In the next democratic national convention,
as Whitney, Hill and Flower were discard
ed in the last convention at Chicago it will
be interesting to whether Croker will
follow Hill into absolute silence, Whitney
and Flower out of the party, or whether
he will, like Murphy. stand by the organi-
zation. There are those willing to wager
that he will even take his race horses back
to England and spend the balance of his
life in foreign lands.
Meanwhile the question suggests itself to
the practical politician, with two :rrecon-
cilables like Croker in the east and Bryan
in the west, what chance will the demo-
cratic party have Of winning the next pres
idential election?

Favorable conditions for the sowing Of
the fall crops are reported from most parts
of Europe, and the conditions of the crops
so far sown is likewise favorable. The
opinion is freely expressed that an in
creased area has been sown in wheat but
this appears TO be more as a matter of
inference from the natural tendency Of
high prices to produce such an effect than
as an observed fact. The crop reports
from India continue favorable, and on the
whole this Is true to those from Ar
gentina and Australasia, but in all these
countries the harvest is too remote to per
mit any very confident prediction as to the
final outcome. In the case of Argentina.
II may prove that more damage has been
done by the locusts and the spring frosts
than is yet apparent. There is nothing to

the crop Of Manitoba is now represented

He Claims Prosperity and Protection

The annual dinner of the Home Market

The most distinguished guests were Con-
gressmen Nelson Dingley of Maine, Con-
gresham Charles A. Russell of Connecti-

Iowa. and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
Senator Hanna sent letter of regret after
the reading of which three cheers were
given for him.
Congressman Dingley in his address said:

mountains of Duchess county, but little
credence has been placed in the stories.

came out OF the woods to the lake to drink
and stood as If bewildered on the t,act a.
the train was approaching.
The engineer stopped his train so as not
to hit the animal. The deer hesitated a
moment, and, In full view of the passengers
and train men, turned back from the lake.

again. During the last few weeks deer
have been seen in Dover, Pawling and Fish

New York Politics.

From the Boston TRANSCRIPT.
In 1925 George Tcknor and q foreign
gentleman made call upon the venerable
statesman, John Adams, who was then
ninety years of age. As the callers were
about to take their departure Mr.. Adams
inquired as to the probable outcome of
the contest over the choice Of President,
which was then impending in the national
House of Representatives. Mr. Tfcknor
replied that 1t was likely to depend upon
the vote of New York. whereupon Mr.
Adams remarked: '.As boy and man I
have known New York for seventy years.
and her politics have always been to me
among the devils .ncomprehensibilities."
