ditions have been decidedly favorable to
all growing crops and to the advancement
of farm work. Wheat in these sections
progressing rapidly and with continued
favorable conditions, will be ready to

Grass has made rapid progress in northern
central part OF the state and promises an
average crop. Corn very much improved,
and now looks well. Strawberries plenti-
full. The weather has been favorable to
tomato planters. Crops have slightly suf-
fered in eastern and southern Maryland
from excessive rains, causing the corn to
turn yellow on low lands and wheat to
rust; The tobacco crop in southern Mary
land is about half planted and generally
stands we'll. Tobacco plants scarce and
backward The wheat harvest commenced
at Barron Creek Springs on Thursday, June
9Th, somewhat earlier than last year.

Republican Leagues TO Invite Him to
step Down for Blaine.

New York Evening Telegram of Monday.
While at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this
morning | was told on very reliable
authority. no less q parsonage than one of
the leaders of the Pennsylvania League of
Republican Clubs, bit of sensational
news.
Harrison is the weakest nomination
that could have possibly been made" said
my informant, land as the matter stands
the Democrats have a walk over. New
York has ceased TO he any longer among
the doubtful states, as she Is solidly Demo-
cratic and made so under the machine of
David d, Hill. However much the Demo.
cratic party dislike Hill and his peculiar
methods they should be very grateful to
him for the work he has done in this state.
ANY good Democrat cen carry New York
against Harrison, and the Republicans
know this. They also know that they
must have New York in the Republican
ranks in order to keep their hold on ma
tional affairs.
blaine is the only man to-day in the
Republican party who can to a certainty
carry New York, and 50 per cent of the
Republicans of this country want him to
lead the ticket. There seems to be such a
universal protest against President Harri-
son and his criminal methods of using his
office to perpetuate his power that | think
that he will be crowded of the ticket"
What do you mean2h
Just this-to make Harrison retire from
the first place on the ticket and give it to
Blaine"
But can you do this?" | asked. some.
what staggered by such radical methods
Yes, and from the present outlook it
VIII pc done. There never was such in
gratitude in the world as that of President
Harrison. lie was nominated because
blaine permitted il and elected because
ilalne gave him his hearty support Now
he wants to kick his maker out of the
back door"
But how will you get Harrison?n
nd You ever hear of the League of Re
publlean Clubs? DO you know their
power? They are i'll every state in the
hion, well organized and in touch with
every voter The League Is going to find
out Just how many of the regular Repub
licans who will not vote for Harrison, and
when 5000 men set out to do this work il
