The Grange organization could not
apply itself to better work than to col
leot and disseminate information upon
this all important subject of crops and
prices. The, subordinate oranges fur
nish just the machinery needed. If each
grange was to report to the National
Grange the condition Of the cr5p in
their vicinity, the National. Grange
could send circulars at once to all the
subordinate oranges, summarizing these
reports. Thus the oranges of Indiana,
,or, Illinois, would have by this time full
reports from the Southern States, and in
a few days we would have full reports
from all the States south and east of US.
Thus every granger in Minnesota would,
by the first of August next, be better
posted than any speculator in New York
or Chicago; and hercould thus determine
whether to sell or hold his crop. This
system could be applied not to wheat
alone. but to all the principal productions

THE ANTEMCNOPOLlSTS.

The convention which met at Ovation

our opponents, success, The busy

faction with which the nomination Buell.
had been hailed, kept many away, but
those who attended were among the
leaders of the 'sfarmer's movement, in
! Minnesota, They were plain men;
many of them unknown to fame; but
men who had thought deeply on the
great questions of craftsmanship, and
whose speeches were worthy Of any leg
islative body in the country. 1--WE regret
that our columns are too crowded to
give the PLATFORM and The speeches this
week; we will present them next week.
a We are glad to see thai the platform
takes strong ground against immediate
resumption Of specie payments; inothef
words, against crushing out the industry
and prosperity Of the people, in y vain
,endeavor to do. in three or four years
that which England, after the great wars
at the beg inning Of the century, was un-
able to accomplish in ltwehty-six years.
5'n The whole financial question was dis
cussedJ in an admirable manner, showing
that the speakers had, ia their quiet,
4, country homes, carefully studied this
/, grave and intricate problem. .u,.,- ,s.
The sentiment OF, the Convention rs
g to the best course OF action. was, some
q what divided. "A large majority, prob
ably nine-tenths, We're in tavor. OF noml-
mating Mr.. Buell. for Governor, Mr..
!. Dixie tor Treasurer, and Mr. Ayfes for
Railroad Commissioner i"i MIR. DOraa
and Judge Emmett had many friends
among those present. The objection
was, however, made that it would be
improper to endorse any OF these gentle
men until they had given in their Vad,
herence to the distinctive doctrines OF the
Autobiography party. and it was there
fore agreed that the Convention should
adjourn until the p2d Of September, and
that in the mean time the platform
should be submitted to all the candidates
now in the field for their approval Or re-
lection. D. n -.~t .u .a~.
1t is expected that a large convention
will be held in SEPTEMBER, with repre-

ing the records Of the AmeEcan civil war, 1t
really appears as though the whole contest was
between few officers Of West Point, and the
mighty heart of the nation had never throb:

in all European armies. In the revolution Of
1893, Garnet, the French Minister Of War,
first abandoned it, and we have followed. -.
No man can read the history Of our
civil war without perceiting that there
was determined purpose upon the part
of the West Point men to keep down all
who were not from that school; and
that great injustice was many times
done to gallant and able officers simply
