who will render certain that in
creased republican msjorily which Judge
Poland has promised to the Boston Journal,
you have congressional candidates in the |
second and third district who, never having |
done anything, can have no active enemies, |
and consequently there /, nothing special
to make lively campaign, such as you
seem to be having On the contrary,
there is an anti-Pipes bolt among the San
Francisco democrats, and the boilers have
gone for the republican nominee, and the
fight ought to be sharp in the whole state,
for b. tn parties claim to be sure of victory,
though see little hope for the democracy.
There is very strong undercurrent at
work there, however, smooth as the sur
face may seem, and the republicans are
really al thoroughly organized in the
golden state, and putting as much quiet,
efficient work, as did the boilers in the
second Vermont district, while the UNI
suspecting Polandites supposed they were,

is about equally divided, and the cam
paign opened with the two parties about
mated, but, as usual, democratic mis-
management is giving the republicans some
odds. 1t does beat everything that 80 old
party, with 60 much experience at the
wires, should be eiernaly making such in-
effably stupid blunders a, characterize half
the democratic campaigns. One would
suppose the success of the republici IN party
for few years had drawn over all the
wire.pullers with brains to that party.

we have gone Vermont one better. We
had dry stick in congress (Woodburn)
who distinguished himself like Depison and
Hendee, by his mastery inactivity, and
the party has nominated him to stay at
home next time To be sure, he was al.
lowed the privilege of coming down easy
by Withdrawing his name from before the
| convention, and his speech withdrawing
himself is cynically reported By the repub-
| lican papers as haviog been greeted by ap-
| plause. The man named in his place,
Thomas Wren of Eureka, is man of
more energy, and the polls will tell whether
he has or has not more popularity as well.
| The best man who could have been run by
the republicans was Judge Goodwin of the
Enterprise, but he didu't pull any wires
and didn't get the nomination. The dem
ocrats will probably put up Cassidy, of the
Eureka Sentinel against Wren, and he will
make strong canvass. Cassidy took So
900 and helped elect the republican ticket
in the last campaign, which will hurt him
some with democrats, but much less than
such an act would hut man in Vermont

CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE.
The principal product Of California ha
been wheat. The cities and towns of tn
coast were flooded with fruit at ruinous
: low figures, and orchards and vineyard
were allowed TO go to decay. But th
: steps taken by the grange will revive th
fruit industry, and there will be NOR

Union. Oranges grow to perfection as ia
north as Tulare coun'y. and have bee
grown there as large as 12A inches in Gil
