The FuSionists have charged that Gen.
Weaver is using his influence for the Re
publicans and that he has received funds
from the national Republican committee.
This story has been contradictcd tv Mr.
jewell chairman of the national Repub-
lican committee, and by Mr.. Geo. O.
Jones, financial agent Of the Greenback
committee. These charges are now re
iterated in letter from a Mr.. ID. ID. Lum
to Congressman Murch but we don't see
that the matter is of any further conse-
quence, 50 far as Republicans are con
cerned. 1t is simply Greenback family
quarrel, in which their Presidential can
didate is despatched with mud bv mem
bers of his own party.
Since the above was written, Gen,
Weaver has published letter denounc-
ing Lums charges as base tabrications.

The managers of our local fair are en-
titled tomuch credit for securing so many
and such interesting exhibits of our ag-
ricultural and industrial resources as
were to be seen in Haytord Hall and at

many disadvantages, not the least Of
which were the former failures in this d.
rection and the public apathy resulting
therefrom. The attendance was not so
large as we hoped it would be, but if the
society does Us well another year they
may expect u more liberal patronage
We trust by that time they will be able
to return to money premiums, which of
course must furnish an additional in
centive to exhibitors and heIghten the
general interest. The setting apart Of a

think, wise arrangement, and one which
