THE DEMOCRAT. Mineral Point, Friday, July 2.% IS7H. Geo. Crawford. Robt M. Crawford, EDITORS AM) PUOPRI'UTOM. Wo are pleased to note the fact that a large number of Democrats throughout the county, who lasfc fall united with the Greenback par ty have abandoned that organiza tion and returned to their first love. Many of them were “conspicuous by their absence” at the Greenback County Convention recently held in Dodgeville. Borne aurious facts have been brought to light by the removal of the tax on quinine. It is asserted that the Philadelphia firms who have bail the monpoly of quinine in this country have made over $.'50,000,000; certainly a very snug sum to have got out of shak ing humanity. The removal of the tax will it is estimated, make a saving to the charity hospitals of 180,000 to SIOO,OOO a year. The prohibitionists of lowa held a State convention Uist week and decided not to nominate candidates for State officers. A largo number of tin members of the convention bolted and nominated a full ticket. The Republicans managed to get control of the regular convention and prevented the nomination of a prohibition ticket. The Hutro Tunnel is a demon strated success. It will perform in a satisfactory manner all its projec tor has ever claimed in drawing oil’ the water of a flooded bonanza mines, In a recent test 100 feet of water in the Hale, Norcross and Savage mines was withdrawn through the means of the tunnel in 8 hours time, 'I bis demonstration has created great enthusiasm in that mineral region. The Sutro 'runnel has been completed at a cost of s(i,(mo,(XH) or thereabouts. The Madison Democrat says that “the Watertown convention dis closes one important fact, namely: that the greenback party of Wiscon sin represents an organized bolt within the republican party. It was manipulated and managed al most entirely by disaffected repub licans; and the ticket was made up exclusively of republicans. The democrats had nothing to do with the Watertown affair, and of course were not recognized in the make up of the ticket. The wayward demo crats have returned, en masse, to the old party. 11 is well.” The returns to the Department of Agriculture on .Inly I show that the condition of tie' fruit crop for the whole country is Bad. In the Cast ami North Atlantic States the c rop Both for apples and peaches is good, But from North Carolina to Texas the peach crop is almost a total fail lire, and the apple crop very short, caused By frost in April. In (he large fruit regions Bordering on the Ohio Hirer the failure is quiß’ uni vernal, hut the apple crop will he almost half a crop. In Michigan Both peaches and apples are report ed good, and in Wisconsin, Minne sota, and lowa the apple crop is at an average. California has a full crop of peaches, In a purely scientific view the Comstock lode at Virginia City. Nevada, presents the most inter esliug Held of mining in the world. It is the widest mineral Bearing lode ever discovered, and it has attained a general depth greater t han any other of equal importance Its product has Been so immense as to attract universal attention. Whether it is to continue its won derful yield or to fail altogether must he demonstrated Before many months. The tunnel and the im proved methods of ventilation may permit explorations to Be carried to a depth of four thousand or live thousand feet -about twice the present depth. This ean Be done within a few years. In the mean time the results will Be watehad with great interest. Above the two-thousand-foot levels there is nothing left, of much value, tit so lavas Hu' public have been in formed. Uolmv some good pros pects have been found, and whether they are real bonanzas will soon be determined. Geo. W. Peck, Bays that the Dem ocratic party should stop following off strange wagon tracks and return to the principles that made it a re spetable organization for more years than any of its present mem bers have lived. He believes that if the Democratic party of Wisconsin j will do this “it can make a nomin ation that will place its condidate in the chair now occupied by the pleasant little gentleman whose name is Smith.” The bad taste and blindness of the country cannot be sufficiently deplored by our Republican friends. During the last six months, though the bold, bad Democrats have been overturning the Go' eminent, disbanding the army, repudiating the national debt, inflating the currency, starv ing the Administration, putting in peril the great results of the war, hatching out the wecvel and seven teen-year locusts, scuttling the Honaza mines and butting the bull off the bridge, the increase in bus iness bus actually amounted to 20 percent, and there has been a fall ing off in insolvency of of) per cent. The Republican ruin has gone to meet the Republican rebellion and the Republican exodus. At this rate the Democrats will save the country unless something is done to head them off’ at once.—New York World.
