wagon was the Erie TorsiOn spring,

fitted with a spring, which pre-

Last Saturday evening there was
a gathering Of Democrats at the
Court Room. The regular speak
ers we're discarded, and various
citizens were called upon for re-
marks. An invitation was extend
ed to Capt. Bates to make a few
remarks; the Capt. complied, and
after returning thanks, stated that
he was a Gree nbacker. He went
for the Republicans quite lively
exploded some of the their stock
rguments-especially concerning
the solid south. He denied that
the Republicans had freed the slaves
as q policy on their part, and gave
gave his reasons. The Capt. spoke
a little concerning the action OF the
Democrats in refusing to retire the
ereenbacks and for remonitiz-
ing silver. He thought both
measures commendable.

The County Fair.

Considering the short motto,
given, only two weeks, the exhi
bits at the Alpena County Agri
cultural Fair, on the 7th and Sth
were very creditable. The dis
play of vegetables, while not as
large as last year, was fully equal
in quality to any ever exhibited,
and, indeed, it would be difficult to
find anywhere finer samples OF
vegetables. The grain department
contained many samples of wheat,
oats, etc.
The fruit exhibit was the largest
and finest ever shown in Alpena,
consisting OF grapes, peaches, plums,
apples, pears and various kinds OF
crab-apples. James Farriar, be-
sides bis fine exhibit Of plums,
peaches, grapes, etc., had the fol-
lowing varieties Of apples, in adj
dition to some others: Wagner,
Maiden's Blush, Duchess of Olden-
burg, Culberts, also three kinds of
crab apples. James A. Case ex-
hibited some choice pears that at
tracted much attention. James B.
White exhibited peaches, and BENZ.
King some fine grapes.
In the art department, there
were many fine specimens Of needle
work, photographs, etc, and many
beautiful varieties Of flowers. taste
fully arranged, were on exhibition.
Inside the building were dis
plays by the following merchan-
tile houses: The New York One
Price Clothing store was repre-
sented by o fine assortment of
ready made clothing, all neatly ar
ranged. s. A. L. Warner had fine
display of fancy goods. Shannon
& Co. were represented by a good
and attractive display Of furniture
and undertaking goods. Robt.
Stone had an exhibit Of musical
instruments, etc. p. Foley and
]. Kesten had both fine displays Of
bakers goods. The display OF
boots and shoes by Masters d Fol-
kerts was an excellent one, and so
was the exhibit of harness by z.
Hutton. The hardware business
was represented by Johnston Ham
ilton, and the butcher business was
represented by VIM. Gavigan who
had a very attractive display Of
dressed meats.
Outside the building were some
exhibits Of wagons, cutters, and
farm implements that attracted
much attention and elected much
praise-sll being Of home manu-
facture.

thems distributed throughout the
county, for the reason that they
contained political matter and an
advertisement of one of our leading
grocerymen. The Affair created
some little excitement at first, but
az the circumstances became known,
the more honest and fair minded
portion ofthe Republicans condemn
ed the course of those Of a more
radical nature.
The facts in the matter are these /:
We were handed the Special List
OF Premiums at a late hour, and in
formed that number of copies
were wanted for circulation through
the county. The list was set up
and we informed the President of
the Society that we were so over
crowded with work that we could
not get him out list in time for
distribution. We also told him
that we should place the special
list in our supplement, and if they
were OF any use to the Society,
they were welcome to all they
wanted, as the supplement was
then about to be put to press. The
President said he would take a
quantity of them, as he could do
no better, and he was accordingly
supplied. Our supplements are
printed, as all knows, for the pur-
pose Of supplying all the political
matter possible it is properly
headed, and becomes a part and
portion Of the ARGUS, and is there
fore part of the ARGUS itself, and
cannot in any way be considered
anything else. We printed the
special list as a matter Of news to
our readers, and not for the benefit
alone of the Society, and the So
ciety was in no way responsible for
the matter In the supplement, any
more than it would be for the matter
contained in any other part Of the
ARGUS. However, some OF our
Republican citizens took exceptions
to the supplement, without know
ing the facts, or stopping to con-
slider the subject, and some Of them
have had the manhood to scknowl-
edge that the fault found was en-
tirely without cause.
1t has been publicly stated by
some Republicans that we printed
supplement land they had seer
copies of it) last week, that did not
contain the same mater that was
contained in the supplement con
tanning the special premium list
Now all we have to say to thos,
who have been Instrumental IL
circulating that falsehood is, tina
il they can furnish us with sup
plement to the ARGUS of the Oct
6, other than the one found in thi
issue, and which was printed at The
ARGUS Office for that issue, we vii
pay them a reward of $500 each.
At the request of them member
of the Agricultural Society, we die
not fold our supplements in ouI
last issue, but we give it this week
in order that our readers may
Judge for themselves just how
much ground there was for the
great "bug bear" called a "Demo'
cratic dodge" 1t will be borne II
mind that the supplement is proper
ly headed, and shows for itsel
Just what it is-a part of the ARGUS
and nothing more.

the least interested, as he some
times pretends. in the success Of the
Agricultural Society, he would at
least explain to the people why he

that respect placed him in con-
