Premium Farms in wisconsin.

The Wisconsin State Agricultural Society appoint
ed three competent persons as a Committee to exam
inc farms offered for premiums These gentlemen
Messrs. BENZ. FERGUSON, B. r. HIxLEY and Dawn
ATwooD-in pursuance of their object travelled over
large portion of the State and observed particu-
lary the condition of the crops In their report to
Mr.. j. w. HOYT, Secretary of the Society they make
use of the following language:
almost without exception the crops were better
in quality than we had anticipated and the auanti
ty, the area, perfectly astonishing proving be-
yond question that the stringency of the times
during the past three years, in addition to all the
economical virtues they may have developed, have
likewise served as powerful stimulus to the ener-
gies and enterprise Of our farmers.
AS TO the quality of wheat grown, after numer.
Gus calculations based upon data quite as reliable az
ordinary statistical tables feel warranted in es-
timating the number of acres the present year at
one-third more than the crop of 80 and the aver
age yield per at less than one fifth greater
than in so and 81. If these premises be correct
by the cid of the statistics offOPmer years we ar
rive at the inevitable conclusion that the heat croD
in Wisconsin must equal ,062, O96 acres with a
yield of 22.3O4 037 bushels! So that after dudue-
ing the odd hundreds of thousands for loss in har-
Vestlng and for possible exceptional crops in Ioca
ties concerning which we wanting in definite in
formation, we may safely reckon the gathered pro-
duce at toenty tl1O millions of bushels! an amount
with which we may feed the entire population for
the year, and have surplus of seventeen millions
for expectation; which at probable prices will Weld
a revenue of at least twelve millions of dollars

the election of the Know Nothing candidate for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals The returns re-
ceived indicate that the vote in the State will fall
nearly forty thousand short of the vote cast last
summer for Governor. Gen'l. COMBS will not re-
ceive so large a vote by as BELL, the Oppo-

was defeated by Gov. MAGoFFIN by nearly nine thou

The Kansas.NebraSEa Biu in 1888.


! How was the Kansas Nebraska ILL understood in
1856? If it understood to be an assertion of the
power OF the inhabitants of Territory while il
Territorial condition, to exclude slavery by lawful
means. then MIR. Buchanan elected with the I'M
derstandIng that he was a Squatter Sovereignty
platform, and Mr.. Douglas stands where Mr.. Bu-
chanan was then believed to stand. If on the con-
trary, it then understood to mean that it is
only when they come to form State Constitution
that the inhabitants of Territory can so exclude
slave property. then Mr.. Buchanan was not elected
on Squatter Sovereignty platform, Mr. Douglas is
not justified in his on the President and those
who then supported the Democratic candidate will
stuly themselves in voting for candidates who re-
pudlate that construction of the Kansas bill and op-
pose the doctrine contained in it.
What construction, then, was put on the bill? The
Know Nothngs IN this State all agree with the Doug
astes in maintaining that was understood to mean
Squatter Sovereignty.
With such, we presume Mr.. John Bell is good au-
thOrity. In speech in the United States Senate
February 24th 1885, (see Cong. Globe, LIST ses 35th
Congress vol. Sc, part l, page S32, } he saws:

the people OF the State of Tennessee began to have

The LINCOLN AND BELL MEN N ST. LoUIs.-We have
already called attention to the fact that GARDENHE,
the Black Republican candidate for Governor in
Missouri wrote letter calling upon his friends to
vote for ORR, the BELL candidate. The vote in st.
Louis for Congress full term) and for Governor is
quite suggestive. BLAIR, the Black Republican can
didate for the long term in Congress gets II ,45S
GARDENHIRE, the Black Republican candidate for
Governor gets only 3,2l5. There being a difference
in the vote of the Black Republican candidates for
Governor and member of Congress of S,23S ORR,
the BELL candidate for Governor gets r. 457 votes
and ToDD the BELL candidate for Congress, receives
Asp 9l5 less than the candidate of the par
ty. How are we to account for this great difference
in the vote of candidates of the party unless
there was an understanding that the Black Repub-
licans to vote for the BELL candidate for Gov
ernor, and the BELL men were to vote for the Black
Republican candidate for Congress

Kentucky Politics.

CYNTHIANA, Ky, Aug TO- ISGO,-The Democratic
party have been defeated for day. by the CONSOLE
dation of the Abolition, Douglas and American
Nothing champion of Kentucky. The allied force
of the enemies of the South and the Democratic
party were his supporters. Mr.. Combs is elected
by, apparently. an overwhelming majority. Can
the Democrats carry the State for Breckenridge in
November, is the question. The Know Nothings
claim that Douglas will get $4,000 votes the Adolf
ton strength will be nearly lOOO and the personal
popularity of Combs outside of the party is not
less than 6 or 5000 more, which will make a total
of some 20 or % 900 votes which is about the Know
Nothing majority. The Breckenridge men, although
defeated, are not disheartened. They are going to
work with double zeal and energy and with the de-
termination to conquer. Old Harrison will be

A PITIFUL FAL sEHOOD.-We learn that rumor

that the Union party, members of the party have
threatened to pelt Mr.. Yancey with rotten eggs fhe
should make speech in Nashville 1t is hardly
necessary 10 say that no such threat has been
made, and that the rumor of such threat has been
set aflOat for party purposes. Mr.. Yancey could
speak here thousand times without receiving the
slightest discOurtesy from any member of the Unicn
party.
This way the Democracy have of attempting to
accomplish their purposes by such underhanded
schemes is unworthy of any party. 1t is contempt
ibe. If they are not able make fair fight in this
contest they ought to sell out to party that is

The DIFFERENCE The Patriot says Col. j. G.
PICKETT one of the BELL speakers at Huntsville,
That may be- but there is a difference between
speaking and voting. No one knows better than Mr..
BELL that man may speak one way and vote anoth-
er. So although Col. PICKETT may speak for Mr..
BELL it does not necessarily follow that Col PICKETT
will vote for hun. In 1857, when the estima-
Bile Colonel was candidate for Congress against
JNO. II. SAVAGE, who voted for the Compensation
bill, the Colonel again and again declared he would
not vote for JOHN BELL for any office in the gift of
the people from constable up" Mr.. BELL it will
be remembered not only voted for the Compensation
BILL but voted against striking Od thatporton which
gave the increased pay to the then members of Con-
gress from the beginning of that session.

SOLDIERS OF THE LATE MEXICAN WAR, ATTENTION.
Whereas, it Is acknowledged by all who are con-
versant with the condition of public affairs that we
are IN the midst of perilous political crisis and
whereas, it is less patriotic duty in the times of
peace to protect the institutions of our beloved
country the ballot box than to defend the honor
of her flag on the battle field and whereas more
over, we find IN the present struggle for power
purely sectional party striving for sectional domi-
nation to the destruction Of the equality of States
under the Constitution. some of whose prominent
leaders achieved Immortality of infamy" dur
ing the late glorious war with Mexico by lend
irg moral aid and comfort to our enemies, and
whose candidate for the Presidency was willing to
refuse the necessary military supplies gallant
little army, then IN an enemy country therefore
we consider 1t imperative duty to oppose BY all
honorable means, the success OF a faction SO dan
gerOus, a candidate so unpatriOtc and believing
that the Opposition can be rendered most effective
under the lead of those tried patriots and states
men, and gallant soldiers, John G. Breckenridge of
Kentucky, and Joseph Lane, of Oregon who shared
our tolls and triumphs in the field. while such men
as Lincoln and COrwIn were exhibiting factious
Opposition to the in Congress, we invite our
fellow soldiers Of every grade, who served in Mex
leo, to join us in the formation of Soldiers Pat
riotic Club" and to and in the establishment of SIM
liar Clubs throughout the Union. Fellow soldiers
