er residing near Brandon, was assaulted

settle an account with him. Sloan and
Daley went into shed, and after time
Sloan called Mrs. Daley to come out and
look at her dead husband. Daley's skull
was fractured by the blows delivered
Sloan left in scene at once.
The tragedy had strange and swift
ending. however. Wednesday morning
the 3 o'clock sleeper ran over and killed
man at Farrington's crossing. The
body was badly mutilated, but in a
pocket letter addressed to Patrick
Sloan was found, showing the victim to
be the man who assaulted Daley the
evening before.

The friends of good government in
New York City have wisely resolved to
present solid front to the common foe
An .Tammany fusion was reached
Monday, when the representatives of The
Republican organization, the Chamber
of Commerce, the New York State De-
mocracy agreed upon union ticket. The
Platt wing of the Republican party in
that city was strongly opposed to flu
sion ticket of any kind. A straight Re-
publican ticket was demanded But the
supporters of law and order and good
government prevailed, and with the best
grace possible, the Platt people then
numbered themselves on the winning
side. A union ticket was a necessity in
redeeming the city from Tsmmauy cor
ruption last fall. The same necessity
for solid front prevails this year. And
as a result of this fusion, this falls cleo
tion promises to he another deadly blow
upon the head of the PROSTATE Tammanv
tiger. The offices to be filled are unim-
pOrtant as compared with those of last
year, but the united sentiment against
Tammanyism which the preliminary
contests revealed and strengthened show
that the reform work of last year is t.
be continued indefinitely.

Mr. Pavey Is fortunate In the constituency to
which he appeals. The XVIII District comprises
tho yyyth. XXyIIth and XXIXth Assembly
districts The XVIII Is the old Nth, and the
XXyIIth Is largely made up Of the old XXIst.
Those are two of the most independent and in
tellIgent Republican districts In the city. Any
genuine Plat sentiment in them can only be
discovered by a searchlight. Consequently, in
attempting TO defeat Mr. Pavey. the Boss has
undertaken a contract Of large dimensions. The
only serious difficulty in the way thus far has
heen the candidacy Of Mr.. Howard Payson
Wilds. who represented the NANllth District
IN the Assembly last year Mr.. Wilds Is one Of
the best Republicans that the city had at Al
banv He Is an able, high-minded official; his
record Is above reproach. In every good work he
and Mr.. Pavey worked together, and except for
the fact that Mr.. Pavcy had taken such an ag-
gresslye position and had brought down upon
him the wrath Of the Plat element, 1t would be
difficult TO choose between them. But Mr. Pavey
has been marked for slaughter ever since last
winter. and has. therefore, become the logical
candidate Of the situation To deny him the
nomination would be to sacrifice him In Platts
interests. 1t would be grave mistake. The
general feeling among the antiMachine leaders
in the district is in favor Of Mr. Wildss return

District. where he Is bound 10 take high place
and may become the reform candidate FOR Speak

can do so, and the enormous stocks carried over

involves the certainty that larger crops Of cotton
remain at the South and in mill stocks than had
been reckoned, and in the earlier months Of the

MP P4TEY EOR SENATOR

If anything were needed to convince the Re-
publicans Of the XVIII Senate District that As
semblyman Pavey Is proper candidate to repre-
sent them at Albany, it is furnished by the OPP
position Of The Albany Evening Journal"
Platts mouhpece at Albany. That paper thinks
Mr.. Pavey too young for the honor TO which he
aspres, and while it comedies that his record in
the Assembly was fair yet "he lacked expert
"ence and judgment, and was inclined to be in
"fuenced by insignificant rather than important
considerations" This is simply another way
of saying that Mr.. Pavey ought not to be nom
mated, because, when a majority Of the Repub-
leans in the Legislature hesiated as TO whether
they should or should not join Mr. Plat in his
crusade against Mayor Strong, Mr. Pavey boldly
defied the Boss and led majority Of the New
York Assemblymen to array themselves sauarely
on the side Of reform and against the State ma
chine. Every one knows that Dir. Paveys reso-
lutte attitude did more 10 crystalline legislative
sentiment against Platts proposed reprisal legis-
lation than anything else that was done at AL
bany. 1t was severe blow TO Plat and one
entirely unexpected. He remembers It. and
hence we find him pulling every wire he can
get hold Of to defeat Mr.. Paveys nomination
He has even drafted into his service FOR this
work Mr.. John Sabine Smith. who ought 10 be

ltical workers who formerly foamed at the

HELP FROM TILE FdRMS.

The crops Of 1895 will materially exceed re-
cent expectations, and contribute greatly TO the
Improvement in business. 1t Is true the wheat
crop is short. But returns Of threshing within
the last two weeks have decidedly sustained the
most hopeful expectations, so that The Orange
Judd Farmer" which estimated the output last
year more closely than any other agricultural
journal. and was led month ago to reduce its
Indications for this year to about 4O5,OOO,OOO
bushels, now states that the damage to winter
wheat has been exaggerated, and that the spring
yield is enormous, and puts the crop at 260000-
900 bushels winter and 19000OOOO bushels
spring wheat, against less than 40O,OOO,OoO bush
els in ali, according to Government guesses.
The chances are heavily In favor Of the unofficial
estimate. as usual While the country has raised
in one year over 6OO,OOO,OoO bushels and with
the reduction Of acreage caused by last years
extraordinary prices would have raised over
$50 600, 900 bushels. so that there Is an actual
loss Of more than a sixth Of the labor and seed
expended by the farmers, yet the crop with the
heavy stocks carried over will more than suffice
for all probable demands.
At least 100000 bushels wheat was brought
over from last year. and with 450,000000 bush
els new wheat, the country would have about
40 000,0 900 bushels for export. This Is almost
as much as was exported last year. flour includ-
ed, but European crops promise better as well
as supplies from other exporting countries, so
that the remarkably small foreign demand thus
far may be fairly accepted as indicating con-
siderable decrease in exports this year. 1t Is
also be considered that the use OF corn instead
OF wheat naturally expands when corn Is abun-
dant and cheap, and there Is every reason to he
lieve that the greatest crop OF corn ever known
Is out Of harms way. The remaining possibili-
ties Of injury are scarcely worth serious consd-
Grafton, and the small part Of the yield affected
would be in any case only surplus. In the
