DEnooRArIo TAcrIos.-Csri shur.. In . re-

riety Of influence the Democratic party could
bring to bear on the "greenhorn" voter;
"They are like gang Of sharpen, q you sec

such they take the American people to Be. How

with complete success, and know ofmany
others who have tried IL with like success.
The first cause ofrotiing is planting them
in ground that has been stripped Of the ma

position. The second cause Is wrong man

will mention two instances among
many, for example. Two farmers. whose
land joined, planted the Mercer potato for
New York market. Both plowed in yard
manures. One plowed deep, planted on
mellow bottom and covered good depth,
keeping the roots moist at even tempera-
ture. When the rain came, il carried the
fertility Of the earth with il to the roots,
and even down below, attracting the roots
downward. This man always had sound
seed to plant, sound seed to dig, and large
crops, year AFTER year.
The other plowed very shallow. dug
holes 10 hard ground, covered very shallow
One Of the greatest errors In planting
potatoes. When the rain come Il flooded the
potatoes, but did not readily pass OIL. His
seed was always dstempered, and he lost
large quantities every year.
One thing is certain, potatoes cannot
grow in mud. Forty years ago, ] planted
plat by a river side. They came up finely
hut when the potatoes were the size OF a
hens egg, there came an extraordinary
Hood. and oycrfiowcd them for two hours.
The next day there was not sound tuber
in the plat. Once neighbor came to me
To see &c my potatoes were rotiing. told
him they were not. lie said his were half

with the subsoil near the surface. IL was

One John A. McClernsnd figured quite ex-
tensively in the "Soldisrs and Sailors" Conven-
ton In New York In denouncing Gen. Grant,
and Delegate In the other convention claimed
for McClernand the entire honor Of the capture
Of vicksburg, and that he was far greater mil
itary hero than the Republican candidate !!
Perhaps Netherlands hostility to Grant may
b accounted for by reading the following from
Dana's Life Of Gen. Grant:
"Immodately amer the assault Of May -, lss, tvieks
bursl McCiernand Issued bombostic order Of congratu-
Ison to his command, claiming M them most IL the hon
orr Of the campaign And indirectly csnsurng Grant, and
casting unjust reflections upon Sherman and McPhenoa

Gen. John L. Swirl Of Massachusetts, who
stumped this District in 1866 for Sweat, has
got enough Of tho Ooppcrhead party, and now
supports Grant and Colfax. At meeting in
wstertown on Thursday evening he commenced
his speech by saying he was now . volunteer In
the army who were enrolled under the banner Of
Grant and ColfaI. He had found that he had
either to swallow the Democratic nominations at
New York or act with the Republicans. lie
had concluded upon tho latter course, and In
tended to stick. and he only asked to be taken
back within the folds Of the Republican party.

The Democratic convention for this Congress-
ional district Is TO be held at Biddeford ON the
4th Of August. There arc half dozen persons
In this county who have been dieting for the
nomination, but they stand no chance Of suo-
cceding because they have no horn to blow In
their behalf, like our biographical Brother Of
the Dsmoer rat. even II his Is 6sh-horn. We
sometime since heard It stated that Mr.. Vim. p.
Haines Of this city would be nominated and
would accept. 'Its Of no consequence" who
