In 1880, 40 years latrr, it ' fchowed that the Republicans were ia a terrible condition and in danger of be ing wiped off the earth.

JOHN JOHN PAULR, Superintendent, Rothchild Building overshadowed everything else. Both Garfield and Hancock were nominated by shrewd manipulation in the face of the fact that the majority in each party preferred another man. Garfield faced what seemed certain defeat from knif ing by great leaders In his own party. The Republican breach was closed by the milking of many promises, most of which could not be fulfilled. In the Democratic party the leaders who were battling for "reform" were outwitted by the practical politicians, and the verv same practical DOlltlclana rnmmttteili party hara-kiri in the closing daja of the campaign. The Republican national convention at Chicago tn 180 was the scne of the greatest battle ever fought for a mim ical nomination. General Grant, having returned from a triumphal tour around the world, was an active candidate, for a third term. He had the support of hosta of the Republican voters and of me snouting masses. Jamea O. Blaine was tne lavorite of the politicians and of, a majority of the Reoublirans who were not carried away by the glamor of uianiB iiiiiiinry mine, maine was tne moat magnetic leader his party has had. r.nu nis rouowing was a peiaonal one. Opposed to BLalne was the able and austere Roscoe Conkling, senator from iew iorK. .Because he hated Blaine rather than because he loved Grant Lonating lea the Grant forces In the convention.

The Greenbackers were Injuring the Ke publican pdrtv more than the Demo cratlc at that time, although the condt tton was reversed In later years. The prospect of a complete overthrow of Republican power caused the party leaders to bury their factional differ ences Conkling at least consented to call on Garfield. And, as a supreme sacrifice of personal feeling, Conkling persuaded General 'Grant to take the stump for the first time In hla life to cpeak for Garfield. That stopped the in cipient revolt wnich threatened irre trievable disaster to the party. The Democratic convention met In June, and, in spite of the sentiment of nine-tenths of the Democrats of the country, and in spite of the protests of its wisest leaders. It nominated Gen eral Wlnfleld Scott Hancock for presi dent. It was not that the Democrats did not like Hancock, for he was very popular, and -Jiad been mentioned as a candidate for president in every con vention since the war. 1 Wanted TQdan. But the Democrats, and many of the Independents, too, wanted Samuel J. Til den renominated. "Give us the old ticket!" they cried. "Let us fight It out with the fraud of '77 for our issue!" Although Hayes had made a good presidents aunougn ni administration had restored peace In the country, and although specie payments had been re-1 sumed, and a dollar was once more a dollar, there were none so poor as to do Hayes honor. He hadn't pleased his own party politicians, and the Demo crats hated hl-n because they believed he was president by grace of fraud. Tammany Hall hated Tllden, and Tammany Hall told the Democrats at Cincinnati that they would knife him. It was a convention of politicians, and th.v 11ntned to Tamm.nv Tint thv neglected to extract a promise from Tammany that any other candidate would not be knifed. So Tllden was turned down, the Democrats forfeited their right to raise tha Issue of the "6raud of "77." arid Hancock was named. with William H. English of Indiana as running male. The camnalm wan a fleircelv content ed one, and the Democrats were almost certain of victory until the very last J ne .Republicans were rearrul. but Gar field was a very ambitious man, and he did not Intend to be defeated if hu man agencies could prevent it.

It has 'been said of him that he was the only candidate for president who ever dared to tell the truth about the tariff, and that It beat him. Undoubtedly, General Hancock's famous statement "The tariff is a local same," bad much to do with his defeat. THL TIME, IS RIPE, To advertise your ware in northern California.

The crop for the few yards that were taken care of is up to the average this season. But less than one half the acreage was cared for. A number of the yards were cleaned of the hop vines earlv In the year, and the around planted to fruit trees; others were al lowed to "run wild," and the hops from these will not be picked. The Drinclrtal producing yard for this country is that I of Flannairan & Cornell. This was for- merly the Ranzau yard. About 200 pick- ers have been employed on this yard, which is located on Rogue river, seven miles below Grant's Pass.

But, notwithstanding direct attacks upon Garfield's integrity and insinuations against Hancock, the campaign exhibited less of vituperation and personal abuse than had been the rule for rears.
