Mostgomkuy. Ala., November 18.? ;
The Kolbite eonvention assembled |
here yesterday hut instead of meeting
at U?e capitol boildinn as previously at- j
ranged with Governor .lones, it met in
one of the locnl theaters. This is prob* i
ably because Governor .lones told those j
who i'nmn ?<> *1

vacate the house of representatives'
hall by 10 o'clock last night in order
tlint it might be (gotten in readiness for ( ;
the state assembly, wliieh meets today. !
The populists evidently intended to
hold longer than one day s session. '
Whether they intend to organize a sep- ! !
arate legislature is not plain. There 1
had been some talk that they would !
attempt to keep possession of the house 1 1
of representatives hall, but the meeting 1
at the theater disposes of any proirram *
of that sort. The meeting yesterday *
was taken up with a speech by P. t?. 0
Itowman. of Hirminghnm. chairman of j
the populite party committee, in which 1
lie denounced ballotbox frauds. So far 1
lotliing of importance has transpired. T
The Tarty Keclirlnteneil. 11
At 7 o'clock last night the Koih con E
mention re-assembled and while awaitng
the report of the committee on res- T
dutions, an extended and heated
vrnngle arose over the question of rehristening
the party, whieh in a par- SJ
ial report from the special committee a
n the afternoon hud been dubbed, the "
copies and JetTcrsonian party. The i S1
esult of the evening argument was the |
rlping out of the Jelfersonian part. 1,1
nd the convention of the Jeffersoians
and populists, resolved them- "
elves into the national peoples' party. or
It was after o'clock when Chairman w
Y. II. Skaggs, of the committee on u
^solutions was yielded the stage and 1
egan the reading of a quite volumnous sa
port whieh began by congratulating ur
ic people of Alabama on the recent
spun)u>an victories in other states and 't
ien took np the subject of alleged H:
box stuffing1. The report stated un
at the committee had at hand iuu?l* -V"

At this juncture Dr. Crowe, of IVrr.v to'
mnty, in an excited manner passed up o
id down the theatre isle and declared
lat he should bo seated even if bloodted
were necessary and that Decern- g|
er first the people (populists and reublicans)
should meet in Montgomery <-'1
nd that if the state military intefered
ith them there would be enough men
n hand to handle them. These revol- 11
tionary statements were backed up in lb
tout talks by a number of men. until fo
knggs finally resumed the reading of title
report which went on to say that si)
lie evidence was at hand to prove the Di
raudulent election of (lovernor-Hleet ei
*ates and that if the legislature did not da
ight the wrong, the federal congress C?
vouhl be called upon and a force bill 111
lemanded if necessary. After reading ti
he resolutions. Skaggs spoke for two li

Nkw Yoiik, November 10.?llradstreets
says: Interest in the election
this week naturally tended to restrict
the volume of trstdc. particularly the
south, where it interfere*! with mercantile
collections. Hut within a few days
the influence of more seasonable
weather west and northwest, together
with the emphasis with which political
questions have apparently been settled,
have increased the confidence of many
merchants and manufacturers in a prospect
for an increased rate of improvement
in general trade in the near future.
Charleston lumltermen report a fair
business but in other lines there is no
change. Similar conditions prevail at
Memphis, but at Nashville there is
more activity in the general lines, notably
in receipt of California canned
goods. The only material effect of the
election excitement on business is delayed
collections. There is n seasonnblt'
lli'livilv i?? " *
... ^.iivuu at ai la ilia.
At Chattanooga and llirminjfhnm, rather
more activity is observed in business
,'ireles while collections Were fairly satisfactory.
Wholesale and retail houses
it Jacksonville report trade fairly satsfuetory
for the season but at Savanlah
there is no special change. except
hat collections are satisfactory. Augusta's
report is similar, except as to
collections, which are slow. At New
Irleans rather more of a cheek to busness
is noted, due to interest in the
lections, but increased activity is exacted
soon. At Galveston trade is dull
a all lines.

and each one in turn sjiile<\ into the old ,
man rough-shod. Kadi man declared s
himself a true believer in the party ^
principles, but that henceforth he j
wanted to hear no more from the man t
for whom they were sacrificed. I.afe r
Pence, congressman from the first dis- i
trict, was the principal speaker. Jle x
denounced the governor and his fol- j
lowing in unmeasured terms, telling
him to get himself off into the wilder- s
11 ess us soon as possible after January v
1st, and there bury himself from the v
sight of men. "We want no more long- ?

warmth." and the quicker you and your f,

The conservatives were so forcible that

this conference it was decided to abandon

Named ih the Assignee.
Pksbacola, Kla.. November II.?The
Export Coal company has made an assignment
to I'. C. Itrent. president of
the First National hank, for the benefit
of its creditors. The course was agreed
upon at the meeting of the board of
directors held in this city several days
ago, and the papers were filed in the
oftiee of the county clerk on Wednes- I
duy. The object of the assignment is I
co place in the hands of the assignee
all of the company'* property to be di?
rided among its creditors according to
their various demand. Mr. Krent has
accepted the position of the assignee
and yesterday filed his bond, lie was
seen shortly afterwards and in response
to an inquiry stated that the
cash value of the company's assets was ^
?bout 8130,000, and flint the liabilities j
ire a little in excess of the assets, lie ;
further stated that the company .
lopes to bo able to pay out in full, and j
hat he will endeavor to sell the plant i
is quickly as possible, lie bad an offer !
or the entire plant yesterday which he |
vas compelled to decline. In the menn- ;
ime, as assignee, lie will continue to j
ill the company's old eon tracts, and
ays he has reason to believe that there
rill be no cessation of business. It is
cell understood here that the assignlent
means the organization of anew
oinpany to take the place of the old
ne, and the business of exporting coal
rom this port will, in tile future, be
inducted on a much larger scale than ;

i:\HKrrHtrd anil Ilie Crop I.lmlted.
t Cna ui.kston, K. C., November 13.?
AVitli a view to finding out just how
much credit was to be givon to the Recently
published statement of the present
cotton crop of 10,000,000 bales and
to put before its readers a trustworthy
and intelligent statement of the cotton
situation at the present time, the News
and Courier applied to Mr. Alfred II.
Shepperson. of New Y??rl* "
- .?>v UV?1"
known cotton statistician and has received
the following very lucid and satisfactory
reply:
Cotton declined Ufa in yesterday. chiefly, I
understand, upon a crop estimate just Issued
by Mr. Kcill. <?f Mew Orleans, that the crop will
be over ten millions of hales. The crop is undoubtedly
;i hi me one, 1 ut I confess thut 1 am
unable to see any has . of such a larfc estimate.
The hirirest crop ever prowu in this
country was that which was grown In 1SW.
The yield of that crop was probably nine million,
two hundred thousand bales. The commercial
crop of that season was K.674.1I0U bales
and the difference between this and the quantity
which 1 have ttiven as the probable yield
| was marketed In the following season.
There is no evidence /hatever. to prove that
the acreage of the crop now being marketed
was any larger than that of the crop of
IWO-'.M. nor is there any evidence, to my mind
at least, that the weather conditions have been ?
more favorable thi< year titan in IHpu. I am ut
a loss, therefore, to understand to what cntise
or causes can be reasonably attributed u ytold
so much in excess of the monster crop of lsiK).
? ? *
There can he no question that unless tho
price advances very greatly by the t'me for '
planting the next crop t \at the acreage devoted
to cotton will be reduced to an extent that It
never lias been curtailed before, from one year
to another. So front a reduction in acreage
would cause laeyond doubt an advance as great
and as rapid as the decline has been."
