STRAUSS DECLINES
To Accept Tammany’s Nomination for
Mayor of New York.
A New York special Bays: The big¬
gest sensation of a campaign that has
been replete with them was sprung
Friday hy Mr. Nathan Strauss, who
briefly, but with emphasis which
meaut that coaxing would do no good,
declined Tammany’s nomination for
the mayoralty.
Though the possibility of such an
act had been talked of in political cir
cles, but little credence was given itbv
the general public. The aspect of a
man, after having virtually accepted
the most prominent office in tha gift
of the people of New. York, declining
that fioiuination, was so unique that
most people heard the rumors and
simply laughed at them. Friday morn
ing, however, the prophets did the laugh
ing. At about 10:30 o’clock Mr. Strauss
sent his letter of declination to the
Tammany executive committee. All
day the big eight wrestled with the
problem of successorship, aud wrestled
with Hugh Grant, for the members of
the committee were of one mind in
their desire to have the ex-sheriff and
ex-mayor become the organization’s
candidate.
Hr OH GRANT THE MAN.
Grant wasn’t a bit anxious to have an
honor which, under the circumstances,
is a dubious honor at best, but after
much persuasion he submitted the
terms and conditions under which he
would accept the nomination, and
these were promptly acceded to by the
authorized representatives of the great
organization.

A CRANK AFTER GROVER.
He Called at the House Where Mr.
Cleveland Was Stopping.
A New York special says: A crank,
and one of note,called Thursday morn¬
ing on Joseph Bryant, at 54 TS est.
Thirty-sixth street, where 1 resident.
Cleveland is stopping, and demanded
to see the president. The man s name
is Richard Geordeler, of 414 W est
Fifty-seventh street. the crank who,
Geordeler is same
some years ago, wrote to Emperor
William of Germany, calling him to a
duel.
Geordeler went up to Dr. Brvanfs
house about 9 o'clock. He rang the
door bell violently, aud whea the but
ler responded, d'emanded to 6e© the
president, The butler told him quiet¬
ly but firmly that the president could
not be seen.
“But it is business of extreme
national importance, - ' exclaimed the
crank.
This brought Dr. Bryant to the
door. The doctor has a smooth and
determined way that in this instance
stood him in good stead, He resson
ed with Crank Geordeler and told him
that it was impossible to see the presi¬
dent at that hour. Geordeler was fin¬
ally argued iuto going away,

According to Commodore Chadwick,
chief of the bureau of naval equip¬
ment. the coal hills of the navy are
steadily increasing, owing to the great
er consumption of coal by modern ves
sels. J lie annual report of the bureau
shows that there will be a deficiency of
$30,000 in the appropriation for equip
meat, owing to the fact that $191,291
more was expended for coal in the
jiast year than in tlie year previous.
President Cleveland and family ar
rived at Washington Thursday night
over the Pennsylvania railroad. Pri
vate Secretary Thnrber had two ear
rirtges in waiting for the party, and
they wero driven to the executive
siou, which has been thoroughly reno
nated during their absence. Two pri¬
vate detectives walked, one on each
side of the president, guarding him
closely, to jirevent any such advance
as that made by the crank at Dr. Bry¬
ant’s house in New York.
At the present ratio existing be*
tween the treasury receipts and ex*
pendituree, the indications point to a
deficit for the month of October of
seven millions in ordinary expenses
and of five millions in interest or a
total of $12,000,000 for the month
over and above receipts. This will
bring the excess of expen ditur.es Sf f^ over

period of last year tho excess was
$29,000,000.

to make Key West a coaling sta
tion sufficiently large to accomodate
the ships cruising in its vicin

sea is expensive, and it is Secretary
Herbert's intention hereafter to have
our ships take coal as far as possible at

Secretary Carlisle has made public
the decision of the attorney-general on
the question as to whether counties
have the right to issue interest-bearing
bonds of small denominations for gen¬
eral circulation. The attorney-general
says:
“I have yours of the 17th instant, in
you request my opinion on the
q Ues tion whether the proposed issue of
interest-bearing bonds by the county
commissioners of Floyd county, Ga.,
be in conflict with the banking
] aW3 D f the United States. You en
close the opinion of the solicitor to the
e jj ec t that such issue, if made, will not
conflict with the banking laws of the
United States, and, for the reasons
given by the solicitor, I concur in that
conclusion,
“As to the question whether such
bonds, if issued, will be subject to
taxation under sections 19 and 20 of
the act of February 18, 1875, does not
arise upon any facts now existing and
is one upon which my opinion is not
asked. I express no opinion respect
ing it.”
The decision does not pass upon the
question whether such bonds, if issued,
will be subjeet to the 10 per eent. tax
on currency, It is understood, how
ever, that Secretary Carlisle holds
that they will be subject to this taxa¬
tion iu like manner as the issue of
he has the support of the law officers
of the government.

K. G. Duu & Co.'s Report of Business
for the Past Week.
“Cotton below 6 cents and wheat be¬
low 55 cents, each lower than ever,
since present classifications were known
with the exports of gold, instead of
products at such low prices in October
are the salient features in business this
week . Distribution of goods to con
sam ers goes on fairy at gains at near¬
iy all points in comparison with last
year, but not yet at a rate to sustain
the present volume of manufacturing
production, so that prices weaken a lit
tie. With many features of gneour
agement, businoss has not yet answer
ered expectations and it is evident that
the Joss of part of the corn crop, and
tlie unnaturally low prices of other
great staples, affect the buying power
millions,
“Domestic exports from New York
in t* 0 weeks of October were 18 per
cent, less iu value than last year, while
the increase in the value of imports
has been 27 per cent. Much of the
decrease in exports is in price, but in
August and September the quantity of
wheat decreased over a third. Pro¬
visions and cotton gained, but oil de¬
creased, and in minor products exports
in September declined 16 per cent.
The increase in imports exclusive of
sugar was over 35 per cent, in Sep

at New York over 13 per cent. With

“The dry goods business and textile

Wholesale and then retail stocks have
been replenished, and business waits
for retail sales, whiah are as yet lower
than was expected. In cotton goods
the new business has been narrow* and

A C0MB1X E WANTED
WHEREBY FARMERS MAY DIC¬
TATE THE PRICE OF COTTON.
Letter from John RoiUley to Southern
Colton Planters.
The Columbia, S. C,, State prints
the following from John T. Rodder,
member of the New York cotton ex¬
change and a son of a wealthy South
Carolinian, He has for some time
been advocating some concerted action
by southern farmers:
To the thinking farmers of the south
—For the past two years I have made
cotton commissions ray business, and
daily have I witnessed the downward
tendency of your product. If yen will
think for a moment, you will realize
the fact that though yon are the pro¬
ducers of this country and should be
the most independent, yet you are the
most dependent people in America.
“Why? Because there are combi¬
nations on nearly everything you use.
The manufacturers of the north com¬
bine on everything and say what it
shall bring, while you sell your prod¬
uct for whatever they are willing to
pay you. Why cannot you protect
your cotton in the same way?
“I should like, if it meets your ap¬
proval, to organize a trust company
called the Southern Farmers’ Trust
Company, for the purpose of protect¬
ing your product from the depressing
influences of speculators, spinners and
capitalists, and provide a means by
which you can name the price for your
product, instead of having the price
dictated to you, as is now the case, I
feel satisfied this can be done by form¬
ing a trust, which would be able to
handle most of the cotton you g row.
“Let the capital stock be $50,000,
000 to $100,000,000, subscribed en¬
tirely by the farmers of tte south and
divided into as many shares ns may be
necessary and small enough for every
cotton planter to subscribe. Let each
farmer take stock to his utmost capac¬
ity and support the trust in every pos¬
sible way.
“In case you receive 10 cents for
your cotton, instead of 5 cents, which
you are now receiving, you save on a
crop of 8,000,000 bales about $200,
000,000, at least twice as much as the
capital stock of the trust company. In
case speculator 0 , should become fright¬
ened even at the mention of the trust
and advance the price of cotton, so
much the better for you, but very like¬
ly they would attempt at first to bluff
you.
“I think it is now time to act.
What benefits the farmer or laborer
unquestionably benefits all classes. If
such a plan should meet your ap¬
proval, I would be more than glad to
meet a representative cotton grower
from each state or alliance, either in
New York or in some southern city, to
see if something cannot be done to
bring about some benefit to the south.
Something must be done or your lands
will not be w*orth cultivating.
John T. Roddey.”
The'
whose mills are at the falis^x NouseE
has purchased the plant of the South
Fork paper mills, at Lincolnton, and
it will be at once brought here, making
the Raleigh mills among tho largest in
the south.
