The nomination Of Platt's Mc-Too. Fassett,
for Governor Of New York has not 10y any
means been received with universal approba-
ton by the Republicans Of that State. In
fact. if the Buffalo Express leading kepubh-
can organ. can be relied on. it has created an
immense amount Of dissatisfaction. That
paper declares that there are many Bepubi-
cans. especially in that part of the State,
who will never vote Tor Fassett, for they be-
lieve him TO be the representative of all that
is abhorrent in politics lie Is, they declare,
n machine man of the narrowest and most
tvrannical kind and that lie is simply the dis
ciple and tool of platt, who is denounced as
the worst political leader who has engineered
a great party 70 defeat.
These Republicans" says the express
rightly or wrongly detest Mr.. Platt and all
his works. Justly or uniustly, they believe
Mr.. Fassett TO be an embodiment of Plattism.
No campaign VIII be long enough 70 get this
idea ont of their heads No influence viii be
strong enough 10 convince them that IL 70
their duty to put the seal of their approval
upon such surrender as this nomination
would be- So far as this class IS concerned
Mr. Platt himself might as well be nominated
and have done with it. The campaign with
Mr.. Fassett as aleader Will be fought on the
same lines and lead to the same end So far
as Erie county goes it will mean Democratic
majority Of from 5000 TO 1000"
These. be it remembered are the uttemnces
of a prominent Republican paper of New
York. which represents the sentiments of a
large element of its party, and they con-
clusiyely indicate that the New Workers are
decidedly unwilling 10 submit to the arbitrary
rule OF Plattism ltmay safely be concluded
therefore that when election day comes
around it viii not find the Republican party
a harmonious whole III favor of platt's
nominee.
On the other hand, the chances for Demo-
cratic success are very bright II is an old
saying, that Democratic Quarrelngs simply
end IN making more Democrats. and, if that is
true, the ranks Of the New York Democracy
ought to be largely augmented. for It must be
confessed that ia 10 State of the Union have
factional discussions been more pronounced.
IL looks very much Just now as if this would
bethecase The Democratic convention tpres-
entinsessiona at Saratoga is reported as being
very harmonious body, and the indications are
that IT viii unite on Roswell +. Flower as the
standard-bearer of the party. In that event
the choice VIII meet the approval of all sec
tions of the state and al factions Of theparty.
and it would not be surprising to see another
overwhelming victory somewhat similar TO
that Of Cleveland over Folger in 1881 At any
rate, the Democracy Of the Empire State have
40 cause for discouragement.

AN AGRICULTURAL CHALLENGE

Tho Democratic and Republican campaigns
have begun in Maryland, and already inc
voicea Of the political orators Of that state
oro hoard in its confines. Tho two men
Brown and Yannort. who are pitted against
each other in the contest now IN progress
ore not remarkable for their speaking talents.
and are therefore unable by that means 70
make very much impression upon popular
audiences.
Roth however. are using there records as
farmers 70 secure the preference OF ths
voters. The farming interest. Republican
and Democratic. carried the day in the norni-
nations Of both gentlemen, as each was sup
posed 10 represent that interest pre-eminentlv
in his urivnte lfo. Both Of them are saga
cious enough TO see that the candidate who
can most deeply impress the farmers with DIS
superior knowledge OF all farming matters
Will 10 that extent advance the chances Of
his election over those Of his rival
Not being very fluent upon tho stump
neither Brown nor Yannort are ab.e 10 I'M
part to the people Of Maryland by word OF
mouth lust conception Of the amount OF
KNOWLEDGE which he has Of the science Of
farming. and FOR that reason they have very
wisely decided that thoy will give practical
Illustrations Of their agricultural information
and mechanical skill. Farmer Yannort
has challenged Farmer Brown 10
blowing contest, and Farmer Brown
has accepted with alacrity, but on one
condition. namely. that the land 30 be plowed
shall after tho operation is over be seeded with
grain for next years crop. Farmer Brown
shows hy this provident spirit that he is too
careful an agricuturist 10 waste his blowing
even WHOM done by way OF q temporary ex-
pertinent
Farmer Brown IS not 10 DO satisfied with
only a blowing match with his opponent.
He challenges him 20 a. comparison Of the
general condition of the vannort farm with
that Of tho Brown farm, and he is prepared 70
stand with his rival an examination on agri-
culture IN order 10 show which Of the two IS
entitled 10 the greater political consideration
in the gubernatorial contest now going on.
This is q very novel method of conducting
a political campaign. and Farmers Yannort
and Brown should be accorded the merit
Of great originality in their political can-
vass. If the same principle should be adopted
throughout the United States we shall here
after expect rival candidates to claim the
favor Of al voters not on the score of higher
services or more extensive information, but
on account OF the larger size Of their cabbages,
the superior height of their timothy and corn
and the greater yield Of their wheat to the
acre.
II the Brown-ynnnort idea Of a political
campaign is carried ont very generally, all
gubernatorial contests in the future will pro
badly be decided by agricultural oxhibi-
tons on the part Of political candidates the
man who can make the greatest display IN
1--we stock. fruit. vegetables and the cereals
and who can run the straightest row with his
pillow. being awarded the prize Of tho gov
ernorship.

The recent decline in the price Of wheat
and other cereals IN Europe was followed by

and commenting on this coincidence the
Philadelphia Record makes a good point
II says that the farmer should learn from
this that while ho is obliged to sell his
wheat. corn. cotton pork beef and other
staples Of his production for what he can get
IN open competition with all the rest Of the
world, lie is cut of from the advantage Of
buying bis clothing tools, salt, lumber, fuel
and other necessaries Of living in cheaper
markets. AS seller no completes with the
lowest sellers as a buyer he Is obliged to buy
N the dearest market. In other words, he
is made TO carry on his broad back all the
puny and staryeling industries which cannot
be sustained except by means OF such com
pulsory assistance"

United states District Attorney Miichrist has
apparently discovered way by which Secre-
tary Foster and all his SUCCESSORS may be re-
lieved of every apprehension in future about
the reserves and balances in the Treasury.
Recently II seems that Fifth-avenue mer-
chant imported a case Of garnet iewelry.
which was inyoiced at $40. This was de-
cided by the appraisers 20 be an underyalua-
ton. and tic true value was placed at s43O.
A clause of the Mckinley law says that
for each per cent added by the appraisers
10 the invoiced value of imported goods, 2
per cent. of penalty shall be imposed 10y tho
collector. Under the operations Of this law
the duty on these garnets amounted 20 1858.
The importer of the stones has declared
most emphat.cally that he viii never pay sGG9
duty on $40 worth OF garnets, and the dis
trict attorney has decided that they shall b.
sold for the unpaid duty. and if thoy fall to
bling the 1909, lie declares that the Govern
ment can sue the importer for tho amount
due over and above that realized. aud tic
same can De collected on Judgment
