunday morning. Mr Mitchell Rountree returned from a pleasant visit in New York Sunday morning.

The cotton market opened dull and featureless, and with prices practically unchanged to a few points lower than the closing Saturday. The cables from Liverpool showed considerable strength on a big demand for spot cotton, but ou rmarket practically ignored tha strong foreign cables. The more favorable weather south-west helped the bears and checked any notable demand for late positions in the early trading, but prices ran up a few points later, on short coverlng.'only to - re-act. again later on There were practically no demand from spinners and while spot houses bought moderately The reports' 'that some New England Mills would curtail their output by running on half time, had an unfavorable effect on sentiment The weather map showed more settled con dllionslnthe cotton belt with higher temperatures through the South-West. Trsding in the afternoon was dull and without Incident, " Prices held " steady and there was no disposition to take either side, until more definite Informa tion as to the crop outlook could be se cured.
