publicans in the Union army, but the
record of the vote by the troops in the
field during the war shows that 326,

REPORTS are to the effect that tinan-
cially the State Fair was not a marked
success, though the weather clerk was
constantly ION deck and made the
weather all that could have been de-
sired. The exhibition as whole was
inferior to that of 1879. General
Grant was the principle attraction
and gave cordial greeting to those
whom he met Citizens of the north
western portion of the State visited
the Minneapolis Fair instead of going
to Madison, on account of the greater
attractions as well as because it was
more convenient in distance.
