After looking the ground over care
fully, we feel it our duty to give our
views on the political situation in
the county, for the Information, at
least of the Office seekers. We have
announced the number of candidates
for State Senator, and after looking
the matter over carefully and weigh
ing the merits of the candidates, we
have come to but one conclusion,
based as we believe upon the facts In
the case, and upon the Information
at our disposal, viz: that Is: to-wit !:
AS there IL but one candidate to be
chosen. and as Grundy is now part
of the 3sth Senatorial District, in all
probability when the ballots are
counted, there will be forty.six de-
feated, provided, let 1t be understood,
that we are correct in the count, and
that there are forty-seven candidates
now in the field.
The office of Representative not
being so important, we have been
unable to count up but twenty four,
who would without any hesitation or
mental reserva ton, throw them
selves upon the altar of their coun~
try and allow their names to be used
as candidates. There being two to
be chosen, leaves the field more en-
couraging. and IL we were at liberty
to predict. we should state unhesitat-
ingly, from the best of authority al
hand that, being but two to be chosen,
and twenty-four candidates in the
field, there will only be t,0enty-twc
defeated.
The next office of interest i'm the coun.
ty is Sheriff, for which we have moi
been able to learn of but nine candi-
dates. The disadvantage of but one
Sheriff to be chosen, leaves the mat
ter In great doubt, but we think
there will not be over eight candi.
dates defeated for this office.
We make these statements in jus.
tice to those interested and because
we desire that the political atmos.
phere may not be so foggy as It has
appeared to casual observer. We
make no hesitation in re-affirming
the correctness Of these views on the
situation, and the public may there.
fore govern themselves accordingly.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Gr w. Maxwell, Of New Hartford,
Meets With n Close Call.

q. w. Maxwell, of New Hartford,
deals in stock. Last Friday he came
to town with four head OF cattle, to
deliver to TORY g. Kingsley, and
started for home between nine and
ten in the evening. He had not got
out but q few miles from the Falls
when he noticed two men riding In
advance of him. About four miles
this side of New Hartford, there 10 a
strip of woods, and when about the
middle of It, he was ordered to halt,
by two men, and deliver up his eff
fects. He failed to comply, where
upon both shot at him with revolvers.
He was also struck in the breast at the
same time, with knife. One of the
balls glazed his scalp, and an other
through his saddle skirt, lodging in
the pad. The knife was kept from
doing him any injury by memo
randum book which was in his side
pocket. Mr.. M. put spurs to his
horse and escaped. No clue has been
obtained to the robbers. They were
evidently parties who had watched
him during the day and supposed
that he had large sum Of money
with him. AS TORY & Kingsley had
paid Maxwell for the cattle several
days before, he had but about twenty
dollars with him-a small amount to
go to the trouble of killing a man

EDITOR GAZETTE I'VE promised
to give you an account of the pro-
gress of harvesting, condition of
crops, DC. We plead guilty to the
charge of neglect. Our excuse is
want of time. The weather, though
very hot, has been favorable; the
continued dry weather has enabled
US to secure our grain in the best pos
sible condition. Wheat good, aver
age crop; oats, very heavy, an extra
crop; corn, unusually good field
potatoes, fair, rain needed to bring
them up to an average with former
years. All We want now. Is fair
prices for our surplus produce. /
judge that the political pot must be
boiling, as there are quite a number
of distinguished gentleman from the
large cities in the country visiting
among the farmers, praising their
farms, crops and stock the good
wife's plain dinner comes in for full
share of praise; the corn bread the
finest flavor of any they ever tasted
the pork and potatoes were delicious
when 1t come to the burnt sorghum
syrup. why, really, they had never
tasted anything like it, I have nc
doubt they told the truth; were quite
enthusiastic in praise of the healthy
glow on the cheek of my not very
clean. tow-headed boy, who, child
like, spoilt the pretty allusion by say.

A PITIFUL SIGHT.-On Sunday
afternoon, an old man and his wife,
probably about so years old, We're
seen upon the streets, and their per-
sonal appearance attracted the atten.
ton of many of our citizens. They
were barefooted, and had scarcely
enough clothing on to hide their
nakedness. They were questioned
as to where they came from, where
they were going, etc., and they re-
piled they were from st. Cloud,
Mimi; had travelled the entire dis
lance on foot, and since they had
been on tho road their little child,
about Is months old, had siekened
and died; they had camped upon the
prairie wherever night overlook
them; they had no money, no
clothes, nothing to eat. and were al
most upon the point of starvation
Their names are McGregory, and
they were making their way into
Nebraska, where they said they had
some relatives living. Mr.. Kinkaid
took the objects of charity to his
house and gave them food to eat, and
also some to carry with them on their
journey. They presented as sorry a
picture as one often sees.-SioIr City
