As we supposed he would do, we find
from the morning papers, the Secretary of
the State Agricultural Fair, furnished aH
the papers with a list of premiums which
had been awarded by the different commit
tees. The list was given to the morning
papers within an hour after we had asked
for them; and if it is any qualification to the
Secretary to know that we were dcbarred
their publication first, we trust he is satis-
fed.
Yesterday afternoon, after the weather
had cleared up, quite crowd visited the

1t is shame and disgrace to great
State Fair to have these infamous swindlers
and their establishments attracting the at
tention of large majority of the people on
the grounds, by means Of tempting displays
of money, &c. Let it be stopped at once,
or our fairs will become .eer and by-word,
and will soon be regarded as the endorser

Mr.. Nye's "NeW Departure"

Last week we published A. III
Nye's announcement as an indepen'
dent candidate for Supt. of Common
Schools In the county. We also gave
space to a communication from O
citizen of the county endorsing him
for the Office. While we did not APP
prove the action of Mr.. Nye in ap
pealing from the Convention to the
people, we were willing to allow
him the privilege of hearing, and
free field at the start, regardless o.
what his future success might be-
But since our last issue, he has taken
a "new departure" and not only al
lowed himself to become the nominee
on the Democratic ticket, but went
In person before the Convention and
pledged his vote and support of the
entire ticket.
We believe there is passage oil
scripture somewhere in the Bible
which says: 1.-THE zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up" This has
found an application in the position
of Mr.. Nye. He has allowed his de-
sire for the office to run away with
his better judgment, and his position
before the county to-day is excruti'
atingly ludicrous. If there were
Republicans in the county before
who felt inclined to give him theil
support, they cannot do it now. We
have felt from the start that to run
as an independent candidate was
madness, but to take the course thai
he did last Saturday, and sacrifice
principle for the hope of position
is much worse. Mr.. Nye had fail
expression of the wishes of the peo
pie at the Convention. He should
have quietly submitted to fate's stern
decree, and thus saved himself the
odium which now attaches to him, {
traitor to his party.
