The Farmers Choice.

Blaine and Rusk, Cleveland and
Hatch. These are the republican
and democratic standard bearers for
1892 demanded with unmistakable
earnestness by the farmers of the
entire county. Such certainly is
the result of Farm and Homes re-
markable canvass as announced in
detail on another page. 1t would be
hard to name two tickets more likely
to win universal support of the re
spective parties. Farmers seem de-
termined to have it out again be
tween Blaine and Cleveland, but they
are equally sincere in demanding full
recognition for their special interest.
Hence We infer that If Rusk and
Hatch do not lead the ticket, the
farmers will insist on their having
second place. Certain it is that Mr..
Cleveland's phenominal popularity
among the farmers renders it polit-
cally senselsss for any other man to
strive for first place on the demo-
cratic ticket.
There is no such degree of unan-
nimity among the republicans
though Blaine and Rusk is the inev-
liable outcome of the present tenn
per of the farmers. It is true that
the answers might have been modi-
fed if third party candidate had
been called fora point that was In
advertantly omitted-but this is by
no means certain.-Farm and Home
