Inter- cean:-The republican major
ity in Ohio is apparently 1900 and up
ward. How much upward may require
several days to determine.
This indicates that the majority will
be fully 10000 for Blaine and Logan in
November. The National ticket is
many thousand stronger than the State
ticket, and Ohio is far more united and
!mpetuous on National than on State
issues.
The full impetus of the Republican
campaign will now be transferred to
New York. The result in Ohio is great
and glorious. 1T proves that the patr;-
otisln OF the American people can not
be lulled to slumber or beguiled into
again intrusting the destinies of the
Republic to those whose hands are still
red with the blood of their assaults up
on the Nations life.
1t proves that the American people
get behind vilifying cartoons and PIC
turesque ISLANDERS, discriminating keen
ly between accusations and evidence.
Improves that protection to American
industries is the settled doctrine of the
country for at least four years to come.
For two years past the Democratic par
ty in congress has been making a record
as a free-traae party. That is the sole
record it has made. Not until It's Ma
tional convention came together, and
the hitherto uneXpressed views of the
Southern Democrats from Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama. and Louisiana be-
came known, Was there any doubt in
minds of the Democratic leaders that
it's convention would stand by the ac-
ton Of it's congress. The result proved
that it dared not; and the Democratic
run, which ends with their defeat in
Ohio, really began in their convention
in Chicago, when they lacked the our
age to indorse the only record their par
ty had been making for two years.
Still, had they fatty Endorsed free trade
in their convention their defeat would
have been even more certain and
speedy. The fact is the course of the
Democratic party for two years past on
the tariff question has been wrong. 1t
FREEDOMS them to equal defeat whether
they boldly stand by it or feebly repu-
date 1t.
Huron Times.-The dry season that
has prevailed in the Washington Hills
has not been favorable for grazing.
Several reports from there say that
herds With more than one hundredhead
Of cattle have been summered at a loss.
To overcome this thetheory is advanced
that tame grass, such as Kentucky blue
grass and timothy, with pastures fenced
is the only profitable way Of handling
cattle here in Central Dakota where
ranges are more or less limited by grow
ing crops. Old ranchmen say that but
falo and bunch grass are soon trampled
out and the bluejoint which does not
ripen before frost, thus feed is cut off
from six weeks to two months sooner
than if the pastures were covered with
timothy or blue grass. Would it not be
timely for those having stock to exper-
ment, or rather follow the plan success
fully adopted by many of our farmers.
of sowing timothy and blue grass seed
Oh their pasture. Blue grass is found
best for pasturing, and timothy for hay
land.
Judge Clifford has written a reply to
a letter from Fargo, in which he states
what every acquaintance Of his would
know without. special assurance is the
case, that at Washington he will be the
representative Of no section, but of the
whole territory. Those who supported
his nomination did not do SO with the
expectation that he would be the dele
gate simply Of southern Dakota in any
matter which conldpossibly have effect
upon the whole territory; but he was
urged as a south Dakota man because
this section will have matters Of legis-
latioh affecting it exclusively, and to
the care Of these we Wanted Il man of
our own section called.
A late issue Of t:Ae. London Times
s%neeringly remarks that the best use to
be made Of an 1rishman is to send him
to the United States where he invaria-
bly, votes with the Democratic party in
favor OF free trade and British inter
ests. i
