When they drove upon the bridge over the
Cheyenne river they saw ducks upon the

gun and fired, getting in two shots and kill

as large as anticipated, nor of as good

marketed to prove the truth of this, but the
fact is evident to all that tsre yield is not
going to be as large as tie farmers have
anticipated. There seems TO be plenty of

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Aug. 17.-The

toned, and the reception committee heavily

The question of prohibition will figure in
greater prominence than any other before
the convention. Upon this one point de-
nends the matter of fusion with the green

election Of the fusion ticket, at least means
a fair fight for
SUPREMACY THIS FALL.
There is 4 plank i'll the Greenback plat
form. adopted at Des Moines by the late
convention, which declares: I'VE
are i'll favor Of the use of
all practical means for the suppress
sion OF intemperance." The candidacy
for lieutenant governor of eX-COngreSsnan
Gillette is dstastefui TO Democrats because
of Gillette's strong Temperance attitude in
the past. His candidacy and the portion
Of the platform quoted may prevent that
fusion which is necessary TO success i'll the
coming elections.
Mr.. Gillette appreciates the situation and
would be glad to become lieutenant gov
enOr with the aid OF straight Democratic
votes. and his strikers are loudly
quoting his reply to Chairman
Kline: Il have no sympathy with the
hypocritical policy adopted by the Republi-
can party for converting this state into
s,ilhouse for our neighbors, while inter
dieting the sale of our own products at
home. Some Democratic leaders believe
failure and defeat a certainty if their candi-
dates are allowed to go to the people With
out having taken

on the prohibition question, and the mcer-
tain plank in the Greenback platform may
have to give way to one declaring for IL
cense, either high or low. Unless
fusion is decided upon the nomination
of Senator Mewell OF Clinton TO
head the ticket is foregOne conclusion.
His connection with a national bank makes
him obnoxious TO GreenbackerS, but other
wise he would prove a strong candidate,
going before voters as gallant soldier, an
able and popular senator and an avOwed

WooNsoCKET, Oak, Aug. 17.-Saturday
several loads of new wheat were brought to
this market, but buyers are not anxious to
take it, complaining that it is damp and
soft, giving as reason that the grain COM
ing in now is being brought by parties
cramped for ready money, who have net
allowed their crops to cure properly, and it
is consequently of an inferior grade. Another
noticeable feature is that this early-threshed
grain, where both straw and kernel are vet
damp, is not giving the estimated average
yield. Consequently, buyers and business
men generally are discouraging this early
threshing and marketing.
