THE EBELMoNr COUNTY FAIR.
Fine Weafher-Large Crowds
Splendid DisPlay-Grand
Success


Old Prubs. acted most gslIantly hast week.
Never were days more bright and cloudless
than the three days on which was held the
Belmont County Fair, and none appreciated
The situation more than the immense throOg
which visited the exhibition. The managers
who spared no pains TO make the finest ex-
hibition ever held on the grounds were re-
wareed most richly, as it was generally con-
ceded by those in the habit of attending fairs
In former years that, IS a whole, the exhibi-
ton was superior TO that of any previous year.
A stroll through the grounds on the first day
showed that those present were chiefly ex'
hibitors and that nearly all the available space
had been taken; and by the way, noticeable
feature this year was the neat arrangements ct
the various exhibits, even of articles OF the
commonest character 50 that if visitors were
not attracted by the matter displayed, they
were by the manner of their display. On the
second day their were probably 9, 500 to 5000
people on the grounds, but the crowning at
tendance was on the last day when 6,0OO or
7,OOo Of the best, looking, best behaved peo'
pie, and prettiest ladies that ever gathered on
any grounds were present. 1t was grand
gala day for the st Glairsville Fair Every
body was happy and the pleasures of the day,
were net marred save by some slight &C
cidents caused by q team running away.
We have net space to enter into minute
description of all the exhibits, but must con
tent ourselves by giving the number entered

Then and Now.

In accepting the nomination of Vice
President upon the Democratic ticket
in 1876, Thomas A Hendricks said:
COLD and silver are the real standard of
values, and our national currency will not
be perfect medium of exchange until it
shall be convertible at the pleasure OF the
holder. The determination Of the Demo-
cratic party on this subject has now been
distinctly declared. There should be no
hindrances put in the way OF return to
specie payments.
He now, under the education Of two
years, has swallowed the "Ohio idee,"
indorses Dan VOORHEES,, and makes
about the clearest double back somer-

Democratic Talk about Congressman

The Jefferson Banner struck out
boldly Last week In behalf Of the nomi-
nation of a candidate from this. county
By the Democratic congressional con-
vention. 1t said:
1t is \ fOregOne conclusion that the Re-
publicans will nominate Mr.. Caswell and
the conviction is quite general throug bout
the distric, that he can be defeated only by
Il candidate wto i'll draw the largest pos
IDLE vote IN jefferson county. 1t is quite
apparent that to get that vote he candidate
should be located in this county aud there
is growing disposition in all parts OF the
district 10 that end. This being the case
the democracy OF this county should settle
upon one of their representative men to be
presented as their candidate to the con.
gressional convention. He should be u
man = no is competent 10 fill the position,
and ~ ho can draw the largest possible vote
in the county. Having settled upon the
man. tbs delegates from Jefferson county
to the congressional convention should be
selected with view Of urging his nomin
ton upon the convention.
1t is not clear ia whose interest the
Banner is woIking-whether for its
late editor, Geo w. Bird, or that 9th.
er a.pirant for congressional honors,
Senator Reed. Possibly it may have
some other gentlemen in view, but
We presume not. The possibility, we
may say probability. that the Demo-
Gratis will take their nominee from
Jefferson county. would seem to con-
vey hint to the Republicans who
should bear il in mind when they
come to selec. their standard bearer for
the campaign.

A Feast of Crow.
The Democrats in the First distric

The Democrats in the First district
have endorsed the nomination of Chas.

for Congress, and the swearing Of Tour

pared to that which is now going on

Democracy who have been invited to
this feast Of crow by the "polcy men"
The vote in convention was close,
Parker receiving Ii votes to IL against
him. The nominee was Republican
formerly, but last ainter was elected
to the Legislature as Greenbacker.
He affiliated with the Democrats, it
being then understood that he was to
be paid off with congressional nomi-
nation this fall, as he has been. Thus
it is that the Democrats are flying as a
tail to the Greenback kite. 1t is very
probable that the same combination
will be formed in this district, and the
two parties support Tenncy, the green
back nominee How proud the Dem
ocra.ic party must be of the record
it is making for itself.

SAYS the Madison Democrat:

You are exactly right, neighbor, 'nine-
ty-nine out Of every hundred Democrats
will go into the ranks OF an honest money
party wherever found" The democratic
party never had higher or more honor
able principle nailed to its standard than
the doctrine that every dollar of paper
currency put in circulation must be con-
vertible into gold or silver-dollar for
dollar at the mercy Of the holder. We
have no fight to make with those who
believe that national banks should be
abolished; we have never been able to
see..any advantage in it; but we insist
that the paper currency, whether 1t be
greenbacks or national bank bills shall be
redeemable by the party issuing it; be it
government or bankers; at the pleasure
of the holder in coin. We repeat, to
''plunge the country again into an intiat-
ed and irredeemable paper currency is
base treason. The disasters of the past
seven or eight years owe their iorigin to
an inflated and irredeemable currency
and no "military necessity now exists
for wreCklesSness Of this kind.
We shall see whether the views of
the two Democrats-that of Madison
and that of Watertown-are embodied
in. the. platform of their party at its
congressional convention, or not. And
we shall wait anxiously to see what the
two Democrats will do about it if the
convention is e "ragbaby'' affair, and
dominates "ragbaby' candidate.
A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writing from Sank county a
few days since, urging that the next
Republican candidate for congress in
this district should be taken from that
county, claims that ':the Republicans
of Sank carried Mr. Caswell through
both campaigns" A glance at the
figures fails to confirm this statement.
Sank county is usually good for not
less than 1900 Rep. majority. In
1872 it gave G. w. Hazleton 1913
majority. But in 1874 it gave Cas-
we'll only $50 majority. We have al
ways supposed that Caswell was "car-
ried through" that year by Jefferson
county, and, we think on reflection that
the TriJune's correspondent will ad
nit such to TIC the fact. The average
Democratic majority in this county
that year was over 1900, but Caswell
was only 2S6 behind Cook. AS Cas-
wells majority ip the district was but
2l7, it can easily be seen where he
would have been if Jefferson county
had not whitfield the Democratic ma
jority down almost to zero. But We
do not wish to speak disparsgingly of
our Sank county brethren whose re.
publicanism is Of the first water, and
whose splendid efforts two years ago in
behalf Of Caswell have never been. and
will not be forgotten. Mr.. Caswell
and his friends are not unmiudful OF
all this, and will never fail to requite
the favor to the fullest extent.
