FIRST GUN OF THE CAMPAIGN
Opening of the Harvest Season in the
South.
An Interesting Contest of Twine-BinderS al
Henderson, Ky.
An Easy Victory for the World-RenOwned
Mccormick Machine, Which Is Sold on
the Field to the Man on Whose
Farm the Contest Is Held.

HENDERSON, KY, June 9.-The first great
contest of Twine-b binders in the South occurred
here to-day, on the farm of S. D. Mccormick,
three miles east of the city. The contest has
been the topic of conversation in the city and
country for some weeks, and was to have taken
place on Friday last but owing to severe rains
and storms was postponed until to-day
From the very start the Mccormick took the
lead. Her work was perfection itself, and nobly
did she maintain her previous record, winning
the applause of the sturdy yeomanry of this
hoSpitable land of blue grass. There were ex-
perts present from Ohio Illinois, Indiana and
Kentucky, and the contest was conducted with a
degree of earnestness and with something of
that spirit of the jockey, which, of late years,
has taken possession of machine men. Nothing
is more detestable to the honest farmer than this
same jockey spirit, and he does not require a
microscope to discover the tricks of unscrupu-
lous machine men. However, it was such an
easy triumph for the Mccormick that the way
faring man, though little off in his upper story,
could not have failed to discover which machine
did the best and most perfect work The Buck
eye Low-down, with all its boosted improve
ments this year, did not have the courage to
enter the field The Walter A. Wood, the Elk
celsior and the Osborne also displayed the white
feather.
The showing for the Deering was not at all
creditable, while the Champion made a great
mistake in not following the example of the
Low-down Buckeye in holding out of the con-
test altogether, for in the soft ground, owing to
the reduced size of its main drivewheel it sank
so low as to cause excessive draft, and 1T was
with difficulty that the team could pull it
through.
Thus is scored the first victory of the season
for the world-renowned Mccormick. Whether
on Southern plantation, or Northern prairie, on
the rock bound coast of the Pacific, or the slop-
ing hills of New England yea, even on foreign
shores, victory upon victory continues to crown
the Mccormick king over all; and, although its
FLYER to gather the golden sheayes of his reward,
he has left behind the impress of his inventive
genius, and legacy to the agriculturists of this
world which enable them, as one man, to rise up
and bless his memory.

B1aine's Strength in Maine.

Senator w. P. Frye.
"Of course, Blaineis strong in Maine and
Logan is too. He has made speeches in the
State and is very popular. Now, as to Massa
chusetts have no fear. Blaine will carry the
State by 10000 majority The independents
growl, but they always make trouble as much
as they can, unless they have their way. Be-
side, these Massachusetts independents are
nearly all Democrats. New York is the battle
ground Yes, it is a Democratic State. The
city makes it Democratic But the enthusiasm
that Blaine will arouse will carry him through
He will carry Ohio in October by rousing
majority, and that together with the enthu-
siasm his canvass will excite, will save New
York. He will carry the whole of New Eng
land. have no fear as to the result in any of
the New England States. Yes, sir, Blaine is as
strong in New York as any man the party cou Id
have nominated, and he is stronger than others
outside of New York. The convention had to
nominate Blaine 1t could not escape from it
You see, eight years ago Blaine was beaten by
the unit rule, and four years ago we had to
make our fight against the unit rule 1t was
the bitterest fight was ever in, but, when we
got district representation, we opened the way
to Blaine's nomination. He is the choice of the
Republicans of the Republican States.

stantiated He has borne himself bravely
through every ordeal, and in each has proved
himself a man of courage, armored with the
audacity of genius" We're he the Democratic
standard bearer the Democrats would adore this
brilliant man, and it remains for Republicans
who are wild with envy and jealousy to make
deadly attacks on the character and purposes of
James Gillespie Blaine
Perhaps his Celtic middle name may account
for good deal of their virulent blackguardism
The Democratic organs to do them justice, have
so far confined themselves to repeating the stale
ISLANDERS of that portion of the Republican press
represented by the pro-British New York Times
and the infamous political male strumpet called
Puck
If James Gillespie Blaine should be elected
President of the United States, we don't believe
he will make war issue to please any faction
either on or off the Atlantic seaboard. But we
do believe he will maintain American honor and
dignity, even at the cost of some bloodShed God
knows such a policy would be admirable, after
all the kicks and cuffs we have endured! Asso-
ciated with Blaine is John A. Logan, of Illinois,
the son of an 'Irish rebel of 1898. He is not
Quaker either; but he would not make war
merely for the sake of fighting He was the most
distinguished of all the volunteer generals of the
Union army and not the suspicion of stain
rests upon his shield Strong, bitter, almost I'M
charitable to his opponents as he has been, John
A. Logan is the very type of an Irish American
soldier, and will ever be remembered as 1.-The
gallant man who led the van of the Union vol
unteers"
The Citizen repeats that the policy of both the
distinguished gentlemen the Republican
national ticket tends toward further centralizing
the federal control of the States. This is really
the difference between the two parties-not
tariff or free trade 1t will take all the wisdom
which the Democratic party muster to beat
the stalwart ticket-stalwart in every sense
which the Republicans have placed in the field.
The country pauses Sanxiousy until the Demo
cratic party has anlEunced its platform and de-
clared its ticket. Il heed is paid to the Ken
lucky rhapsodist, disaster will follow the nomina
tons. No greater evil could befall the country
than to play into the hands of the Golden Club.
Will the Democrats allow that to occurl
Meanwhile, if the "wise" Democratic and ''con-
sentative" Republican papers already alluded to
desire to have Blaine elected, let them keep on
abusing his foreign policy.

A STUDY OF A PORTRAIT.
Dir. Curtis's Forebodings and the Incident on
Which They Are Based.

Mr. Curtis's Forebodings and the Incident on
Which They Are Based.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr.. George w. Curtis says that the portrait
Of Lincoln hung in the convention hall and
seemed to watch the proceedings of the con-
vention with an air of earnest so1icitude and ap-
prehension. and it had disappeared from its place
before the nomination was made"
Does Mr. Curtis mean that the portrait of Lin
coin removed ITSELF Does he wish his readers to
understand that the canvas took on new ex-
preston different from that whicd the artist
gave it2 Or. rather does not Mr. Curtis, most
unfortunately for his argument in this sentence,
betray the unfit state of his own mind for pass
Ing fair and honest judgment upon the matter
In handl
Can publicist who is so prejudiced against a
candidate that the mere thinking of that candi-
aate causes him to see fanciful things in a plain
portrait, and to attribute to superhuman in
nuences its removal from the wall where it was
hung be adjudged sufficiently calm or correct to
render any opinion at all regarding that candl-
date that should have weight as an unimpassion-
cd or judicial decision2 And when Mr.. Curtis ac-
tually, after his grave foreboding, reposes upon
this single incident as a support for them what
shall be thought of his probable weight and in
fuencel
The truth in regard to Mr.. Curtis and to sew
eral OF the New York papers which are reported
as antagonistic to Blaine is that they were com
mitted against him for the nomination on be-
half of their own favorites and have not yet
quite got over the overthrow of their prefer
ences. There is hardly point mentioned by
Mr.. Curtis upon which Republicans or Demo
Gratis have any fear that Blaine will do injury to
the country If elected. Most assuredly if such a
feeling is to be instilled into their minds it will
take more than Mr. Curtiss hob-goblin fancies
about the Lincoln picture to work the awful
consummation

Why schurz Is Opposed to Logan.

Philadelphia Press.
In Washington they offer queer explanation
of Carl Schurz's opposition to John A. Logan.
1t seems that both Schurz and Logan were mem
bers of select stag party at the house of a
senator, one evening" and that, during the in
formal entertainment provided, somebody,
knowing Schurz's accomplishments as a pianist,
asked him to favor the company with some
music. Schurz who is never back
ward in contributing to the en-
joyment of others, complied, and, seating
himself at the piano. wandered off into the in
tricate movements of Beethoven's Fifth Sym
phony. He had lost himself in the weird. deli
cious harmonies of the work, and was reveling in
sympathetic communion with the spirit of the
great master, when, an interlude occurring,
Logan broke in: "Say, Schurz suppose you quit
practicing and play something. How does
'Grandfather's Clock strike your From that
day to this Schurz has followed Logan with all
the vengeful tenacity of man whose heart feels
the weight of a great wrong.

Tilden's LegaUees.


DpeCIaI
Those who claim to know say that T1lden's
legatees are Randall and Payne. Hoadly has
been talked of, but Ohio's choice is believed to
be for more favored son. Randall is handi,
capped because of the extremity of his tariff
views and the unfortunate division in his party
Payne is out of the pale of these turmoils, and
looms up as the best-equipped candidate, with a
great State for his support Though not much
York will center on Cleveland, those who know
the latter's wea kness readily see the formers
strength. With Ohio solid at Payne's back, his
chances are much more hattering than those of
any other candidate.

THE Carlisle-Morrison free trade plank was thrown overheard in the Illi- nOis State Democratic convention. Mor- rIson had free trade plank ready for the platform, and ably supported it in a a speech, but willy Carter Harrison got into the convention on proxy to look after his fences, and when Morrison felt confident of success Harrison popped up and said that protection was rob bery agreed with Morrison, but said it was not expedient; that it would iniure their chances of success in the State. Carter, according to the programme, re- ceived the nomination for Governor. Nothing so far in politics has disclosed the nakedness of the Democratic party as this. Harrison is representative Democrat. He carried his party in con vention with him upon the proposition that it would be better for the Democ- raey to protect robbery until after he, Carter Harrison, was elected. If, Be- cording to the Democratic doctrines as taught, protection is robbery" such Democrats as Harrison must wink at the crime. Reformation is not to begin until after they get into office. They propose to deceive the people-get their votes and then-what? The Lord only knows, they do not.
