cratic Leaders Said to be in Distress.
fCopight, 1883, By the California associated Prsss
WASHINGTON, October 7th-Judge Thur
man is still at Oakview. Inquiries at his
hotel were responded to by the statement
that he was expected this afternoon. This
conference of the Democratic candidates is
generally reported here as of considerable
moment. A statement has gone out that
Judge Thurman's visit to Washington was
for the purpose of attending to business
connected with the Bell telephone case, for
which he is retained as special counsel for
the United States, at an annual salary.
This is not generally believed On the con-
trary, il is thought to be entirely owing to
the
BAD OUTLOOK FOR THE DEMOCRACY,
Particularly in New York. 1t has been
conceded for several days past that the con-
test for the Democrats in the Empire State
was almost hopeless.
The row between Tammany Hall and
the County Democracy has frightened even
the most enthusiastic friends of Mr.. Cleve-
land. That to-day's con ference at 0 K lew
was something more than 4 mere friendly
visit is evidenced by the fact that all the
Democratic leaders drove there early in the
morning, and have spent the day in con-
ference. The first caller was Postmaster
General Dickinson, and he was followed
shortly by Secretary Villas, who drove there
immediately from church. Later in the
day Senator German, Speaker Carlisle VIM.
Dickson, congressman Yoder and Breckin-
ridge, aud number of Democratic leaders
followed.
All of these gentlemen returned after
nightfali, and all refused to be interviewed.
Congress man Breckinridge did not deny,
however, that the political outlook had
been discussed.

safe hit into right field, landing Hurley at
third. Jack Smith came to the bat, and

CHICAGO, October 7th.-The following
estimate of the total corn crop of the

Farmers RevieU of October 10th:
As the increase in the corn crop of 1888
over that of 1887 will be produced almost
entirely in the seven great corn States of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska, we have compiled
careful estimate OF the corn crop in those
States on the basis of an average yield per
acre, as reported by our correspondents,
and the area planted, as estimated in the
July report of the Department OF Agricul-
ture. Total for the seven States, l, ,435, 1884,
$50 bushels, as compared with 7S0, ,425, 900,
the yield reported tor 1887, or a gain of
654 759,S5S bushels. Assuming that the
crop in other States will be equal to that OF
last year 675, 736 900 bushels, we estimated
the total corn crop of 1888 at 2,110,920, ,S5S
