JoNEsBoRo TENN, Oct 3, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR: This is the opening of the
eleventh annual exhibition of the Washing
ton County Fair. The day is beautiful, and
the opening the best we ever had. For
eleven years this society has held its exhibi-
tions without single failure, and although
the receipts have largely exceeded the ex-
penses each year, the stockholders have
persistently refused to declare a dividend
on the stock, but annually expend the
money in improving the grounds and in
cre4slng the premiums. Its management
has been such as not only to secure the
sympathy and support of the people of this
county, but that of the adjoining counties.
They have always been fortunate in having
capable and good officers and much of Its
present success is attributable to the eff
cient and energetic management of the
president j. E. T. Harris, and w. G.
-dathes, secretary.
The society offered for the best quality,
greatest variety and best and largest dis
play OF farm, orchard, garden and dairy
products, produced on one farm and
hibited by one farmer and his family, $50
for the first, $50 for the second and $50 for
the third. There have been four entries for
these premiums, and some of them have on
exhibition over two hundred articles. These
four entries alone, amounting to near one
thousand articles. would make quite re
spectacle exhibition of itself The entries
up to this time exceed that of any previous
year, both in number and quality. There
are twenty-one tents erected to-day within
the enclosure for the purpose of feeding the
multitudes who may attend; SO you see no
one need go away hungry.
Perhaps the most notable improvement
in any one department of our exhibition is
in the floral department and decorations.
The display of flowers this year is far ahead
of anything before and tends greatly to the
cultivation of the aesthetic among our
people.
good deal of stock have been entered,
but very little brought in to-day. 1t is not
usual to bring them in before the morning
of the second day. We hope to morrow to
be able to give your readers fuller account
of what is on exhibition. Truly, &c,

Connecticut Democracy.

Hartford, Conn, October The
Democratic State convention met in this
city to-day, and effected permanent or
gan1zatlon by the election of James H.
Gallagher president. The Committee on
resolutions reported platform, which was
adopted
The resolutions, which are unusually
prohX, assert the supremacy of the general
government within the ranges of its power;
the independence of the States in the wise
exercise of all powers not assigned to the
general government, and declare persistent
opposition to all the strained interpretations
of power named IN the Federal constitution.
They advocate strict economy III the ex-
penditure of public moneys, restric-
ton of appropriations from the
national treasury to objects clearly of a
national character the revision of the in
ternal revenue law and of the tariff that
shall reduce taxation, SO that the revenue
shall not exceed the present needs of the
government, and shall establish tariff upon
the only constitutional basis, the production
of revenue sufficient to meet expenses, Civ
ing incidental protection to industries that
promote the general welfare, and no protec-
ton to mere monopolies; they favor legis-
latlon appropriate to secure
the abolition of all unnecessary
officers; the clearing from the civil service
of all retainers of politicians, aud the fu-
ture appointment of such persons only as
shall have proved themselves most fit by
the tests of merit provided by law, and
open to the free competition of every citi
zen; Legislation appropriate to afford a
more thorough protection against fraud
In the use of the ballot. They also cordially
approve the veto of the river and harbor
bill
The result of an informal ballot for Gov
ernor was as follows: Waller, %; Morris,
l09; E. A. Brick, 50; scattering, 9 Mr..
Waller having received a majority of the
votes cast, was declared nominated by ac-
clamation. Geo. G.. Sumner, of Hartford,
was nominated for Lieutenant-G Governor,
and after completing the State ticket the

Grand Millinery Opening at Trade Palace.
Messrs. Young Il Williams, of the Trade
Palace, are pleased, this morning, to ex-
tend to the ladies of Knoxville a most cor
dial invitation to attend their fall opening
of Paris Hats, Feathers Flowers, &c,
which takes place at the Palace to-day. The
Trade Palace is the center of attraction
now. CHRONICLE reporter called there
last night and found ali hands busy arranG-
ing for the grand exhibition of beauties to-
day. One year ago We called attention to
decorations of the Palace, especially
to the tree of beautiful Plumes.
This time the tree is marvel of beauty, far
surprising that exhibited one year ago, the
plumes being larger, richer in color, and
more artistically arranged, the whole being
surmounted with beautiful white dove
costly nesting among the beautiful feathers,
The millinery department is specially ar
ranged for the occasion, and elegantly dec
GRATED with tapestries of ribbons and trim
mings arranged in a most tasteful and at
have on display one of the best selected
stocks ever exposed to public gaze in this
city, including all the latest and nobbiest
styles.
The stock was purchased by Mrs. Seay,
the milliner, who has few superiors in the
country in point of taste. There is no
trouble in finding all the latest styles at the
''Trade Palace" and the throng of custom
ers indicates that the ladies are aware of
the fact.
We must not overlook the dry goods de
partment Here is one of the most COM
plete and best selected stocks of dress goods,
trimmings, notions, etc, ever brought to
Knoxville, specially selected for the trade
by Mr.. CIV. L L.mbright, who. has charge of
that department, and who is the best dry
goods man in the country.
