The Democratic Contest In This Congrss.
ional District-They are After Colonel
len.
Theresult Of the Democratic Convention
in Richie County last Monday shows that
Col.wison is to be closely crowded, II not
defeated, in this district for the Democrat
ic nomination to Congress. In 1873 his
friends in Richie county had things their
own way, and Col. Bob Blair, who was
opposed to the Colonel, was left out OF the
delegation from that county to the Con.
gtessional Convention at New Martins.
vile. But 1t is an old proyerb that an OPP
portunity comes at last to him "who
treasures up wrong" and Col. Bob's OPP.
portunity seems to have come last Mon.
day, for when it was proposed to instruct
the delegates for Col, Wilson, Col. Blair
and his friends were able to defeat it, aud
to send an uninstructed delegation to the
Convention that meets in this city on the
llth Of August.
The Richie Ga.eite says that the County
Convention really stood 10 for Col. VII.
son to % against him. As to how the dele
CATION who will come to the convention
will divide on candidates does not appear
by the record of proceedings, but i. is not
likely that Col. Blair neglected to know
before hand the personal prOclivities Of
the delegation.
The Ga,etis says that as things are now
shaping themselves, 1t looks as II Col. vii.
soa might be defeated at the Wheeling
Convention. We begin to think so, too,
when we see SO many puts appearing
here and there throughout the district in
favor of his competitors. Weare particu-
larry surprised to see the Weston Democrat

Among these added millions OF imports
from Great Britain Is half million tons OF
iron and steel, against nothing year ago
This is what comes of boosting American
iron to s41 per ton, whence it has dropped
to below $50. This is what comes Of
putting wheat 20 or % cents bushel
higher than the Europeans would pay for
1t. Flour for export has dropped in four
months about 81 80 per barrel, cotton also
has begun to fall, mess pork and other
provisions are on tho decline, and dairy
products will soon have to come down.
This decline puts stop to the rise in
the cost of living, and as the season ad-
vances we believe the employed classes
will find it no more difficult to make both
ends meet than it was last year. There
will be an immense reduction Of food this
year, for never before were there so many
million acres devoted to raising it. Unless
a general bad harvest should visit either
America or Europe, We shall see flour,
pork and dairy and farm products at low
prices next fall.
