"Blaine and Victory"

WASHINGTON, June l4.-The serious
manner in which the democrats are casting
about for candidates here indicates thai
they appreciate the desperate chance they
have of success in the coming presidential
election. The ''hurrah" talk that followed
the first news of probable independent
bolt in New York and Massachusetts has
quieted down since it was seen that the
people attempting to get up the independent
move did not amount to anything; that they
were weak in numbers and of small infu
ence, and that the masses, rank and file ol
the republican party, were enthusiastic in
support of the ticket. A week ago the
democrats in Washington were boasting ol
their ability to carry not only New York
but Massachusetts and other New England
states; now they are looking over the list
of would-be candidates to find man who
can keep in column the heretofore certain
democratic states, and at the same time
have fighting chance in New York. 1t is
the prevailing opinion among the democratic
members of congress that the candidate
must come from New York, and while that
state is not at all unprolifc in candidates,
but two-Cleveland and Flower-are
thought to have any chance of securing the
nomination. While there has been very
little serious talk of Flower up to the pres.
ent the belief is gaining ground that when
the New York state convention meets
Flower will be found to have sufficient ir
Huence in the convention to defeat Gov.
ernor Cleveland, and perhaps get enough
votes in the convention to nominate him
but Cleveland's friends believe that Flower
is surrounded by a gang who are willing
and ready to shout for him as long as it is
to their interest to do so, but will desert
him the moment they see that he has ne
real strength outside of what they have
given him.
The news from California and Texas that
the democratic conventions of these state,
had, after Tilden's letter of declination
adopted resolutions in favor of Thurman
gave the latter some promise. In discussion
of presidential candidates, every democrat
had good word to say for Thurman, but
the general opinion was that it would not de
to make the fight in Ohio. Members gen
orally expressed belief that the nomin \
tion of an Ohio man would be to challenge
the republican claim in that state, and il
Ohio should go republican in October il
would put damper on the democrats il

Good Crops in Texas.

GALVESTON, June l6.-The News this
morning publishes exhaustive crop reports
from over seventy-five agricultural counties
of the state. From the nature of the re-
ports it is impossible to compile figures
showing the yield of wheat, but careful
review of the statements of 200 correspond.
ents shows that this years wheat and corn
crop in Texas bids fair to surpass the yield
of 1882, the heaviest in the history of the
state. Farmers are now in the midst oi
wheat harvest. The exceeding warm
weather of the past fifteen days has been
very beneficial to crops.

please the palate, requires no small amount
of knowledge and no little skill, and when
we remember that the very agreeable liquid
fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs, is as beneficial
to the system, as it is acceptable to the
stomach. we readily understand why it is
the universal favorite as cure for Habitual
Constipation and other ills arising from a

WASHINGTON, June l6.-Secretary Teller
has not yet decided to give out the report
of the government experts who examined

Tie Washington correspondent Of the Bis

garding Hon. John B. Raymond;
Raymond isl keen one and has more In
f1uence upon legislation than member usually
has after no has been here dozen years. His
meth6tls are honest aud upright. He tries to
do the'square thing by all his constituents.
No man in this city has so good an opportuni-
ty to know this as have. We meet every day
and frequently have business to transact In the
same department, 50 that we come to know
each othaI exceedingly well. I know his ways
of getting difficult things accomplished, and
they are admirable. He makes no enemies
and always increases his number of friends.
That is good kind Of man to keep here as
long as you can get his services. Tie trouble
with the new communities of the west is their
constant and crazy desire for change. They
keep on sending new men here, none Of whom
amount to hill of beans and they can accom-
plish nothing. Fortunately, in Raymond we
have good, square, successful man. and We
should keep him where he -, There is no
reason why va should not keep him in con-
gress except that few aspiring men are after
his place. That is all nonsense The crowd
is so big that the office won't so around any
way. 1 hope that there may be no such folly
exercised by you this year, or in the near fu-

That ever the residents of the middle States
should be compelled to seek their sugar in
North Dakota and Minnesota, seems Incredible,
but tho present agitation of the subject Of suga,
beets seems to point that way.
According to the Prairie Farmers lately
published map of the beet sugar district, the
line, north Of which only are the conditions
favorable for this culture, crosses Minnesota
about the 44th parallel of latitude and taking a
northeasterly course passes into Canada, strik.
ing western Manitoba at about the 25th degree
OF longitude, west Of Washington, and includ,

GOV. oRDwAY CLEARED.
The Indictment Found Against Hin
at Yank ton Quashed,

YANKToN, Dak., June 1S.-The much bruted
case of Gov Ordway for alleged bribery in the
organization Of Faulk county, indicted by the
United States grand jury, came up for trial to-
day before Judge Edgerton. Ordway's friends
have held from the beginning that the COVER
nor was not guilty, as charged; that if guilty,
the United Stats court has no jurisdiction, and
that the Indictment was obtained by Campbell
merely out of spite, and for political effect-all
or which, of course, Campbell denies. Ex-
Gov. Davis, eX-Chief Justice Shannon, of Yank-
ton and Col Parker, Of Deadwood, were re-
tanned as counsel for the governor. When the
court opened to-day, ex-Gov. Davis made a
motion to quasll the Indictment on the ground
that territorial governors, judges and legisa-
tors were not indictable under the section of
the revised statutes under which the indct-
ment was brought, and which provides for
Furnishing United States officers who accept
bribes or gratuities for influencing their action
IN any matter coming before them for consid-
GRAFTON. Ex-Gov. Davis went fully into the
matter and showed the necessities of this pro-
lection of these officials from arrest while hold
ing office. He cited authorities freely, and
showed that this was the first case where a
governor had been indicted. The argument
was an able effort and told upon the spectators.
Campbell attempted to attack the argument of
Davis, but was clearly very much Disconnected.
Judge Edgerton took one hour for deliberation
and then granted the motion to quash the in
dctment. Ordway's counsel were fully equip
ped, and had the motion not been granted they
would have then attacked the makeup Of
the grand jury. Failing in this they were pre-
pared to make other motions, and then press
the matter for vigorous trial, for which prepa-
ration had been fully made; but Judge Edger-
ton decides that Campbelps indictment was
without authority of law, and the case d,ops-
