Very little oats are to be seen, owing to
the freeze. A quantity of long. staple

Melons have made fine Roadway the

any later, than last season.
Mr.. J. Will Porter, who is managing
his fathers maggie Lee plantation,
has made great departure from the old
style, in getting an eight-shovel, Jwo-
horse cultlvator. Ten acres can he
plowed in one day, and while it is much
better to have the stu nps and trees
removed, it is perfectly practical to work
among a good, large supply Of stumps.
The shovels are attached to the beams
by pivotal bolt and a wooden peg, so
that when any one of the shovels strikes
root or obstruction which might break
any part of the machine, the wooden

is attached to the pillow, and it is the
work of but a minute to put in another
pin and move on.

GARFIELD AND SHERMAN.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 21.-The
Journal says: Senator Sherman's book.
just from the press, is reviving a
great deal of unwritten history in re-
gard to the National Republican con-
Vent1on Of 1880, when James A. Car
held was nominated for the presidency.
In his book, Senator Sherman, without
making any direct charge, intimates
that Garfield, as his manager, in the
race for the presidential nomina ton,
betrayed him. The sons of the late
President Garfield deny this, and
threaten a complete exposure of the
affair. In 1883, while en- route from
Milwaukee to Washington, a represent
ative Of the Journal met Congress-
man John Finnerty, of Chicago. and
was by him introduced to Senator Cul-
lom, of Illinois, and in the course of
the conversation that followed, Sena-
tor Cullom referred to the national
convention of 1880. Among other THINKS
he mentioned the fact that a secret
meeting had been called by Gen. Gar
field OF leading men of the party, whom
he could trust to be held, before the open
Ing of the convention. in parlor of the
Grand Pacific hotel. Senator Cullom

In the race as q presidential candi-
date. Gen. Garfield then and there out
lined his plans by which he was to Sc
cure the nomination, which so disgust
ed Washburn that he got up and left
the meeting without saying a word.
A few hours later Garfield went into
the convention and nominated Senator
Sherman with q. eulogy that was the
greatest effort of his life, while his
henchmen in different parts of the con-
Vention hall did their part in his own
behalf.

MATT QUAY,S PART IN 1T.
He Saw That Sherman Could Not
Be Nominated

P1TTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 21.-In the
discussion of Senator Sherman's book
the fact is brought to mind that Sena-
tor M. S. Quay, of this state. was prac-
tically the leader of the Sherman
forces in the convention of 1883. A
close friend of Mr.. Quay today gave a
history OF that convention, in which
he takes exception to Senator Sher-
mans view, and says the senator's
personal feelings over defeat led him
to make a rather bitter assertion in
his book regarding the New York dele
cation. The gentleman said:

Pennsylvania delegation for Sherman,
ana was really the active manager of
Sherman's forces: From the first there
wa Was sf aetive opposition to Sherman, and
Tor him were futile, as the delegation
could not be held in check. Finally it
was agreed to drop Sherman and take
up ene next available. man, and at
conference on Friday night Platt and
others agreed with Quay to vote for
Allison. Quay believed, as did PIatt
ana many other politicians of keen
foresight, that it would be suicide for.
the republicans to take up Blaine after
MS letter of declination had been pub
Hshed. He saw that Sherman could
not be nominated because New York
would not stay in line but the greatest
factor in that fight was the extreme
west and Maine, which kept up a hhrl
ran for Blaine, and seemed likely-,to
stampede the convention to the Maine
statesman. For that reason the ALI
son deal was made. New York was in
1T, and so was Pennsylvania. l.-a
Well, when the convention met Ion
Saturday 1t was soon evident that the
deal would not go. The New York
delegates began to object, refused to
stand by the agreement, and showed
such .unmistakable tendencies to. break
away and join the imminent Stampede
to Blaine that it was only after the Bit
terest sort of a fight, that the conyen-
ton was adjourned over Sunday. Then
quay. as well as Platt and all other
leaders, realized that the Blaine ele-
ment must be catered to, and it was
decided to take up Harrison, and this
was done successfully, but after a bit
ter tight. Quay did not want Harrison
any more than Platt, and neither OF
them liked him any better then than
they do now. But it was simply a case
OF compulsory submission. AS far as
sherman is concerned, his game was
played to the limit and would not win.
Then, and not until then, was his cause
abandoned -"
