ted with Garfield while willing to
cover up his corruption, do not hest

tute Of moral courage, and has no will
power to be relied on for any emer-
gency. He has been constantly used
by men of inferior capacity, but Of

Death Of the Republican Party.

DEAN OF the Republican Party.
When a man,is fighting q desper-
ate battle and hesitates or falters, he
is lost. The Republican party has
for twenty years keptitself in power
by bold, daring, forcible and unhesi.
tating action. In the Chicago nom-
mating Convention the strongest
man in the Republican party, Gen.
eral Grant, was a candidate for the
nomination. The convention wal.
vered for week, hesitated for days,
faltered and failed. Itbeat the strong
man, nominated a weak one and de.
feat must follow. Grant had the in.
fluence of the army, the x.soldiers,
the money, the Office holders and the
strong political managers to back
him; Garfield has nothing but him,
self, with very faulty record to drag
him down.
The Democrats wanted Grant NOM
mated because they believed they
could beat him and forever put to
rest the third termi idea. They feared
that the Republican party might
nominate some man with a spotless
record and popular way like Abra-
ham Lincoln, who would have been
harder to beat than Grant, but they
never dreamed of such an easy oppo.
nent as Garfield being stumbled up
on. We have only to beat the salary
grab, Credit-Mobilier fraud and SINH.
lar jobs to beat Garfield. The Demo.
cratic party has stood many defeat;
they are as unainching as the "old
guard" but a National defeat to the
Republican party will be their death.
They have faltered, they will fail;
and after March 4th, 1881, there will
be no Republican party.

Home and Foreign Crop Pros

II would not have been a greatsur-
prise, moreover a great calamity, if
this seasons crops had fallen far be-
low the present prospects.
The successive years of abundance
which this country has enjoyed have
induced many to look this year for a
4urn in our fortune.
But thus far the indications prom
Use more than average crop of ce-
reals, an abundant supply Of all
kinds Of fruit, and failure or fam
inc in none of the staple products Of
the country. Ifthis promise is real
lied, the country ought to reach a
higher plane Of prosperity than at
any time since the war.
The reports from abroad also fore
cast an excellent harvest this sum.
mer over all the British isles, and in.
deed, the whole Of Western Europe
is reported big with agricultural
promise.
Thus, with the present prospect of
an unprecedented wheat crop in the
United States this year, we may hope
for q widespread abundance offood
products of the world. Though this
may, at first Thought, seem adyerseto
American supremacy as respects the
great grain-growing interest of the
world, it is far otherwise. For com.
ing in our Presidential year it will
serve to quiet and encourage the pop
ular mind, and whatever surplus of
grain we may have will find sooner
or later good demand at compensa-
tive prices.
