that the convention be called under the
old representation, which would give
Waukesba six delegates, instead Of four

representation under the new apportion-

the nomination, represented himself
Both sides claim 70 have come out ahead,

IN A WAY OF SETTLEMENT.

Republicans everywhere will be g lad to
learn that the differences sthat have arts
en- in the Republican party of Pennsyl-
vania are in fair way of settlement and
that the outlook for Democratic success
through Republican divisions appears re.
moter every day. Both factions seem to
be in mood to favor any reasonable
compromise whereby but one Republican
state ticket will appear in the field
against the democratic candidates. Sew
eral plans have been proposed as the ba-
sis of settlement, but none of them have
been as yet definitely agreed upon. One
is for the candidates on both state tickets
to tender their designations to their re-
spective committees and to call {. new
convention and make new nominations.
Another is for both sets of candidates to
resign, and let thu people at the primaries
decide the question as to the choice OF
the two tickets, and that this decision
shall settle it without calling a new con-
yention.
The Cameron State committee has call
ed meeting for to-day at which proba-
bly, some scheme will be adopted which
with lead TO satisfactory settlement ofthe
questions at issue It is thought that
both Beaver and Stewart will agree to re-
tire from the canvass as candidates for
governor and au entire new ticket select
ed that will settle the troubled waters of
discord.

had notified two other gentlemen to be
present, and introduced George Schott, Of
Dodge, and Andrew Martin, OF Washing

DUSTY protested against the admission Of
the gentlemen named, as Dodge and
Washington would have two delegates

The great need of the business commu-

that due consideration should be taken

The advices from the Agricultural De
partment at Washington about the crops
are OF very encouraging character from
every section Of the country. The wheat
and oat crops are turning out even bet
ter than was expected a month ago. The
reports in regard to corn are improving
every day. In the main, it is coming on
rapidly and most favorably in spite Of
the backward start. The returns Of the
grass crop show it to be unusually heavy

THE GOLDEN POCKLTNGTON
GRAPE.

For the benefit Of cur patrons who may
contemplate planting grape vines during
the coming season, we copy the following
from Colman's Rural World, of St. Louis
Mo-, IN relation to this famous white
grape, which is of special interest, COM
ing, as it does, from the originator of the
MARTHA grape.
FRIEND COLEMAN:-W have heard
so much about the two New White Grapes
of the North. Niagara and Pocklington,
that our curiosity was greatly aroused.
The latter we have growing, the former it
seems was not to be had for love ofmoney.
Now, however, since reading CampbelPs
comparison made at Boston, we feel as
well without the Niagara. He says:
'Bunches larger than the illustrat ons,
and weighing more than pound. Much
the largest and most attractive white
grape of native origin yet introduced,
throwing the Niagara, which were ex-
hihited beside it entirely in the shade"
Last Friday [ received from Rochester,
a small basket of Pocklington IN most eX-
cellent condition, and nothing for long
time afforded us more pleasure. Although
he fruit was taken from vines planted
only twenty-nine months ago, and the
vines left to overbear, for the purpose OF
ascertaining what they could do, some of
the punches weighed over half pound,
and some of the berries measured almost
one inch in diamater. In quality, it is,
to my taste, Just about good enough. 1t
is somewhat like the Martha, but less
foxy and better.
We learn that the originator sent four
shoots to an exhibition with three
punches on each, and the twelve bunches
weighed eleven pounds This has pro
baby never been done before by an
American grape. A popularity about it
is that many of the smaller berries have
hut a single seed, while the AVERAGE is
but two, The largest berries usually three
and in one found four. The seeds are
small for so large grape Here is near
ly all rich, sweet. buttery matter, instead
Of good part of berry being composed OF
seed IF my Judgment is correct, four
teen pounds of these grapes will make a
gallon of wine. and it will make good
wine without doubt It will, however,
be some years before much wine will he
made out of it. for it will be in too great
demand for the table.
While Martha has done nobly-and
thousands of acres are planted with it
and | need not be ashamed of having or
iginated til now resign and give the
palm to Mr. Pocklington. It is a strong
grower, and looks as healthy as any vine
| ever saw. I have no vines for sale,
and therefore no axe to grind, but simply
write this so those who intend to plant
should not fail to plant it. It is most
beautiful fruit. The seed can be seen If
the berry he held between the light and
ones eye.
] have bad the fruit since last Friday,
(Oct. 28th), and this evening bunch of
It is fresh and sound. This, after travel
ing a thousand miles by express, tells
what its keeping qualities are
