THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The result of the October elections
is highly gratifying TO all who sub
scribe to the beneficient doctrines of
National supremacy and honest money.
The Republicans of Ohio felt confident
of the success of their State ticket,
which was elected by about seventeen
thousand majority, but as the friends
of Thurman proposed to sacrifice the
Democratic State ticket to enable them
to retain legislative control of the
State the Republicans nurtured but a
small degree of hope of regaining the
legislature and their surprise is ex-
ceeded only by their joy at securing
control of both houses of that body
with clear majority of thirty-five on
joint ballot, ensuring the election of a
stalwart Republican to succeed Thur
man in the United States Senate. This
magnificent victory for the Re-
publican cause cannot properly be as
cribed to any individual "boom" but
should be wholly attributed to the pat
riotic and honest instincts of the peo-
pie which in trying emergencies are
asserted; it evinces the fact that the
loyal sentiment of the North recog-
niZes the menaces of solid South and
is prepared to meet them; it is also an
indication of the permanent ascenden-
cy of the principles of honest money.
The Democracy of Ohio has suffered a
crushing defeat from the effects of
which it cannot soon recover. 1t not
only blasts the Presidential aspirations
of Senator Thurman but at the same
time cuts off his Senatorial career at
the close of his present term. Gen.
Ewing some weeks ago gave up all ex-
pectations of being elected Governor
and also turned his attention to the
election of a Democratic legislature
hoping to beat Thurman at his own
game, but the result shows that he
reckoned without his host and his
Senatorial hopes were nipped by the
frosts of Republican success. The
"Ohio idee" as an important factor in
National politics has thus been elimi-
mated and the number of political
parties practically reduced to two-the
loyal Republican party and the Demo-
cratic State rights party. Thurman
successor will be selected from among
such stalwarts as Sherman, Garfield
and Foster.
The Republicans of Iowa have roll
ed up one of their traditional MAORI
ties for sound currency and National
unity, and the result in the October
States following the Republican victo-
ries in Maine and California cannot
fail to have a favorable effect upon
the November election.

BECAUSE Col. Calkins, of Milwaukee,
has had the courage and manliness to
denounee the shotgun policy in the
South, the Chairman of the Democrat
ic State Central Committee has under
taken to read him out of the Demo-
cratic party, and Calkins saucily
talks back" as follows:
''Really, no man with a mind of his
own cares for the opinion of Gen.
Parkinson, or Gen. Parkinson's COM
mittee, as to whether he is in or out
of the Democratic party. Nobody
cares for his or his committees feeble
bulls of communication, except for
the diaboical spirit which they evince.
The spirit which in Yazoo shoots an
insubordinate member of the party,
which lies in wait and ambuscades a
man who is inder endent enough and
has the courage to rebel against party
dictation, in Wisconsin only villifies
and traduces him, denounceS him
through the press, places a brand on
his associations, and does him all the
injury that it can within the law. The
Yazoo spirit in Mississippi and Wiscon-
sin is the same, except that in Missis-
sippi it shoots; in Wisconsin 1t only
calumniates, scolds, snarls, shows its
teeth, and INDUCES in cantankerous
and indecent exhibitions of monkeyish
spite. One is but little more pleasant
or agreeable than the other.
Remarks by Gen. Parkinson are now
in order, during which the "boys in
the gallery" will please be quiet.

THE WatertowE Democrat defends
the Democratic party in it's sympathy
with the Southern Confederacy and
says: ''There is no longer a doubt
that the Democrats have nominated
just the right man for Governor. The
only charge against Mr.. Jenkins thus
far is that he rejoiced when Lincoln
was assassinated. 1t is satisfaction
to know that he was not war Demo-
crat. The paper above quoted hav-
ing become convinced that the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor was not
war Democrat and that he rejoiced
over the assassination of our martyred
President, it has no doubt that he is
"just the right man for Governor. :"
What do soldiers, loyal Republicans
and war Democrats think of the i'm
pudence which prompts a political par
ty to present such man, no matter
of how great ability, to the people of
loyal Wisconsin for their suffrages at

While John Kelly, of New York, has
no idea that he will be elected Govern
or of that State he feels quite conf
dent of his ability to smash the DEM
ocratic smachine' thereby securing
the defeat of Tilden's man Robinson.
Kelly's candidacy is fun for the Re-
publicaDs of the Empire State, but it
spreads dismay among the friends of
Tilden. The Republicans of New
York feel confident of success and will
doubtless achieve it; if such should
prove to be the case, ''prominent"
Democrats throughout the country
will feel that this is cold, uncharit-
able world.

BUDDING.

BUDDING.
AS BUDDING is quicker method of
propagating choice varities of apples,
and getting returns, than grating, we
will give a short description of the
work to be done in budding one kind
of apple tree into another. Another
advantage is that even the more ten
der kinds of standard stock can sue
cessfully be ingrafted into hardy crab
trees. Do not select too large trees or
limbs into which to insert the buds.
Budding is inserting the buds of one
tree under the bark of another. 1t is
most successfully done in August,
when the trees are in their most Wig
orous growth. The buds should be
fully developed and the terminal bud
perfected. The buds are cut smooth
ly off, very little of the wood being
taken with them. A cut is then made
in the branch or tree, where the bud is
to be set, in the shape of T, the bark
lifted, and the bud slipped under it.
The tree should then be wrapped, leav-
ing only the bud exposed. Eastwood
bark makes the best bandage, but cloth
will answer the purpose. If in two
weeks the bud begins to swell, it has
taken. and in a short time the bandage
may be removed; if it has not taken.
the operation may be tried again the
same season or the stock left over to
be grated in the spring. 1t is best
usually to bud near the ground when
convenient.
When number of buds are to be
cut at once, they should be stripped
of their leaves and packed in damp
clothes or sawdust, in a cool cellar. All
suckers, being shoots that appear be
low the bud, should be removed.
A SUGGESTION.
This being about the season of the
year when many farmers, for conven'
fence, commence to turn their stock
into their fields il viii be saving OF
time, money and much vexation, to
Immediately repair if it has not been
done already, the fences surrounding
the orchard trees, and thus keep all
cattle from destroying what has al
ready cost much patient labor.

TAXPAYERS should not forget that
the State tax for 1879 is far less than
it has been for any year during the
last decade and that there will be no
deficiency at the end of the year to be
paid by increased taxation in 1880.
For this favorable state of affairs the
the present State officers are entitled
to great credit and an endorsement for
a second term.
