Secretaries of agricultural societies often
spend large sums in advertising and putting
forth posters. and at the same time neglect
to send notices of their fairs to the local and
agricultural papers of their state and Vicni'
ty. Generally these papers would be only
too glad to publish notices of the fairs, the
attractions offered, the amount of the pre-
miums, &c, which would be worth good
deal to the societies by way Of bringing their
fairs before the public, while the cost would
be triaing. Our columns, we hardly need
to add, are open for such notices.

1t is amusing to see the theories advanced
by the Poland organs to account for the de-
feat Of their immaculate regular candi-
date. The Monitor believes that he " was
the choice of the majority Of the people, up
to the time of the convention that nominated
him but since that time such extraordinary
efforts have been made to prejudice the
masses against him, that he fails of an cleo
ton" 1t says that all the Steele men were
found fighting Poland, talks about " the
army of disappointed post Office seekers or
post office losers" the opposition Of the do.
mocracy, &C., but its richest joke is the allu-
sion to newspapers. 1t claims the defeat was
accomplished qfter the convention. Now
we can find but one paper in the district,
aside from the democratic papers which feel
in duty bound to oppose a republican nomi-
nee, which has opposed Poland since the
nomination. This formidable array is not
so great as one would suppose after reading
the Monitor. Why not admit the fact that
it was the people that did it

General Grant has made good president,
and done some very creditabe work, but he
has made some mistakes, and one of these
was the signing Of the salary.steal bill.
Grabbers are not being reelected by the
people generally, and if Grant had any as
pirations to third term we mistrust he
signed them away when he put his name to
that bill. Even at this early day some of
the leading party organs are discussing the
probabilities Of third term, but if the re-
publicans make the mistake that they have
just made in the second congressional district
Of Vermont, and nominate a grabber, they
will be likely to meet with about the sa me
success in the presidential election that they
have here. Doubtless the leaders of that
party will know better than to undertake
such thing.

WILLARD AND EDMUNDS.

A correspondent Of The Springfield Repub.
lican suggest that since the surprise party of
the first Of September in this state strange
things are liable to happen, aud says:
Mr.. Willard ought not to have been defeat
cd. He would not bU now, since tho voter
has learned his power. Vermont needs him
Mt Washington; tho country needs him still
more. Stranger things have happened latte
ly than his election to the Senate. Edmunds
has no such hold upon the people OF the state
as Willard. Would you be surprised il Mr.
Willard should be sent to the Senator What
says the independent press of tho country To
the suggestion?
We think the independent press of the
country will say amen. The man who has
voted against and discountenanced every
grab game while in Congress, the man whose
voice has ever been heard IN opposition to
wrong, though popular, and who has ever
been found advocating the cause Of right,
though unpopular, would be the choice Of
the voters rather than a salary grabber, ev-
cry time. 1t was the odious and corrupt
caucus system which prevented Mr.. Wizards
reelection to Congress. We have nothing
to say Of Col. Joyce he may be an ADLER
man than Willard, or he may not, but can
hardly be purer.
We're the choice Of United States sena-
tor to be left to the people, Mr. Elmunds'
connection with the salary grab, and with
the gaglaw which he and Frelinghuyson
pushed 10 the Senate as Poland did in the
House, would insure for him freedom from
the cares aud pcrplexities of political life in
Washington. That choice, however, is left
to the men whom the people have selected as
their legislators in their home government,
and it remains to be seen how well the voters
have succeeded in choosing men who shall
represent their will. The people of this dis.
trict have placed on record their protest on
safeguarding, press-gagging, and similar
corruptions, and we believe the people OF the
whole state would coincide with their views.
