OUR INCREASING WHEAT MARX

More and more it becomes evident
that the future OF Americas prosperity
must rest upon her agriculture, and that
rs fast as new fields are opened hero new
markets are opened in Europe.

withdrawn Straits majority would have
been greater than at present; and even
if Donnelly's entire vote had been given
to Judge Wilder it would not nave
changed the result
The Greenback vote was drawn even
more largely from the Republicans than
indicated above. Where Wilder fell
behind Tilden was in the valley counties
where he had scarcely any vote.
Wilder has less votes than Tilden in
the following counties:
Carver ZIG
Scott 2l5
LIE Sueur l4O
Total All
AS we had but 81 votes in these three
counties at least 414 Democrats must
have voted for Strait, instead ofWilder.
From this showing we drew about 400
votes in the I'd District from the DEM
ocracy and about $500 from the Repub-
licans. And ii we had had the
endorsement of the Democracy we could
easily have drawn $500 more aud been
elected.

Senator Blaine in Boston.

Mr. Blaine had splendid ovation at Music
Hall, Boston, Monday evening. The crowd was
immense, packing every inch of space in the am
pie hall, and blocking all the streets and passages
near it. Mr.. Blaine's speech was received with
great applause. After be closed brief remarks
were made by General Banks and Senator Bout
well. An idea of the crowd may be had from the
following clipped from the Boston Advertiser
As early as six o'clock groups of people began
to gather at each entrance to the hall The groups
rapidly grew larger, and at half-past SIX it was
thought best to open the doors just little. A
large force Of policemen were inside the hall to
keep the reserved seats cleared for the ticket
holders. The space for those who did not have
tickets was occupied by seven O'Clock, and the or
ders were given to admit no one without ticket.
But the crowd had really just begun to gather,
and thousands, rapidly increased by hundreds
more, surged toward the entrances in an almost
uncomfortable mass.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that pas
sageway could be kept open, and the officers had
TO work desperately. The guard at the fremont
street entrance was once pushed back literally ov
empowered, and the sidewalk in front of the en-
trance occupied The crowd reached across the
street and far up and down, and everybody was
pushing toward the Que spot. Matters looked so
serious that reserve of fourteen men was hasti-
ly brought up from Station 2, and all that could
be spared from other positions massed here, and
by terrible effort the dense crowd was forced
back and pssssgeway again opened. There
were on duty at the two entrances and inside the
hall nearly 100 patrolmen and Is mounted officers,
all under commend of the chief The Winter
street entrance was closed about half-past seven,
but still the crowd hung about it. Everybody in
the vicinity of the fremont street entrance knew
that the hall was full and that nobody would be
admitted, but sHll, in the midst Of pouring rain,
they stood by thousands, it being after eight
O'Clock before any dimuntion in the number
could be noticed.

Charles Francis Adams letter of accept
ance Is so frlgidly stiff that it has sent an
icy chill through the bones and marrow of
the Massachusetts democracy. The Tri-
bune says: ut is the stiffest, slarchiest,
top-loftiest, most reserved. and least gen.
ial letter ever written by candidate. II
all other evidence of the fact were des-
troyed, the future historian of our politics
would not know from this letter that the
democratic party was in existence in 1876.
We do not say that Mr.. Adams has any
reason to be ashamed of his company. but
he seems to be. He signs himself With
great respect; he talks Of the honor
conferred upon him : aud all the time 1t is
evident that he has no respect for the par
ty. and is far from considering its nomi-
nation an honor"

ANOTHER BLUFF,

The Bulletin states that a report is In
circulation that law passed the Hahn
Legislature, last spring, which removes
the Speaker from the succession, and
protects the acting Governor from sum
mary removal by impeachment.
Let the law be promulgated II 1t exists.
II Kellogg holds such a law In his
pocket for his own protection. he should
be impeaclied for that alone. 1t would
be cause, even were he guilty OF no other
crimes. The journal Of the Hahn Legis-
lature was regularly published. Let II
be searched for this precious law.
Meanwhile let our representatives moi
hesitate. No valid law has emanated
from the Hahn Legislature, and the pre-
tended statute, even il it be as the Bul.
letin states, is grossly violative OF the
constitution.
No trouble about the succession to the
Governors Office, gentlemen OF the
House. IF you will only act and prefer
the impeachment, the usurpers will moi
stand long on the order OF their going.
The trick is characteristic Of Kellogg
but he will not have the hardihood &c
oppose his removal by means like this
1t is like the stories Of Grants interior
ence, and of deranging the plans OF the
Northern Democracy. 1t is oil bluster
and bluff.
