remaining counties are known to favor his
renomination. Two-thirds of the delegates
to the republican state convention which
meets on the 7th of July prox. will be chosen

Crop reports to the Rochester American
Rural Home, of this city, from every section
of the United States, indicate that the good
stands of spring wheat and oats are much
affected by drouth. twenty-five per cent of
the corn crop was put in late. The yield
and varieties of winter wheat are good. No
increase of insect ravages is Ioted. The
prospects point to an early movement of the
new wheat crop, and to a large home de-
mand. The yield of spring wheat, oats and
grass will be much reduced without the
sual spring rains.

The returns from the election indicate
majority for the democratic governor,
and probably secretary of state. At the
democratic central committees headquar-
tiers, the state is claimed by q small MAORI
ty. Pe1.ahorst, democratic candidate for
governor, runs ahead of his ticket, probably
l,5OO. He owes his election to the Knights
of Labor and anti coolie society, which were
active in his support. The republicans elect
