Democratic State Ticket.



The Democmtie party should cherish
with pride the reputation Of its most prom
inent public men, the men who ere in pc.
sitions Of public trust and responsibility,
and who may be termed its representative
men, able, eloquent, and distinguished for
their wisdom aud far.seeing craftsmanship.
Il would seem most unnatural and unac-
countable that any prominent organ Of the
party should deery such men, and seek to
disparage them in public estimation, max
ing them from time to time the objects Of
assault and dcnunciation. A case in point
is furnished BY the course ofthe Baltimore
Gazeftc towards several prominent Demo-
Gratis in the west. Its batteries have been
turned upon Senator Thurman and Gov.
Allen, Of Ohio, and also upon Governor
Hendricks. Of Indiana. Who is to be the
next target for its poisoned arrows remains
to be seen. It has expressed desire ior
the defeat Of Governor Allen in the can.
vass now in progress in that State This
unusual and erratic course has started the
inquiry in the minds of some earnest and
consistent Democrats the Ga-ene q
Democratic paperg" aWould Demo
cratic journal thus assail its most prOmi.
nent men, or desire the success Of Radical
candidate for Governor over Democratic
candidate in one Of the largest and most
important States n especially at this time
when We are on the eve Of a presidential
election. Some have supposed that they
could account for the Gazette's peculiar
idiosyncrasy in the fact that it is under
northern control, aud that it fayors the
selection Of northern candidate for the
Presidency in the person Of Governor
Tilden, Of New York, and hence its hos.
tility to Thurman, Allen, Hendricks, and
other western men. However this may
be, it is certain that its course is weaken
ing its position as party journal, and i'm
pairing its usefulness Let it persist in
its course, il it win. The gentlemen as :
sailed can probably stand It if the Gcsstte
can.

The BREADsruFF MARKEr.-Aftel
the farmer has raised and housed his grain
the next great problem is when to sell it
The fluctuations in the grain market, as
in that of all other commodities, are some.
timesvery greatand very sudden. Toknow
how and when to sell, just at the right
time, j. often perplexing. Any informa-
ton, therefore, as to the state Of the crops
and condition Of the market is eagerly
sought after BY the farmers, who like to
keep well posted on these subjects. The
following from an English paper will
assist them towards right conclusions:
The Mark LANG Express, reviewing the
prospects of the European grain crop, saws ii
would be unreasonable, after a sunless JuIy
and such q heavy rainfall, to expect the same
pienty or quality as last year. The bulk Of
the English crop is yet uncut, and the same
estimate holds good as to the prospect in
France In the Paris market flour has risen
Tour francs per sack, and in the English mar
ket there appears 10 be as much chance Of a
rise as a fall, large purchases having been
made Ia The Londos market on American &C.
count.
