There is a good prospect Of very

nominate Gov. VIM. Allen, and it
Is about settled now that the Hon
E. Il. Wade will be the Republi :
can candidate. Both men are ex-
treme partisans. AS the Chicago
Tribune says. it is doubtful If Mr.
Wade believes the war Is over, or
that Gov. Allen knows there ha
been war, or that slavery Is abol-
ished. They would furnish ex-
tremely entertaining public discus
sl0ns, and should be allowed to

is that the waters have cut passage thro'

to Pittston. What is to follow? Wha,

1t was out of our power to at
tend the State Fair, and as there
have already been pretty full de-
scriptions Of it generally circulated,
we have concluded to dismiss it
with a brief notice. There was a
fair exhibition of agricultural pro-
ducts and large show Of imple-
ments, but these were principally
from St. Paul and vicinity. The at
tendance of visitors was good, but
very few Of them were farmers, from
other parts of the State. It was
properly St. Paul and Ramsey
county affair, from all accounts, and
as the season, weather and pecun-
iary circumstances of the people all
conspired to prevent its being gen.
orally attended, it could not we'll be
successful.

the financial planks of the national

follows:
To these authentic declarations of Dem
ocratic principles and policy the time gives
proof-ln the present depression of busi.
ness caused by the reaction from the un-
healthy stimulus of au excessive, depreci-
ated and irredeemable currency: by the
enormous and ill-adjusted Municipal, State
and Federal taxation, and by the extrava-
gance, va ste and speculation in the admin

this evil is not to be found in renewal of

keep up your Grange. Remem Der
that you have already done a great
work by and through grange associa-
tions. You have whipped the railroad
companies once in fair fight; you have
brought down the machine men: YOU
have compelled traders to be content
with small profits; you have forced
money-lenders to reduce interest, when
all other circumstances conspired to in.
crease the rates Of usury; you have
been instrumental in eHecting import
ant political reforms and restraining
political corruption. All this has been
effected through your combination in
oranges. and, hence, the usefulness of
the Order is demonstrated. True, YOU
have been occasionally deceived and be-
trayed by political sharpers, but the in.
jury resulting from these occurrences
has been far less permanent and bale
full than it would have been were YOU
isolated and individualized as was the
case before the oranges were organized.
Do not, therefore, become weary in we'll
doing, but stick to your oranges. At
tend every meeting, and see to it that
the interest is fully sustained. It has
paid you well to do SO this far and it
will pay you to continue it.
