In ALL the recent elections the
returns show a decided falling of
of Republican majorities. The
Republicans bulldozing tactics as
applied by Thos. B. Reed & Co.
are not producing as favorable re-
suits as could be wished for from
the fact that where ever applied a
noticeable decrease in the Republi'
can majorities have been the result
This is cheering news to the Demo
Gratis. To see a revolt in the Re.
publican party and a Reputation
of its leader by the people is very
gratifying indeed. Surely there is

Blue Grass.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Blue grass seed may be had of
almost any scotsman. 1t is very
light, weighing only IA pounds to
the bushel, AND varies in price &C.
cording as it is chaffy or extra
cleaned. 1t is an excellent pasture
grass, and if sown alone about two
bushels to the acre will be requir-
ed. The Kentucky blue grass has
given the pastures of that State, to
which it seems peculiarly well
adapted, a national reputation.
Blue grass starts slowly and takes
a good deal of time for its best
development, but when once es-
tablished does not run out. In
seeding for a pasture it is quite a
good plan to SOW a variety. One
bushel of blue grass, six pounds OF
orchard grass, four pounds of red.
top and four pounds of timothy pei
acre would make a good mixture.
In a favorable soil and climate the
blue grass would ultimately pre-.
