The Globe congratulates Tho
Times on it's editors nomination for
Il very honorable position by his
political party Dakota Globe.
Geo. p. CARED, candidate fol
lieutenant governor on the Demo-
cratic sticket, North Dakota, set
type in Minneapolis. He will run
ahead of his ticket Minneapolis
Tribune.
A Democrat am we'll pleased
with the democratic ticket, and am
particularly gratiGed to see that Geo.
p. CARED, Of Wahpeton, was hon
ored with nomination of lieutenant
governor. He is a democrat from
the ground up, and has always
been one and this nomination is
but fitting recognition of his
faithful services to the party
Fargo Republican.
Geo. p. CARED, editor of the
Wahpeton Times, candidate for
lieutenant governor on the demo.
cratic ticket, is popular in his own
county and elsewhere where he is
known. He has never been a can
didate for public office before, but
will certainly poll the full demo-
cratic vote. He cannot however,
hope to make any great inroads on
the republican strength against
such a man as Roger Allin.--IN Mil
nor Teller.
The Democrats of Richland
County, in their county convention,
recognized the fact that they owe a
debt of gratitude to Hon. Geo. Z.
CARED, editor of the Wahpeton
Times, for the reason, us a gentle
man neatly put it on the floor of
the convention. that che is the man
who has made many Of us Demo-
Gratis, and but for him many of us
would not be here to-day" Bro.
Garred's fiery editorials about the
"robber tariff have evidently been
doing their work. The Democratic
state convention courteously recog.
nized Richland County's claims,
and. while we shall no longer be
the favored home of the governor,
the Democrats will try to give us a
Lieutenant governor. If the
Gazette should fail to support the
handsome Democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor, the failure is
not to be construed as meaning any
reflection upon his character or fit-
ness.-[ Richland County Gazette.

Farm Products Should be High,

To the Edi tor Of The Times:
have received the August report
OF the statistician for the govern.
ment department Of agriculture.
The report is tabulated and aver.
aged from returns Of correspondents
in every section of every state and
territory in the Union. The work
was all done between the 1st and
9th days of this month, and it is not
likely that the yield of any crop in
any state will be materially differ
ent from that indicated in the
report.
The condition of following CROPS
is given: cotton. corn, spring wheat,
rye, barley, oats, buckwheat, pota-
toes, tobacco, hay, pasture, apples,
peaches and grapes. 1t is strik-
ing fact that, with the exception of
Il few states in hay and pasture, no
state or territory shows an average
condition in any one of the before
mentioned crops. Every state and
territory reports the crop condition
below the average in all kinds of
grain, potatoes and fruit. The
general average for the country is
made on a basis of 100 denoting an
aderage crop. This year the result
shows corn %, spring wheat So, rye
S6, oats, 20, barley 50, buckwheat
80, potatoes ~, tobacco SO, hay 93,
pasture 80, cotton SO, apples 50,
peaches As.
With reference to the Indian
wheat crop the report says. "the
acreage was smaller than for several
years, and the crop the smallest re-
ported since statistics of produc-
ton have been regularly collected"
The latest advices from Europe
indicates that there will not be a
large yield of wheat in any conntry
on the continent. American crops
are greatly below an auerage. Far
mers should have large prices this
year for all products.

Too late to use our regular editorial col
umn, The TIMES uses this space at .
o'clock this morning to congratulate its
thousands Of readers upon the political
Waterloo evidenced by returns from all
parts of the country. The Congressional
elections show that not only the south, but
also the whole of Democracy is even
against Radicalism. Ten Democratic Con-
gressmen from Virginia help to swell pos
sible Democratic majority Of more than
fifty 10 the next House of Representatives.
Democracy is now called upon to keep its
ranks solid in all sections of the country 10
bury every personal grievance, and to come
out in 1892 with such an overwhelming
majority that the plotteTs against the Con-
stitutiOn Of this country, against the rights
Of the lsbOring man and the farmer, and
against good government may be buried in
a grave so deep that no one will ever dream
Of monarchy. Following are the results in
Virginia.
