Ex, Judge Garrick Harding, of Wilkes.

Democrats of the district are dissatisfied
with the nomination.
Among the large number of nomina-
tons for Congress made yesterday, was
G. S. Voorhees,, a son Of Senator Voor-
hees of Indiana, who was nominated
as a Congressional delegate from Wash.
ington Territory.
Col. j M. Hough, wealthy and prom
inent citizen of Illinois, wanted to shoot
Carter Harrison, Democratic candidate
for Governor of that State, at Lincoln, on
Tuesday, because he (Harrison) would not
bet he would be elected Governor.
The Democratic deadlock III the EleV-
enth (Pa.) Congressional district contin-
ues. Forty-two ballots were taken yes
terday, and a peaceful solution Of the
difficulty is not expected soon.
The Prohibitionists of Nebraska yester-
day nominated j. G. Miller for Governor
and endorsed II. Fl. Shedd, the Republi-
can candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
Five st. John electors were selected.
John p. Levan, who was selected as

THE PROMISE OF THE HARVEST.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE report
of the Department of Agriculture shows
the condition of the cotton crop to be less
favorable than it was month ago. Win.
ter wheat is above the average in guam
tity and is generally Of good quality.
Spring wheat promises an aggregate yield
Of 1000, 900 bushels. The wheat States
of highest condition are California, Wis
sinsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Oregon. Corn
is in better condition than in any
September since 1880. 1t promises to
produce an average yield of 26 bushels
for the entire breadth, or not less than
1900, 900, 900 bushels. 1t will make the
largest aggregate of quantity ever re-
ported in the history Of the country. The
oats crop averages yield per acre about
the same as corn and makes an aggregate
exceeding 500, 600, 600 bushels.
Barley, rye and buckwheat promise q
medium yield Potatoes will be album
dant, but the indications vary largely &C.
cording to locality. The condition of to.
bacco is higher than in September of any
year since 1877. The London agent OF
the department cables to day. as a result
of statistical Investigations, that the yeaI
will not be one OF superabundance; that
European wheat, though above an aver
age in product, will be less than the aggre-
gate of 1882. European importing coun.
tries need two hundred and sixty million
bushels above production, European
countries exporting can supply eighty
millions, leaving one hundred and eighty
million bushels to be obtained from other
continents. Stocks are not excessive
there is increased consumption of wheat,
and it is the general opinion that the
lowest prices have been reached. Pota
toes and rye are less abundant than last
year.

A Mean Thief,

A little daughter of NJ. D. Black, an
industrious machinist residing at 421
Broad street, went into grocery in the
vicinity of her home this morning to make
some purchases. She had q small plush
pocketbook and in this the clerk placed
S. 90, the balance left after the amount
of the purchases had been taken from a
bill presented in payment. The clerk
also gave her candy. When the child
got ontside she noticed sister and called
to her in order to share the candy. While
doing SO she laid the pocketbook on box
in front of M'Fadden & Shrenk's store,
about which several men were standin g,
and when the children were ready to start
for home they found that some miscreant
had stolen the pocketbook.

DULLNEss OF TRADE IN PITTsBURG.

P1TTsBURG, Sept. 12.-The condition
of general trade in this city has not been
so bad since the panic Of 1873 as it is at
present. Thousands of men are out of
employment, and unless there is an i'm
provement very soon thousands more
will be idle. In the glass trade the only
branches at work are those of the win
dow glass and bottle factories. The per-
scription warehouses and all other
branches are shut down and will remain
so while the present condition of affairs
continues. Among the coal mines affairs
are still worse. For three months eight
thousand men along the river have been
on a strike against reduction which the
operators say is necessary if they want to
get a new dollar for an old one out oftheir
business. In the iron and steel business
everything is depressed. The Edgar
Thompson steel company have notified
their five thousand employees that unless
they grant concession in the matter OF
wages the works will be shut down on
the 1st of November.

CONGRESSMAN FINERTY FOR BLAINE.
An Irishman's Reasons for Supporting the
'Plumed Knight"

An Irishman's Reasons for Supporting the
'Plumed Knight"
CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Congressman
Finerty, of this city, in an article in his
paper, Citizen. this week, says that,
without surrendering q principle that he
has held, without accepting any party
collar" without abandoning the people
who elected him, on the ground Of
American citizenship and American
glory he declares his preference
for Blaine. He declares against Cleve
land because he hes proved himself the
enemy of the working-m man, the ally OF
monopolists, the self constituted judge
of the constitutionality Of measures in
tended to benefit the people, the bare
| faced dodger of the vital question of Pro-
lection to American industries and the
champion of a foreign interest on this
| continent"
Mr.. Finerty says he "will never be
found voting for any dubious American
who has the support of the Tines, the
Telegraph, the Standard and the Meas
of London" He supports Blaine "be-
cause, in declaring openly for Protection
against Europe and free commerce with
American neighbors on and below our
Southern frontier, he advocates that true
American policy, and the only one, by
| which this country can not only remain
great, free and prosperous, but also by
which she can spread her influence On
the two els Atlantic continents and main
tain the letter Of that Monroe doctrine,
which says to Europe, Hands of, and
of which Blaine is the truest and most
gifted living exponent With him at the
head of the Nation there would be no fear
that the Panama canal should degenerate
into European waterway.
Mr.. Finerty further supports Blaine
because of his vigorous foreign policy,a
policy that the tragical end of President
Garfield curbed before it had attained de-
velopment. He also supports Blaine
because England abhorS him, and be-
cause his election, although he is not a
firebrand or a promoter of unnecessary
warfare would be a slap in her face. ;"
Finally, Mr.. Finerty declares against
Grover Cleveland because his nomina-
ton by the Democrats,was direct insult,
and so intended, to the backbone of the
Democratic party north of the Ohio, and
challenge to the manhood and the po-
litical courage of every American of what
ever race, who earns his livelihood by
honest labor.

A swINDLER's OPERATIONS.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 12.-Special officers
Of the Pension Department are collecting
evidence against Thomas Baker, alias
Brown, now awaiting trial for swndling
soldiers widows and children out Of back
pension money. Another case has been
discovered, the victim being woman
living on the South Side, and an addi-
tional charge for the offense will be en-
tered against him in few days. Baker
played bold game He always fieeced
the widows and daughters of soldiers.
His plan was to learn where woman had
secured large back pension and to goto
her residence during the absence OF any
male relative. He would represent
that he was a Government officer, assert
that he had procured the pension through
fraud, place her under arrest and compel
her to accompany him on the next train,
which invariably left in short time. His
apparent destination would be Washing
ton, D. c., but he would stop at some
large city and compel the prisoner to oc-
cupy the same room with him in a hotel.
The next day he would inform the vic
Tim that, upon examining the papers, he
had found that, as the fraud was not eX
tensive, he would release her and give
her sufficient money to return home, but
would keep the balance until he had con
suited the Government authorities. He
was captured at Wilkes Barre lie had
then been traced under six distinct aliases.

THE CASH HADLEY GOT.

New YORK, Sept 12.-Thc examina-
ton of Mr. Henry Ii. Hadley in the sup
Elementary proceedings on a judgment
against him was continued yesterday.
The witness was asked further questions
about the money he had received in 1880
from the National Democratic Commit
tee. In connection with the letter, he
said: 1T was from 81, 500 to 50, 500 If
counsel were fair and just they would
look at the records he had promised to
produce, which would give all such in
formation in detail" Counsel said he
did not want the records. To another
question he said: "John ]. Davenport
had in 1881, paid him 81, 500 for such facts
and information as he possessed in regard
to the Morey letter"
