Chicago Herald: Mr. Blaine was noni-
mated on FRIDAY in 1884, which proved un.
lucky. Was that the reason Of the two ad-
Journments on that day!
New York Post: The Republican party
gave the poor man free homestead, says
the Burlington Hdmkeyc. Now it proposes to
give him free whisky.
Montgomery Advertiser: The Democrats
arc ready for the issue. The Republicans
say, have cheaper whisky and less clothes.
The Democrats say, let the tax stay on
whisky, rather than keep 1t up on shoes, blan-
kcts and the thousand necessary articles of
life that arc now heavily taxed.
Cleveland Plaind2dler: The Republican
editors who are digging up log cabin and
hard cider literature about Grandfather
Harrison should remember that Grandson
Harrison lives in stately mansion and
drinks champagne. Grandson Harrison is
an cstirable gentleman, no doubt, but dress
ing him in coonskins and seating him astridc
hard-cider barrel of nearly half century
ago will soon make him ridiculous.

half of Ex-Governor Alger was one of the
most discreditablo features of the Chicago

ton for his services.
Alta California Dcm): The only reason
why silver does not circulate it says, is
because it is not wanted. In California we
practically demonetizc silver by excluding
it frcE use in all ma jor transactions. Every
public bond on which money is borrowed,
from the obligation given by the State
down to the bonds Of q school district, is
gold contract. Of course this excludes sill
yer from use in paying taxes, and so we
have throughout this region, which gener-
ates the silver politics of the country, an
absolute gold basis and gold standard, and
practical monomctallism. And to tickle tho
fancy of Californians who can not pay their
local taxes in silver, the Chicago conven-
ticn fractures truth and decency by &C
cusihg tho Administration of advising that
silver be demonetized. II the campaign to
como is to be judged by this silver keynote,

RAINS IN THE DELTA.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 3l.-A special to
the Picalr,ne from Greenville, Miss, says:
"Since Aug. 10 the entire Delta country
has been visited with daily rains, and re-
ports of incalculable damage to the cotton
crop have come from various sections with
such frequency as to justify fear that the
crop was in imminent danger. In order to
ascertain precisely the extent of the dam
age, your correspondent made an inquiry
among the most reliable planters for the
facts. To summarize. it may be said that
the crop as a whole has been damaged so
far at least IS per cent and the rain still
continues.
reports from Australia, Concordia,
Terrene, Rosedale, Bolivar, Mound Land
ing, Leota, Skipwith, Mayerville, Ben Lo-
mond. Shiloh and Chotard, on the Mssis-
sippi river, are about the same. The Deer
Creek country, along the Louisiana and
Texas railroad, appears to have suffered
more than other sections. This can be at
lands on Deer creek are very
low. Capt. Perrin, who manages one of the
largest plantations in that locality, reports
that during the last few days he and other
planters investigated the state of affairs as
to the condition Of the cotton plant on
twelve of the principal plantations on Deer
Creek, which is considered the garden spot
of the cotton growing region
The cotton crop, so far, is
considered to be half ruined.
In many places where water stands in the
fields the lower bolls are decaying fast,
and if dry weather does not come to the
relief of the planters the loss cannot be esti-
mated.
1.-THE entire season in Lake Washington
country has been one of extremes, pc
RODS of excessive rain being preceded by
excessive drought, and then again came
floods. Rains, accompanied by violent wind
storms, have tangled up cotton to such an
extent that the actual per cent. of damage
is yet difficult to arrive at"
