“ Tbe Rochester (X. V.) Union
publishes tbe names of sixty-two
Itepnblicans in that olty who de
clare their intention to vote for
Cleveland and Hendricks. Among
their number are twenty-seven bus
iness and professional men.
Since cx-Attorney General Speed,
ol Kentucky, the only surviving
member of Lincoln’s Cabinet, has
deolared for Cleveland, the plumed
knigbt may cease to talk about
tbe traditions of the grand old par
ty." ' *
The Democrats are organizing
lor a strong and hopeful fight in
Logan’s State as well as Blaine’s.
The Republicans catried Illinois
by a moagre majority at tbe last
State election, and the Democrats
claim that they have made gaius
since that time.
The Republicans are said to
have many misgivings about Ohio.
The Democrats confidently claim
15,000 to 20,000 majority, and say
it is certain that the men who
‘bolted the Republican party last
year have not returned to it and
never will return.
Tbe million dollar bid of l)r. R
H. McDonald, of California, for tbo
Prohibition nomination for the
Presidency appears to have been a
shrewd advertising dodge, with
wbioh tbe convention was not very
favorably impressed. It Is said
that his wires worked very nicely
until it got to be generally known
that he was the proprietor of a cer
tain nostrum known as “Vinegar
Ritters,” which is ten times more
bitter than lagor beer, and which,
unfortunately lor its popularity, Is
not intoxicating, though it Is said
to contain a trace of alcohol.

The Chronicle's cottou article of
July 25th furnishes the following
facts relative to the movement of
the crop for the past week:
For tho week endiug July 25th,
tbe total receipts have reached 2,
800 bales against 8,810 bales last
week, 1,518 bales the previous week
and 4,055 bales three weeks since,
making the total receipts since the
1st Septcmbor, 1888, 4,801,484
bales, against 5,933,490 bales for
tbe samo period of 1882-83, show
ing a decrease since September 1,
1883, of 1,132,000 bales.
At all tho interior towns the re
ceipts lor the week have been 991
bales, since September 2,853,904
halos For tho corresponding dates
of last year the receipts were 5,380
bales for the week and 3,509,333
bales for the season. These figures
show a decrease for the week of 4,-
403 bales, and for the season a full
ing oil of 115,314 balos.
Taking the receipts from planta
tions, tho net overland movement
to July 1, and also the takings by
Southern spinners to tho same
date, tbo total visible supply be-
comes 5,043,063 bales, n falling olf
as compared with last year ol 1,-
291,209 balos.
Tbe imports into continental

as follows: To Great Britain 11,-
440, to'Francc 940, and 2,192 to
the rest of the continent.
Tho Chroutole says, speakiug of
the fluctuations: “Ou Monday the
early months dosed lower, while
the next crop was dearer. On
Tuesday a general decline took
place. On Wednesday the 'next
crop was more active and slightly
dearer. Houston reported the
receipt of a bale of new cotton.
Yesterday there was a demand to
cover contracts which caused a
general advance sad a steady clos
ing. To-day the opening was
weak under the appearance of many
notices for delivery on August
contracts, but as these were readi
ly absorbed an advance set in
which showed buoyancy in the
later dealings. As compared with
last Friday the latest figures are
1 tq 10 points dearer for the next.
To-day business was quiet and
prices unchanged, middling up
lands dosing at 11 cents. - I

One of tho largest Democratic
conventions ever held in Lee coun
ty assembled at Leesburg to select
a man to present to the Tenth Sen

Albany next Tuesday, and also to
nominate a candidate lor Repres:

The two leading candidates in
tne Senatorial race were Messrs.
J. W. Forresternnd G. W. Warwick
When the convention met yester
day Mr. Forrester rose, and, iu a
few well-chosen remarks, withdrew
from the contest, vory much against
the wishes ofhis friends, who were
confident of his nomination.
A motion was then made to nomi
nate Mr. Warwick by acclamation,
but it did not prevail. Mr. II. L.
Long was then put in nomination,
and the convention proceeded to

nomination of Mr. Long by a vote
of 114 to 92. Mr. Long’s nomin
ation was then made unanimous.
Mr. W. C! Gill was nominated
for Representative.
The choice of Mr. Long by tbe
Democracy of Lee virtually makes
him the nominee of the district con
vention which meets next Tuesday.
Under the rotation system, which
has been adhered to heretofore, it
is Lee county’s time to name the
nominee, and Mr. Long will no
doubt be nominated by acclamation
when his county present; his name
to the district convention.
Mr. Long is one of the most in
telligent and progressive fanners
in this section, and will make •
good Senator.
