A subscriber asks, "who are your
candidates for State officers and men,
bers of Congress ?" We answer the
nominees of the Republican State
and Congressional conventions. We
believe it safe to intrust the selection
of our candidates to the conventions.
The delegates will be selected fresh
from the field, will fully understand
public opinion, know as well as we
do, and probably better, the merits
of the men whose names will come
before them, and we nave no desire
to attempt to forestall the action of
the conventions. All we ask is that
the several candidates shall be select
ed with sole reference to their ability
to discharge faithfully and for the
best interests of the State, the duties
which will devolve upon them, by
reason of their election. At the
same time, other things being equal,
we hope to see the long established
usages of the party recognized, and
true men who have been efficient
officers, remembered as they always
deserve to be.

The saloon interest of the State
will re-nominate Jerome if it can, and
then ask temperance Republicans to
help re-elect him on the ground that
it will be a dire calamity to permit
the election of a Democrat to the
office Of Governor, and temperance
Republicans, so called by themselves
at least, will fall into line with the
saloon keepers and vote for him.
The Lever.
Just how much the friends of tenn
perance in this State expect to make
by such articles as the above we
should like to know. We presume
there is not sane man in Michigan
who does not know that in 1880, the
united power of the liquor interest
was Systematically combined to de-
feat the election of Gov. Jerome.
That the saloon men did not vote for
him but that they did cast their solid
vote for Mr.. Holloway. Why
Simply because they knew they
could not use Mr.. Jerome, and
hence would not vote for him. They
know now that they cannot make a
tool of him, and so foolish PROPOSE
ton as that "the saloon interest OF
the State will re-nominate Jerome"
is to ridiculous to be given place in
SO respectable paper as The Lever.
We only ask fair play at the hands Of
The Lever or other political prohibi-
ton journals, but that we demand,

AS the Enquirer is the leading

set down heavily on the so-called

There is no probability, in our
opinion of any such union between the
parties opposed to the Republicans
in this State, as will endanger the
political success of the Republicans
at the polls. Our only danger lies
in dissensions within the party on the
temperance and other really non
partisan issues. We trust all these
exciting questions will be so disposed
of at the conventions as to ensure
perfect harmony in our ranks and
an easy victory. For one we do not
fear coalition. If the Greenbackers
and Democrats attempt to unite, as
possibly they may, the combined vote,
will not be, we think, as large as the
Democratic vote was in 1880, while
such action on their part will secure
full Republican vote, aided by
thousands of men in these parties
who will not consent to be sold out,
by few office seekers, and who are
at heart really opposed to the policy
of, at least, one of the parties to this
proposed combination.

L. Fall Flowing Profitable :

This is subject in farming that is be-
ing much discussed, and about which
there is, very naturally, diversity of opin.
ion among different operators; and there
are two ways in which safe conclusions
may be arrived at that is, discussion and
experiment. Discussion is useful only as
it shall lead to effective experiment
Ny experience, as well as observation,
in many years, assures me, other things
being alike, land powed in the fall for
spring planting gives better results than
land not so plowed, for several reasons,
here just limited at;
Plowing in tho fall destroys many weeds
and insects, and leaves the soil open and
loose, subject to the action of the frost and
weather, by which it is better Stacked and
pulverized, and made fine and friable foi
the use of young plant growth which Is
seeded in the spring. But as soon as dry
enough, in the spring and before planting
the soil should be again stirred and loos
ened on the surface with heavy harrow
or cultivator to prepare it to receive the
seed. This preparation makes the soil
more fine and porous and consequently
| will nourish the plants better than If not
plowed in the fall but only in the spring.
The fall blowing should be done to good
depth, at least eight to twelve inches, to
secure the best possible results in the
case.
| More than this; time is gained and
saved, as generally there is more tint
with the farmer TO do his blowing, OF
much of it, in the fall than in the spring
and so much work will not be rushed oil
his hands altogether in the spring, when
planting is to be done, that he cannot dc
it as carefully and well as it should be.
But it is not good practice to pillow
land in the summer and let it lie naked tc
the sun, but far better to let vegetation
grow on il and shield it till the fall; then
pillow everything under to enrich the sol
and make ii loose for use IN the spring. =

Grumblers at the Fair.

Because there have always been grum-
blers, / suppose it is safe to conclude that
there always will be. The grumbler is q
nuisance. anywhere you put him, but he
never appears to quite so good-or bad
advantage as at the fair. The grumbler
never exhibits anything, but he is always
finding fault with those who do The idea
Of placing that scrubby sheep on exhibit
toni II is evident that the owner thinks
what he has must be better than any body 5
else and that his opinion has such weight
that the mere fact Of his exhibiting ought
to satisfy anyone that he is entitled TO n
premium. If be didn't expect the premi-
UNI he would never exhibit. II he-the
grumbler had a voice in the matter he ney-
er would get an award on such an exhibit
II is shame and disgrace that the iudg-
es will give premiums for such inferior an
imais, or vegetables, or whatever may
happen to be the subject OF that particular
"grumble." The probability is that the
exhibitor is a member Of the county agri-
cultural association, and everybody knows
that that is q ring almost as corrupt as old
"Tsmmany The grumbler never gives
exhibitors credit for desire TO bring out
the best OF this or that. oh, mol he is
only trying for premium. II you ven
ture to express the opinion that the only
way TO find ont who has the best is for ey-
cry man to show the best specimens he
happens to own he will give you suspic-
Gus look, as If be strongly suspected yon
as being one Of the ring" and reply that
che knows how it IT," II be tells you the
cAbbages are conttmpiible specimens and
that he has dozens Of them at home far SUI
perior, and YOU ask why he didn't exhibit
them, then be will answer that he knows
better than to try, he isn't member Of
tue society," Always harping on the idea
that il is impossible for the exhibitor at
the fair 10 have justice done him. The
Judges belong to clique, and will do just
as the officers want them TO. They are APP

ing. He thought no could not wait for
that slow process to get hay crop, so
commenced to manure on thesod, putting

practice up TO now and with satisfactory
results. He has lands that have produced

he said, pillow. if possible, and cultivate
one season by growing corn crop, Hoe

before the corn is harvested, and leave the
land in its roughness. Leaving it in hills
increases the feeding surface and will pro-
