fit of Elder l.. Clark. Everybody in

Farmers are not bringing in thei
produce very rapidly but are still
awaiting high rates. Taking the state
mept from papers published in variou
parts of the world, the prospect TO
higher prices is not very promising.

"A letter from Dakota subscriber
says: "There are lots of hard-up
farmers here this fall, as wheat is
bringing only AZ cents per bushel. I"
Farmers in Michigan think 20 cents
little enough for their wheat. but
what would they say to an offer Of Al
cents?

We do not believe that there is a man

The New York Tribune says: at
is not tine republican party that Is en-
gagged in the attempt to keep the coun-
try in q turmoil bv disputing the elec-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is only
little group Of inscriptions politicians

have no sympathy with these adven.
lures"
An exchange says that a Canada !
girl jumped II feet in her sleep. Hump.
hats nothing. A Minnesota boy
stuffed n hornet's nest into his big
sisters hustle, and she jumped ~ feet |
at Jump for 90 consecutive jumps,
md she wasn't asleep either. Your !
Canada girls are we'll enough in their
way, but when Minnesota girl comes

j. w. Avery. Republican candi.
late for judge OF probate, made re-
run, coming out with plu-
rality of 725 over his fusion opponent,
while the fusion electoral ticket was
J55 ahead of the Republican electoral
ticket. The causes for this we're nu-
merous. In the first place Mr.. Avery
has performed the duties Of the ofiice
In such manner during the past four
years a. TO make for himself many
warm friends and supper ters in the
opposing party. In the second place
he secured the personal support of his
friends throughout the county, anc |
had scores of them at work for him at
the pools. At last. but by no means
least, was the weakness OF his opponent
Mr.. Saph, with the fusionists. Mr.
Saph was "A supporter of Mr.. Atkinson,
aud refused to bow down to the idol
Of Fusion except In his own indepen-
dent way, the result being that hum
ireds of Mr.. CarletoE's supporters re-
fused to vote for him. The report that |
Mr.. Avery arranged to trade off Re
publican votes for Mr.. Carleton to ex-
for fusion votes for himself !
we believe to be without foundation.
Indeed we do not think he could have |
done it to any considerable extent If
le had tried. That he did not secure
the votes of fusionists in this way Is
proved by the fact that he ran largely |
ahead of his ticket in Riley, Kenockee |
and other townships where MIR. Garlic |
ton had 10 more. or even less votes
han the fusion electoral ticket. For
Iunate circumstances. combined with
systematic work, elected Mr. Avery |
by n plurality over his fusion opponent
