KAssoN, Sept. 29.-Afiiairs in Dodge
county for long time have more a quiet
hum-drum life with nothing of Importance
transpiring to vary the quiet every day rou-
tine of rural life.
Our farmers have been blessed with boun-
tiful crops, wheat and corn being exception
ally good, but so far as productions go have
a rich reward for their labors, but the great
depression in prices causes gloomy fore
bodings as to the remuneration they will re-
ceive in cash, the one thing needful for the
liquidation of debts and payments of inter
ests.
With the return of autumn has brought
the season of fairs, and this part of Mime
sofa has had its full share of these gatherings
for the displsf of our productions
and with the southern Minnesota
at Rochester, state fair at Owatonna
and two fairs within our own county, the
farmers, breeders and merchantmen have
had ample opportunity for the display of their
productions and wares.
The regular Dodge County Agricultural
society held their fair at this place the 18th,
18th, 18th and 10Th, and resulted in most
excellent display of the varied products of
the country, that of horses, cattle and hogs
being larger and in quality equal to any
shown anywhere.
The annual address was to have been de-
livered by the Hon. Knute Nelson, but for
some cause he did not put in an appearance,
which was quite disappointment, as many
dotted much on hearing the distinguished
Scandinavian from the Bloody Fifth''
Hon. D. NJ. Sabin made US visit on
Thursday and gave short address. The
senator does not attempt great
display of flowing oratory, but
bis short address was well talked and replete
with good sense. Few in this county had
ever seen the senator before, but all were
very favorably impressed by his simple yet
dignifed bearing, and those who were IA
vored with making his acquaintance were
convinced of his thorough business quail
ties and general fitness for the high official
position which he holds as the servant of the
people.
The fair at Dodge Center Of the Dodge
County Joint Stock Agricultural and Mechan-
zeal society was largey attended, especially
from the western part|of the county, and a
fine display of the products of the county
was again made, although the rain on the
first day and again on the last was quite a
damper TO its general success. The address
was delivered by Judge Hickman, of Owa-
tonna.
OF things political very little is being said
or done, except in quiet neighborly CONVEX
sation, as neighbor meets neighbor, the early
demise Of the ''early born'' Blaine and Lo-
gan club having cast gloom over the whole
party. II couldn't withstand the terrible strain
Of its ''grand ratification" when George B.
Edgerton, Esq. and DR.. II. T. Turner were
its consulting physicians, and the DOCTORS
creed, mo good, no hurt" did not prove
correct, as it never rallied after the opera
ton. It was advertised to appear at Man
torville short time after, but did not put
in an appearance, owing to the youthful
ardor'' of its ''chief fugleman,n &C. A. Sew
erance, son Of the senator elect, and ac-
cording TO The, Mantorville correspondent of
the Dodge County Republican, to (undoubted
Republican authority, it was last seen con
the arm of its best girl.'' The great wonder
now is, "What was it begun for, $50 soon
was IL done for"
We deeply sympathize with the mourners
| and with them add our little prayer, ''regltt-
eScdt en- pdce.'I
On Friday last we were taken by surprise
by the announcement by posters that the
''Hon. W. H. Dunnell would speak upon the
national issues of the campaign at this
place on Saturday evening, and learned upon
enquiry that Mr.. Dunnell was to make only
two speeches in this state and those at the
two principal places, Kasson and St. Paul.
As Mr.. Dunnell was TO speak upon national
issues' We took a seat among the audience
and were much surprised to learn that the
only national issues the campaign afforded
was the personal character and capabilities
of the two opposing candidates for
the presidency, Cleveland and Blaine
He first described Mr.. Blaine, and from
| his standpoint made him all that
| pure and holy, and his vivid description oil
the scene when Blaine read the Mulligan let
tiers in congress and declared THAT the
tread Of Blaine when he marched down the
hall was that Of conquering hero" be
looked at the audience as much as to say,
show green you are to believe the story'' anC
! then declared that it was 'fnfamous to accuse
! Blaine of suppressing any of the letters, but
he didn't say why, in his letter to Fisher be
wrote "burn this, )" or why be wrote certif-
cate of character and asked that 1t be copied
and returned him. Many other things were
omitted, which, ii explained. might have
given the audience truer insight Of the
character of Blaine than that which he said
and when he said that the training Blaine
had had in the house, then in the senate ant
then in Garfield's cabinet Just fitted him
TO grasp the great questions of policy that
were to arise before the American people
The great question with US was, If Blaine
should be elected and should continue hi:
grasping for four years as he had in the past
/ -
be anything left of the United States. A.
for Clevelad, Mr. Dunnen thought Cor said
he did he had 10 experience that would ii
him for any position; that he was a uonen.
tity, aud was nominated because he wa:
such. Mr.. DunnelI probably had never held
the positions which Mr.. Cleveland has, or be
would have recognized that it required fal
greater executive ability to be the chief ex
ecutire of city like Buffalo than to b.
q member Of congress, and far greater to bt
! governor Of q great state like New Yorl
than q small fry senator or cabinet minister
and Republicans as well as Democrats, de
clare that Cleveland has made one OF tn,
best governors that New York has ever had
and the training that he has had as chief ex
eeutive of Buffalo and of the state Of New
York has just fitted him for the high position
IS chief executive OF the United States Al
together Mr.. Dunnellis speech was unworth,
