Red Bluff-The damage done to all
crops by the "norther'' of last week is
greater than at first thought. A great
amount OF fruit was knocked off the trees.
Wheat and barley was threshed cut and
the late-sown grain was greatly pinched.
The weather has been more favorable TO
crops since Tuesday last; barley and in
some instances wheat is being harvested.
Corning-rhe winds have done consid-
erable damage by Smelling out ripe grain
and whitening vegetation OF all kinds.

CONICAL ELECTIONEERING.

We are much relieved to be credibly
infodmed that the Mckinley manage
ment has not overlooked a very essen
tial adjunct in the coming campaign
and has decided to have their candidate
swing the western circuit on a spell
binding expedition before the June con-
Yention
Aside from the pleasurable anticipa-
ton of being spellbound it is good to
see thing thoroughly well done, and
nothing overlooked. His Ohio friends
say that though brief in stature he has
a presence more or less commanding,
and the sweeping work OF his vigor
leaves a face somewhat clerical or
classical, as You like, whilst in a fort
night he may be bearded like the pard.
Here are the elements to Spell-bind
large numbers of people, no matter how
widely different in taste and difficult to
pleeSa. He is an adept at getting out of
a speech all there is in ii, and in one
way has an advantage over all others
not accustomed to the use of the rear
platform Of a pullman. Eulogistically
commenting on this they say in the east
he is wont ito begin an exordium on the

section at Harderabble and open with
the perotation at PlumpSock." Prob
ably in the west, by a pleasing varia-
ton of method he may be able to main
tain himself in Colorado, for instance,
by opening with an earnest exposition
of the silver question at Denver, plead
the necessity of the rod from great pro-
vocation at Leadvillle, and conclude
every period with a lash at Cripple
Greek. This would be all sufficient for
Colorado, and the state could hardly
be prevented from falling on his neck
in the convention.
Unfortunately We note no provision
for the state playing outside of the
grand circuit, possibly including
Kansas and We earnestly commend it
To the management whether it might
not be well TO send his photograph, to-
gether with one dollar in good redeem
able money, TO each individual voter
who is unable to get spell-bound. As
a solace we can think of nothing better
than his photograph, and as an argu-
ment for sound money We have often
observed that no man will take coun-
eel, but every man will take money, ergo
money is better than argument as an
incloSure. L. d. GILBERT.
