LETTER FROM

EDITOR SENTINEL: Our city for a
week past has resoundcd with the
notes of the coming State Fair Of 1874.
Merchants, hotel keepers, ct III onsne
gents have rubbed their hands in glee
at the prospective harvest Of ducats.
Since our last Fair the societyhas made
many improvements at the track and
backgrounds. A new grand stand has
been erected of mammoth proportions.
1t is about seven hundred feet long
and will seat between five and six
thousand very comfortably. Addi-
tional stalls and accommodations for
stock have been erected: also, a large
open building for exhibiting agricultu-
raj implements. Heretofore this class
of manufacturers has been exhibit
ed at the Pavilion, a very poor place
for such display. The change has
given universal satisfaction, both to
the manufacturers and this farmers,
since it affords an opportunity OF a
practical test of most all the articles
displayed.
The Fair was opened on the Fair
grounds yesterday at l. o'clsck NJ. by
X. S. Carey, the able and eficic, t
President of the society. The attend
ance was very fair for the first day, be-
tween 1880 and 1000 being present.
The day was a running day" A
change has beer made Al the continued
request of race men, and running and
trotting alternate. Thus all conflict as
to the condition Of the track, ETC., is
obviated. The first race was

Thirty years ago one regular col

few academies opened their doors

here and there were permitted TO
teach little children or new begin

mouth on that subject also, and said

1t was once said by the great edu-
kcator Horace mann LET not woman
step her foot in the Stygian pools OF
polytics."
This great man was just then dis
appointed politician and doubtless
felt himself in a filthy condition as
doubtless politicians, especially candi-
dates often do, and gave out his
warning cry in good faith, honestly
supposing that to be many mans
mind. As IL q contamination that
he could not avoid would soil the
garments of every voter. Need this
be? do we not see good men walk
ing in political rank acting publicly,
voting and receiving votes, through
long life and yet standing before
the world as beacon lights to be fol-
lowed and initiated?

ence of government"

ment with the Anti-Monopoly
Troupe and on Wednesday, Oct. l4th,
entered into business on their own
account.
Why such an agreement was ever
entered into; why eighty thousand
Democrats should consent to surren-
der themselves to few hundred
discontented Republicans and go in
to "a canvass on the basis OF diVis-
ion of the spoils, is something that
we could never endorse or compre-
hend. But they did i. and the re-
suit is shown in the election returns
which we publish.
The Democrat opposed such a coali-
ton, but large msjority of its
friends were carried a.way with the
idea that the Repubiican,party could

cause we could do no better, the
| Democrm accepted Ane- MonQpo-
Iy" for two campaigns. But we
have had enough of it; the election
returns vindicate our judgment and
indicate to US the course we shall in
future pursue.
"Anti-Monopoly" is q dead cock,
it has fought its last battle and only
the trump of Gabriel could awaken
Bit to resurrection. 1t has failed,
niserably failed, of its object; lost
even the small honors won in 1873
and to-day there is none so poor as to
do reverence to its memory.
In such a state of affairs, the duty
of the Democratic party is plain.
Its constituted representatives are
still clothed with all their original
power and the masses demand an lm-
mediate and thorough re-organiza-
ton Of the only party which can
meet the Republicans in a contest
for mastery in National arena.
The masses Of the party are eager
for the reorganization they depiore
the fact that the ANTI Monopoly"
Ticket was unsuccessful, and at the
same time hail the 18th, Of Oct. as
day of Emancipation the events OF
which give them freedom for action
in a field where they will feel at

The Democrats Of Iowa are among
| the most EncomprOmislng Demo
Gratis in the Union. They have en-
countered the prosecutions OF an III
solent majority, and have stood firm
to the faith as given to them by tht
Fathers; yet for two years they
have been cut off from the sympathy
Of Democrats in other states and
forced to wear a garb which neither
fit them well, or was at all comiorta'

has come and henceforth the Demo

Election Notes.

ElcCthOu NOtCSs
The Republican majority in Iowa
is probably about $1,000, instead Of
40, 900 as estimated soon after election.
But that is good enough. Weeouldn't
be greedy enough to ask anything
better.
WASHINGTON COUNTY gave the
Ants over 800 majority last year.
This year it gives 800 the other way.
Lafferty's majority in this, his oppo-
nent's own county, is 4l5.
In APPANoosE COUNTY last year
the Ants had 226 majority; this
year the county goes Republican by
15O., Sampson's majority is l6e.
JASPER COUNTY gives the Repub-
|lican State ticket 9i2 majority, Samp-
son 1911, and Winslow 952. Poor
Gates! SIowest man on his ticket in
his home county.
DAVIS COUNTY gives Republican
majority of. 81 on State ticket. Here
where Sampson was to be SO sorely
slaughtered, as the Anti press told
us, he ran within 45 votes of the
State ticket. Terrible slaughter, in
deed.
The Ants carry about one dozen
counties i'm this State, viz: Alama-
lIkee, Clayton, Dubuque, Fremont,
Jackson, johnson, Lee, Scott, Mono
ma, Wayne, and Webster.
Warren county, Republican by
525. The Tribune pronounces this
"an unusually good year in Iowa for
thieves, salary -grabbers, nest-hiders
and Republicans" Ofcourse it classes
its last years friends who "couldn't
see it" this year, among the thieves.
