1t is a united Republican party in this State
against faction-rent. demoralized Democracy.


Democratic testimony 10 the worth Of Demo
cratic candidates is sometimes mighty interesting
reading just now, for example to that partys can
didate for Governor No one will call into question
the Democracy Of The Brooklyn Citizen" 1t is
the recognized organ of the party In the big city
beyond the river. Well, here is its account Of
Mr. Flower THE commercial candidate has
learned his lesson well. He has obeyed his
masters, who have had him chained up and muz-
lied since last June, with slavish devotion.
Nobody knows the commercial candidate better
than Ed Murphy and Richard Croker. Mr..
Flower is as familiar with municipal reform as a
wooden Indian He knows as much about the
government Of cities as a signpost The excise
question is TO him sealed book The manage
ment OF the canals is beyond his understanding.
What wonder that the same journal adds, 1t
needs no expert TO predict o catastrophe? We
beg our readers TO remember that this is not our
denunciation Of Mr.. Flower. 1t is the utterance
Of a leading Democratic organ in the second city
of the STATE; a paper said to be owned chiefly
and controlled by a member of the Democratic
State COMMITTEE AS such, wc commend it to
consideration.

Fair at Columbus. The bulk Of it was devoted
to the tariff question, which he handled in a

of the Mills bill, with its abolition of duties on

THE dsaffection in Brooklyn over the repudia-
ton OF Chaplin for Flower. the " flamboyant
millionaire ia echoed by the bitter feeling
created in Buffalo by the nomination Of Sheehan
for second place. The Cleve and Democracy Of
Buffslo denounce Shoehan as a traitor and
totally unfit man for Office, ard their organ,
"The Enquirer" serves notice that they will
bot that portion OF the ticket at all events.
The situation is decidedly interesting. In the
second city OF the State the Democrats are con-
fessedly surly and sullen; in the third they are
in open revolt. The harmony engendered by
the convention at Saratoga, il placed on cxhibi-
ton. would take up mighty little room.

culiar pleasure in toe unanimous nomination by
a Republican convention in Brooklyn of Judge
Pratt for another term on the bench of the
Supreme Court. Judge Pratt is Democrat,
but not a partisan. OF course he win be re-
nominated by his own party also, and to all in
tens and purpO,es h. is as good as reelected
already. He has been a conscientious, high
minded. diigent, impartial, industrious Judge.
His third term on the bench has been fairly

OUR FARMER EATHkRs :.

It is sometimes we'll to look back over the road, take bearings, and measure progress. When we find farmers and lshorers politically in arms against alleged oppression and hard times, we naturally turn to view the conditions of the gs,od old times, " when ever, r,bOdy was prosperous and contented.
 The farmer of the day makes two special complaints: High prices for what he buys and low prices for what he sells. How was it with our farmer fathers?
 Take the staple dry goods article, calico. In l79o it cost 5s cents yard, in 1880 29 cents, in 1880 II cents, in 1891 S cents.
 Take the staple grocery article, sugar. In l790 1t cost lSi cents for cheap brown grades, in 1880 15 cents, i'll 1880 10 cents, in 1891 5i cents for granulated.
 For what the farmer sells, take staple dairy product, butter. The lows: In l790 n cents. in 1880 IS cents, in 1860 26 cents, in 1891 29 to 35.
 The staple meat product, dressed beef, in Massachusetts sold in l7o0 at only 3f cents, In 1880 n cents, 1860 l2 cents, and in 1891 l2 to lS
 Our farmer fathers of revolutionary days whistled among the stones and pumpkin vines of sterile New England, attired in cotton jeans and shirting that cost 90 cents yard, slept on tick ing that cost 90 cents, and if rich enough, wiped the precipitation from their brows with handkerchiefs that cost 70 cents. Their wives, if unusu- ally stylish, paraded in muslin at 75 cents, ginghams at 55 and cambric at sl. Pins were l5 cents q paper, for matches everybody borrowed fire. and for farm implements and machinery, the hoe and scythe were as all-mport- ant IS to-day's sulky blow and self binder. -Ex.
