The LeavenForlh Bulletin and Topeka
Tribune say we have become converted to
Lane. We suppose they say SO because We
abide the decision Of the majority at the
last State Convention. That Convention
was one of the people. Every district 10
the Stale was represented. Their action is
binding upon the Republican party. There
is but two things to do. Either abide its
action or bolt. We chose to take the for
mer course. Hence, in the estimation of
these papers and others in the State, we
have become converted to Lane. The Con
vention was composed largely of auti-Lane
men. The leaders of the anti-Lane party
took an active part in its proceedings.
and it is not in very good taste for them,
because they could not control that COnvsn-
ton, to try to get up a split in the party.
The so called leaders of the anti Lane par
ty are responsible for the reaction of pub
lie opinion in the State in favor of Lane.
Had il not been for their hoggIsh hurry to
get possession of the State patronage, ia
our opinion Lane would not have carried
that Convention. 1t does not look well for
those who have run the anti Lane party in
the ground by advocating measures mean
Ell than Lane ever attempted, to be reading
men out of the anti Lane party. Perhaps
you will make it pay, though. For our
part, we always propose to abide the decis-
ion Of the majority of the party we beloRg
to, so long as it does not commit outrages
on the rights OF the people, aud carries out
the main objects which we are working for
the death Of slavery and the downfall of
traitors. We are fighting for principle. and
do not allow our hatred of one man to drive
US from our party.

THE FAIR-A mechanic asks if the
Board of Directors of the Agricultural So
cieLy are going to allow Eastern made work,
such as piows wagons, etc. TO compete with
home. made work at our Fair? It seems
to Us they certainly ought not to Go So
An agricultural implement or any other ar
ticle manufactured In Ohio or Illinois ought
not to be allowed to compete for premium
with the same articles manufactured in this
country. Our mechanics have neither the
facilities nor the raw materials to compete
with Eastern shops. OF course We would
not shut out all. We only speak of those
coming in competition with our own work
shops. The Fair is to benefit our own in
dustrisl interests first.
A farmer says he paid dollar last year
to become member of the Agricultural
Society, and sees nothing ia the Regulations
by which he has any privileges above those
who do not belong to the Society. He wants
to know, if he has the same fees to pay
what benefit it is to him to belong to the
Society?
Next Saturday, the Sd, the Board meets
in this place, and we mention these things
t. call their attention to them. We have
no doubt but that the Board will rectify all
these little matters so far as lies in their
power, and all who have suggestions to
make, should make them at that time. Ev-
cry wel-wisher fer the best interests of the
county should do all in his power to make
the Fair a complete success.
