AN ESTIMATE OFlTHE DELAWARE PEACH CROP
from 1Ak Mddletowr lDsll zranscript Jsn< O.

The prospect for crop OF peaches this year
has very perceptbly diminished within the last two
weeks. Orchards which fortnight ago promised good
YIELD to-day have not peaches left to pay for the
picking, should all that upon the trees
come 70 maturity, which Is extremely doubtful to say
the least There orchards IN which good sprink

falls them these will probably yield pretty good CROP
but they are very few add confined mostly to very

After bit of sharp practice to en-
able him to fellow instead of proceed
ing Mr.. Beecher, which must have
dispelled oil remaining belief in his
fairness or csndor, Mr.. Francis d.
Moulton, the great ssmutual friend
has 1t last spoken. A 4bombshell,"
his friends call his production, but its
sole claim to importance is surely its
length. The only new item Of evil
dcnce produced by his statement is
the testimony that both Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton have repeatedly admitted
guilt to him. But this, when taken
in connection with the false and de.
ceitful part which his own words con-
vict him Of having acted for four
years, with his repeated declarations
to various persons of Beecher's inno-
cense, and with his own words to
Beecher. "You can stand Il were the
whole case published tomorrow, /"
only convicts Mr.. Moulton, in the
minds of most fair and unprejudiccd
persons, of being himself what the
lamented Mr.Greeley was wont to de-
scribe Is liar and . villain-and a
very distinguished one 1t that.

The Anti Monops of Scott county
held their County Convention last
Saturday. Congressionally MUIR

delegation was instructed to present
to the District Convention the follow

their adoption:

sry laws are antagonistic to person

After a terribly noisy and bitter
fight, the Anti Monep Convention in
the Third-the Dubuque district
nominated L. L. Ainsworth, line
backed Bourbon Democrat, over DIR.
Guilbert, of Dubuque, . Liberal .
So in this district, d. c. Cloud, the
ex-Republican candidate, is showed
aside to make room for Judge Bran
nan, Democrat. 1t would seem that
the Republican recruits in the Anti
Monop squad would begin to see that
while the hard work is willingly re-
ceived from them and the nomina
tions kindly rendered them where tbs
Republican majority is overwhel
ming, whenever and wherever ever
a chance Of success presents itself
they must stand back. Wonder i
they like that kind Of partnership.

Judge Cotton's friends have given
out the impression that the newspa-
pers are largely in his favor. Only
three Republican papers in the dis
irict advocate his nomination-all in
Clinton county-and neither of them
claim that he will carry that county
against Merrill or Lefiingwell, though
his party is entitled to majority Of
several hundred.
All the Republican papers in Jack
son, Jones, Cedar and Scott counties,
and one in Muscatine, regard Cotton
as the weakest candidate who can be
named, and insist that it will be sui
cidal to nominate him. Here are
seven to three, within the district, and
outside we do not know of . single
Republican paper that has spoke IA
vorably Of the denomination of Mr.
Cotton. Whatever the result, we
are content with what we know to
be the clear and unmistakable ex-
preston OF party sentiment.-Gd-

The disposition Of the average
Cotton enveloped politician is indi-
csted by the following brief extract
from a Clinton letter to the Wheat
land Ne,cs. 1t will be observed that
it is assumed with q godlemighty,
conquering hero sort of an air that
Cotton must be the candidate wheth-
er the people want him or not-the
nomination being only ''mere FORM
any way:
''Politics have been . little off in
this locality during the past few
weeks, it being generally conceded
that the congressional nominees in
this district viii be Cotton and MUIR
ply. Some anxiety is manifested as
to the call for the Republican Con-
gressional Convention. 1t is thought
necessary, even if it is mere form,
that the call should be made at once
and Cotton regularly nominated pre-
vious to his election"

The question is one the Eureka
ought to be able to answer without
much difficulty. To our mind, and
speaking from what we know Of the
feeling in this part of the District,
there has not been a candidate men
toned, SO far as we have heard, who
does not stand better chance to win
the Congressional position that Mr..
Cotton. The why and wherefore of
Mr.. Cotton's weakness in Jones, Jack
son, Scott and Muscatine counties,
and especially in the county first
named, we shall not discuss here,and
indeed, need not, for after all would
remain the fact-which should be
patent to every well-informed Repub-
