PLATTEyILIE FAIR We attended |
the first annual Fair.of the Platterille
Ag. Society last..weeK ard during
our stay we took notes OF the arti~ |
cles mainly on exhibition, the same
handed to Mr.. Riudlaub for pubica-
ton in the lFitneSS-it appearing
more appropriate that such matter
appear in that paper. The Fair was
largely patronized by numbers, and
the entries were indeed large beyond |
precedent for local Fair The de-
partments OF sheep and swine fell
short of cattle and horses, over full
OF Implements full Of farm stufls,
full CT manufactures, tolerable in
the fine arts-ineluding products Of
female industry, paintings, flower
work, &c, the show was large The
Fairswas a great success. Weather
fine.
WARNER FOR SUPERVISOR. Jared
| Warner is the Republican candidate
for Supervisor in the Fifth Assembly
District Few men in the county
have had more experience in county
business than Warner Though ads
vanced in life, he is progressive and
| public spirited, and we think fully up
to the times in fayoring sound and
substantial public improvements
The bridges contemplated be would
build TO stand, at whatever cost, in
stead Of the rickety crossings erected
by former Boards which fell before
the Goods as spider webs 10 bridge
substantially the great thoroughfares
OF Grant county is the true issue in
the election Of Supervisors.
PERsoNAL-Esqr Burr has returns
ed from New York city with IL large
stock of goods. He reports that stat
safe for Grant, even though the city
give $4,000 majority fer Seymour
the country being able to over come
any city majority that is probable, /
including an enormous fraudulent
vote. 1t has also been perceived
that the votes on cars and places of
public assemblage show stronger for
Grant than previous to the late cleo
tions in Ohio and other States The
people are furious with election ex>
element in some parts.
The ISSUE FOR AssEMBLYMEN-A
vote for any democratic candidate for |
the Assembly is vote for Doolittle, |
that party designing his reelection |
over any republican. We can surely |
carry three of the Assembly districts
in Grant County, quite likely four
and possibility for the carrying all |
five districts The Potosi district |
will need every republican vote to +
elect Brock, but if our men go to I
work now and raise no side issue his
election can hardly fail
Brock ron THE AssEMBLY.-At the
Second Assembly District Conven-
ton, held the other day at Dickey-
vile, Capt. G. IL. Brock, of Potosi,
was nominated for the Assembly,
Capt. b. is a young man, of proper ,,
habits, capable and worthy. The
District is evenly divided democracy !
rother in the aseendent, but Capt. B.
may win.
MCCARTNEY FOR THE ASSEMBLY, !
The Fifth Assembly District Con-
vention, held AZ Bloomington, nomi-
mated A. r. Mccartney for the AS
sembly-N. W. Kendall declining the
use Of his name for recollection. Nc
Cartney is gentleman Of unques- /
toned integrity and excellency, and
will aim to act squarely aud vote
properly.
sag seymour and Blair VIII prob !

National Committee, telegraph from !
New York, thai there is no author /,
ity or possibility to change front
AiLour friends.cons4der it totally inn
praetable, and eqniyilant to disband-
