CYRUS G. PERsH1Ne, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania
refuses to resign the Office of Judge which
he now holds. He evidently thinks he
has not sure thing on the Governorship.
The Rochester Democrat commends his &C.
ton, saying: "Thaes right, Judge; new
er let go with your hands till your feet
touch the ground"
He has probably heard Of Judge
Waite, of the First Congressional Dis.
trict in this State, who last year &C.
cepted the Democratic nomination
for Congress, resigned his office Of
judge, and was triumphantly elected
to-stay at home.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

The London Times Of Friday morn
ing says the harvest is nearly at an
end. The reports as to the quality of
new wheat are generally good. The
markets in Mincing Lane continue
quiet. Sugar is depressed, and prices
favor buyers. James Baird, whom
the Times considers high authority,
writes the journal as follows: "The
publication of the returns of acreage
exhibits the smallest breadth of wheat
We have had since the returns have
been. taken, and a half million acres
less than the average extent previous
to 1860, when We had four millions
fewer people. The decrease in Ire
land has been IA per cent. from 1874,
and in Great Britain the decrease
has been nearly 8 per cent" He es-
Inmates the amount of wheat requir-
ed from abroad at eleven million
quarters. Minnesota is ready to fur.
nish a considerable proportion of this
demand.
The Mark Lane Express Of Mon
day has the following review Of the
corn market for the week: The last
gathering of the harvest in the south
of England has been we'll secured.
The usual consequence has ensued,
and the reduction in the price Of
wheat is universal-say from to 2
| shillings. Our averages, however,
are only one shilling and sixpence
| above those of last year. There
| seems to be little room, on scanty
and poor crop for further depression,
and as money goes begging it may
find profitable vent in the corn trade.
The French complain That growth
has exceeded their wants by about
three million quarters, but the fact
| that the French farmers are more re.
luctant than ourselves to give way,
confirms the impression that the esti'
| mate is erroneous. The Paris mar.
ket has been steady for flour and fine
wheat, though it is about a shilling
easier for inferior new. In the prov.
inces there has been very little change
On the continent generally there has
been but little movement, the mar
kets in some places in Germany be-
ing firmer, and in others easier. In
Holland prices have only declined 8
shilling; in Belgium hardly that
but in Hungary, with better supplies
there has been decline of two shil
lings per quarter, and the same il
true Of Denmark. Holders at Odes
sa still demand higher prices.

POLITICAL DOUBLE DEALING.

Mr.. Buell., the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, kicks over the
Democratic platform-or the only
part Of it that amounts to anything
and mounts platform of his own.
The Democratic platform insists ex-
pl'citly upon "a return to gold and
silver as basis of the currency of
the country, with immediate prepa-
ration and effective measures to Sc
cure the resumption of specie pay
ments." This is good, sound, honest
doctrine. But now Nj. Buell. comes
out in published letter, in which he
expresses the opinion that "specie
payments cannot be Immediately re-
sumed," and adds that to take such
steps as would tend to make green
backs lnterconvertible with gold and
silver "would be disastrous to the
business Of the country and bank
rnpt very many of the most enter
prlsing and active business men in it. 1"
In short, Mr.. Buell. repudiates the
platform adopted by the Democratic
State Convention, and constructs one
Of his own, similar to the Ohio plat.
form.
How many more Of the candidates
nominated by the State Democratic
Convention are of the same mind
with Mr.. Buell. and hold views an
tagonistic to the declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by their party-to
which they either absolutely or i'm
pliedly stand pledged-is not known,
but it would not be surprising if all
Of them do, and that thus we have
presented the spectacle of a party
with a platform on which are mount
ed the ghos:ly shadows of some pa
per candidates, while the candidates
themselves are somewhere else. What
are the Democratic voters expected to
do-to rally around principles
without candidates, or around can
didates without principles9 They
must do the one thing or the other.
Mr.. Buell. at least occupies position
concerning the financial questions of
the day the antipode of the position
taken by the representatives of the
Democratic party assembled in con-
vention. His views and the views
announced in the platform upon
which he was nominated are wholly
irreconcilable.
This is a matter in which Mr..
Buell. is scarcely honest. He should
either have declined the nomination
for Governor, or have adopted the
course pursued by Judge Pershing,
the Democratic nominee for Govern
or Of Pennsylvania, sacrificed his
views to party policy" The people
OF Minnesota are in favor of an hon.
est currency dollar which is a
dollar in fact as we'll as in name
and in favor of the earliest possible
return to this system of currency
The Democratic platform embodied
an unqualified and unmistakable ex-
preston in this behalf, and it is upon
this declaration that votes will be
sought. But, thinking to gain some
support in another direction, Mr..
Buell. declares himself believer in
rag money. This is a kind of double
dealing which will lose instead of
gain votes for Mr.. Buell.. This
currency question is altogether too
serious matter to be trifed with in
any such manner, and the people
demand that party and its candi-
dates. shall be either the one thing or
the other. They will be slow to trust
a man in the highest office in the
State who has one set of principles to
offer one day and another set another
day.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN GREAT
BRITAIN.

A cable dispatch gives a summary,
which is only partly ineligible, of a
letter on the wheat crop from the
well-known authority, Mr.. James
Baird. The point of Mr.. Baird's let
ter is that Great Britain must import
during the harvest year, Sept. 1, 1875
to Aug. 81, 1876, 100000 of bush
els Of wheat. This agrees almost ex-
actly with the estimate made in these
columns a few weeks ago, and is but
slightly in excess of the estimate-S3,-
00,O0O-given in the Times of Aug.
Z. The years consumption of wheat
in the United Kingdom may be set
down at 184,000,00O bushels. The
available yield of the British harvest
of 1874 was about 109,50O,0OO of
bushels. The yield of this years har-
vest which will enter into consump-
ton may apparently be set down at
100000 of bushels, so that the
country viii have to draw nearly one
half of its annual supply from abroad.
AS the diminished yield of the Eng
lish harvest is probably a fair index
to the reduced proportions of the crop
in other parts Of Europe, it may be
safely inferred that the United States
will be called upon to supply rather
more than its last years share of the
English imports. AS already estima-
ted in the Times, our wheat exports to
the United Kingdom for the harvest
year will probably aggregate 60,000,-.
