Our County Fair.

We hope all our readers will feel sufli-
Gent degree pride in old Hartford to make
the coming fair success, by exhibiting
largely of their domestic and farm prOduc.
tons, stock, &c. Hartford county is in the
advanced line of agricultural progress, and
it would be extremely Notifying to our
county pride if the fair does not show abund-
ant evidence of this fact. Every body can and
should send something. With ordinary in
terest and very little trouble the approaching
fair can thus be made one of the best ever held
by the society.
The attractions prepared by the di rectors
will be unusually great. Chief among these
will be an Indian show, in which real West
ern Indians will portray the Indian as he
is seen at home in his tepee, in the forest
and on the plains. This band is under the
leadership of Texas Mark, an Indian scout,
and will have with them their tents, ponies,
implements of war, &c.
The Grafton will be delivered on the second
day by Hon. John vi. Fmdlay, of Baltimore.
Those who have heard Mr.. Findlay will not
need to be assured of his ability to interest
and instruct an audience
The trials of speed also promiseto be inter
csting; chariot races will be held on the third
and fourth days, and there will be the usual
variety of entertaining sports.
The advantage TO the county of well.con-
Quoted fair, in which its products and re.
sources are fully and properly displayed can
scarcely be over estimated. Besides foster
ing in the young love for and pride in
their native home, it sets forth to strangers
the attractions which the county presents in
the best possible manner, and encourages men
of capital, brains and industry to settle
among us. Therefore let everybody do his or
her part in aiding the directors of our agri-
cultural society TO get up good fair

Mr.. ID. f. Orr, editor of the Baltimore
Grocer ond Gamer, recently inspected the to-
mato fields within n radius of ten miles of
Bel Air, and comes to the conclusion that the
reports of a short crop are well founded. He
advises packers not to pack ripe and unripe
fruit into the same cans, but grade their pack
ing, AS is done by the city packers, into extra,
standard and seconds, and thinks they would
thereby realize better profits. Mr.. Orr adds ::
To sum up, would say from careful exam
ination of the fields and the stock in hands of
packers the outlook for great pack in Har-
ford is impossible and cannot but arrive at the
conclusion that prices must certainly advance
instead OF going lower, us it is impossible to
put the tomatoes in the cans with a fair season
at present prices and yield a fair margin to the
packer. Hence with short crop staring us in
the face which can not be overcome before frost
sets in, and the dealer who holds back and waits
for lower prices will find stock from ten to
twenty per cent higher in values before sixty
days roll around. One gentleman, who con.
tracted with city dealer TO sell 500 cases toma-
toes at 81 90 per dozen, with the option on the
sellers part TO make it 1000 cases, after re-
turning to his packing house and looking over
his fields concluded To fill only the 500 case or
der and would not make it the 900.

AN ABSENT MINDED MANA well-known
citizen of Hartford county, who came to Balti-
more Tuesday accompanied by his son, lad of
II years, was so engrossed with the sights that
he got out of a street car on Baltimore street
and forgot all about his boy. Meanwhile the
little fellow started on hunt for his father, and
appealed TO the police for help. While all this
was going on Bel Air lawyer, who was coming
up the street, met policeman who had a drunk
en- man and the boy both in charge and on his
way to the station.house with Them the one
for disorderly conduct and the other as lost
child. The lawyer inquired into the affair and
took the boy to where his father was transacting
business, in the fifth story of the Baltimore and
Ohio Building, The gentleman then recollected
that he had left his son in the street car nearly
two hours before.-Sun.

FOR SHERIFF.
GEORGE Il. WALK Err.
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR.
WILLIAM N. GIBSON.


We invite the careful and earnest attention
ofall citizens TO the address of the Hon. Robert
nj. McLane before the Democratic State
Convention. 1t will be found on the first page
of Tile 1hgiS. 1t is not too much to say that
Mr.. McLane fully and entirely fills every re-
cutive officer of Maryland. He has inaugu-
rated his and the peoples campaign for the
Governorship in n speech of such sterling
and true Democratic craftsmanship that any
cry of faction is completely silcnced. Ifthe
principles enunciatcd by him in that speech
are not fully and exactly what the Democrats
of Maryland now want, then have we all
been advocating those principles in vain.-
His hearty acceptance by the Democratic
party as their candidate does honor to the
party and strengthens his hands in the per-
Torrance of what he himself styles his duty
and a duty it is whose full performance a
long and useful life of political honor and
and integrity guarantees.
Our contemporary the Elkton Democrat
most admirably says in reference to the tick
ct in general and Mr.. McLane in particular ::
1.-THE ticket probably represents as clearly
the prevailing sentiment OF the party whose
support it asks rs any ticket that ever eman-
ated from State convention. All interests,
all classes, all affiliations of the past and all
purposes for the future have had their say in
its making. Certainly no faction can
claim its exclusive parcntage. Mr.. Nc
Lane is his own man and the partys man
and a man all OVER too big for faction, too
strong for leading strings, too well poised for
domination, too rigorous for scrvility's man
dates. Chief among the foremost and mighty
amid the mightiest, brave, wise, rcsolutc UNI
tlinching his name is II synonym of honest
purpose, his lifea grand triumph ofhonorabe
manhood, His party, the State political in
tegrity, will vindicate the peoples verdict that
calls to the post of duty and honor the man
who neither seeks the honor nor shirks the
duty. The intrinsic merit OF the ticket is
generally recognized. All factions will unite
in its support and remove its success from the
realm ofquestion."
Mr.. VIM. McKcnney, of Queen Anne's
county, who was Mr. McLanc's competitor
before the State convention, has also done
grateful act in writing n letter to Mr. Nc
Lane, congratulating him on his nomination
and rendering the earnest support of himself
and friends Mr.. McLane replied thank.
ing Mr.. Mckenney for his Kindness and ex-
pressing his regrets that it was not in his
power to tender his support to Mr.. McKen-
ney instead of the latter supporting him.

The Custom House Faction Defeated.

The Custom House faction in this county
differs in one respect from that in Baltimore
city and Baltimore county. Here it is to go
there it has already gone; and in Hartford
at the November election the Democracy will
be the propelling force of its exit, whilst in
our ncighboring county it was strckenin the
house ofits friends. 1t unblushingly plant,
ed its standard, spread its banners and con-
qucred its own purity in Hartford county with
small effort : but when it attempted the same
in Baltimore city, in the language of a cotcm-
porary, il met with "Waterloo defeat" This
is simply n crushing disaster to- Creswell,
Webster Co. which they incurred by at
tempting unblushing "bosssm" in the Re-
no longer be manipulated and the result is
Custom House defeat
Now, how stands the case in Hartford, and
what is the logic of these events as applied
to our county? The Custom House faction
has nominated its ticket here but every intel
ligent Republican voter must see that its
triumph would be to cut off Hartford county
from any influence, as II part of that organic
alton, in the future. A large majority of the
Republican party in the State has declared
against the manipulalions of the Custom
House wing of that party, and their success
here segregates Hartford from the remainder
of the State, as TO all political influence in
either the State or general government, if
the Republicans should succeed in clccling
the next President. This renders their local
struggle for supremacy here desperate one,
indeed, and etfectually deprives the leaders
of the Custom House faction of all power to
offer any spoils, should they achieve victory
The latter, however, is becoming n more and
more remote contingency. Hartford has now
no longer the buoyant sympathy and en-
enlargement of her sister counties and Balti-
more city in the effort to become Republic
canized, because to declare for the Custom
House influence is another thing than to de-
clare for the Republican party. Col. Web
ster returns here to lead his cohorts, de-
feated general abroad. This is dispiriting
fact, that will dsastrously influence his
1OlloWlng al home.
The methods pursued by the Custom House
faction in the local campaign also deserve
passing notice. Should sucl methods sue
coed, farewell to even scmblance of decen-
cy for the future in Hartford politics. The
protested organ the Republican party here
last week, with apparently no appreciation
of the meaning of the scandalous language it
was using, charged in so many words, that
there remained no respectaJiHty among the
large mass of our fellow citizens who com
pose the Democratic party of Hartford coun-
ty, save tone remnant of political respecta.
bility," which term it had the audacity to ap-
ply to gentleman of whom the whole State
of Maryland, irrespective of party, is justly
proud.
