MeSSrS. Gordon and Lamar In New
Hampshire.


From the Jackson Clarion.
Some Of our exchanges say that
Messrs. Gordon and Lamar did
harm by airing their eloquence In
New Hampshire. and at the same
time they claim q Democratic vic
tory In that State. This reasoning
looks a little illogical. Atany rate
we think the press is doing them
an injustice. They visited New
Hampshire at the invitation Of
prominent Democrats Of that State.
= y =
We have no doubt Messrs. Gordon
and Lamar accomplished good by
their visit. Of course the radicals
attempted to neutralize their ef-
forts, but as long as we gained one
Congressman, we see no reason to
complain. n.-Vicksburg Monitor.
This is fair criticism on the In.
v'dious comments that have been
made on Messrs. Lamar& Gordon's
visit to New Hampshire. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee Of New
Hampshire were better posted rs
to the requirements Of their cause
than newspaper writers more than
a thousand miles away. And 1t
seems that the committee did not
err In their calculation Of the good
that would result from the speeches
Of these distinguished statesmen
and orators Of the South. Unfor-
tunately for our cause they reached
the State only two days before the
election. Now mark what follow
ed. 1t is related by New Hamp.
shire correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Times independently:
"The election returns show that
wherever Generals Gordon and
Lamar spoke the Democrats made
unprecedented gains. So It seems
that the New England mind is not
to be influenced by appeals to their
passions SO much as by arguments
addressed to their understanding.
OF these speeches the Springfield
Republican, q very influential Lib
eral Republican paper, says that
they made votes for the Demo-
cratic candidates Is probable !"
and 1t argues that they did high.
er work In removing false impress
sions which had been made on the
Northern mind by political parti-
sans who live on the sectional agi.
tation which is kept up at the ex.
pense of the South.
The effect produced OH the cleo
ton by their speeches Is thus dc.
ecribed by the Washington City
Herald (Democratic):
"If the sincere and eloquent
words Of these honest and earnest
men pleading for peace and goot
will between the sections coult
have been listened to by every vo
ter in the Granite State. the result
must have been, we firmly believe
an overwhelming conservative tri
umph. In the District where theil
addresses were made y Democrati,
Congressman was chosen, although
1t has hitherto been represented b,
a Republican"
This simple announcementof of th'
practical effect Of the visit of ou
distinguished Southern Represent
atives speaks its own eloquent win
dication Of their addresses and o
the wisdom and generous inspira
tion of the committee under who's,
auspices they were delivered.

REPORTS FROM WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, NfDsAsKA,
IOWA, KANSAS, AND lLLlNoIs-No CAUSE FOR
COMPLAINT.
Especial Dispatch to TIE Neio Fork 7in,ss
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-'Fhe Times prints COM
prehensive report to morrow of the condition
of the Spring wheat crop in tho Northwest
comprising tho States of WiscoSs sin, hin
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and the northern
part of Illinois and Kansas, together with
miscellaneous crop reports from other
sections of the country. In Wisconsin, Mime
eota, and Nebraska nearly sill the reports agree
that this will be year of plenty. Wheat has
mostly been cut and stocked. The quantity Is
far above the average, and the quality was never
excelled. There will be at least ne,quarter more
wheat exported from these States than any
previous year. From Iowa reports are
not as encouraging. In tho main the
yield is fully up to the average, but some
sections have suffered from the ravages OF
grasshoppers. army worms, ard chinch bugs
While the weather has figured conspcuously in
retarding the growth and development of grain,
fore, some counties falling below and
others exceeding the yield of former
years. Kansas is happy, especially the
northern portion. Tho departure OF
the grasshoppers has permitted nature to recon-
pehse in part last years losses. All reports
agree that more bountiful harvest has never
been gathered in that State. In Illinois but lit
tie Spring wheat is grown. Winter wheat and
corn are the staple products. AS far as reports
go, there is no reason for complaint. The crop
will be fully up to the average of former years
Taking all in all, the prospect is encouraging
Not only will there he wheat enough for home
demand, but the West can, without fail. supply
the European market. The reports state Thar
the yields generally are large and the quality
fine, the berry beng in excellent condition.
