County Fair.


advise our citizens to attend the fairs a
Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Manchester
Waterloo, West Union, and all others
that they may be disposed to honor with
their presence, and then come home with
the full determination to make our fail
equal, If not superior in some respects to
all these, and one of the best of the sea
son. Already there is promise of /. full
and satisfactory exhibition in some impor
tant departments. Mr. s. T. Spangle1

and Ephraim Miller will exhibit his herd

the county which will be on exhibition

Floral Hall as they did last year, and we
shall see the best fair ever held in Blu
chanan county, and one not excclled by
any county fair in the State. Bring your
prcium lists with you.
The managers are around looking 'em
up. Jacob Rich was out from Dubuque
last week, and there was meeting in
the Post Office of several of the Sachems,
Mr.. Toman, Mr.. Bemis and one or two
others, after which Rich returned to Du-
buque. Whether affairs are satisfactory
we have not learned Conservative.
The aboye is a specimen of the rubbish
which our contemporary inflicts upon its
readers, upon every recurring visit of Mr..
Rich to our city. That gentleman was
once prominent citizen of our county,
and from his long and intimate associa-
ton with our people, among whom he
counts some of his warmest friends, and
multitude of acquaintance, he natural
ly regards Independence in the light of a
home, and is wont, in the intervals of
business, to come out here from Dubuque
to spend day or two of rest and social
recreation Whenever he does so he at
once becomes subject of espionage to
the editor of the Conservative, who sneak
ingly dogs his footsteps, and if he is
found conversing with certain Republi-
cans, among whom are his political
associates and personal friends for almost
score of years. as he Is very apt to do,
the sneaking scribbler straightway makes
a note of it, and the next issue of his pa
per contains something like the above
impertinent paragraph. Restrained by
fear of personal consequences from caves
dropping, to ascertain the subject of con-
versation in such instances, he does not
hesitate to supply the place of fact with
contemplate inuendoes, as above. Every
reader with the instinct of gentleman,
will know how to characterize this kind of
journalism.
THE COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-Cur space
this week will not permit the publication
of the proceedings of the Republican
county convention in ertenso. We shall
therefore only attempt to give its results.
In the first place the convention with
practical unanimity renominated the old
Clerk and Recorder There was really
no reason why this should not be done,
except upon the plea of rotation in office,
and this the convention seemed to ignore.
Messrs Smith and Hollet are model officers
against whose honor or efficiency not a
breath of suspicion could be raised.
Their election by a large majority is fore
gone conclusion. The candidates for
Supervisors are excellent selections Dr.
House, the first on the list, needs no in
PRODUCTION from us to the people Of the
county, nor any Endorsement of his in
tergrity, good judgment and practical
ability. Of Messrs Foreman and Whit
ncy we do not know SO much personally,
but they were warmly endorsed and sup
ported by their friends i'll the convention,
and will doubtless prove efficient officers.
The delegates elected to attend the
McGregor convention are as follows. d
w. Bruckart, Jas. A. Poor, A. P. Burrhus,
E. P. Brintnall, J. M. Romig, G. NJ Miller,
Hugh Hursey, John Calvin, Jas. Hamil
ton, and j, Il. Cook The County
Central committee to serve the ensuing
year are d. W. Bruckart, c. o. Marsh
and p B. Schemerhorn.
