York. &C.. 10y their predictions of success
in Virginia. II they have no more reason
for expecting to carry those States for
BLAINE than they have for expecting TO
carry this State for him, then their pros

KER, of Ohio. who recently made speech
in Staunton, was interviewed the other
DAY, and expressed himself concerning
Virginia as follows:
REPORTER: GLOW about Virginia."
JUDGE FORAKER: 81 have never seen
more enthusiasm. except at Chicago, when
Blaine was nominated, and at the Brook
lyn meeting, than was evinced at meeting
ri stanton, Va. The body OF the hall was
filled by whites mainly, and the cOloled
people crowded the galleries. Really, the
sight was affecting. The people seemed
literally hungry for Republicanism. Ii
was more like camp-meeting than any
thing else. | was never so inspired to
make q speech, and with all mOdesty can
tru,hiuly say that ii ever made good
speech | made one then; If didn't. then
It never was in me to make good speech"
why should Republicans pack their ne
gro voters in the galleries, Judge FORA
KER?l
Now. it will be seen that though Judge
FORAKER ingeniou5lv eyaded the reporters

rigid scrutiny, yet his language was in

would carry Virginia. The people OF the

speeches Of las, year. We would that we

season. When the south express came to the
station they boarded thestrain, offering the
conductor the exact amount forlumbermen's
tickets to Eau Claire, which he refused on the
ground that it was contrary TO his instruc-
tons. Conductor Fields held the train and
asked for instructions, which were to collect
full fare The men had but that amount and
were determined to get over to Eau Claire.
So, after holding the train for about two
hours, they accepted the fare of lumbermen's
rates and pulled out pleased and hilarious

The Preston Stock Farm.

M. T Grattan, Of the Preston stock farm
has published circular giving a full discrip-
ton of the three principal stations used in
his stud. Of course Herod stands first on
the list. He is black horse foaled in 1866,
sired by King Herod, dam by Green Noun
tain Boy, He is standard, and is little over
Is hands, with record Of 2:26$, and is one
of the most compact and blocky trotting stall
lions in the world, with perfectly clean limbs
and the best of feet.
Trample is bay horse foaled in 1874, got
by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, dam by Shlek,
son of Green's Bastard, and was bred by
Daniel Hayes, of Muscotine, Iowa. Trample
was entered as four-year oldin all the events
for that age within seventy-fve miles of
Preston, and did not lose heat. As a five
year old he won several races, no heat faster
than so and in his last race, at Preston, over
a slow half-nile track deep in mud he trotted
a fifth heat in 1852, since which time he has
not been trained or started in a race. These
facts entitle him to great credit as trotter,
and Mr.. Grattan has great confidence in his
ability to get trotters. He is almost 16 hands
and weighs, in common flesh, 1, 100 pounds.
Comus is brown horse, foaled in 1874, by
imported Monarch P. N. S, B. 313, dam by
Riley, son of Ohio Copperbottom. He is a
splendid draft horse. On his dams side
Comus comes from that large, handsome
Ohio family, whose qualities are correctly ex-
pressed by their name.

THE RAILROADS.
The bar Opened.

All who have read the papers are aware
that the Canadian Pacific road, for the Dur
nose of drawing business announced that
tbev would reduce the passenger rates to
50. Is from Montreal to Winnipeg. Of course
that rate could not go into effect until lake
navigation was opened as they had to take
the people across Lake Superior to Thunder
bav. where they would take the road for Win
ninee. The time is approaching
when navigation will be opened and
rs a matter of course the American lines are
nreparing for the contest and do not propos,
to weld the business that would naturally
come over their lines without a struggle.
The lines between Chicago and st. Paul, and
the ST. Paul and Manitoba road, which con-
stitutes the rail line between Chicago and st.
Vincent, and really between Chicago and
Winnipeg, have girded up their loins and
prepared to take up the fight and in pursuance
of that determination have made the following
large reductions in rates on business going into
Manitoba and northwestern territory, to take
effect April 1, 1884. This is the first bid on
the part of the American lines to secure this
trade. The following are few of the COM
PARSONS in rates. 1t is expected this reduc
ton will secure large shipments from Ontario
and Oubec as against the water route via
Port Arthur, which will not receive business
much before June 1. Rates to other points
on the Canadian Pacific road are reduced
in the same proportion from Chicago to Win
