It Means Another Victory.

President Harrison's nomination
means another great victory for the Re-
publican party in November. That his
candidacy will call out the full strength
Of the party at the polls is proven by the
fact that it did so in 1888, when he was
little known. Since then he has grown
immeasurably in the estimation Of his
fellow citizens, regardless of partisan
bias, and especially in the confidence of
his own party.-Denver Republican.

Commencement Synonymous with end
ing rather than with beginning does not
seem lust right. 1t, nevertheless, has that
meaning in connection with giving the
degrees at college to the members of the
graduating class at the ending of the col
lege year rather than at the beginning
or commencement OF the next college
year, as used to be done in years long
since gone by.
In the DAYS of good old Dr. wayland
commencement day was State holiday,
and occurred annually in September An
elderly gentleman told me last night
about the old commencement days.
Yes" said he, lit was great day. The
whole State used TO pour into Provi-
dence. There were professions, and
cookie stands were erected on the side
walks IL was the biggest holiday of the
year. but there was not the racket OF the
Fourth of July. The graduates, who had
gone to their homes, all came back TO the
college and had their degrees conferred
on them.

commencement day. The graduates came

a great man and every one knew him.
Dr Wayland came I'm with his cap and
gown and conferred the degrees oh. IL
was great day.
They had no promenade concerts or
ANYTHING OF that'sort then but the main
interest was in commencement day.
When the college grew so large that
many students came from distant parts
of the country IL was too much for them
to come back la September aud 40 com
mencsment day was changed To June. I
suppose that MAS the time when IL
stopped being State holiday"

Mr.. Blaine's unselfish and patriotic
appeal will be needed, we think, by Re-
publicans of every grade. So far as
concerns Mr.. Blaine's especial following,
IL was not needed. The Blaine men are
not Republicans for revenue only; they
do not use their knives upon men who
represent Republican principles; they
are not addicted to boiling conventions
in which they have participated when
the results do not satisfy them.-Brook-
lyn Times.

That so bitter struggle as this just
ended should cause criticisms and re-
grets to mix with the Civilizations of the
victors is inevitable. But with the great
majority Of the party any disappoint-

THE WESTERN DEMOCRACY.

In calculating political chances this
summer the business sentiment OF the
West is something that must be taken
very definitely into consideration. The
satisfaction of business men the country
over with the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison will make it extremely
difficult for the Democracy to put up
any man who can take the conservative
business vote away from him.
A leading Democrat of Kansas City,
a strong party man but man of large
business interests, was in Providence on
Saturday. president Harrison" he
said, sis from the standpoint of the
West by far the strongest man the
Republicans could have named. doubt
if he can be beaten. He has made a
good President and the conservative
men of the country feel themselves safe
in his hands.
"The free silver ranters have no
strength with the business men of the
West, outside Of the mining regions; they
are distrusted and feared, and for this
reason among others no Western
Democrat can get anything more than
the strictly partisan vote of his own
party, if he gets the nomination. The
conservative Democratic vote and the
independent vote of the Wess would go
to Mr.. Cleveland or possibly to Mr..
Whitney, but not to any other Democrat
living.
"If Mr.. Cleveland is not nominated
the party is beaten if he is nominated,
considering the look of things in New
York, / am not very sanguine." This is
the opinion of man who knows the
West and who has held high Office under
the Democracy. 1t may be taken as
very fairly representative of the large
interests which look at all sides of a
question closely before they commit
themselves to any change in national
affairs.
Mr.. Harrison is a satisfactory Presi-
dent, the West does not trust its own
men, Mr.. Cleveland is weak in New
York these are big bull points for Re-
licanism.

the knot whereby One, the beautiful

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

BULLETIN No. 8.
Seeding is general and the ground
is in excellent condition. In some Of
the southern counties early potatoes
have been planted and the ground is
being prepared for corn. Several
correspondents in central and western
counties report that more spring wheat
Will be sown than usual, owing to the
fact that some fields of winter wheat
will have to be plowed under and
seeded over. 1t is quite evident that
the freezing temperatures which have
occurred every night the past week
have lowered the condition of winter
grains; in fact meadows and all vegeta-
ton have been practically at stand
still. Early fruit buds were not
sufficiently advanced to be injured by
the cold. Yesterday the temperature
rose about 20 degrees over the whole
state, and the weather map to-day
gives fair promise of warm growing
weather during the next few days at
least. \ week Of warm sunshine will
bring the meadows forward and give
stock the much needed pasturage.
The extreme southern and south
eastern counties show winter wheat,
rye and clover to be in much better
shape than in the remainder of the
state. Jefferson County reports that
tobacco beds are being made. Monroe
county reports that cranberry vines
wintered poorly, owing to the fact that
but few marshes were flooded
