CHICAGO, June 24,--The Watern Rural
has collected a large amount Of informa-
tiOn about the crops In the Northwest,
which II will publish In this weeks edi-
tion. The following 10 a summary:
Wheat-The reports clearly indicate
that the average Of wheat this year In tho
Western States Is much less than last
year. But three reports indicate an In
creased average, while twice as many
show but One.half an much or even less.
In Wisconsin no reports show an increase
and but two an equal acreage, while seven
show not more than one.hGlf. In Iowa
nearly the same condition 10 shown. In
Michigan the acreage was not materially
reduced. In some OF the newer States
an increased acreage is reported, As 10
condition the reports are not uniayora-
bic, q majority Of all indicating at least
an average condition. Michigan makes
u poor showing; Illinois stands well;
Wisconsin and Iowa very large; but the
general average Is not bad.
Corn-UndOubtedly the acreage plant.
ed in the West was larger than In any
former year. In Illinois the reports
show a larger acreage than last year; In
crease 20 to % per cent In Iowa the
same Is true, with several reports Of an
increase Of 30 per cent. Wisconsin 10
not a great corn State, but shows an In
crease OF at least % per cent In acreage.
Michigan and Missouri also show q con-
siderable increase. The reports Of con-
dition are not so good as is desired, but
It Is probable that many Of the unfayora.
bic reports indicate the latenesS Of the
crop rather than the bad condition other.
wise. Bearing In mind the comparative
quantities grown In the different States,
our reports show a prospect at the mid
die Of June Of about four.fiftllB Of an ay-
erage crop.
OaLs-The acreage In oats is consider
ably increased over that OF last year, and
there Is general prospect Of at least =
full average crop. Illinois gives several
reports Of less than an average condition.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, etc, In near.
ly all cases show good prospects.
Barley-Illinois shows reduced acre
age and Iowa, Wisconsin and NebrSSka an
increase. The prospect for the crop, as
a whole, Ia below an average.
Insect Injuries-In very few cases is
there an increase Of injury from insects,
impaired with last year. This, Of course,
does not include the grasShoppcr districts,
but there are many moro cases In which
the grasshoppers have dono less injury
than last year than where they have done
more. Chinch and potato bugs are very
plentiful In many places, but on the
whole not so numerous as last year.
II Is n cause Of rejoicing that although
there are few regions In which some crops
do not mako a poor showing, and In
number Of localities most crops look I'm.
promising, the general crop prospect, ca.
pCCially IN Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Kan.
saS, Missouri and Nebraska IA Of an az.
gregate average yield Of the farm staples.

AFTERNoON SESSION,

On rcasscmbling the Committee on
Credentials reported a full list Of the
delegates, and II. B. Foukc, OF Dubuque,
was chosen permanent President. On
accepting the Office Mr.. Fouke expressed
his qualification at the unanimity Of
opinion existing In the convention, and
said hO thought tho Committee on ResO.
lutions would report platform on which
all could stand, He asked that every.
thing not essential for the sake Of har.
mony be subordinated to tic declaration
Of principles. ga.
The Committee on Resolutions then re-
ported platform, Of which the following
resolutions arc part.
10. That we are In favor OF a resump.
tion Of specie payments as soon as the
same can be done without injury to the
business interests Of the country; in the
meantime sufficient supply Of national
currency for business purposes, and op.
position to the present banking laws.
II. A tariff on imports that will pro.
duce the largest amount ot revenue with
the smallest amount Of tax, 80 there may
be no imposition Of duties for the benefit
Of manufacturers at the expense Of the
agricultural interest.
IL. We are in favor OF the repeal Of
tho present prohibitory liquor law and
the enactment Of full framed, practical
license law, strictly enforced, as the best
guard and safest solution Of the evils Of
intemperanCe.
II. That we are opposed 10 all legisla.
ton that restricts any citizen In his indi.
yidual or social rights and privileges.
Here follows the Ohio arraignment Of
the Republican party and IN Invitation
to all parties to cooperate for the expul.
sion Of the Republican party from power.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. After considerable debate on
motion that the organization be known
as simply Democratic the whole matter
Of name was laid on the table.
Nominations were then made us fol.
lows: For Governor, Shepard Leiiler, Of
Des MOines; Lieutenant.0 Governor, Capt.
L. B. Woodward, Of Lucas; Judge Of Su-
premc Court, W.K Knight, Of Dubuque;
Superintendent Of Public Instruction, A,
r. Wright, Of Wright. These nomina.
tions were made unanimous, and after
speeches by several delegates the Conven.
tiOn adjourned.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1875-06-25

alone in favor Of imitation, for We are we'll
aware that very many Republicans in the
West are in favor Of the same policy. 1t
is yet to be seen, however, whether any
Republican State convention will for
mally take such position in the coming
campaign.
We do not consider it by any means
certain that the Democracy can be de-
feated in Ohio or their imitation platform,
although there are symptoms Of revolt
in their ranks on account Of the position
which the party has assumed on this
question. The Cleveland PiGindealcr, the
leading Democratic paper OF Northern
Ohio, enters its "protest against the
heretical doctrine Of expanded currency
as compared with the gold and silver
money which our fathers deemed they
had secured by the Constitution"
The remarks OF other Democratic pa
pcrS show that the party is badly at sea
as to what departure" 1t should take on
the currency question this campaign.
For instance, the Baltimore Gazette makes
the following declaration on the subject:
"The Ohio Democracy do not speak the
sentiments OF the party, and It now rests
with the forthcoming Pennsylvania Com
yention TO put the party back in line with
New York, Illinois and the other great
States which have spoken with no unCer-
tain sound in favor Of honest money and
true Democracy. When its followers sit
at the feet Of Ben Butler, William D.
Kelley, and similar 'greenback' repudiA-
tionists and inaatiOnisIs, to imbibe their
financial principles, Heaven save the De-
moCraCy"
The Chicago Tribune (Rep.) thus con-
concludes an editorial on the platform Of
Of tho Ohio Democrats:
III this party attain power, il will find
itself unable to maintain n government
with money worth but onG.half It's face
valuei having banished specie 1t will
meet the difficulty oil paying tho interest
and principal Of the debt In coin by pay
ing the principal in paper, and then, as
was done with the old Continental money
and the Confederate States money, repu-
diate the paper. Then We will have no
debt, no interest, no money aud no credit
we will stand convicted as a nation Of
thieves aud robbers; and, with the loss Of
credit, the demoraliled and degraded
people will bo ripe subjects for any
lIsurper from within or invader from
without"
