Sixth Day.

Although yesterday was the last day OF the
gala week We discovered no sign of any fall
ing of in the interest manifested in the Fair.
Notwithstanding the immense crowds OF yisi-
tors that did their sightseeing on Thursday
and Friday. yesterday found a crowd on the
ground as large, apparently, as the immense
one of Thursday. All day long the cattle,
the horses, the sheep, the poultry, the swine.
the implements, the machinery, the grain,
the vegetables, the manufactures, the fruit,
the flowers, and all the other enumerated
and nou-enumerated elements that combine
70 make the grand aggregate Of the magni6-
cent exposition, have caused an ebb and fow
Of . vast stream Of people. The oft quoted
remark, "Peace has her victories no less re-
aowned than War;" loo.es all its tritenese
~hen uttered on the Fair grounds, and the
shoughtful spectator of all the evidences Of
The thrift. plenty and prosperity there dis
played in such profusion, feels his heart stir
for the time when all the nations shall learn
Of war no more and the blessed thousand
yeau of peace shall have full sway in the
world.
Yes. yesterday was big day in every ne
spect. Everywhere throughout the enclosure
the crowd Vas to be seen YEARLY Plodding
about viewing the the immense articles on
exhibition, and the halls were literally
packed with surgine mass Of humanity.
The weather vas ali that could be desired,
and the cool bracing air h,d . pleasant
smack of autumn about It At mon the
ssea was particularly animated. Hundreds
of people from the country had hitehed their
teams to the inside of the long line Of fence,
and, seated on the grass, were engaged in
putting the provisions where they would ''do

THE KEPURLICAN COUNTY CON
MIrGEE

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON
MIrGEE
Ne. on Tuesday, at Wolfs Hall. The re-
suit of their deliberations will be found in
the call for a county convention to beld on
Saturday the eth inst. The proceedings of
the committee were characterized BY desire
to act Justly and wisely.
A resolution Was offered requesting the
primary meetings to instruc. their delegates
TO vote rira roce in the nomination OF candi-
dates We were pleased to hear that Creigh-
ton and Darling voted for the resolution,
and sorry that Fen,on, Hiatt and johnson
voted sainst it. The right Of the individ-
ual TO cast secret ballot at an election ia
conceded, but any delegated power ought al
ways TO be used openly in order that the
constituents may know how the agent
performs his duty. However as We have
said the committee acted very wisely, and
this action will be approved by the Repub-
licans OF the county.

Railroad men and iron dealers can asccr-
tain the number of tons OF rail. 10 mile by
a simple calculation. By multiplying the
weight of the rail per yard by II and divid-

to Law one mile Of track Is correctly and
quickly secured. Asan example. take rail

Just before the adjournment Of the House of
Representatives yesterday the Salary bill was
recommitted to the special committee Of which
Mr., Hale, of Maine. is the Chairman, and they
will probably report bill fixing the salaries of
members of Congress at S., 500 and actual ex-
penses incurred in arriving to and going from
session of Congress, but leaving untouched the
salaries of the President and Justice of the
Supreme Court. Judging from the sentiments
expressed in the debate thus far on the salary
grab, this bill will not be adopted.

The mass meeting Of workmeu, held at Gin
cinusti on Saturday, adopted resolutions quite
as ultra and agrarian in spirit as those recently
put forth by the New York meeting. They
assert that it is the duty of the city authorities
to give employment on the eight hour system
to all working men out of work at $3.50 per
day, and that any government that does not
fulfil this, its first duty, must be overthrow
