very Novel view.

The following extract from the Chicago
Times 10 its comments upon the political
condition In Chicago is applicable to many
other places besides that city. The same
kind oftalk mas been heard upon our own
streets siUce the night Of the election, and
will perhaps be echoed By the greenbackers
aud Labor party wherever they shall be able
to longer continue their party organization.
That of course will merely be in certain
localities, for the time being, because as a
national party their doom is sealed beyond
peradventure.
1t was very amusing to note what consc-
lation they derived from their utter de-
feat. They went into the canvass with
the implicit confidence that they would poll
at least 200 votes, but the result indi-
Gates how wild and reckless had been their
calculations. The few who gathered at
the headquarters we're unable to account
for the small vote they polled, but they
very quickly claimed an immense amount
of credit for having succeeded in defeating
the democratic ticket. IF we did not
succeed ourselves" said one, I'VE have
the satisfaction of knowing that we laid
out the democratic party. Now that We
have beaten the democrats, we next pro
pose to lay out the republicans. and it car
be done if the democrats will only joir
with us. But let me say that union viii
only be accomplished when the democrats
accept our doctrines and become part o.
our party on our party platform" Tha
event is not liable to happen within tbs
present generation, and meanwhile they
will have to take such satisfaction as Gomez
from knowledge Of proving a thorn in th,
sides of the present dominant political
parties. With their present defeat it il
not likely they will create much of a still
hereafter. The blow dealt their party il
the various states where elections were
held on last Tuesday proved sumner, ant
they were unable to account for it. Still
they put on an air of happiness and cheer
fulness Greenbackers are happy PEG
pie. They can rejoice under almost anl
circumstances.

Great Potatoe Yield.

Mr.. Alfred Eckles. a resident of Mercer
county. two miles from Cable. has just ex-
hibited to Us three splendid specimens of
the Bermuda potatoe" which together
weigh SIX pounds-the largest slightly
over two pounds They are taken from q
field where two hundred plants yielded
twelve bushels. THIS is one of the largest
yields in the way of potatoes we have
heard of in this section of the country for
maDy year,
There is little danger of famine in this
locality so long as such crops are produced
by the farmers and planters Of the coun-
try
