Wheat Markets

Are yet firm and gradually tending higher
the price to-day MAY 18TH having reached
SlOl.
1t was expected that the recent rains would
cause o break in prices. but the '~'clique'' OF
capitalists prevented u decline by buying all
that was offered. The foreign demand Is
good, and our exports almost 100000 bush.
els weekly, and the prevailing opinion Is that
wheat bought on the small declines that occur
every day or two will pay very large profits.

Nashville Banner: The Demo
cratic Presidential slate is still be-
ing scratched. One name is scarce
" marked on it before it is rubbed
out by some protruding finger. Pot
ter, since his defeat has been de.
monstrated, has gone to keep COM
pany with Tilden, while English,
Bayard, Hendricks and many others
stalk across the procession. But
none remain to centralize the gaze
or TO charm the office seekers. They
do not know whom to worship. They
fear to laud any man, for he may
thereby incur the hostility Of the
successful one. On the other hand,
the game is equally uncertain. The
Republican papers that doomed for
Blain and Sherman are moderating
their abuse Of Grant very much.
He is undoubtedly the coming man.
While the papers prefer their favor
ties the people prefer Grant. That
he will be nominated on the first
ballot rests only with Gen. Grant.
His most intimate friends says he
will not accept. But we see in the
papers he was going East to get in
to business. He will get it to a
moral certainty, and the business
will be, pilot to the Ship of State.
If he runs it will be a swift horse
that will beat him. Nothing but the
closing of all splits, the casting
away Of all shot-guns and the Ceas-
ing Of murders in the South can de-
feat him. The Democrats have a
majority beyond question. But they
won't use it. They have grown too
great. They must shoot a postmas.
ter now and then and that is enough
to elect him with ease. Buff they
get possession of their reason, if
they cease TO look askance at Re-
publicans in the South, throw aside
the shotgun and show by peacea-
BILE course in the future that they in
tend to respect the laws. obey the
dictates of common sense and live
under the constitution, they yet have
it in their power to elect the next
President let who will benominated.
Will thew do it ?

Several tobacco shipments will be made
from Big Creek station this season, and
preparations are being made Dy many
citizens Of that section and others OF
the other districts OF this county for eK-
tensive tobacco crops next season.

By the Constitution OF the State
ofMaine a majority of the votes cast
is required to elect a Governor. In
case there is no election by the peo-
pie, it is provided by the Constitu-
ton that the House of Representa-
tives shall select two from the four
candidates receiving the highest
number of votes and send them to
the Senate, and from those two the
Senate shall select a Governor.
This year, the Democrats charge,
there have been intimidation and
bribery of voters, not only in the
contest for the GovernorshIp, but in
the Senatorial and Representative
districts. The Republicans failed by
something less than 1000 votes to
carry the State for their candidate
for Governor but, according to !he
face of the returns thus far publish
ed, they will have a majority in both
branches of the new Legislature.
So the House OF Representatives, in
that event, will be able to send to
the Senate the name of Davis and
one other name, and the Senate
will elect Davis as Governor. The
Democrats claim, however, that
there have been in the Senatorial
and Representative districts frauds
sufficient to afford grounds for throw
ing out the returns in many in
stances and to leave the Democratic
party a majority in both branches of
the new Legislature. There has
been no authoritative declaration on
the part Of the Governor or Coun-
