Kansas City Times:-The Globe
Democrat has discovered that President
Cleveland is weak in the West. It is
wise to discover this circumstance early
In the Summer, az it may slip the men,
DRY Of the people early in November.
And we have faint hope that Mr..
Cleveland may pull through-even in
tho West.
For the benefit of those persons who
evolved a case of SANDER from our "fish
story" we deem it necessary to explain
that the article from the Reno Gazette,
published yesterday, in reference to the
killing of q rnttlesnake by Billy Rogers
was joke, and t0as not intended to con-
vey the idea that Billy was suffering
with delirium tremens.
A dispatch last evening, after we went
to press, announces that Levi P. Nor
ton, of New York, was nominated for
Vice-President by unanimous vote of
the Chicago Convention, and the ticket
Is complete with Harrison and Morton.
If Morton can come as near carrying
New York rs Harrison can Indiana,
Cleveland will be elected, sure.
The Silver State says: Ranchers on
Big Meadows are now busily engaged
harvesting their crop. The crop will
not be as heavy as usual on some of the
ranches, while on others it will be fully
mp to the average. Joseph Marzen has
300 acres of alfalfa, which he is now
moving and stacking, the greater part
of which yields an average crop.
J. S. Gardner did a first class Job

the shape of q large new flag received

New York star:-An interesting article
in the current issue of the Iron Age
shows that manufacturers of fence wire
are taxed 20 per cent. on their raw ma
terial for the benefit of few rod mills
which empty in the aggregate about
one hundred men. This is the industry
that recently made the astonishing re-
quest that its protection should be still
further increased.

Persons who allow their cows to run
at large on the streets at night are again
cautioned that it will be safer--- for
the cows----if they are kept in some
Enclosure. There are some persons who
have been annoyed to such an extent
by these midnight merauders that pa
tience may cease to be virtue. We
should not be surprised to hear OF q
crippled cow or two il our warning is
not needed.
Galveston News:--The nomination OF
Thurman promises to ombarrass the Re-
publicans in singular manner. They
want an Ohio man to save Ohio. They
can not very well take an Ohio man and
an Indiana man both. Hence they
must in measure abandon Indiana II

therefore, tie attack upon the Republi-
can reserve in Ohio may prove better
Democratic strategy than direct care
for Indiana.
