lUt State Chairman, he asserts "upon ou
tliority,''that4n the electoral college neith
er Bewail nor Watson will be voted for,

but will get co more of it. ..Wilson if
always so extremist in talk or In typr(

it It satd to to highly creditable to that

Dosses nothing will now be done in the
matter of putting up ft regular candidate,

- order of the State committee. Hia with
drawal Is in favor of Strowd, Populist,
alltblaijgh In hit letter of withdrawal be
dpa not mention S.trowd's, .name. The
taking down of sfassey is a bitter dose to
some' of tbe Republicans.1 It is said that
In some counties Strowd will get only
light Republican vote. ' S t great is the
power of the ''machine" that it is hard to
say whether this is true. Strowd is abso
lutely sure 09 will be elected. :

THE COTTON MARKETS.
; October 17tb,
Tea cotton market today has been a dull
featureless one, closing at yesterday
prices though prices early In the duy
were lower.
This Saturday 12 months ago was one of
the most trjimi the cotton trade has
ever known. It was tbe collapse ol
trcrnopdous bull movement and. prices
declined 130 poiols in twp days.
Tb s market is free from such interests
now nd any decided change in the
near future is not probable.
A n un election there will be a change,
j'nr Errhb market bas been dvll at
61 to 7 1-72. .
Tours truly,
