THE FOURTH PARTY.

The Harris men in Montgomery county
have formed a county committee to open
a ca mpaign opposing the policy adopted
by the regular Democratic committee.
The GAINESVILLE Chronicle dubs this new
Harris party, the fourth party, and says :
The first time Isham G. Harris was in
Montgomery county was W hen he was
candidate six years ago. He makes it
convenient to come and make speeches
when he has an eye on the United States
senate and five thousand a year Since
he was here six years ago we haye had
three or four close elections, and this
great and good democrat never was heard
to raise his VOC single time. But now
we see how he Loves the people and the
democratic party. In Shelby nd many
counties he advises against primaries, be-
cause his gang had control of the conven-
tions, and when some of "the people"
called for a primary they were showed
under and a primary defeated, He and
his friends called that democracy in those
counties. In Montgomery he finds that
the committe e have decided against hold
ting a primary, because it has not BEEN
the custom, because Harris and Atkins
have not the right to exclude all other
democrats, and Isham q. Harris, the anti
primary man in Shelby and Maury,
comes here and demands a primary

does this mean? Shall our party be made

MRS. CLEVELAND AS A POLITI.
C. AN.
How She Keeps Her Husband
Stirred Up TO Aggressive
Action.

Mrs Cleveland IS very aggressive. She
does not believe IN laan or woman or
party being on the defensive. She be-
lievcs that the enthusiasm is always with
the army making the charge, and il tn ere
is anything for the goou Of it it Is with the
offensive side. IN other words, she is
'spunky III were going to pick out The
acts Of the President in which Mrs. Cleve-
land has had a hand, l would select those
which show most spirit and which threat
en- to owe ride party and personal lines.
She has her life before her, while the
Pc ident is always thinking OF the past
and comparing it with what he might do.
Men are prone to regard what they do,
but this happens infrequen1y with
women"
"What do you think viii become OF
the Cleveland family in the event the
Democratic party Is defeated in Novem-
ber?"
Il don't know any mere about that than
you do from direct knowledge" replied
the woman, but ! have my impression
from what | know Of the family, Mr..
Cleveland is worth a cool half million
dollars The President 5 worth enough
to run the sum total up to almost three
quarters Of million. The property is in
paying CONDITION. Mrs Cleveland always
said that If the President und herself were
lame in any thing it was in their knowl-
edge Of the country and fereign powers.
1t IS my opinion that if Mr.. Cleveland is
defeated in November he will take an ex-
tended trip and that they will settle dow u
in New York City. Their income will
make them all the competence they want
Neither OF them is extravagant. They
can live on half as much money as the
Garfield or Grant family would live upon
and their economy might be said to rival
that OF the Hayes family. The President
need not do anything, but he would prac-
tce law occasionally, and would be the
representative of important interests.
They would get along don't worry about
that Il may be, as you suggest, that they
would attract no political attention, be-
cause the President is not inclined him
self to make ardent friends Of his political
associates or business companions. But il
he would be lost sight OF in the political
aud comm ercial world, neither the Presi-
dent nor his wife would lose sight one Of
the other I don't think either of them
would want to cut any figure in the social
world after they left the White House

A steady Decline in the Condition OF
Winter wheat
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 27.-The
Northwestern Miller's report of the
crops condition is as follows: Cold,
dry and backward weather has been
the order of the day for the last six
weeks. Instead of a steady improve
ment there has been steady decline
in the general condition Of the winter
wheat crop up to this time. The out
look of the Pacific slope is by no means
tirely upon rains. An unusually long
dry term is at present causing much
anxiety as to future results. Illinois
to-day makes the poorest showing for
a crop of winter wheat of any state in
the belt, and the indications are that
the state will prove failure so far as
the yield is concerned, unless the pres
emit extreme conditions are mltlgated:
Indiana has made no Improvement
since the last report, and there is no
no change for the better to note in
the condition of Ohio. The weather still
keeps cold and backward in Michigan,
and the crops look brown and I'm
healthy. The condition cannot be de-
termined until warm weather puts in
an appearance. Missouri shows moth
ing to-day to warrant crop as large as
last season, while the outlook in Kan
sas is still encouraging, yet the fact
cannot be disguised that insects have
appeared in various portions of the
state. Reports from Tennessee are
still favorable, as are those from Texas,
and there is no change in the outlook
of Kentucky. All through Canada,
wheat is still backward and looks
brown, but has been well protected
all winter and is thought TO
have come through all right
A very thorough survey of the spring
wheat situation in the northwest shows
that in Manitoba the weather contin-
ues very backward and seeding is from
| ten to twelve days later than last year,
and the general conditions are not very
favorable. Minnesota and Dakota
seeding is twelve to fourteen days late.

which raise over third Of the wheat

year is only about three-quarterS of q

ly all better than when the
April agricultural bureau report was
gathered. The amount plowed up be-
ing very small. Farmers there will be
compelled to sell. Missouri has fair
crop prospects, a trife better than
three weeks ago, but somewhat worse
than year ago, where they had very
large crop. Trifle larger amount than
usual has been plowed up in other
states. The season is backward nearly
a third of the reports saying there has
not been enough growing weather to
show actual condition of the crop, but
majority of them seem to think that
warm rains soon would improve the
appearance. Indiana reports that
nearly a quarter of the acreage
has or will be plowed up. Illinois
about fifth. Ohio about one eight,
while it is too early to tell about
Michigan. The present prospect is for
about two thirds of a crop in Michi-
gan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, while
Indiana seems to be poorest. The

NEW YORK, April 26.-The Sun this
morning prints the following double
loaded editorial in its leading columns:
"A political rumor reaches us from a
high republican source, and of so i'm
pOrtant character that we publish it
prominently. According to this init
nation, the last thing that Mr.. Blaine
will do, as he embarks on board the
steamship which IS to bring him home
| to the United States, will be to renew
in the most positive language his re-
fusal to be the republican candidate for
the presidency.
''This time the declaration will be SO
absolute that it will give to all his
| friends a notice which they cannot
| ignore. He will say that even if he
should be nominated by the Republi.
can convention he will refuse to stand
and as it will be impossible to commun-
icate with him after the publication OF
| this new refusal until the convention
has met and done its work and ad-
| journed, his most enthusiastic support.
ers will no longer be able to find any
reason for hoping that he may be in
duced to change his mind and accept
the nomination"
''Such a course would be most credit
able to Mr.. Blaine, and while it would
leave the majority of the republicans tt
regret that they cannot have him fol

the party and increase his moral power
in it much more than it could be in
