and deepened, and Captain Cutter, who ia hay
ing this done under bis personal supervision,
IS determined there shall be no scarcity of
good, pure water. The grounds will be sprink-
led every day if necessary, and nothing will be
left undone to promote the comfort and con-
vcnience of visitors. To this end the Captain
has caused to be erected along the various
buildings over ten thousand feet of seats, cap
able of seating 1850 people.
The advanced state of preparation now going
on has already been alluded to. If there be
any default on Monday next in any of the de-
tails, it IS safe to assume it will be the part
OF the exhibitors neglecting to put in their
goods and not on the part of the management.
THE CASE THREsHER.
Among the curiosities which will attract at
tention at the State fair is the Centennial prize
medal Case thresher, which has also been ex-
hibited at tho Paris exposition. This machine
is FROM the j. l. Case works of Racine, and is
exhibited by their agents, Messrs. Tussler,

elaborately finished in all it's parts and is we'll

RAILROAD AND BUS.
General Manager Hill, of the st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba road, has declared his in
tention of furnishing the most liberal railroad
accommodations, and all st. Paul knows he is
the maa to keep his word. To this end he will
run nine trains each way per day, and as many
specials as may be necessary to transport the
crowd. The rates are thirty cents for the round
trip from either st. Paul or Minneapolis. Ar.
ticles for exhibition will be forwarded promptly
and whenever necessary.
John B. Cook will not undertake to buck
against the railroad. but has established his
rates as follows In omnibuses the fare is fixed
at fifty cents for the round trip, or twenty-five
cents each way; in hacks his rates are fixed at
one dollar for the round trip. or fifty cents
each way. These rates are unalterable and un-
changeable as the laws of the Medes or Per-
SLAMS, and Mr.. Cook will be thankful to have
all errors and overoharges reported to him.

flowing are the rates fixed for admis.

The same rates apply to exhibitors, booth
owners aud their employees, who will be re-
quired, if they remain over night on the
grounds, to supply themselves with tickets by
8o'clock each morning. Ticket sellers will be
instructed not to make change for any bill over
$5, and it will be necessary for visitors to
come supplied with small sums.
AUSPICIOUS INDICATIONS.
Such are few of the many inducements Of
fered by the State fair managers. The indi-
cations, as far rs they can be determined at
this time, are highly favorable, and look
auspicious of success. Tho management have
undertaken to give the people State fair in
the true sense Of the word, and it is hoped that
the farmers, we'll as the people at large, will
appreciate their efforts and visit the grounds
in such numbers as will insure success beyond
a question of doubt. Racing inducements
over and above those noted in the regular pro-
gramme will be offered in day or two and, as
before stated, nothing will be left undone
which will promote the success of the enter
prise or enure to the comfort and enjoyment of
the visitors. Entries of all kinds are pouring
in rapidly, and it would be no exaggeration to
say that several hundred more will come in in
the next two days.

The Fall Trade.

The prospects for the coming fall trade,
which are near at hand, are better than have
been know since 1871. Those of the leading
jobbers, who had confidence in the opinion
expressed in the Traveller, some three months
since, that the tide had turned, have used
their belief to advantage, in stocking largely
for the fall trade, which is the most import
ant of the two seasons, at prices much below
present values. The leading wholesale cloth
ing houses, acting upon the same principle,
have stocked at least ninety days ahead,
which is making lively times for the manu-
facturcrs, whose casual orders are accumu-
lating rapidly.
The advance in manufactured goods, which
has not heretofore kept pace with the advance
of prices for the raw material, has taken an
impetus, which, though not equal as yet, is fast
approaching it. In wooden goods particularly
is this-notceable. The commission houses for
the sale of fannes decline to-day to sell any
material under thirty cents, except at value
at time of delivery. What stock they have
in hand they will sell, but nothing beyond.
In connection with fannes it may be well to
remark that in certain lines there has been an
advance since March of nearly seven cents,
which is almost unprecedented.
In cotton goods the market shows nearly
the same frmness, and manufacturers are
confident of an advance in proportion to the
advance cost of raw material.
The boot and shoe dealers and manufac-
tnrers are confident in regard to the future
The experience of the past few days has con-
frmed them in the belief that prosperity has
fairly begun, and that the errors of the past
are not to be repeated Boston Trareiier.

Cheering Business Prospects.

The Maine Standard and other soft mon-
ey fusion organs sheer at every indication
Of reviving business and discourage all at
tempts at Improvement, but the truth is at
last forcing its way among democratic or
gans. We find in that staunch democratic
paper, the Lewiston Gazette, the follow
ing article which is likewise credited to
another democratic organ. the Boston
Post. This testimony ought to be received
even in democratic quarters with some re-
spect.
There is no further room TO question that
the tide has fairly turned and business is i'm
proving at a a steady and, encouraging pace.
The worst is over; the lowest prices have
been reached; labor is redistributing its
forces according to the demand; capital long
idle is beginning to come out and confidence
and courage are taking the place of depres-
sion and apprehension. This time, too. the
better time has come back to stay. The boot
and shoe market of Boston exhibits unusual
activity, buyers being on the ground in great
er force than for many years. Mannfactur-
ing establishments are running again on in
creasing orders and on full time. The glut
Of labor, caused by the prolonged stagnation,
has been relieved by transfer of the surplus
10 the West, and unemployed labor here
stands better chance for that reason. And
as a consequence, the increased demand for
manufactured products in the interior of the
country is bringing up manufacturing work
TO full employment again, while the thinncd
ranks of laborers are all the surer of finding
immediate and abundant work Throughout
the manufacturing districts of New England.
as well as In Pennsylvania, the same reports
of satisfactory revival of industry are to be
met with. The cotton mills are calling in
their operatives; the foundries and machine
shops are hives of industry, working general
~ on full time and turning out large amount
of machinery; while the shoe factories are
right in the midst of harvest.

Greenback County Convention.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Journal BY the
earnest request of many greenbackers, | re-
specially ask you to publish the following in
relation to our county convention to be held
at Gardiner on the 2sth inst
1t appears by the call published in Mr.
Whites official organ, the National Tribune,
that 207 delegates have been apportioned to
the cities, towns and one plantation in the
county, % in number. There were thrown
in the county last year for Smith 1882 votes
This number divided by 207 would give one
delegate to every IL voters within fraction ;
and this is the correct and only basis follow ed
by any party.
Upon this basis. Gardiner, which cast 800
grcenback votes, would be entitled to - dele
gates, and the city of Augusta to II only
But strange rs it may seem, we find
the terms of this MONsTRosIrY designat-
ed call, apportion - delegates to Au-
gusta, and only - TO Gardiner, notwithstand-
ing Gardiner east $50 votes against $50 in
Augusta This is not an outrage upon Gar
diner alone, for more than one-half of the
towns in the county suffer by this gerrymand-
ering performance of our selt-constituted
leader. Ii will be found in September that
the greenbackcrs are not so easily bamboo
zed
1t is said that Charles A. White had hand
in this business, but how much or how little he
managed his man {. =. Downing, whom he
placed on the committee last year for future
use, is known only to the few, of course
Through the chairman of the committee
Charley no doubt thought he could nuke a
good point for brother James, who
wants to be Senator, by DISTINGUISHING
in part our greonbackcrs In this city
which are not considered exactly sound on
the goose. For some time il has been whis
pered around that the Whites were pulling
together that Charles A. would pull brother
James into the Senate. and brother James
would pull brother Charles into Congress.
The basis of the county convention was
probably gotten up on this idea with the aid
of chairman and long haired Bac ,hanaian
babbler considerable might be accomplished
in convention. But it remains to be seen
how much can be made by giving two votes
to Augusta to one to Gardiner on the idea
that brother James can gobble the 81 Angus
Ia delegates and vote down the - incorrig-
blcs at home. The grccnbackers who do NJ t
hold or desire office will not vote for cand-
dates nominated by packed conventions and
brothers Charles and James had better take
notice. GREFNBACKER.
