WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, d. c. Nov. 81, 10.
Many persons, even 40 good n
reasoner rs Mr.. Tildcn among them,
seem to believe the radical party
will lepvc IN the public mind credit
for the return OF better times to the
country. 1t was not so in Massa
chusetts, where Butler got as many
votes ~ last year, or IN Maine, or
Ohio, or New York. Men general
ly are too sensible to give II party
credit for good crops. am per.
suadod that tho enlarged freedom
which general prosperity gives to
individuals will work to the advan-
tage rather OF the Democratic par
ty to which three fourths of the
people naturally belong than to
that OF any other organization.
There is no instance in our history
for generations, of the defeat Of
that party except through an ap.
parent crlsis in pnbic affairs, or
" hurral' for some popular favorite.
"Good times" are the times in
which men vote AS they wish.
However, il Ia none the less the
duty of the Democratic party to
nike acceptable nomination, even
il in doing so they have to drop
all the men yet,namod tor the Pres.
idency and Vice Presidency. and
select entirely new men.
Those ridiculous persons who
organized here Southern Repub

were, let MS hope, not fair exam
p'es of the radical party Of the
South. Tie or,ginalwhito officers
of,he Club gave way to negroes,
who after running the organization
for few weeks, also resigned.
These dlsrcpu,able characters, who
managed and ruined Southern
States few years ago are unable
10 agree among themselves over
the distribution Of n few present
and prospective offices.
1t is said that the Governor of
Maine will to-day issue certificates
of election to enough Democrats
and GrceHbackcrs to give those
parties control OF both branches OF
the Legislature. BY the face OF
the returns,the Republicans seemed
to have elected majority OF both
branches. The proposed action OF
the Governor causes intense excite

Harvesting has commenced, and eve
ny body is into it head over heels.
Wheat does not average very good this
year, but oats are /. good and heavy
crop. The corn is also very good. Po-
tatoes, peas and flax are good. If the
farmers would get one or two good
crops they would be singing and whist
ling wherever they went. The weather
is nice for harvesting and haying.
The hoppers have left us I'LL alone to
take care of our grain. Thank God for
it.
There was $50 acres of land broken in
this new town this summer, which
speaks well fer those few farmers that
were in it. They are a hard working
class Of people and are bound to live,
and will live. They are all very ac-
tive executing few down-learted and
discouraged bachelors. They work
well, but don't seem to think what a
dear wife they might have, if they only
tried, which would be half of the bread
in the house. Hope these old hard
heads will take the hint this time and
do their duty i'll that respect.

EDITOR ADVANCE: I send you 4
sample of our best wheat raised on G..
S. Barclays farm. I think as good as
any in town. In the last ten days
have visited a part Of the town of West
side and have examined a good many
pieces Of wheat. 1 find number of
good pieces and some very poor. Mr..
Grace has 172 acres on section 16 that
is good for Is or 20 bushels to the acre
and GO acres Oh section II is good for Is
bushels to the acre, and 27O acres on II
is good for 8 or 10. John Ellsworth
has some good wheat. The rest of the
wheat IS more or less grasshoppered and
hardly worth cutting III some places.
1t is very short straw and short heals.
1t is hard to tell what this wheat
will yield. 1t may do better than we
think, for the quality is very fair.
l will SEND you Il sample in a few days
of the poor wheat. Oats, barley and
corn all good.
Paul Voightlander has $50 acres in
wheat, rather poor. 81 acres in corn,
good; 40 Of flax, good; 20 of rye, good;
80 Of oats, good and 10 of barley good.
