Mr.. VAN ORsDoL, being occupied last
Sunday in the arduous task of e fixing
that thing up, and manipulating Losurc
to proclaim himself falsifer in order
to, if possible, save the Sheriff from de-
feat, had to postpone his devotions until
the next day. On Monday evening he
was on his knees -metaphorically speak
ing-before a number of Democrats,
praying Justify for help. Those who
were present say that the fervor of his
supplications left no doubt of his dire
sful exigency.

that he would do even better now.

THE paper across the way feels called
upon, by the exigencies of it's candi-
dates in this campaign, to make show
of accepting our challenge of last week,
and attempts to put up" on the county
salary and assessment issue, but it is a
sorry put up" What purports to be
argument in it's turgid column article is
the merest sophistry and appeal to class
prejudices, and it's pretended facts are
just the opposite. It's thin mass of YER
biage upon the salary matter amounts
to bosh, for the reason that it fails to
controvert the fact established by the
BULLETIN, that, with all the buster of
the demagogues, the expenses of the
county on accoont of salaries will not
be one cent more than last year. It's
splcnetic complaint about the raising of
the assessments is no better, for it ig-
nores the necessity for raising more rev.
enHe to meet the county indebtedness,
the greater part of which Indebtedness
the Board was not responsible for. 1t
does not say how it would have provided
for the debt, but leaves it to be inferred
that it would have it repudiated out
right. How do the people of the county
relish that programme? 1t cannot re-
frain, of course, from that pettifoggine
plea that there are men in the county
who would be glad to do the business of
the county for less than the salary al
lowed by law. We have not heard that
any of it's candidates have made pledge
of that kind, and if they should, and
were elected on such pledge, the
courts would prevent them from taking
the Offices, on the ground that they had
secured the election by bribing the cleo
tors. The best answer we have heard to
this kind of demagoguism, was the re-
mark made by shrewd old Greenback-
err, the other day, to knot of his party
friends, who were discussing the salary
question, in answer to the suggestion
that men stood ready totake the offices
on salary of 5000 year. The old man
said Boys, let's have rest on that
kind of nonsense. don't want any OF
your $500 men. It's my experience that
officials of that sort are dear at any
price"

THE organ of cussedness across the
way makes the charge that Mr. Hale has
farmed out every deputyship in the
county, providing he is elected" Let
us compare the candidates in that re-
gard. In the case Of Mr.. Hale the as
sertion is made out of pure partisan
ship and from source that has been
frequently convicted of falsehood. In
the case of Mr. Van Orsdol the charge
is admitted in the two last issues of
the organ. In other words one is ma
licious charge not proven, and the other
is free confession.

The County Fair.

The press of other matters, pertain
ing to the political canvass, prccludes
extended notice of our County Fair this
week. 1t is enough now to say that,
notwithstanding it's unpropitious open
ing in rain and frost, it has proved the
finest fair, by all odds, ever held in this
county, finer and more satisfactory in
some of its departments than either the
Dubuque or State Fair, and every way
gratifying to its promoters. The show
of stock is especially fine, vegetables
and grains are. also full and excellent
and the Floral Hall is a perfect laby-
rinth of beauty and ingenuity.
The military features of the Fair, ex-
cept that the rain in the early part of
the week prevented some companies
from coming that had intended to come
was a splendid and interesting adjunct
There were four companies present, as
follows: Co. A, 1st Reg, of Vinton
Capt. j. p. Matthews; Co. II, 1st Reg
of Paris, Linn Co., Captain E. B. Town
send; Co. &C, 4th Reg, of Manchester, I'd
Lieut.. H. S. Lilliger in command, and
Co. H, 4th Reg, of this city, Capt. F. G.
Merrill, the whole under the command
of Col. c. V. Mount, of the 1st Regi-
ment, assisted by Adjutant Geo Knapp
and Sergeant major Geo. Traer, of the
same Regiment. The dress parade of
Thursday, showed the companies off tc
good advantage, and the competitive
drill on Friday at the Fair grounds mo-
nopolized the attention of the crowd
The first prize was taken by the Vintor
company, who, by their soldierly bear
ing and precision of their movements
won the admiration of all who witness
ed the drill. The Guards, of this city
came in for the second prize, and also
for much and warm praise for the prof
cheney shown after such brief train
ing. The Paris company took the thirc
prize, and attracted attention by the ex
cellence of their maneuvrcs. This com
pany has excellent material ands some
respects was superior to all the others
This part of the programme passed of
with much good feeling, and the soldier
boys fraternized at a military ball giver
by the Independence Guards the same
evening.

THE Conservative is calling upon the
Democrats to vote the Greenback ticket
While it is doing this, Democrats of
prominence and influence, and some re-
gard for consistency and principle are
fiercely damning the Conservative as
traitorous to the party, and it's editor as
mercenary trafficker for spoils. With
truth they assert that the present con
dition of their party in this county, be-
ing newer of wood and drawer Of wa
ter to every crazy political combination
that may be gotten up to manage cam
paign or two, is wholly due to the weak
ness and selfshness of their pulpy ant
lackasidaical newspaper organ, which
has only sense enough to go wrong and
that continually.
