The political parties of the country
have been very active this week pre-
pairing for the Republican and Demo
cratic national conventions. The Maine
Republicans stand firm for Blaine.
Judge Gresham leads in Illinois, and, las
stated elsewhere, Indiana, Michigan,
Ohio and Iowa place forward each their
favorite sons, although if Mr.. Blaine
had not written his letter of decli nation
he would probably have led the van
amid all these conflicting candidates.,
The Iowa and Nebraska Democrats
favor Cleveland and that is probably
true of Vermont, New York and most
other states. The Iowa Democracy de.
nounce prohibition and protection and
inuagurate their State campaign with
fiery language against the two Ps.

ABOUT CLOVER,
AND
TIMOTHY SEEDS !

The Whitney -Noyes Seed Co., OF Bingham
ton, N. Y, says:
PRIME" in the seed trade, is that quality or
grade which represents the average Of either
Glover or Timothy. as it is received in the large
markets from country shippers.
CHOICE" is simply Of little better appear.
ance and not quite so dirty as prime.
Both those grades whether Timothy or Glove
are more or less foul with wEED SEEDS, sand and
other waste, This waste when paid for in seed
bought by the farmer costs him, in Timothy from
1 to cents per pound, and in Clover from 10 ia
Is cents pound.
Every farmer knows that the loss caused by
weeds is great, but he does not know as well a,
he might that nearly all the seed found in the
ordinary channels Of trade is unfit to sow.
The weed seeds almost always found in the
Timothy on sale in the stores, are Yellow Daisy
White Daisy, Plantation, Pepper Grass, Thistle,
Pig Weed, Rag Weed. and Wild Carrot; and in
Clover, Lance Leaf or Buckhon Plantain, Wide
Leaf Plantain, Smart Weed, Wax Weed. Sorrel.
ETC., etc.
To EXAMINE Timothy or Clover so as to know
anything about it, requires more than to take up
little on wet finger, or even to take sonnet n
the hand and "guess at 1t " Put at least half a
teacup full upon a large sheet of clean white pa.
per, spread out thin, and look carefully for sand,
waste or weed seeds.
We suggest that farmers and dealers. mtg ,t
easily become better judges Of the purity Of seed
and for their own protection should give ,'ne mat
ter careful attention.
We remove weed seeds and vast. by new pro
cesses and machinery OF which We have the sol,
aud exclusive use, Our grade, are not simply
selections from occasional lets set aside for q
fancy price, but are speci'l productions, upor
which We have based an extensive business en-
terprise. 1t is our PURPOSE to supply pure seed,
at reasonable price and and upon this basis We
already have the Patronage OF many ofthe most
experienced and careful buyers in the world.

Citizens Unable to Agree on the Question of
Money for the Colored Exposition.
opscias to the Indianapolis journal
WAsHINGToN. May 2.-The people of Atlanta,
Ca, have been In sorry predicamsnt for some
time. Early in this session the negroes Of the
South petitioned Congress for an appropriation
Of s400. 900 to assist them in holding national
exposition at the metropolis Of Georgia Not
only the petitions signed by . vast army of COL
ored people from all parts of the country poured
into Congress. but memorials from white people
in every direction. They asked that tho colored
population of the United States be encouraged
in demonstrating what the black folks had at
tanned in a quarter Of . century Of
freedom. They said that appropriations
had been literally given the whites for all
kind of centennial and other expositions, and
that this was the first time the black people,
who were too poor to give al exhibition at their
own expense. had ever asked the government to
great portion of the people of Atlanta strong
~ advocated the appropriation and exposition
from the first They especially wanted the sd-
vertisement the exposition would give them,
and the expenditure OF so much money a. would
naturally come to them. After the question
had been aeitated for some time. however, il
was suggested by party leaders that IL might be
uowise from partisan stand point. Ito permit
the colorsd people 20 have an exhibition at At
lanta, because IL would bring together hundreds
Of thousands OF blacks. who we're politically, IN
organized. and it would afford an opportunity
for an organization, which might overthrow the
Democratic party in the South; and it Was
further suggested that in the very face
Of presidential campaign the Republicans
would not let such as:fsvorable opportunity
pass without tsking advantage Of it. A number
of business men in Atlanta suggested. also, that
the bling OF multitude Of negroes might
result in riot and unlimited p,llaee. 1t took
