RECORD Ol' THE G. O. I.
The meeting of the Cooper insti-
tute Wednesday over which Groyer
Cleveland presided was a great suc-
cess. The fact that every faction of
the Democratic party in New
York was represented on the plat-
fuini indicates beyond all doubt
that tho New York Democracy will
bo a unit in the support of Flower.
Ex-President Cleveland in his open-
ing address said speaking of the
past history of the country :
"Wo saw the money of the people
unnecessarily extorted from them
under tho guise of taxation.
"We saw that this was tho result
of a scheme perpetuated for the pur
pose of exacting tribute from the
poor for the benefit oi the rich.
"We saw growing out of this
scheme tho wholesale debauchery
and corruption of the people whom
it impoverished.
"We saw a party which advocated
and defended this wrong gaining
and holding power in tne govern
ment by the shameless appeal to
selfishness which it invited.
"We saw tho people actually bur
nishing the bonds of misrepresenta
tion and misconception which held
them and we saw sordidness and
tho perversion of all that constitutes
good citizenship on every band and
sturdy Americanship in jeopardy.
"Wo saw a party planning to re-
tain partisan ascendancy by throt-
tling and destroying the freedom
and integrity of the suffrage through
the most radical rnd reckless legis-
lation. 'We saw waste and extravagance
raiding the public treasury and jus-
tified in official places while econo-
my in government expenditures was
ridiculed by those who held in trust
the people's money.
"Wo saw the national assemblage
c f t?e people's representatives trans-
formed to tho mere semblance of a
legislative assembly by the brute
force of a violently created majority
and by unprecedented arbitrary rul
ings while it was jcenngly declared
by those who usurped its functious
to be no longer a deliberative body."
This is a splendid characterization
of what the Republican party has
been doing In the past. The ex-
president deserves high praise for
the very able manner in which ho
placed tho wrong doing of tho party
before the public

The cry for deep water on the
coast has been answered at Yelasco
and m due course of time tier im-
portance as a deep water port will
bo felt all over Texas but it takes
time for her to prepare for the busi-
ness of a deep water port.
' "It there is a man in this audi-
ence" exclaimed Gov. Campbell in a
recent speech in Ohio 'svhose wages
havo been increased by the McKin-
ley bill let him stand up.' And no
man stood. There is no such man
in the United States of Ameria. Out
of 03000000 people there is not one
man who has realized the promises
of McKinley in one cent s addition
to the wages he is receiving though
millions of dollars have been added
to tho cost of the necessaries of life.
It is gratifying to note that Mr.
-Jay Gould looks for "a long period
of great prosperity in this country."
Jay does not have to worry over his
winter's coal quite as much as some
of ue and he could probably stand a
siege of hard times with as much equi-
"nimity as any man. But he is ono of
tne greatest hnanciers in tho world
and in this case it would seem safe to
gamble on his foresight. The abun-
dant harvest in this country will
find a. ready market in Europe
where the crop failures have been
disastrous.
Cokobessiiajt Mills about sized
up. the financial situation when he
said in his opening speech in Ohio
"jLieD us not ae deceived by super-
nciat appearances it is not the
scarcity of money in the country it
is the scarcity of money in the pock
ets of the people who earn it that
produces distress. If our circula
tion were to-day double what it is
nu it was an in tne pocxets oi a
hundred thousand people our con
dition would not be bettered but
it would be worso than it is. It is
not the small circulation it is the
. small distribution that plagues us."
There are now two vacancies on
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion"' and the judicial officers created
by the Appellate Court act remain
to be filled. It is understood that
ippointments will not be made to
tlieao offices .until after the meeting
of Congress. Tho President evident-
y does not think says Bradstreets
it prudent to name men for these
nosts while the Senate is not in ses-
sion because they would bo holding
the places without confirmation and
the chances of confirmation for any
of them might be rendered preca-
riouB by somo act done by them in
ho interval before the meeting of
.he Sonatt or their own performance
f .heir dunes might be influenced
me way or another by the considera-
ion of the probable effect of do-
:lMons of theirs on their chances of
confirmation.
Since the bureau report last week
cotton has declined half a cent per
pound and the -low prices prevailing
has had a tendency to decrease the
receipts here. Mr. Wm. Axer who
is at the head of the McFaddeh
agency bylar the largest purchasers
here already having bought con-
siderably nioro than twenty thous-
and ..bales says that he sees no
chance for good prices to prevail any
time this season; basing his opinion
on the reports which estimate the
crop at seven and three quarter mil
lion bales while the estimate for
the world's consumption is estimated
by Ellison of Liverpool an authority
on the estimate for consumption at
seven and a quarter million bales
while there is a surplus of three-
quarters of a million bales of the
last crop still on hand and a sur-
plus not-needed for consumption.
Considerable sandy cotton has
been coming to this market and
when sold brings about one cent
less than its market value on account
of tho sand. Some of the cotton
buyers don't want it all and wdl
not buy except at this great reduc
tion in price. The reason of the
sand is the old style gins without
condensors which are getting scarce
through tne country now.
