THE GROWING GRAIN CRops,-Re.
turns 10 the department OF agriculture
Indicate an average of eighty-seven in
condition of the wheat crop against
nincty-tso in September, 1877. The re.
duction IS mostly due TO disasters 70 ehe
spring crop in the Northwest. A pre-
liminary examination of the returns of
acreage indicates that the breadth sown
IN 1873 is about one.sixth greater than
in 1877. This will more than Compensate
the loss from decline in condition, and
will probably brig up the Weld to the
popular estimate Of four hundred million
bushels.
The average condition of the corn crop
Is ninety-two against ninety-six In An-
gust, and slightly above the condition in
September, 1877, which was ninety.one.
The crop held It's own in the northern
portion of the Atlsntic Slope, and on the
Pacific Coast it sllghtly improved. but In
the States north of the Ohio il fell off ?

accounts of destructive gales accom-

The Radicals i: Ohio are badly split
to pieces by their quar-els among them
selves. This state of things led Mr..
Charles Foster, hitherto q staunch friend
of Mr.. Hayes, to make speech in that
State condemning the Presidents South
ern policy, in the hope that all could
unite on that platform. The President,
however, had friends who were not dis
posed TO submit quietly to such an attack
upon him, and consequently Mr.. Foster
has been compelled to explain himself,
which he did in q recent speech at
Springfield by saying:
He had hoped that the policy of Kind.
ness and reconciliation would result in
the formation of o public sentiment in
the South that would permit Republi.
cans in the South to exercise fully ali
their political rights; but, excepting
Tennessee, North Carolina and Texas.
that hope had not been realized. The
Presidents policy has lost him the SYM
pathy of the great mass Of his party.
That he has conscientiously done his
duty as he saw il, there can be no oues.
ton. No matter whether conventions
lndorse him or not, no man will rejoice
more than he over Republican s,ccess,
North or South.
This speech was evidently an effort tn
trim between the two classes of his party,
and the confession he makes is not very
creditable 10 that party, for he says the
President has lost the sympathy of the
great mass of the Republicans for doing
what he conscientiously believed to be
his duty, and which Mr.. Foster assisted
him in doing. Then after admitting that
the Republican party does not accord
with the Presidents views, which wero
also his views, of duty, he says that the
President will be glad to see the Repub-
lican party succeed in the North and
South. In other words, the President
will be glad to see party succeed which
he conscientiously believes is wrong.
These are two candid admissions. First,
that the Republicans do not sympathize
with the Presiden. in trying to perform
his duty; and next, that the President
prefers the success of the Republican
party to the triumph of what he believes
to be right. The people of the United
States will no doubt agree with both Of
these statements. and settle the dispute
by leaving out both of the Republican
factions and electing Democrats.

The Grcenbackers and Democrats to-
gether have majority ofthe Legislature
of Naine. There was no e,ection for
State officers, and hence the Legislature
will have to elect. This secures the elec.
tion of aset of Greenbackers for the
State officers Of Maine, which is the first
time in thirty years that any other than
a Republican has filled the Office Of Gov
ernor ofthis State. It shows change
in the current of politics in Maine, and
the vote of this State is at best doubtful
in the Presidential contest of 1880.
