The Whole Thing in n Nut Shell.

All the traditions Of the Democracy
are in favor of constitutional currency
Of gold and silver and of such paper
only as is convertible into coin on de-
mand of the holder. Any other cur
rency, without intrinsic value, used as
a medium of exchange of commodities,
and which depends for its value on
statutory enactmcnts, is liable To Hue
tuations, which are sure Ia rebound Ia
the benefit Of money sharpers and 10
the detriment of the great body of the
people. What the business and indus
trial interests of the country require,
and what they will have il the Demo-
cracy obtain supreme power, is a cur
rency of fixed and permanent value
and which is recognized rs such 10y the
commercial world. Gold and silver
alone answer this description, or a cur
rency at all times convertible into gold
and silver, which is the same thing

The Fair.

Our Fair last Week was not such a
success as we could or would wish for.
The weather from first to last was clear,
bright and pleasant, and theattendance
for the last three days was very large,
but quite small the first two days. The
display of agricultural, domestic and
artistic goods was a total failure, and
the display of stock was very poor. We
are of the opinion that our Fair officers
pay too little attention to agricultural
and domestic productions. The induce
ments should be such rs To have every
farmer, dairyman and poultry raiser in
this county interested; also, to have
strong competition among the ladies
for each and every kind of work made
by them.
We think the premiums offered for
these this year were too little 10 induce
competition. ....f
Weare also Of the opinion That fifteen
per cent entrance fee for exhibiting is
too high. The most successful Fairs of
the State charge exhibitors no entrance
fee at all. This course, together with
liberal premiums, always insures full
rings and stnong competition, and this
strong competition gets up such excite
ment as to always insure large atten-
dance. This large attendance brings IN
the money at the gates and causes
the privileges to restaurants, saloons,
de-, 10 sell much higher. Another
mistake we think our Fair directors
make is holding the Fair five days
Three days, or four at the outside, is suf'
ficient. We are firmly of the opinion
that as many people will visit the
grounds during three days Fair as in
five days Fair, and the receipts at Tho
gates would be fully as heavy for tlres
as for five days, while the expense o.

AT Hancock and English meeting
in Brooklyn last night. the Rev. Henry
A. Powell, of the old Bushwick Dutch
Reformed Church, was introduced as a
recent convert to Democracy, and was
received with hearty cheers. He said
he did not intend to detain the audience
for any length of time, as he hoped to
have the opportunity of addressing
them at length on Friday. He had al
ways voted for and labored with the
Republican party up TO the close of the
Presidential election Of 1876, but the
more he studied the subject the more
firmly he had been convinced that i'm
counting out Mr.. Tlden the Republican
party had been guilty of gigantic fraud.
For that reason, and because the Re
publicans persisted I'm raising the dead
issues Of the war, refusing to allow
them to rest in the graves to which
they had been consigned, he has resolv-
ed upon withdrawing from the party,
and was glad when he foun1 the DEM

man whose patriotism, strict justice and
answering honesty We're such that he
could conscientiously give him his full
support. He intended now to exert
his utmost influence to help secure the
election of Gen. Hancock. Cheers, J.
