The Self Binder Paid Our Debt.

The >cif-bmdcr was first successfully attach
cd to the reaper in 1876; from 1861 to 1876 in
elusive, our average crop of wheat. VARYING
more with the season than with the planted
area. had been 25S, 900 900 bushels. In 1877,
when the sei-binder first began to be used. the
crop mounted to nearly 364 900 900 bushels
Again, in lS.S, ii mounted up and from that
date to 1857 inclusive, in which period the use
of the >ct-bnder had become general. the av-
crage crop. varying more with the season than
with the planted area. was 100000 900 bushels.
Could the crops of the last ten years have been
saved without the self-bintler? When we con-
slider that the total number of self-bindng
reapers now made and sold is more than l00-
600 "A wear. requiring over 10000 tons of Irvine
to bind a single wheat crop. do we not find in
the tving of that knot on the self-binding har-

with the returning import of gold on which we
resumed specie payment? BY that single inn
proycment the cost of wheat WAS reduced not
less than six per cent, and in some places ten

Penn>ylyania's plurality for Harrison is o.

General Harrison is said to have offered a

accepted.

1t is thought that not less than million dol

Warner Miller says that the Republican
party must continue its fight for high license

The plurality for Harrison will exceed those
figures.
In Maryland district the tally sheet was
locked in the ballot box and the solution of the
difficulty is doubtful Il, the box cannot be

a Washington special to the Mail and Ex-

Senator Evarts. who will he appointed to the
supreme bench. in place of Judge Blatchfort,
who will be retired.
The New York Herald has this suggestion on
the solid South: "A solid South against solid
North. This is one solemn fact. While the
Democrats carry New Jersey and Connecticut,
the Republicans win West Virginia. New Jer-
sev and Connecticut are only the political over
flow of the Metropolis, and we may as well ac-
cept it as the solid South against the solid
North. And in this we note the one crcunl-
stance most to be regretted. something that our
Southern friends should think of Seriously.
That solid South deusion, that holding il m
ineXtricable political embrace the dead and
damned Confederacy-t truly, truly it is a misor
able business. and now we see what becomes of
it. If oar Southern friends, those who have
sense enough to remember that some things
have happened since 1865. would only set them
atheism. it would be national gain.

tance reSembled building on fire. so much so
that it lured several Democrats from their

action. When most there they learned their
mistake and returned home sadtler and wiser

For Political Reasons.

E.G. JORDAN OF FREEroET DRIVEN FROM HIS
HOME IN DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, RE
CAUSE HE SPOKE Ills POLITICAL OPINIONS.
Mr.. Z. Il. Jordan with his wife ana eight
children passed through. Portland Nov. Is on
his way to Frecport. His is a strange story
and intensilies the belief that the Republicans
were not restored to power any too soon. Mr..
Jordan native of Maine, went South from
Wisconsin about four Years ago. and for the
past l-2 years he has resided at Durham, y.
C.. He had established trade in Il small way rs
merchant, and being free to say what he
pleased soon came to be recognized a> -omt-
what OF a leader among the knights of Labor
and Republicans This fall he was nominated
for constable and when his votes We're counted
it was found that he had pollcd large vote.
and it was not impossible that he was actually
elected. At any rate on the night folloWin"
the election body of MASKED men rode up to
his house and called him from his bed and
served notice on him that the 'commitee' mad
decided that he must leave town and at once;
that if he did not leave by the o'clock train
the next morning they would hang him. He
protested to them that he had no money to take
himself and family away and they
promised to see to that. About O'Clock they
returned with word that the committee"
would not do anything for him, but they would
see to it that the family did not suffer. but a,
for him, his only course was to leave the city
by the $ O'Clock train. His CONSERVATION, and
the fright and anxiety of his wife and children
can more easily be imagined than described.
AS soon daylight he went forth to try to
raise money but he could find none, and the $
o'clock train came and Went without him. Be
lieviny that no harm could come to him in
broad daylight he continued his search for
money. While in store telling his story to
friend, he was seized by four big and power
full men and FASTENED into closely covered
carriage and driven rapidly from the town.
Democrat, who had taken no interest in his
story at first when he saw the violence, order
ed his own carriage and followed the rutlians.
He overlook them, and gave his personal
word that Mr.. Jordan and his family should
be out of town before | o'clock, and the ruians
released him. Capt. Paris, the Storekeeper
who came to his rescue, took him in his carri-
age, drove him home, ordered him to pick up
what he could and be at the depot at II 80.
He obeyed, they took the little luggage that
they could and with the money furnished them,
started on their long journey to a land of free
dom. He has left behind him all the property
he has In this world; his wife is i'll. caused by
the shock, and his courage not of the best. At
Freeport he will endeavor to find work, and
begin life again.
Mr.. Jordan says North Carolina is almost As
surely Republican as Vermont if fair count
could be obtained.
