WHEAT AND GOLD VERY Low
The Chicago Journal of Thursday
says "Owing to the rapid accumu-
lation in wheat at this and other
points, and the near approach of the
close of navigation, together with
the fact that the New York market
is well supplied, and that the supply
in Europe is large, the price of that
cereal is lower now than it has been
for a number Of years. The price
to-day ranges from 85@87c for No.
2 Spring, gold also is lower now than
it has been since 1866" being quoted
to-day at 1.264.

The RESULT IN THIS STATE.-The
Wisconsin claims that the Republican
State ticket has about 5000 majority
and says:
To carry the State by even SO
large majority as that of tv o years
ago (4,764) is an achievement of
which the Republicans may we'll feel
proud for never did the opposition
resort to so desperate attempts to
prejudice the people against the Re-
publican party and the men that it
has placed in power. Perversion of
facts, SANDER and outright lying
were the chief, and indeed almost the
only reliance of the Democracy
throughout the canvass. Anything
like a straightforward legitimate ar,
gument was seldom attempted.
To have won, under such circums-
tances shows that the people, ma
jority of them at least, fully under
stand the meanness and injustice of
the Democracy, and have an abiding
faith in tho principles and integrity
of the Republican party.

Capital Removal-A Candid Opinion
from General Sherman.

General Sherman has written a
letter TO the editor of the st. Louis
Republican, expressing his views on
the subject of the capital removal,
and in explanation of speech attrib-
uted to him at a supper party in
Washington. The General saws what
he did say in that speech was that he
preferred residence in st. Louis to
one in Washington, because it was a
city full of life, commerce and manu-
facture, instead of a mere place of
office routine. He then goes on as
follows, as to what he Greatly thinks"
of capital removal:
"ln my Judgement, the capital of
the United States, if removed to the
Valley of the Mississippi, within the
next twenty years, will not go to
St. Louis, Cincinnati or Chicago, be-
cause neither of these cities would or
should surrender the exclusive iuris-
diction necessary for the National
Capital. To-day. neither you nor
any other citizen of ST. Louis would
consent, nor would the State of Mis-
souri, consent, to give up ST. Louis
county to the absolute jurisdiction of
Congress. You might agree to have
the capital at Carondelet, or on the
Jefferson Barracks tract Lelow the
Des Pores but that is not St. Louis,
and it would necessitate the building
of not only vast fire-proof buildings
TOR the government offices, but the
hotels, stores, houses, &C., for the
persons connected with the public
service. In my opinion, if the CAPT
tai is removed from Washington to
the West, a new place will be chosen
on the Mississippi river several hun
dred miles above St. Louis, and the
stobeimmediately benefited are
willing to make use of your st. Louis
Influences TO get the idea started
have interests in ST. Louis. and. il
allowed to vote on this question,
would vote against surrendering st
Louis city and county, with its vast
commercial and manufacturing inter.
ests, to the exclusive jurisdiction Of
a Congress that would make these
interests subordinate to the mere
political uses Of Federal Capital
Nor would any National Congress
make the Capital where it had moi
exclusive and absolute Jurisdiction
for its own protection and that O
employees of the Government
Therefore, if the Capital be removed
at all, 1T must go to place willing
to surrender its former charac ter anC
