Better Times Ahead for Gamers.

The outlook for our canning interests is
more cheering than it has been for many
months. Under the two fold operation of
increased demand and the prospect of large
ly diminished pack this year, prices have
slightly advanced, and it is not likely that
they will retrograde Tomatoes, especially,
are in more demand and prices are firm On
this point the Baltimore Trade says:
SIN some articles, where it would have been
least suspected two months ago, there is posi-
bilty of short supply for the year; strange as it
may seem, tomatoes are in this position. They
are not only much stronger, but places that a
short time since were supposed to be dropsical
with them, are sending out buyers to get supply.
Hartford county which was under deluge of
them during the winter has suddenly been
found to be almost empty; one of our largest com
mission merchants here in that line asserts that
the county is about sold out, by the steady but
unsatisfactory business that was done in car
loads lots during the past eight months. 1t has
been year of nnumerable petty sales or rather
sacrifices There is much significance in the
sale this week of 300 900 cases of tomatoes by
Smith 81 Wicks to Thomas Roberts q Co., of
Philadelphia. 1t marks at once the end OF small
sacrifices and the s1pposition of Philadelphias
being still freighted down with them. They
made raise of 5 cents per dozen in that city On
tuesday ana are quoted at So to 80 for good
stock.
1.-The prospect for the pack in this immediate
section is limited. New Jersey will probably
pack near to her average although many au-
thorties deny this; and within the week very
serious blight is reported from her vines Har
ford county has not planted more than one-third
her past average, some reports putting 1t at
one fifth. Delaware will pack about half her last
years upput and this city will pack according
to what she can get With the steady rlse hat
has been going on during the last fortnight,
many of our packers began turning serious
thoughts to tomatoes, but inquiry shows that
the lower counties have neglected the planting
of tomatoes TO almost the same extent as the
upper counties, although the daily markets here
depend almost altogether on them for supply.
The season is also getting very much delayed,
the cool days and cold nights making
no growth. AS consequence domestic toma-
toes have ruled for the past two weeks at Il. 90
per peck in the daily retail markets, and they
should have fallen 10 one-third that price in the
same time. The commission men who handle
the green produce for the farmers of the lower
counties say there will be no tomatoes for the
packers and small supply for city markets, as
they have not been planted Altogether toma-
toes seem to be getting into the position
OF good stock, but the truth seems to be that the
old supply is very nearly used up for the sea

Blaine's ! etter Of Acceptance

Mr.. Baine's letter Of acceptance, which
was sent to the committee appointed to in.
form him officially of his nomination, was
published last week. 1t occupies three COL
ums of closely printed matter, and is y we'll.
expressed dissertation upon public affairs, but
contains an elaborate vindication of Repub.
lican administration of the national govern
ment, rather like the plea of an astute lawyer
for a criminal in the clutches of the law than
the broad views of a statesman and patriot.
Mr., Blaine would make the campaign turn
upon the vexed question oftariff, upon which
majority of Republicans and Democrats
are really in accord, if they could only under
stand each other and were not led aside from
the true issue by the arbitrary definition
of words. They agree that tariff on i'm
ported articles is the easiest way to provide
for the necessary expenses of the general
government, and they are also agreed that a
system that EFFORTS every year from the peo.
pie hundred millions of dollars more than is
required for carrying on the government,
needs revision and reduction. Mr.. Blaine,
however, under the specious plea of protect
ing American labor and industry, wants a
high tariff, and perpetuation ofthe burdens
under which the people are borne down.
He evades the real issue of this campaign.
which is a reform of the abuses which have
fastened upon the administration at Wash
ington like barnacles upon a ship, and which
nothing but thorough overhauling can re-
move. MIR. Blaine denies the need of reform
and would rather discuss abstract questions
OF tariff: &c, than have any comparison insti-
tuted as to the character, record and fitness
for office of himself and Grover Cleveland =
His letter will do nothing to strengthen his
position or win back the independent Repub-
licans who prefer an honest government to
party success.

The Independent Republican COnven-
ton,

JlOn.
A convention of Independent Republicans
who disapprove of the nomination of Blaine
and Logan and believe that the interests OF
good government and of public morals de-
mand their defeat, was held in New York,
on Tuesday. The total number of accredit-
ed delegates present was 457, representing
New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Penn.
sylvania, Connecticut, Colorado California,
Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana Missis-
sippi, Maryland, Michigan, Rhode Island and
Vermont. -...a. .r...a
The conference was composed of men who
have been prominent in the Republican party
since its organization, and their earnestness
of purpose was undoubted The reports
from different States showed that the number
of Republicans opposed to Blaine is increas-
ing daily. A.,
Col. Charles r. Goldman, of Massac husetts,
was chosen President, and the list of Vice
Presidents included Carl Schurz, Gen. Bar
low, and c. j Bornaparte, of Baltimore. Col.
Goldman made an address. He said
"Ihe nomination of the Republican party for
the Presidency is an insult to American man
hood. Mr.. Blaine has not cleared his record
from the charges that he used his public office
for private gain, and we fear that he will con-
tinue In his usual methods-that he will prove
no deadhead in any enterprise he may embark
in. We make no charges against private
character; but Mr.. Blaine Is not fit to be Presi-
dent of the United States. We respect the con-
victions of others, but for ourselves we say that
1t is just as impossible for us to support Mr.
Blaine as it is to lie or steal Whatever Is done
here, every man is free to follow his own course.
No pledges will be asked, and certainly none
will be given. We desire first of all President
that is incorruptibe, and If beside that he Ia able
and Independent, 80 much the better, We have
not far to 60 to find q man who is all this.
There is certainly one Democratic official who
has shown the ability to successfully resist all
pressure that would interfere with the faithful
performance of official duty and he lie now
Governor of New York and the Democratic
candidate for President Of the United States"
The platform contrasts the two tickets
presented to the voters of the country and
recommends all independent voters to sup
port the electors who will vote for Grover
Cleveland.
Mr.. Carl Schurz, in reporting the platform,
said it was not platform of new party,
but an appeal for honest government
