The Two Conventions.

The contrast between the national con-
ventons Of the two great parties, is decided
enough to attract the serious attention of
thoughtful observers. The democratic con-
vention, although it was charged with an.
extraordinary amount of enthusiasm, trans
acted its business in an orderly way, and its
members went home in good humor with
themselves and everybodyelse. All the diff
ferences between the leaders were compro-
missed without any trouble, and the result
of the deliberations of the body was win
ming ticket and complete party harmony.
The republican convention, however, is
quite different affair. 1t has taken no ac-
ton that even squints in the direction Of
delberation. When the members are not
cabling and brawling, they are intriguing.
The delegates bought in the south by Sher-
man and Alger are anxious to be bought
again. There is not a sign of sincerity in
the convention. For five days the air of
Chicago has been reeking with rrlmors of
bargains, sales and combinations. Every
thing is in the nature Of sham and fraud.
When Foraker, with fine frenzy, abuses
all the candidates except Sherman, it is
clear that he is striving to injure the man
he is pledged to support, endeavoring with
plentiful lack OF diplomacy to play the
Garfield game. When Chauncey Depew
consents to become candidate, everybody
understands that it is a move to head off
other candidates, and to hold the convention
to Blaine.
Fraud and sham. The Sherman delegates
are not for Sherman, the Alger delegates
are not for Alger. But in spite of the in
sincerity, the convention is not without its
picturesque aspects. There is Ingerson
rising in the interests of Blaine to stab
Gresham with compliments; likewise, the
committee room being ajar, there is Wise
dragging Billy Malone around by the beard,
and there are the policemen politely club
| bling the heads of inofensiye colored dele
| gates.
1t has been a very merry convention, in
deed, and all its shams and intrigues have
been performed to the tune of Marching
trough Georgia."

The Improvement in the condition of the

ports of injury from insects are quite nu-
merous, that nearly, if not fully offset
the Improvement
In Illinois the wheat crop is improved
in condition in Cass County, but insects
have done serious damage in Christian,
Clark Crawford, Wabash and Wayne
counties. The condition of meadows and
pastures in this State, according to our
report this week, is only fair, and cut
worms and army-worms are plentiful in
some localities. Fruit prospects are very
fair, but the season is somewhat back
ward.
Insects are doing little damage in Indi-
ana, the only report of injury being from
Vanderburgh County. Fruit prospects
are fair.
In Wisconsin the winter wheat crop is
in good condition, although slightly late.
This is also true of pastures and meadows.
Fruit prospects are good.
No Improvement is noticeable in the
condition of the winter wheat in Michi-
gan; meadows and pastures are late but
improved in condition; fruit prospects
good and especially for apples; in St
Joseph County, however, they are poor

Wayne County the prospect is poor for
peaches.
Crops are in fair condition in Missouri,
except where insects are working as in
Barry, Hickory New Madrid, Pettis, War

Little change can be noted in the con-
dition Of the crops in Ohio, with the ex-
ception of fruit, which is improved. The

pastures are in good condition. Fruit
prospects are fair, little injury from in
sects being reported Meadows and past
ures are very backward in Minnesota,
the season being exceptionally cold and
wet Crops are late but in good condition
