Democratic Candidate Cor Congress.
After the democrats of this congression-
al district had held their regular conven-
ton and placed candidate in the field,
and his name has been put on the ticket
and published for weeks in the democratic
papers of the district, it would seem to be
Pentirely needless and uncalled for to have
anything to say about the probability or
the possibility Of his withdrawal. But the
persistent and malicious reports of the op-
ponents of democracy, with whom the wish
is father to the thought, that Hon. Charles
Durham has withdrawn, or intends to
withdraw, or is expected to withdraw from
the ticket, are being industriously clrcnIat.
ed manifestly for the purpose of breaking
the force and detracting from the strength
of his support, and if possible to compass
mis- defeat by creating doubt and distrust
among democrats. To put the matter en-
tirely and at once unequivocally at rest,
zoe take occasion to state toithOut anu re-
serve that Durham is the regularly nomin-
ated democratic candidate for congress in
this district, and that he soiU remain such,
that he has no intention Of withdrawing
from the cGncGss, and that he will labor
for the success of the ticket with his ac-
customed yigor and ability.
We trust the foregoing is plain enough
so that democrats will have no further
fears on account Of stories emanating from
the opposition parties.

A Tri-cisy Exhib,tion.


The fair which occurs at Davenport,
Sept. 2. 8, 4. s, and Z, 1878, will be the
largest ever held and in addition to the
usual attractions, the managers have con-l
cluded to arrange it as an exposition. The
system heretofore has been general ent-
~ from all sections. now, however. there
will be separate department for Rock
Island. one for Moline, and the remaining
portion similarly arranged.
This practically makes it an exposition
of the three cities,and will no doubt largely
increase the attendance from Rock Island
and Moline, as it is intended that these
towns shall t.have q fair representation
The premium list this year is unusually
large, being $4,000, and among the other
features will be the racing, including, q
free for all race, purse $1,000, which will
be competed for by some of the best
trotters in the country. Also, the 2:27.
1882 and 2:48 classes which will be BY
some Of the fastest trotters, purse, $500 10
each class. This, however, is only briei
summary as otherlraces equally interest
| ing will occur at which liberal premiums
will be given. 9e
The display Of farm products will be tbs
largest ever exhibited, while the entries
for horses, bloodsd cattle, short horns. and
all kinds of poultry, hogs, etc.. etc., al
lready is farm excess Of any previous year
The premiums are very liberal and EN-
brace almost everything in the manufac
turers or producers line.
The idea of tri-city exposition Is ney
one, and will undoubtedly draw largel.
from Rock Island, Moline, Geneseo, Cam
bridge, and near towns. The Scott count.
fair has always maintained a reputation
second to no other in the state, and as tn
preparations this year are on a grand scale
and the number of entries nearly doubl
that of preceding years, it is safe to pre-
dict an entire success and ensure thos
who attend an opportunity to witness Al
! exposition unequalled in this or auy othe
6 state.

ed, 10! these many years ago in the
neighborhood Of Richmond. A GER

esteemed for his fine qualities as a
man and renowned for his judgement
Of whiskey and horsefesh, had en-
tered his mare in a race where the
best stock of the country was engaged.
His animal was acknowledged as the
finest trotter in that section-as one
of the finest trotters, in fact, in the
country at that time when Rarus was
an unknown bird-and at the meet
ing bets ran between the assembled
sportingmen-planters, lawyers, and
merchants of Virginia, North Carroll
ma and Tennessee.
The Colonel was ever a heavy bet
ter, and had pledged himself to the
extent Of S25.ooo on his mare. The
morning of the race his jockey came
to him with blanched face and a
cautious, whispering tone of voice:
Col, for Gods sake hedge
while you have time; break my word
with my friends to tell you, but l will
tell you-our mare cannot win the
racel"
