THE New York Evening Post
makes this bold and unqualified pre-
diction concerning David b.. Hill f:
"Before the New Year is a month
old the boom for David b. Hill as
the Democratic Presidential candi-
date in 1892 will begin to move.
The Purroy auxiliary to Tammany
Hall will be the direct promoter of
this agitation" During the late
campaign Mr.. Purroy withdrew
from the county Democracy on the
ground of his dislike of Mayor
Hewitt. But while he does not like
Mr.. Hewitt, he is a strong admirer
of Gov. Hill, and it is said that he
and his followers did much telling
work for the Governor in the cam
paign. Three hundred and forty
two Purroy clubs were formed for
the purpose Of fighting Hewitt and
supporting Hill. This power, it is
understood, is to be used to "boom''
Hill for the Presidency in 1892. The
Post has this to say in conclusion
at was learned on excellent author
ity this morning that within two
months time these Purroy clubs will
be organized as David b. Hill clubs
and their motto will be, David B
Hill for the Presidency in 1922

Stewart County and Railroads.

The following is an extract from
the GAINESVILLE of the Dover Courier
"Your county truly needs railroad
and the railroads nearest your county
need you. Istill believe your nearest
way out is to the l.. & N. railroad al
Cumberland City. / believe, two, il
your people would organize and APP
point committee of your business
men to visit and confer with the
officers of thatroad and show them the
great advantage that branch tc
Dover would be to them, you could
get that company to build you q
branch. The mineral wealth Of
Stewart county can not well be over
estimated. The business of Beai
Spring Furnace would give a railroad
more freight than an agriculal region
of one hundred miles in length. Let
all these things be shown, and let the
Railroad Company know that they
can have the right of way and you
can have railroad to Dover before
this time next year, as / wisely be-
lieve.'

Republican Meeting

There was large attendance at a
meeting at Dorsey Hall on Friday
night last to listen to speeches by the
Rev. }. S. Willis, who presided, and
Charles II. Treat, Of Georgetown.
Music was furnished by the colOred
band. 1t is generally commented
upon, both by Democrats rs well as
Republicans, ,that it was the most sue
cessful political meeting held here for
years. Mr.. Willis spoke in his hap
piest vein, and the way he analysed
free trade under its political aliases of
"tarifffor revenue, tariff for revenue
only" and ''revenue reform,n met
with hearty applause.
Mr.. Treats address was very closely
listened to as he took up the issues OF
the day and clearly and candidly dis
cussed them. His practical illustra-
tions of what the protective tariff had
done for Delaware, and that the inter-
ests lay in the election of Harrison
and Morton, were keenly relished. His
plea for the shipbuilding interests.
with the practical view OF business
man, struck a strong chord of sympa-
thy with the mechanics. He praised
Charles B. Lore for voting for the sub
sidy, when in Congress, to establish
an American line of steamers to South
America, when so many of his fellow
Democrats were afraid TO join for fear
of the old cries of subsidy. He showed
plainly how we subsidized railroads
to carry mails in our postal cars, aud
asked why the American keel was not
as worthy of protection as the Ameri-
can rails that carried the steam car.
HIS allusion to the unpaid debt to
the Boys in Blue was rapturously ap-
plauded Said he; 1.-The interest ac-
count has been reduced from $3.50 0OO-
900 to S42,OOO,OOO. This saving of in
terest charges by the wise financial

THIS week will see the last of the
tomato season of 1888, and it has been
generally satisfactory to the growers.
Tomato grOwing-like all other de-
partments of farming-requires thor
Ough attention and high manuring
On the writer's farm, one mile east of
Milford four aud One-q uarter acres of
very light land was set in tomatoes
after having been manured broadcast
at the rate Of fifteen two-hOrse wagon
loads to the acre-at an average cost of
S1O0 per load-and on which was
placed a light dressing of phOsphat e
(abOut $50 pounds to the acre.. Par t
of the plants were set early end many
tomatoes sold from them to the stores
before the eanneries commenced to
pack, and another part of the plants
were set unusually late because of the
drought. From this patch was sold
about thres ton at an average price of
$40 per ton and the eanpery of D. Refs
received twenty-nipe tons more; of
which Mr.. Refs has repeatedly said
that they were the finest tomatoes de-
livered to his factory this year The
late planted part was not picked over
but three times, and at present writing
probably fifteen tons Of green tOma-
toes lie rOtting on the ground. This
result was from land that two years
ago vas so poor that it WAS practically
worthless for farming purposes. This
same farm has produced sweet potato
crop this season of four hundred BUSH
els of primes, and nearly half as many
more seco nds-to say nothing of the
