HITTING THE SPIKE on THE HEAD.
The Fnlda Republican has the fol-
lowing sensible comments on one of
the ADVANCE railroad articles:
No ore who knows anything of the
working Of railroads would suppose for
i moment that the Burlington intends
to make WOrthingtOn its final ter
minus, and its extension is only a mat
ter of time, and Il short time at that.
People are too apt to think that it is
only y matter OF speculation unless the
road is to be built Immediately, or at
least within sixty days. Don't get
discouraged because the president of
the road does not take the shovel in his
own hand and go to work on Il sta
in all probability this fall, certainly
hearted Bro. Miller has always hit
the spike Oh the head when he talked
railroad, except when lie opposed us,
and now that we have both had 4
vision Of the Burlington land the as
surance Of the officers of the road the
matter is settled. Strange us it may
seem, we place more confidence in the
statement Of the officers of the road. in
the feasibility of the ronte and to our
geographical position, than in our own
foresight.
THE DELEGAThS
The selection of Senator "A. NJ. Cros-
by us d. |egate to the Chicago conven-
tion is il triumph for Southwestern
Minnesota, and the Republicans OF this
district, us well as Mr.. Crosby, are to
lie congratulated, for lie will represent
their almost unanimous choice by
voting for Jas. G. Blaine. Tie election,
of Rogers, an Edmunds man. was a
grand mistake. Either Ward or James
would have suited this section better

Hon. 4. NJ. Crosby, Of Mobiles county,
and l.. L. isogels, of IeSueur, We're
elected delegates to Chicago by the
Second district convention. They are
both good men, and it they will only
carry out the wishes of the people
whom tLey are to represent, and vote
for Blaine and Lincoln, no fault will
be found with them. Sen.

Il CROAKER
\ correspondent to the Worthington
Record says: The farmers here are
not able to stand the loss of seed that
is sure to follow, and in consequence
axe not sowing wheat"
The party who busted himself in
pelning the above item is not IL friend
to the people, the country, the town, or
to truth. After reading the article we
met Il number Of farmers and we give
below the several yields of wheat, as
given by them, in bushels, %, 2G, II, 10.
1G!, % and 70. These are not picked
crops, but taken in rotation from
farmers rs we were walking down the
street. One farmer i'll our county rails
ed 2,GSS bushels of wheat OH ST acres,
or 81 bushels per acre. We purpose. III
future issue, TO give the names of
farmers. their postotlice address and
tile amount raised per acre. In the
meantime we would recommend the
croaking correspond, ut of the Record
to sign his or her name to their pro-
ductlOnS so that the people may know
to whom they are indebted for so much
free advertising, and that they may ex-
tend the right hand of FELLOWSHIP? and
ask them to go where their nature will
be more III sympathy with wheat grow
ing.-Fulda Republican.
Bro. Penn is new man here and is
perhaps being imposed upon by some
croaker who can't raise wheat because
he is too lazy or too goody- goody.
The man who is the unquestioned
choice of a vast majority of the Rapub-
licans of the Republican States ought
to have the nOminatiOn-ard he will
receive it! Hurrah for Blai le!-St
Paul Dispatch.
lie was the choice when Hayes was
nominated but he did not receive it..
The politicians beat him out of it. We
hope this time that the representatives
of the people will carry out their wishes
in the convention.
Blaine was our first choice at the
Cincinnati convention which nomi-
mated Hayes; he was our first choice at
the Chicago convention which nomi-
mated Garfield, and he is our first choice
now because he is the broadcast, the
bravest and the frankest statesman in
the Republican party.
