Farmers have been very busy this week
finishing up fall seeding, which is unusually
late for this locality. The weather, however,
is unusually fine. With our forest leaves yet
fresh and green, our grass as verdant as is
often seen in the month of May, we can
scarcely realize that we have left the autumnal
equinox so far in the rear, and escaped Jack
Frost's nipping propensities.
To be better prepared for rapidly increasing
business here, Mr.. N. Englar has just COM
pleted an addition, 16x20 feet, to his store

demands of his many customers.

Fruit has been very scarce here this season.
Garden vegetables are very plenty, and as
Hallow Eve approaches sour-krout making

A Humiliating Spectacle.

From the Baltimore american Of Thursday.
Last night the Republican Judiciary Con-
vention endorsed the Sunhower ticket, which
action on its part was equivalent to nominal
ing by Republican convention three Demo
Gratis and one Republican This being thing
beyond the legitimate authority of the con-
vention to do, its action binds nobody, and
the Republican voters are left free to vote their
individual preferences.
~. The convention which made this trade was
nominated at primaries not under the super
vision of the City Executive Committee, but
of the State Central Committee. Its prima-
ries were packed, and its convention was
packed by third term bosses, and thus does
not represent the Republican voters. How
long the Stalwart bosses have been In league
with the dissatisfied Democrats to fix up this
slate can at present only be conjectured. 1t
was put through by the Concordia meeting
and by the Republican packed convention in
the same manner, and fair discussion hooted
at by Custom-house and Postofice employees.
The Republicans will be called on to contri-
butte three fourths of the votes and four-fifths
of the money to aid the Democratic party to
reform its abuses. Those Republican voters
who desire to do this, and who feel themselves
bound by the action of the convention which
nominated three Democrats and one Repub-
lican, will vote the Sunfower Ticket.
But there is very widespread belief that
the dissatisfied Democrats will gladly accept
Republican support of the three Democrats,
but will themselves scratch the name of the
only Republican candidate on the ticket. Mr..
Stewart has friends who think that he ought
to have been on the regular ticket. They will
vote for him, but not for the Republican on
the ticket with him. The same may be said
of other candidates, and thus the Republicans
may find that they have been made a cats
paw.
For the present the Republican voters have
nothing to guide them. The trading, packed
convention, of course, binds no Republican
when it dominates Democrats. The voters
will, therefore, do well to consider carefully
their votes. 1t is probable that hereafter dis
closures may be made which will make their
path of duty plain before them. Therefore,
it may be best to wait for while, and bear as
patiently as possible the humiliating confession
of the convention that the Republican party
has only one man fit to nominate for the bench,
and the deeper humiliation that the conven-
ton has sold out the party, as if its voters
were mere chattels

The Outlook in Important States.
GEN. Buffers Prospects-FOIger's Defeat
Predicted-The Illinois Legfslature-An
the Far West.
Eroln AZ RaItimore Sim

From the Baltimore iSun: .,g 5i..F {
WASHINGTON, Oct 18.-Some interesting
information as to the political situation in sew
eral important States was received here to-day.
An Ex-Governor of Massachusetts, whose Re.
publicanism is of the staunchest, and who has
always been considered one of the most prac-
teal and far-seeing of politicians, says that he
will be surprised if Ben. Butler is not elected
Governor of Massachusetts,. He looks also
for Democratic gains in Congressman from
Massachusetts,. For some days bets have been
offered here that Butler will be elected.
A Stalwart Republican who came from New
York to-day predicted that Folger would be
defeated by &C, 900 majority. On the strength
of this and other information which he re-
garded as reliable, a we'll known sporting man
here made tonight bets of 500 each that
Cleveland would be elected by twenty, by
thirty and by forty thousand majority. :
An official holding one of the highest fed
eral positions in Illinois, Grant man and q
devoted friend of Senator Logan, in private
danger that the Republicans will not have a
majority in the next Legislature of Illinois,
with it's prize of the United States Senator
ship There is very serious absence of har-
mony among Republicans in number OF the
legislative districts Independent candidates
are running all over the State, and in addition
to the Democratic and Republican candidates,
the Greenbackers, Anti monopolists and Pro,
hibitionists have set up candidates in many Of
the districts. The writer says it will be al
most miracle if these organizations do moi
hold the balance of power in the Legislature,
and the chances are very fair for straightout
Democratic majority.
From Nebraska the news comes that Sena-
tor Van Wyck has taken a stand against the
Republican candidates for Congress. In the
third district there are three Republican can
didates, which is thought will insure the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidate.
Advices received from Colorado indicate
that the Republicans are becoming little
anxious concerning the Legislature, which
also has the election of a United States Sena
tor. Htf
Advices from Republican sources in Wis,
consin concede the election of three Demo
cratic Congressman in that State, with the
chances in favor of another.

Robbery in Westminster.

When Mr.. John Brown went to the store of
N. |. Gorsuch & Son yesterday morning about
CLOCK he discovered that the warehouse
had been entered during the night, and a lit
tie search revealed that burglary had been
committed. An entry had been effected by
prizing open a window in the rear of the ware
house. Both doors of the safe, which was
made by Mosler, Bahman & Co., of Cincin-
natl, were blown open by means of some ex-
plosive, supposed to have been dynamite.
About $125 in money was stolen from the safe
and a small amount from the money drawers
One of the money drawers was found in a
grain bin, where it had been thrown by the
burglars, and the safe drawer, which had con-
tanned the money, was found on the railroad
track. The checks and papers in the safe
were not taken. One check for $50 was still
in the drawer found down the railroad track
The thieves left behind crowbar and two
picks, one of which was stamped with the
mark of the w. M. r. r. One of the clerks
slept in the room over the store, but heard no
noise during the night.

For the Democratic Adrocate.

MEssRs EDITORS 1t is gratifying to see
all around me the evident contentment and
satisfaction with which the Democrats have
received the congressional and judicial nomi-
nations of their party. This, to me, is an ev-
idence of success on the 7th of November, an
event, the anticipation of which must be hailed
with joy by every good Democrat. While
this is true, it is also true that there are few
calling themselves Democrats who are not
satisfied because their individual choice for
judge was not selected. All of these, be-
lieve, took part in the primary contest and
voted at the primary election. For these men
now to abstain from voting, or even to be
lukewarm, is not fair to the candidate, and
has a tendency to disorganization. Others
reported as dissatisfied, and opposed to the
ticket, are office holders, Or have been enjoy
ing the fruits of Democratic success. These
men, of all others, should not falter now.
They should remember that Democracy is not
a matter of personal politics. When they
vote the Democratic ticket they vote orprin-
ciples and not men. If they cannot view it
in that light, they should give up their places,
and give way to Democrats actuated by prin-
ciples. HONEST.

ness. The groom is very wealthy, being re-
puted to be worth half million, and the town
of Elyria is named after his father. The

ster Co.'S. finest coupes from New York,
which just arrived yesterday, with horse and
driver all complete, its first use being to bear
the newly welded pair from the church. Mr..
