Dec. next Then the question will be decided
possibly. Chicago is not likely to get the con-

are not held in the same place in succession
Aside from that, Chicago is making no effort to

when will the convention be heldl"
The chances are that it will be held either in
Saratoga, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, or Cane May.
All OF these places seem anxious to secure II.
There is prejudice against New York city. and

"How about Arthur"
arthur stands well as President, and he is
held In great esteem by our people. If he had
come in by popular majority Garfield did,
Arthur would Oe the most popular candidate III
the field to-day. The people of Kansas have
great confidence in Gen. Arthur. They look
upon him as a safe and prudent man, and as
man of good, sound common sense. He is not an
originator of any policy, but heis an honest and
safe executive"
Who do the Democrats in Kansas favor for

The Democrats in Kansas generally favor

1.-The State will give $4,000 majority for the
Republican nominee Last election IL gave 49,

it 10000 more. They all vote the Republican
Ticket, you know. Voters in Minnesota are al

the majority in the State election of only 10000
Is accounted for by the face that the farmers
are slow and won't vote when they see little use

"Is Arthur talked of much in Minnesota"
Yes, we hear r good deal about him up there.
He is popular with our people"
DO you think he will be nOminatedf'
"Tnat depends. But if he is nominated think
he will be elected. New York is the pivotal

carries it he is all right"

OUR HAPID GROWTH

The population Of MOrristown has
increased something more than five
hundred since the census OF 1880 was
taken, being an addition Of nearly %
per cent. Ia less than three years. Last
year, Judge Mcfarland, Mayor of the
city, estimated that there was about
$780, 900 spent in building within the
corporate limits. The smallpox visi-
tation this last spring paralyzed all
business for several months, and was a
severe blow to our prosperity; yet,
Notwithstanding the disadvantageous
circumstances attending the opening
OF the present season, quite a number
Of new and substantial houses have al
ready been built this summer, and
there are now some eigteen or twenty
others In process of construction. All
trades, professions and businesses are
prospecting. The few manufacturing
establishments are being run to their
fullest capacity, and are yielding hand
some profits. Every house ia occupied,
aud there are daily demands for houses
that cannot be supplied. No better in
vestment could be made than in baild-
ing houses to rent. A few thousand
dollars judiciOusly spent in building in
Morristown could be made to yield a
return Of from Is to 20 per cent. A
case or two in point will illustrate our
meaning: A short time age, L. n.
King, Esq, engaged one of-our enter
prising contractors to build him two
small houses to rent, The two houses
and the lots on which they stand will
cost him, all told, when completed,
$1,000, and they are already rented
for $l0S.OO per annum, or over II per
cent. on the entire outlay. Last spring
John Shipley purchased from Mai. Il.
G. Cain q small lot near the depot, and
had neat two story brick business
house erected on IL, the entire cost Of
house and lot being about $4,000.
The property Is now rented at $4,000
per annum, being something over p
per cent. on the entire investment.
The demand for houses of all kinds is
till increasing. Let more Of them be
built. We know Of no better paying

A VISIT TO TIE EXPOSJTTON

To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
The undersigned left Morristewn on
the 18th of September for the Louis
vile Exposition. We passed fifty sta
tlons or more on our way, running
through some of the poorest land we
ever saw. There are seven tunnels on
the road to Louisville, some of them
very lengthy. Upon reaching the city
we put up at heBroadway Hotel, located
on Broad street, The first day after
our arrival, we crossed the Ohio river
on Whites large steamboat and visited
Jacksonville, Indiana. We took in
the penitentiary here, and found most
OF the convicts engaged in manufac-
turing articles Of nearly every descrip-
ton. The penitentiary buildings COW
er eight or ten acres of ground On
our return to Louisville, we crossed on
the large bridge spanning the Ohio,
which is one hundred and forty feet
high AID one mile and fourteen feet
long. The next morning we took a
street car for tho great Exposition,
where we passed the day most pleasant
ly. We were highly pleased with the
big show. There were q great many
interesting things to look also many
that we could badly look at everything
A large amount OF machinery was on
exhibition, and some little manufactur-
ing was going on. At night we went
to Buckingham Theatre, on Jefferson
street, and witnessed very good per-
formance. The third day we visited
the Exposition again. and also went to
the cemetery. The cemetery is the
incest one we ever saw, and contains
many handsome and costly monuments.
Louisville is fine, level city, and does
an extensive business. We advise all,
who can, TO go to the Exposition.
