Gov Flower is not in much danger of
being nominated for the Presidency, but
in view of the possibility of such an
event the Albany Journal has been get
ting together some material to boom
him with. He has been Governor of
New York for about four months, but in
that short time he has succeeded in dis
tancing even Hill in the scandal line.
Here is a list of some of his acts which
have been generally condemned by the
people of New York:
The appointment of Isaac II. MAJ
Judge Of the Court of Appeals,
The signing Of the Huckleberry bill.
The Portland daily press., 1892-05-04

So far there are four candidates in the
field for the Democratic nomination for
sheriff, namely, George L. SWEET, Rob-
ert Somers, George Tolman and Win
field S. Sanborn, and the Argus says
there are more to come. The woods are
full of them. The Argus assures them
all that whoever is nominated may be
certain of its cordial support, which is
rather cold comfort for them just now.
The Portland daily press., 1892-05-04

Col. Henry Waterson has frank way
of expressing his views about the Demo
cratic situation which is very refreshing.
He tells his party that it will be suicide
to nominate Cleveland, because Cleveland
cannot carry New York. Indeed the
Colonel goes so far as to say that if
Cleveland is nominated he will be as
badly defeated in the Empire State as
was Mr.. Folger.

1t would seem that the people of Mas
sachusetts had suffered enough from the
endowment orders to be only too glad to
get rid of them in the most expeditions
way possible. But it appears that there
is considerable opposition to the pro-
posed legislation against them, though
some of it explained by the fact that it
comes from men who are in the orders
already and are anxious to get others in
that they may get something out. The
probability is, however, that some re-
strictive measure will be passed before
the General Court adjourns, though it
may not be SO sweeping as the case de-
mands.

The Democrats have given up their at
tempt to expunge Congressman Walkers S
speech and have agreed with the Repub-
licans to submit it to Messrs. Burrows and
McMillin for such pruning as they may
think judicious This will not be en-
tirely pleasing to the Hon. George Fred
Williams, but it is much more sensible
than to continue the present wrangle at
the expense of the country.

The Young Mems Democratic Club is
evidently troubled with a very big head.
If it keeps on with its ridiculous per-
formances it will become the laughing
stock of everybody, as people with big
heads are apt to. If it has any sense
left it will subside for the present.

@The Democratic House has relieved
binding twine from the onerous burden
of seven tenths of a cent a pound, but
it still remains reluctant to meddle
with the duties on iron and coal. Yet if
it is really laboring in the interests
of the people, as it processes, it is a
little strange that it passes by articles in
which vastly more of the dear people are
Interested than in binding twine.

Capt. W. A. Gavet of Detroit, Michi-
gan, is another man who knows that Mr..
Blaine will accept nomination if ten
dered him. Probably if the Captain
could be subjected to cross examination
it would turn out that he does not know
anything about it.

The relations between President Nc
Gowan Of the Council and Councilman
Kehoe seem to be somewhat strained.
The former appears to derive great
deal of pleasure in sitting down upon the
latter. The brethren should dwell to-

The editor took ride out into the
fine country lying south of the Arkan-
saw Sunday. We passed some of the
finest fields of wheat that we have
ever seen at this time of year. There
we're other fields that were not so good,
some that we doubt will be worth
cutting. Apparently the very latest
sown wheat is the poorest, as it did
not come out in time to properly stool,
and will shoot up heads from very
thin stand. Corn is not apparently
doing very well; it is weak and yellow,
as a general thing; but a few warm
days will stifen it up in good shape.
We noticed number of magnificent
fields of alfalfa that viii soon be ready
to take off the first crop, and when we
saw the rank, vigorous, solid masses
of nutritious provender We wondered
why more of our farmers do not raise
it. An immense amount of prairie i
being broken on that side of the river
