THE COTTON OfiOP,
COKE FAILS TO SPECIFY.
Latest St Louis Report—Texas Most Fa-
vorable.
St. Louis, Sept. 9.—The Republic's weekly
review of the condition of the cotton crop
6ays: Reports from the cotton crop this sea
son are mainly of an encouraging nature.
This is especially of Texas. A large part of
Arkansas, nearly the entire Memphis district,
Georgia and Mobile section and other parts of
these sections and South Carolina report great
damage from rain, rust and worms. In the
flooded sections of Mississippi and Louisiana
the second crop is looking well and may yield
a good crop if the weather is at all favorable.
The Whittier Funeral.
Amebbury, Mass., Sept. 9.—Arrangements
for the funeral of the late John G. Whittier
have been completed. The body will lie in

Murdered His Bride.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 9.—Frank Garvin, a
newspaper artist, 23 yoars old, shot his wife,
Cora, through tho head about noon to-day at
their home on Avery street, Allogheny. The
couple were married last Tuesday and the
cause of the deed is supposed to have been in-
sane jealousy. Mrs. Garvin was 20 years of
Bge and very pretty. She was the daughter of
Homer Redpath of Chicago, a former resident
of this city, and came here on Monday last to
marry Garvin. The murderer is in jail.
A Very Hough Fellow.
Stockton, Cal., Sept.9.—[Special.]—Antone
Patti, an Italian of bad character, was ar-
rested for shooting a young lady named Mabel
Wheeler in Copperopolia this evening. He
had been endeavoringto pay some attentions
to her, but she refused to have anything to do
with him. Ho met her in the street iaBt night
and fired two shots at her, which will prove
fatal. Miss Wheeler is tho daughter of a
physician in San Francisco. There is a pros-
pect of lynching.

Prom Chairman Baker.
Denton, Tex., Sept. 9.—Senior Senator
Coko arrived in Denton to-day. Ho came
down on the Dallas and Henrietta train from
Gainesville and got into town just at dinner
time. The News scribe called at tho hotel
this afternoon and talked with the senator.
"I notice* that you say your speech at Hills-
boro was distorted beyond recognition and
that much with which you are accredited in
the speech is wholly untruo," began the News
man, and before the senator could be in-
formed that The News was a fair newspaper
and if ho claimed he had been misquoted the
paper would grant space for his side, the sen-
ator said:
"I refuse to be interviewed," audconcluded
by saying: "I mean nothing personal; no did-
respect to you."
Situation in AValler,
Hempstead, Tex., Sept. 9.—The third party
folks originally determined to hold their
county convention to nominate a straight
ticket on the 10th. This has been changed to
Saturday next, the 17th.
The ropubliean convention for the same
purpose has been called to meet Thnrsday,
September 22.
It is rumored that the third party followers
contemplate again postponing their nomina-
tions in order to see whom the republicans
will nominate.
All indications now show that both parties
will divide tho offices aud support one ticket,
viz., the republican. This game is being
worked very slyly, and the result is one of tho
unsolved problems of political tricks. Tho
third party white vote will be TO or 400.
Probably a fow scoro of colored
voters will go with them. There is certainly
about 300 republican majority when strict
party lines are drawn, but horetofore both the
democratic and republican tickots have been
scratchcd fearfully, as many members of tho
parties would not bo driven by the party lash,
Tho indications point to tho samo courso this
year.
Hogg has a large majority of tho white
voters, probably 40f) out of the 500 democratic
voters left after deducting the 300 third party
fellows, who always heretofore nearly split
their throats hollering for Hogg and a com-
mission. Should a majority of the 1200 re-
publican votes of the county be cast for Clark,
as many politicians here predict, Waller county
will be far from a Hogg ranch.
From Fort Worth Headquarters.
Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 9.—Chairman
Matlock opened democratic hoadquartors in
the Hurley building on August 24 and now
finds it necessary because of the tremendous
interest being taken in Judge (.'lark's canvass
to rent additional room. Beginning to-mor-
row ho will occupy another room next to his
present quarters, making a suite of three com
modious and well lighted apartments front-
ing on Seventh stroet.
In addition to the appointments already
made for Clark speakers in the state other
long lists are being prepared.
The fight is now on in this senatorial dis-
trict. Yesterday Mr. Martin chairman of the
executive committee issued a call appointing
September 28, as the day for holding another
Hogg convention at Granbury for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for senator against
Judge Beckham who has already been placed
in nomination. Mr. Martin expects war with
tho chairman of tho Tarrant county executive
committee who has already refused to recog-
nize Mr, Martin who in consequence will, it is
believed appoint a new county chairman and
attempt to interfere with the Clark machinery
of the county.
County Clerk Keonan of Baylor county was
in the city to-day. In conversation with a
News representative lie said: "We havo con-
siderable politics in Baylor, and it is pretty
evenly divided between the admirers of Clark
and Hogg, with the odds in favor of Clark.
The third party does not cut much of a figure
with us."
Fields at Xacogdoches.
Nacogdoches, Tex,, Sept. 9.— General
Fields, the nominee of the people's party for
vice prcbident, passed through here Wednes-
day on tho train from Houston to Shreveport.
Quite a number of citizens went to the depot
to get a look at him and hear him talk. A
fair proportion of them were of his party and
had come in from the country. A telegram
was sent ahead announcing his coming and
requesting his friends to meet him. When
the train arrived he appeared on the platform
of the coach and was introduced by Mr. Win.
A. Skillorn, the party's nominee for senator,
who had accompanied him from Lanana.
General Fields at once proceeded to talk in a
low, weak voice, which could not be heard by
those on the outside of the crowd. They
drew nearer, but still many could not hear.
The general kept his eyes lowered to those
who were nearest and addressed himself to
them. Observing some colored people, who
had pressod forward, lio told them that "we
are all in the same boat now," and said that
it was time to abandon the old parties, that
had failed to givo the desired relief. Two
persons present had seen the general in Vir-
ginia during tho war. One of them, Mr. J.
B. Reid of this place, shook hands with him,
saying: "I belonged to your division." Mr.
Reid speaks very kindly of the general. The
train only stopped about five minutes.
Gone With the Hoggltes.
Waco, Tex., Sept. 9.—Hon. James A. Har-
rison, chairman of the democratic executive
committee of McLennan county, has received
the following from John C. O'Bryan, member
from McGregor:
McGregor, Tex., Sept. 9,—Hon. James A.
Harrison, Chairman McLennan County Exec-
utive Committee for Judge Clark—Dear Sir:
I was elected by the county convention a
member of your executive connnittoe prior to
the state convention that convened in Hous-
ton on tho 16th ultimo. I hereby tender my
resignation. I can not in good faith serve on
that committe any longer and deem it a duty
to you and myself to resign. I was an ardent
supporter of Judge Clark before tho state con-
vention, but regard his bolt at indefonsibio
and in open defiance of the will t the major-
ity of I he people of Texas. Whi:c I person-
ally entertain the highest roganl for judge
Clark I am a democrat and feel that tho dem-
ocratic party is involved and th:it Governor
Hogg is its legitimate nominee and will sup-
port him. Yours truly, Jons O'Bryan.
The democratic executive committee will bo
called together next week and Mr, I ('Bryan's
placo will l«e filled satisfactorily.

Waco, Tex., Sept.9.—Chai'.an Waller S.
Baker of the Hogg state committee said to a
News reporter:
"Hon. Amory R. Starr, whoso resignation
was mentioned yesterday, was not a member
of the stato executive committee, but was
elected chairman by the recent congressional
convention in the Second district. Ho is a
strong administration man and gives as a
reason for resigning that he is unable to servo.
His resignation being sent to Chairman Baker
is a recognition of that gentleman's au-
thority."

POLITICS ELSEWHERE.
Cleveland and II111.
New York, Sept. 9.—The aftet develop-
ments following tho dinner of the democratic
leaders at tho Victoria hotel last night are
being watohod with great intorost by the poli-
ticians to-day. It was early am^unced that
Mr, Cleveland will not remain over beyond
this evening, but would return to Gray Gables
by a Fall rivor boat to-night, accompanied
by his privata secretary. There was a dearth
ot callers this morning, no one appearing
on the scene until 11 o'clock. This is thought
to indicate that no more need existed for fur-
ther conference. Shortly after 11 o'clock
Colonol W. Brown called and was ushered up
stairs for ten minutes' conference. Don M.
Dickinson, from the national headquarters,
was a later arrival. Tho most significant in-
cident of tho morning was the arrival of Ctias.
D. Dofreest, clerk to the democratic state
committee, togother with Samuel Beardsly,
stato railroad commissioner of Utiea, and As-
semblyman Sultzer. Tlieso gentlemen are
all credited with being strong Hill men. Dc-
frcost announced that Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan had left on a flying visit for Buffalo
by tho morning train. The purpose of tho
v isit could not bo learned. It was learned
that the democratic state headquarters' ad-
visory committoo had fixed up tho factional
trouble in Buffalo.
Cleveland Gone Home.
New York, Sept. 9,—Ex-President Cleve-
land left the city for Buzzards' Bay on the
Fall River boat Puritan at 5.80 this afternoon.
Ho was accompanied only by Private Secre-
tary Robert Lincoln O'Brien. He will take
the train directly upon arrival at Fall River
and reach Gray Gables at 10..'i0 to-morrow
morning. He retired to the stateroom after a
brief consultation with \V. C. Whitney, who
accompanied him from the hotel. Whitney
called at thy hotel about half an hour before
the departure and went to see Cleveland. Be-
fore doing so lie gave a hopeful view of tho
prospects in an interview. He said that with-
in the past forty-eight hours he had gone over
reports from all parts of tho state with Lieu-
tenant Governor Sheolian and everything was
looking very favorable.
A few words were had with Cleveland as ho
made Ilia exit from the hotel. He was asked
if ho had accomplished tho purpose for which
he came to the city.
"Yes, yes, most certainly," ho replied, very
cordially and heartily. "I simply came hero
for a mooting of a number of my political
friends and have succeeded in the purpose."
Being asked if tho prospects iu tho stato and
country looked favorably, Cleveland replied
pleasantly ill tho affirmative. There was ab-
solutely no otlior incident before tho depart-
ure of the boat. Cleveland was looking ex-
ceedingly well. His face was bronzed by ex-
posure, his oyes were bright, and he appeared
woll satisfied with tho results of his visit,
Tammany for the National Ticket.
New York, Sept, 9,—Tammany hall came
out boldly to-night for Clovoland and Steven-
son. A meeting of tho general committee had
been cailed togother to issuo a call for the pri-
maries of tho districts. Ex-Judge Nolson
Smith presided. Woll known politicians
filled the boxes and the hall was crowded. The
chairman mado a brief speech eulogistic of
the democratic presidential and vico presiden-
tial candidates, and at each mention of Cleve-
land's namo tho hall shook with cheers.
Senator Bourke Cochran in ono of his
characteristic speeches then presented reso-
lutions indorsing the declaration of principles
adopted by the democratic national con-
vention at Chicago, condemning as "tend-
ing to subvert our constitutional system tho
republican policy of establishing federal con-
trol of elections throughout tho country,
whother that control bo exorcised by partisan
boards, such as contemplated by tho republi-
cans when in power, or by non-partisan boards,
such as the president under the stress of po-
litical conditions, declares he is now ready to
accept."
The resolutions invite comparison between
the record of the republican administration
now in power and the record of the demo-
cratic whioh preceded it. By tho results of
that comparison we are willing that tho merits
of tho two parties should bo decided. Believing
as we do tliat tho security of government, tho
prosperity of commerce and happiness of the
people can best be maintained by tho success
of the democratic party, we cordially pledgo
our untiring efforts to socure the election of
Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson.
Commissioner Peek Challenged.
New York, Sept. 9.—Tho democratic cam-
paign committee on literature this afternoon
decided to investigate the recent report of
Labor Commissioner Peck in view of the fact
that President Harrison made uso of it in his
letter of acceptance. Chairman Quincy of the
committee sent this letter to Commissioner
Peck;
"NewYork,Sept.9.—Hon. CharlesF. Peek :
In conformity with your offer as reported in
the press to submit methods and data em-
ployed by yourself in the preparation of your
report upon tho subject of The Effect of the
Tariff Upon Labor and Wages," of which a
summary has recently boen mado public, to
the examination of a committee representing
different political parties, I now ask you on
behalf of the democratic national committoo
to disclose these methods as fully as possible
to J. Schoenhof, E. E. Anderson and E. F.
McSweeney, who are authorized by us to ex-
amine this matter and report upon it to us."
Anderson was authorized to institute legal
proceedings by way of mandamus to compel
the production of the returns in Peck's pos-
session, and such proceedings are already on
foot.
Indiana Registration Unconstitutional.
Danville, Ind„ Sept. 9.—Judge Hadley has
decided the registration featuros of the elec-
tion law unconstitutional. His decision is
that the registration clnuse is class legislation,
imposing a burden upon one class of citizens.
The law is in conflict with the constitution in
that it does not allow a voter to change his
residence withiu sixty days, while tho consti-
tution allows him to move from precinct to
precimjt in thirty days. An appeal will bo
bo taken to the supreme court by defendants.
Colorado Republicans.
Pueblo, Col., Sept.!(.—The republican stnto
convention nominated J. C. Holm of the
supreme bench for governor; James M.
Downing of Aspen for lieutenant governor;

TRAIN ROBBERS.
They Btop a .Santa Fo Train, But Fail to
Get the Money.
Guthrie, Ok., Sept. 9.—The 11.10 south
bound passenger train on the Santa Fo was
late in arriving last night, owing to the fact it
was hold up by train robbers at Wharton, in
the Cherokee strip. The station is twenty
miles north of this city. The robbers had
their horses hitched near tho depot and, after
attempting to rob the train, remained thero
some time. Wharton is a little unprotected
station in the Cherokeo strip whero the tele-
graph operator was killed two years ago.
This is the third time trains have been held
up there. When the train arrived iu this city
nine bullet holes were counted on the west side
of tne express car. Conductor Kitching states
that when his train stopped to take water ho
walked down the track and was met by the
engineer and fireman with three other men.
Revolvers were leveled on him and tho rob-
bors went on until they reached the express
car, when they demanded admittance. They
wero refused by Messenger George Wagner.
The robbers then opened tire and a fusilade of
shots were fired. Warner and his assistant
stood their ground until they could put up a
job on tho robbers.
The engineer gives this account of the hold-
up: The train arrived at Wharton on time.
Throe men mounted tho'engine and ordered
Fireman Uos^ and Engineer Spoonaugh to
Btep down. Then they compelled Ross to ae-
compnny them to the cxpross car door and
told him to batter it down. When the iirst
blow was struck on tho door tho express mes-
senger fired through tho door. The fireman
stepped back, but tho men with cocked Win-
chesters again commanded him to continue
the work.
"For God's sake, boys, don't shoot, they
are making me do it," yelled tho fireman to
the messenger, and again his blows foil on the
door. It was soon felled and the robbers en-
tered at once and broke open the safe, but it
was empty. The express men had opened it
while tho door was being burst in and hid
most of the contents.
The robbers then paid their respects to tho
larger safe, but found it impossible to open.
Not being prepared to force it they backed
out and loft, taking with them ten baskets of
grapes as a trophy of the raid.
No effort was mado to rob passengers. One
robber was stationed at the rear of the car and
shot whenever a head appeared at a window.
Many shots were lirod by those in the express
car and those at tho rear of tho train.

Bold Attempt to Rob the Union Express
Office Yesterday.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 9.—A bold attempt
at robbing an express office occupied jointly
by the Wells-Fargo company, the Southern
express company and Texas express was mado
here about 4 o'clock this morning. The build-
ing runs through from Union to Perdido
streets, between St. Charles and Carondolefc
streets, being only a block from the St.
Charles hotel. It is customary at that hour
for wagons from tho ico factories to approach
tho rear door with shipments for early trains,
so when a knock was sounded on the door this
morning Private Watchman Creagh unhesi-
tatingly opened tho door.
He was confronted and immediately seized
by three masked men who wore slouched hats,
who placed a revolver to his head and knives
to his stomach, and under threat of instant
death ho was hustled inside, tiod with a ropo
and thrown in a chair. Watchman Creagh
succeeded in halloaing for assistance. Ho
was heard by Night Clerk Peck, who was at
the other end of tho building. As Peck came
up rapidly one of the thieves opened
fire and shot at Peck twice, but
without effect. They then became
frightened and ran. Patrolmen Barnos and
Thayer, who wero only around the corner on
St. Charles stroet, hearing shots hastened to-
ward the scone. They saw a man running to-
ward them and drawing their weapons arrested
him without his offering any resistance. He
proved to be John J. Clifford, a young man 22
yoars of age, a barkeeper by occupation, who
is only married ten days. When searched at
the station he was found to bo armed with a
44-caliber Colt. Clifford claims to bo inno-
cent ; that ho was passing the office at tho
time and hearing shots ran. Tho fact that
the young married man was wandering around
at that hour and also the rambling tale ho
told was unsatisfactory and causedChief Gaiter
to-day to hold Clifford for further investiga-
tion. The robbers mado good their escape,
evidently having tnken tho opposito direction.
From tiio fact that Clifford had on a derby hat
when arrested and tho thieves wore slouch hats
it is thought Clifford was posted as an outsido
watch.
Ladies' Work at Anderson.
Anderson, Tex., Sept. 9.—Last night at tho
home of Mrs. Lock McDaniel the people of
this little town enjoyed a delightful musical
and ico cream festival, gotten up by tho ladies
to raise money to do what tho last legislature
refused to do and what the men of Texas
have also failed to do, viz.: To have Texas
properly represented at tho world's fair. The
ladies taking most interest in the matter are
Mrs. Lock Me Daniel, lady alternate of the
world's fair, Mrs. Dr. Harris, Mrs. Franklin
Brigauce and Miss Grade Buftlngton. A neat
sum was realized and if every town in Texas
wili do as well in proportion to population the
glorious Lone Star state would show up well
at the great exposition beside the host of her
sister states.
The Navasota cornet band came up last
night on a moonlight excursion and livened
up the town with some lino music.

Alliance Men Dissatisfy' With Their Rep-
resentatives iu Congress—In the Futuw
They Will Toe the Mark.
Washington, Sopt [Special. 1—It lias
been developed this evening that a combina-
tion has been mado between the democrats and
alliance men 111 South Dakota. There is 110
doubt of this. As far as can be loarnod tho
deal is this: Tho hemocrats are to piace two
men on the electoral ticket with tho privilege
of changing them at any time beforo the elec-
tion, The Farmers' alliance people are to
have two men on the electoral ticket, South
Dakota being entitled to four votes in the
electoral college. Tho democrats are to sup-
port these two alliance men. The democrats
are to furnish campaign material, such as
speeches, etc.
The news received hero to-day is that Ne-
vada will surely go for Weaver. The demo-
crats aro not in the least disgruntled thereat.
Mr. Dunning, at the oftice of the Econo-
mist here, which seems to be tho Washington
headquarters of the third party people, an-
nounces his party as highly dissatisfied with
the way matters have gone in South Carolina.
He says the fight there is only a fight between
factions of the democratic party, aud that
neither side cares anything for the alliance.
He says that in the last congress Tom Watson
was the only man elected by the alliance who
stood up for that order, aud t hat heroaftor the
aliiance would have nothing more to do with
theso people who get in on alliance votes and
do nothing. He says that after this when a
innu is elected by tho alliance he will be an
alliance man sure enough.
