ADVANCE IN FREIGHTS.

The failure of the crops in Europe has
not yet caused a rise in the price of
wheat in the United States. This would
seem almost inexplicable, but the adj
vance in freights in the east makes it all
plain. The producer and not the dealer
in wheat pays for the transportation of
his grain. The farmer in Wisconsin
receives just so much less per bushel for
his grain as the advance in freights
amounts to. The railroads east from
Chicago have formed combination by
which certain price per bushel for the
grain is fixed, this price being greatly in
excess of the rates prevailing within the
last year. The advance in freights took
place last Monday. 1t is evident there
fore that the price of wheat will be less
in Wisconsin unless the price in New
York advances sufficiently to cover the
increased expense of transportation.
There can be no doubt that there will
be an advance in the price of wheat.
The failure of the crop in Europe
makes this imperative. Wheat sold now
and held by the dealer will pay him a
handsome profit. The price will remain
low while grain is rushed to the market
and this is generally the case in Septem-
Der. It will be wise for the farmers to
sell just so much wheat as will satisfy
their immediate wants and wait for better
prices.

THE democrats of New York will soon
learn that dissensions lead to defeat. 1t
is exasperating to see them throw away
certainty of victory because of want of
harmony. The republicans defed pub
lie opinion by placing in nomination for
governor man whose official acts were
a disgrace to the nation. The democrats
had victory within their grasp but reck-
lessly threw it away by putting two tick
cts in the field. The blame seems to
properly belong to Tammany and if so it
is to be hoped this last step will put an
end to the organization. The election
for president is too near to aggravate
slight differences, or to bolt state ticket
because of dissatisfaction with one of the
nominees.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1879-09-18
THE TICKET.

The ticket nominated at Madison on
the 9th would be an excellent on3 but
for the fatal blunder at the outset. With
a good nomination for governor there
would be reasonable probability of the
election of the ticket this fall. In point
of ability the ticket is far ahead of that
presented by the republicans. Senator
Haben of Winnebago is man so popu-
lar in his own county that he was elected
senator there though the republicans are
largely in the ascendancy. He is Ger
man American, a thorough gentleman
and very popular man. There can be
no doubt that he will add considerable
strength to the ticket in Winnebago
county. Sam. Ryan is one of these men
whom every one knows. He is one of
the old settlers of the state, ard has fig
ured conspicuously in the most import
ant events. Under his editorial manage
ment the Crescent has become known
throughout the state as an able and
influential journal. Ryan has written
more editorial matter and made more
speeches than any other editor in the
state. He has no lack of friends as will
clearly be shown in the November cleo
ton.
Geo. Fl. King of Monroe, the candidate
for lieut.. governor, is said to be man of
sterling worth. He has had some ex-
perience in political life and stands high
in the estimation of all who know him.
J. Montgomery Smith is son of Gen.
Smith who held the Office for which his
son is now nominated. He is a lawyer
of considerable celebrity and the nomin-
alton is said to be very good one.
Edward Soaring the candidate for state
superintendent has held the position for
two terms. The change to Whitford
was certainly not an Improvement.
The above men are too good to be
placed on an acephalous ticket. With
such names and correspondingly good
one as the nominee for governor, the
chances of success this fall would be
excellent. 1t may not be too late to
remedy the blunder committed, and a
good fight may yet be made.
A number of the republican papers
affect to throw the blame of MITCHELL
nomination on 10. Rankin. 1t is well
known by every one at the convention,
that Mr.. Rankin disapproved of the
nomination as he was satisfied from the
first that Mitchell would not accept

exception of Messrs Jenkins and White

The declination eff Alexander Mitchell
leaves the democracy of the state in a
very unenviable position and their anger
will very justly be directed toward those
men who forced his nomination in the
very face of indubitable facts that he
would refuse to accept. The gentlemen
who urged his nomination affected to
disbelieve the kilograms which unequiv-
ocally expressed his determination not
to be candidate, and for the moment
induced majority of the delegates to
believe likewise. 1t was q very absurd
movement, and the gentleman from
Buffalo" and General Hobart are Justly
deserving of the severest censure. We
cannot rid ourself of the belief that
nomination unanimously rendered to
Col. Villas would be accepted. He is the
idol of the people and his very presence
at the convention was greeted with the
widest enthusiasm. Such expressions
of devotion would naturally induce
man to sacrifice his own inclinations in
the interests of party every man of
whom respects and admires him. With
Col. Villas as the nominee for governor
the democrats of the state would be in
spired with degree of enthusiasm
which would insure victory.
The nomination of Mitchell was
wretched mistake. Before a suitable
candidate can be substituted much time
will be lost, and candidate selected by
the committee will not have the same
chances of election that he would have if
selected by the convention. Messrs.
Hobart and Lee have much to answer
