where to look for more. Every article

For some time, the national festive

were on the minds Of almost every
one; but they are now past, and all

making hay and storing it for the
coming winter. The wheat fields will
also soon call their attention. The
wheat crop is much better than was
eypec Ell in the spring, the heads be-
ing large and heavy. Since the warm
weather came the corn is growing rap
idly. Oats now promise to be heavy
on the ground, but the acreage is oot
large. An extermiaating war has
been waged against the potato bugs.

The Democrats of belmont County
held their Convention at BarpesyilIe
on the Sd inst. to nominate county
ticket. :. The attendance was large and
the proceedings spirited: 80 80 o',. ',sa :,
a speech. BY General Samuel +.
Cary, candidate for Lieuteaant Gov
ernor, was the principal feature of the
occasion. The General spoke nearly
two heurs, and went over most of the
arguments in favor Of the Democracy
used by him in last falls campsIgn,
placing himself fairly and ,squarely on
the rag money platform Of the Bunker
Hill Convention, aud attributing, all
the ills Of the country to the domipa:
ton of the Republican party. and its
partially for. the bordholders and the
National banks. ...,.,.. a4, -,
The freshest thing in his speech was
the definition of his. position on the
temperance question. On this head
he said that for mere than forty years
he aad not tasted drop of intoxicat-
ing liquor, and never Intended to. He
would not drink a glass Of liquor, to
be Lieutenant G GSvernor, or Governor,
or President. II was not a mere sem
timent with him, but conviction. He
knew he was better off without liquor,
and believed every other man would
be. He spoke OF the devastating effecl
Of strong drink, but said that all the
expedients. ever resorted to TO sup.
press the, evil had proved failures, as
Gladstone and John Bright had said
in the British Parliament. He was a
temperance man, but while. he con-
trolled his own appetite, he did not
propose to control others. He had
been called on as an old temperance
man when the womens crusade was
inaugurated, but he did not approve
that movement, and to-day stood
squarely on The Democratic platform,
and that was all he proposed to say or
the subject. If his hearers thought .
man who; did not drink was not quail
fled to preside oyer,the Ohio ScDaie,
he hoped they would not vote for him
as he would not drink to CRAFTY any

claims the power under the late Sher-
man bill to issue bonds to any extent
bearing 5 per cent. interest to purchase
gold with which to redeem the cut =
standing legal tender notes, and that he
proposes to make such an investment.
This would require about $4OO, 900. 600.
which, at five per cent, would require
$40, 600 annually with which to
pay the interest. In whose Interest ia
this proposed to be done2 Certainly
not of the people. 1t ia q part of the
plan of the monopoly party te transfer
