The opposition to Mr. Oyster seem

to tell the story thnt Mr. Oyster has
witlnlrnw lroni the contest, to secure
votes for their favorite, hut, you know,
' 'a desperate case needs despcrute rem

Colonel William IS. Hart.
From the Tyrone Herald,
William B. Hart, tho Republican
candidate for state treasurer, is a rep
resentative man in the truest sense of
the word. He went into ofllee as a
clerk of the lowest elm-9, and gradually
worked his way forward, recognized
at every step for his personal worth,
until he reached the responsible posi
tion of chief clerk of the treasury. He
is a mechanic, bavins served a regular
apprenticeship to a trade. Ho left hi
crative employment to enter the army
and fight for tho defence of his
country, which h did as valiantly as
any man who stood loyally by the old
Hag. When the war was over he re
ceived an appointment unasked, and
has retained his place in the treasury
by force alone of his personal merits.
The same influence his own personal
worth securert him the nomination
for state treasurer. That was sponta
neous, and if ever the oflice sought the
man it did in this case. Mr. Hart was
nominated because he had been tried
and found true in every test applied
to him. He is faithful, competent
and honest.
Wild geese are southward Hying,
but they are few in number compared
with the Oyster voters who will fly to
the polls on election day.
The
Largest Crop or rain
this
Country lias jet Produced.
The grain crop of tho United States
this autumn is a vast increase over that
of any preceding year in the history
of the country. It amounts in the
two principal cereals, wheat and corn,
to 32-",000,0U0 bushels of the former,
and 1,20,000,000 of the latter, accord
ing to the careful estimates of Mr.
Walker, the statistician of tho New
York produce exchange. The move
ment of this enormous crop has just
begun to be felt, as up to the past
eight weeks the expectations were of
last year's crop ; but the sudden in
crease already noted gives good prom
ise of a golden futuro. During the
brief period mentioned our exports of
wheat from the ports of New York,
Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Haiti
more New Orleans and Portland have
aggregated 11,525,187 bushels, against
an exportation from tho same ports
during a corresponding period of last
year of 3,038,951 bushels, showing an
increase of 7,580,238 bushels. There has
also been an increase of 708,235 bushels
in the exportation of rye Jduring the
tunic time,nnd in peas an increase of
18,40!) bushels. In corn alone has there
been a falling offto the extent of 1,
033,054 in that time.
A Traveler Dispatches Two Highway
men.' Cincinnati, October 22. A special
dispatch states that a desperate en
Counter took place on Saturday even
ing at Hlg Clifty, Kentucky, near
Louisville, -between two highwaymen
and Joseph Hansen, a traveling sales
man. Hansen started to walk from
West Clifty to Big Clifty to catch a
train, and was met upon the bridge,
which spans a chasm one hundred and
forty-six feet in depth, by two desper
ate characters who demanded money.
Hensen drew a revolver and shot one
of them, when the other rushed upon
him and attempted to throw him over
the bridge, nut Hansen drew a butcher
knife from his package of samples,
stabbed the robber and succeeded in
throwing him down the chasm and
then escaped to Big Clifty. The rob
bers were arrested, but not recognized
by the people of the place. The one
who was thrown over the bridge was
saved from instant death by falling in
Nolin river, but both men will proba
