GROWS GREAT PLURALITY.
WASHINGTON Post.

Washington Post.
Representative at Large Galusha A. Grow of
Pennsylvania has the proud distinction of
having received at the last two elections a
larger plurality than any other candidate for
any Office in any State in the Union. His
plurality in 1894 was 246, ,462 and in the last
ELECTION it was over $4,000, or 1000 more
plurality than Mr.. Mckinley received. in the
State. Another peculiar feature in Mr.. Grow s
early political life was that he was legislated
out OF office By his own party. He represented
a district in 1860 that gave a majority of
about 10, 600. Two other districts in Pennsyl-
vania at that time also gave overw helming
Republican maiorities, and in redistricting
the State on the basis of the vote for Preside Mt
Lincoln, strong Democratic comfy was
added to each one OF three Republican dis
tricts, in the hope oil preventing the election
OF Democratic Representatives The result was
disastrous, especially in the district which had
formerly been represented by Mr.. Grow, for he
was defeate in 1862 by 1400 m ajority. With
one exception, this district remained Demo-
cratic for many years. Last year, however,
the same counties gave him over II 900 ma
jority.

Prof. Woodwork says that the net

net method while working with gang

were green hands, part white and part

value of scientific agricultural work.
Such pests are sure to come. The av-
