James X. Ryder Cant Be Beaten.

There is not the least doubt that James
Ryder can be defeated for the senatorship
in this district if those who are opposed to
him give the matter proper attention. We
are aware the democratic ma orty is very
large, but there is not single voting pre-
cinct in the district where Ryder will not
run behind his ticket In his own village
and town, there are no: less than 100 Demo-
Gratis who will vote against him. Ger
tainly man so unpopular where he is best
known has little claim upon the people
elsewhere for support. In the first place
he is VIGOROUSLY incompetent for the posi-
ton. The letter we published last week,
written by him, shows how deficient he is
in the simplest rudiments of learning. A
man who murders the Kings English like
that ssdoes not know enough to know" how
to properly and intelligently discharge the
duties of state senator. Personally we have
no feeling towards Mr.. Ryder, but it is only
fair that the voters Of the di strict Cor IDEAS
trict" as Mr.. Ryder spells it,) should under
stand what manner of man they are called
upon to elect to this high and responsible
position. They respectfully (or as Ryder
would say 'Respct fly insist upon being
represented in the legislature by person
who will reflect some sort of credit upon
himself and his constituency. That Mr.
Ryder cannot do this they very we'll know
Aside from his acknowledged un6tness the
! means employed to secure his nomination
were unfair, caucuses having been packed
in his behalf, and delega ties bought and sold
like sheep in the shambles. For this reason
he will be bolted by Democrats every here,
who feel less hestancy in opposing him
than they would had'no Ryder himself bolt
ed the Democratic ticket in 1870, and run
in opposition to the regular nominee for
senator. Ryder's nomination having been
procured by frauds in the primary meetings.

Railway Collision.

About o'clock last Thursday morning
a collision occurred at theJ unction betwe ca
the accommodation train going south on the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway and a
freight train going east on the Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railway. The result was the
throwing of two of the Northwestern cars
from the track and the disabling of the St.
Paul engine in all causing conside rable
damage. Wouldn't this appear to be an
other urgent demand for fagman at this
important point on these two roads?

for boiling, as already shown, there is no
obligation resting upon true Democrats to
support him now. And hundreds Of them
are determined to oppose him for the reasons
just stated and because they know that he
will be acypher in legislation if elected by
reason Of his ignorance and incomptency
All that Republicans have to do 10 compass
his defeat is to put a strong and popular

Secretary Sherman 10 his recent Toledo
speech admits that silver is the best money
for the market and for shopping purposes
but is not disposed TO allow it an equal
place with gold as the measure of value.
Somehow the Secretary would like to
arrange so that the monied interests and
large financial transactions of the country
could be based upon gold, the lesser and
commoner transactions Of business be
made in silver, while paper should be the
money for the laboriDg class. He does
not say so as direct proposition, but the
result of his scheme would be to produce
such result. Sherman is not at all re-
liable as fnancier. All along he was
opposed to the reconciliation of silver
and brought every influence to bear even
to getting the president to interpose a veto
IN order to prevent it, but now since the
law IS in operation aud it's beneficial effects
are becoming apparent the Secretary ad.
mits it was good measure The proba-
biIl.ies are equally great that he and his
class Of 6nanciers will have occasion when
the money Of the country shall have been
brought to nearly or quite uniform value,
and unlimited coinage Of silver as we'll as
gold shall be allowed, and when there will
not be one kind Of money for capitalists
and another for the rest of the people, thai
the Secretary will have another change o.
views, and will be as ready to admit thu
benefits Of such legislation as he now is il
regard to reconciliation. The secretary
has large versatility Of talent, but his bes
characteristic is in claiming everything
good as emanating for himself aud part,
aud everything of evil as belonging to thei
opponents. The people don't see it tn
same way. r.

A Large Att, nGance, Pine Display
Etc.

The second annual fair of the Coe Agri-
cultural Association opened Wednesday,
Aug. rs, and closed Friday, Aug. 30th.
The fair was largely attended, especially
on the second and third days and the exerci-
SEES were OF varied and interesting nature.
This association, although holding only its
second fair, has among its members num-
Der who were active members of the Coe
and Canoe Greek Association. 10 fact the
Coe Association is an offshoot from the
older society. The reason for separation
is about as follows: There were a large
number of members of the old society
who found IL very inconvenient to attend
especially from Port Byron, on account of
the situation, it being considered as not
central and difficult to reach. At the
meeting last year, before the fair was held,
application was made by some members TO
hold the fair at some point nearer 20 Port
BvrOu, and by majority vote of those
present the change YVES ordered, but at
subsequent meeting, this action was re-
versed, the minutes of the previous meet
ing rejected and the fair ordered for the
same grounds as heretotore-near Hills
dale. This caused the disruption of the
society or rather the formation of what
was known as the Coe Association, The
old society still exists, however, so that
instead of one there are two distinct or
CARNATIONS, and good deal of friendly
rivalry as to who shall make the best dis
play. 1t is sight worth seeing, this
miDgling together of the husbandry in
landablo competition as was the case ut,
the fair just held. You will see the
farmer who has a fine colt, who
has labored hard to bring it
to condition presentabIe for premium,
then you will hear his neighbor, with an
other. each:tell how much better hissan-
imal is than the other one, and then the
judges step is as meditatOrs, and no mat
ter who gets the blue ribbon, there is
sileut wOnderment on the part of one aud
unallOyed triumph with the other, Tor il
there is anything farmer takes pride In
