From the N. 7. Tribune.


There are a good many Republican
newspaper off es in the country where
the following sound sense from The Graph
&c can be read with great profit, viz:
1.-THE fact is that Gov Tifden is the
strongest candidate the Democrats could
put into the field, and the strongest they
have nominated since James Buchanan.
lie minds his own business, keeps his own
council. seldom slops over, makes few
mistakes. and has as clear and sharp an
eye to see what ought ID be done as any
man 10 America, while In executive force
he has few equals and no superior. He
doubtless knows as we'll what he is doing
and why he is doing it and what he means
TO do next as any editorial guessing mach
inc in the country. The Democracy mean
success, and are determined to win it if
they possibly can do so; and they are too
shrewd to quarrel, too plucky to turn the
white feather, and too hungry to abandon
a chance so long as the game is in sight.
And the Republicans may as we'll make up
their minds first as last that they have got
to beat by hard work or be beaten, and
nothing short of the hardest sort OF work
and the greatest possible union and har-
mony will prevent their being very hand
somely whipped And Republican papers
that report the weakness of the Democracy
and represent their nominee as man OF
straw that an ordinary Whit OF wind may
blow over, show that they are edited by
asses who don't know what they are bray
ing about"

SHEEP SALES.

This is the season for the regular sheep
sales In Greal Britain. We notice by our
English exchanges, that the prices are rul-
ling high. At Mr.. Barker's sale, at Moor
Barns, says the Marx Lane Erpsess: This
Is one. of the most noted fiocks of Shrop-
shires, having secured no fewer than $40
prizes at the Royal and ether shows during
the last seven years. The sale commenced
with ihe ewes, which We're a very grand lot,
as may be gathered from the fact that Sos.
per head was the lowest price for any pen,
the others making 90s., 95s., l05s., HOS,
and the whole averaging close upon 60
each. The rams were of good size, but sew
eral of the shearlings were backward in
condition. Buyers were evidently afraid
the too prize aged rams were too heavy
for work, as they went very cheaply at 20
guineas each. The first cup-bearer, how
ever, was retained by Mr.. Baker for the first
half of the season. Several other rams re-
allied 20, IS, II, 16, Is, down to 10 guineas
each, very few going below the latter fig
ure, and two were let for part OF the season

DULL, BUT NOT D1scoURAGTNe.

Ine prices of wool have not been so en-
coufaglng as was desired by the growers oil
the stapleinthe United States. The nerio1;cal
cry OF the manufacturers and middlemen,
That the clip was an unusually heavy one,
may nave had some effect; but we look for
the principal cause in the general business
depression that prevails throughout the
country. Monied men have plenty Of mon
ey-anybody can get it who stands ready to
mortgage MS farm, Or house %andelot; but
capital for manufacturing investments Is
scarce. Many WOODEN mills have.been idle.
or running on short time; while the>exiren-
c1es OF business compel the holders of cloths
to,realize at prices that will not Justify them
IN laying in stocks of raw material. AZ hes
always been the case, we may look for dis
couragement among such wool-growers as
nave not senlisted for the war ,--men who
noped TO, get rich and retire before the shad-
oWs OF hard times =, fell across their nath-
way. 10 such we would say, don't sacrifice
good sheep. If you have more than Won
can you keep well, Gull out the less desira-
nietones, and get them into mutton conai-
tlon as soon as possible. Grass and groin
are comparatively cheap, and good mutton
Will buy all that is needed. and leave a nrof.
lt besides. If you would winter the ra-
mainder cheaply, be careful to get and keen
pem N good condition. Fat sheep will not
require SO much attention rs poor ones. and
the percentage of losses will be much small
En-. Begin to winter your sheep now.
