Now that the World sees that its candidates op-
position to the tariffs losing him votes it is making
frantic efforts to prove him protectionist and
friend of American labor. 1t won't do. Professor
Perry has vouched for the governor free traders
so has Hurd so has Watterson, so has Carlisle, so
has Morrison, has DOrsheimer, so has Nelson and
so has the World.-Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. Blaine's reception at the Governors homo
was arranged on four days notice; Mr.. Cleye-
lands "surprise'' has been in preparation eight
weeks. The procession on the occasion of Blaine's
visit numbered by actual count 1924; on the oc-
cssion of Cleyelands coming turnout numbered by
actual count $685.. On the former occasion three
quarters Of the procession was composed of resi-
dents OF this cty last night half the paraders came
from abroad large delegation from the outside of
the State.-BuhalO Commercial.
1t has been discovered that young man en-
ployed in the office of Democratic State official
at Albany, informed friend that he had been as
sessed five per of his salary for political pur.
poses. The assessment was peremptory and tho
Young man to meet it was compelled to borrow the
money. 1t is understood that his fellow Democratic
clei ks at the capitol were also assessed and that
the urgency with which the tax was levied was ex-
planned by the fact that the money was needed for
use in Ohio. In the city Of Albany the most out
rageOus assessments are levied every Democratic
city official and at the capitol it is the rnle and not
the exception to demand contributions for Cleye-
land and Reform.
The Democratic party does not dare to stand ont,
as the Republican party does, and confess and de-
fend its faith. 1t is pledged the cause Of free
trade, pledged by its professions, its history it
very latest Congressional acts But it does not
oare TO stand by its coors. 1t avoids the dis

Bulletin No. 4, just issued by the Maine
R0ard If A n.vn.

Bulletin No. 4, just issued by the Maine
Board of Agriculture, says:
The crop Of apples in this State is full one.
Information received from every section of the
State in which fruit is grown to any consider
able extent shows that the crop is above an
average. This, taken in connection with the
fact that the number of bearing trees is yearly
on the increase from recent setting, gives the
State crop that never before has been ex-
celled in the aggregate.
In Michigan the returns of September LIST TO
the Board Of Agriculture of that State, show
the crop of Winter fruit to be 81 per cent of
an average. This showing has slightly i'm
proved since that date from the unusually
favorable conditions prevailing through Sep
tember. This crop will give large surplus to
be sold out the State.
In New York the crop is somewhat variable.
In certain localities it was destroyed by the
freeze of May %, while in other localities and
on higher lands there is heavy crop.
In Connecticut the crop ia variable, but on
the whole about an average over the State.
In Massachusetts, the crop, on the whole, is
quite abundant and above an average.
New Hampshire gives full average crop,
varying somewhat in different localities on
account of frost in Spring and severe drought
later.
European markets afford an outlet for our
surplus. 1t is conceded on all hands that this
foreign demand will call for large trade in
this year crop. Recent London advices show
that the crop there Is proving very light, and
indicate that the demand for American fruits
bids fair to exceed the supply.

Mr.. Blaine Receives a Hearty Welcome
in West Virginia.
PARAMOUNT, w. Va, Oct. 6.-Mr. Blaine's
party left Wheeling st 8 o'clock this morning,
by special train on the Baltimore & Ohio road,
for Grafton. Gen. Adam King, of Baltimore.
separated from the party at Wheeling, to re-
turn to work in Ohio. At Wheeling depot
there was quite large demonstration, and as
the train moved slowly out OF the CITY, the
workmen came out of the shops aud the peo-
pie out OF the houses, aud cheered. The first
stop was made at Moundsville. The chairman
OF the Republican State committee introduced
Mr. Blaine, who was warmly received. he
said:
am glad to meet the citizens of Marshall countv
ana u am m glad to be in West Virginia. consider it
earnest contest is going in what was once slave
State for the ascendancy of Republican principles;
and Republican principles this year mean a tsriff
for protection of American labor. If West Virgin
la is in favor of that she is Republican, if she s
opposed to it she is not Republican. The decision
more directly interested ia the promotion of manu-
factures than your State. Your rich beds of coal
and IRON and your vast forestsall your natural
sources favor great development of manufactur-
ing Industries. They can be developed under pro.
tsctive tariff; they cannot be without it.''
At Cameron, Littleton, Warrington and
Pennington there were brief stops, and at each
point Mr.. Blaine spoke briefly of the import
ance to West Virginia of a protective tariff.
At Fairmount there was quite large meet
ing. Mr.. Blaine left the train and addressed
the people from stand. Here, as at all pre-
ceding points, the people were very enthusiast
tic.
From Grafton, the train turned again
toward the Ohio river. At Clarksburg there
was quite large gathering, and there and at
several other points on the route to Parkers-
burg Mr.. Blaine spoke briefly OF protection 20
American industries as the chief issue
of the campaign. Bishop Walden
of the Methodist Episcopal church and sever
al Methodist ministers who had been attend
ing the conference at Buchanan got aboard the
train at Clarksburg. They were presented to
Mr.. Blaine and conversed with him freely ON
the way to Parkersburg.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
The Constitutional Amendment Carried
by a Majority of $4,000,


HARTFORD, Oct. Clown elections in Con-
nectiout occurred today. The principal politi-
cal interest in the elections for town officers
are in the boards of registration consisting OF
Selectmen and the town clerk which board Is
to decide upon the qualification of voters.
There was vote also today upon the constl-
tutional amendment providing for biennial
sessions of the legislature. The elections for
State officers are already biennial. Five years
ago similar amendment was voted down by
the people by majority of 24,589 in total
vote OF 81 ,449, about half of the full vote OF
the State. The amendment was carried in
the last legislature by q very largo majority,
and it is possible that the people have reversed
The returns SO far as received indicate that
the constitutional amendment providing for
biennial sessions OF the legislature has been
carried by large majority. Many towns that
voted largely against the amendment i've
years ago have voted for it this year. The re-
suit OF the elections for town officers 10 far a5
heard from not indicate any material ehange
In the political character OF the officers elected.
The constitutional amendment providing
for the biennial elections of members of the
legislature and biennial sessions is carried in
this State by majority which looks likely
from the present returns to reach and perhaps
exceed fifteen thousand. The vote against it
i've years ago was ever 24000. The railroad
interests have worked for the amendment and
other corporate interests have favored 1t, as
they desire to be less frequently exposed to a
soSoiesAoA WhtCn may DO uoftll0s 1nerS u@S
been no organized effort to defeat the amend
ment. Hartford voted 1472 against it and
New Haven 3246 for it.
The amendment goes into effect In 1886; thu
legislature elected in November of that year
holding for two years, and thereafter all cleo
tions for the legislature as we'll as for stats
offices will be biennial. The compensation of
member of the legislature will be $500 and
on mileage Of % cents for their term of office.
There is no party or political significance in
the vote on the amendment.
In the elections for town officers the Republi-
cans fully held their own in the State, gener-
ally, as compared with last year. In Hartford
the Republicans and Democrats united on the
candidates for town clerk and treasurer The
Democrats elect majority of the selectmen
which, with the town clerk, comprises the
board of registration of electors. The vote in
the city is about two-thirds of the regis
tered vote and that will probably be about
the ratio throughout the State. Hart
ford voted for liquor license by
a majority of 1880. The cities, generally, vote
for license, while many of the smaller towns
vote against it. These will probably number
considerably more than one-half of the towns
of the State. In Hartford, women were pres
ent at all the polls distributing "no license
votes.

late Cotton Crops.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 6.-The cotton crop
report for the Memphis district, embracing
Arkansas and North Alabama, states that
cotton in the main has not fruited well. From
all over the district serious damage is reported
from drought, rust and excessive rains, These
have caused a general revision of the pros.
be- III per @ cent. less than la last s' year. The Ne
present favorable conditions, together with
the late frost, will improve a large proportion
OF the growing crop, especially in the bottoms,
and possibly make the yield approximate to
last years.
