A LAST APPEAL.

To the Editor of the Times Union:
For several days past two men, representing
themselves as land buyers, have been in our
town. They said they were looking for invest
ments, but declined to look at lands. A close
watch was kept on them, and the fact developed
that they were, on several occasions, in close
consultation with some OF our prominent Re-
publicans.
1t appears now that they have been in the
counties south of us also Who are they :
We think they are looking for place To spread

along the line and tell the boys to be vigilant.

KNOWS CLEVELAND.

An eastern gentleman visiting this
city a few days since told the INTER-
OCEAN that he and Cleveland were play
mates in their boyhood; that they went
to school together, and that Grover was
q wild kid, being almost a terror to. cats.
He speaks highly of Cleveland's family,
and says they were highly respected by
all; but Grover gave his parents a great
deal of trouble in his young days. Our
informant says he watched the develop
ment Of young Cleveland with q great
deal deal Of interest and that his general
conduct has been such, considering his
early opportunities and training, as to
earn for him::the distinction Of being the
lost % sheep Of the Cleveland family. Hi

Our Democratic brethren are having
considerable fun over a telegram sent
the editor of this paper last Sunday by
Major Edwards Of Fargo. The telegram
was to the effect that Butler and st.
John votes had been counted for Cleve-
land in New York. Previous political
differences between Major Edwards and
the editor of the INrER-OoEAN were
cited as proof conclusive that the tele-
gram was a "sell." In justice to the
Major, however, we will say that the
news from the east upon which he based
his telegram showed that there was evi-
dence that Butler and st. John ballots
had been counted for Cleveland, and
the telegram he sent us had good and
sufficient foundation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. GA dispatch re-
ceived tonight at the Pioneer Press
bureau from E. A. Burke, of the New
Orleans Times (Dem.), says: "Cleve-
land and Hendricks have a majority in
Louisiana of about 5000. It is more
likely to reach 10000 than to 60 below
the former figures. Nearly all the
parishes have been heard from"
The following dispatch was received
here tonight from Representative KEEL
logg, of Louisiana:
New Orleans, Nov. 6.-The Demo-
Gratis claim about 600 majority against
me. The returns from iberia. parish
were held back to increase the vote
against me, If necessary. They had two
separate boxes, and the counting out
and stuthng in the congressional boxes
was simply infamous. Brlldozing was
resorted to in both St. Mary's and Iberia
parishes. In the latter nearly all our
colored leaders were killed and our
white leaders imprisoned. The bribery,
intimidation, ballot box stuf6ng and
murder equaled anything ever before
known in the history of the state. The
truth is open, palpable and abundant.

A Good Corn Country.

.H.-
North Dakota farmers ought to find
much consolation for the low prices
offered for their abundant wheat crop
in the fact that the experience of the
past season has fully demonstrated that
they are living in a good corn country.
They were so engrossed in raising their
M staple that they gave very little at
tention to other crops until. the present
year, when, by good luck, just in time
to meet the encouragement over the
prices ruling for wheat, there was con-
siderable acreage put in corn, mainly
by new settlers. all the way from Fargo
to Belfeld, near the western boundary
of the Territory. With hardly an ex-
ception the yield has been excellent.
The variety planted was the flint, which
natures early and q be depended
upon, if planted in season, to escape be-
ing nipped by the frost. Next year the
acreage planted will, no doubt, be in
creased tenfold.
This success with corn means more
diversified farming in future throughout
the Northern Pacific belt. Wheat will
continue to be the main crop, and
ought to be, for it can be raised at less
cost per bushel in North Dakota than in
any other part Of the United States; but
it will not be the farmers sole depend
ence. With a productive cornteld he
can raise hogs and provide for his own
meat supply. A corn crop country is
always a mortgage country. Mixed
farmi ing is what pays in the long run.
Iowa was mortgaged for more than it
was worth in the early days of its set
Element, but mixed farming brought the
farmers out all right, and the state is
now n of the richest agricultural re-
gions in the union. Dakota is going
through the same experience. Too
many farmers r buying everything
they eat, and paying twelve or fifteen
per cent. on borrowed money. When
they begin raising less wheat and more
hogs and cattle, the end of their
troubles will be close at hand.

THERE could not have been much en-
.thusiasm for Mr. Cleveland in Buffalo.
Mr.: Blaine carried the ward in which
Cleveland lives by 2s9 votes over the
Democratic nominee and 278 votes
over all--Cleveland, Butler and St. John.
The man from Maine also carried the
city Of Buffalo and Erie county; that is
to say, the facts set forth here are &C.
Scording to the original returns. Bar
mum and Manning's manipulation Of
the ballots from Erie county will prob
ably change the result.
