annual fair of the Helena Fair Associs-
ton was formally opened to-day, and our

that they have perfect little gem of fair
grounds. The track, which is half-mile
one, Is pronounced by the horsemen pres

everything floats sloDg as nicely as mar
risge bells. There are over seventy-five
horses on the grounds, Memphis, st.
Louis, Kansas City and other cities sta
bles being represented with trotters and
runners. The blooded cattle exhibition
is simply surprising, there being nearly
every breed of blooded stock on exhibi-
ton, and, what is better, too, by resident
farmers, the following being some Of
them: Capt. James A. Bush, one Hol-
stein bull; T. w. Reese, jr., Holstein bull /;
Peter Mengose, Hereford hresd-one two
yesr-old bull, two bull calves and two
cows; A. A. Harner, Devon breed-one
bull and two heifers. The above stock is
all registered, and good round price wes
paid 70 them.

fair circuit, five entries, The race was

A LETTER from Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew,
president of the New York Central rail-
road, will be found in another column,
that possesses special interest," for Tennes-
scans, inasmuch as it re7amIs libel upon
Andrew Johnson that has many times
been exposed. No man was freer from
any purPJse or desire for social dis
tncbGn than Mr.. Johnson, and no man
WIS more spirited in the assertion of his
own personal dignity at all times, or ever
expressed himself more contemptuously
of class ard caste distinctions. He had
too much seli-respect to be guilty of the
degrading Stiffness attributed to him by
Gen. Grant, The ex President had enc
mics, some OF them bitter and implacable,
but No one of even these would charge
him with so offensive weakness or re-
lieve that he could stoop SO low IS 10
cringe to mere fanciful power and sur
render life-long convictions in 30 doing.
Andy" was not that kind of a man. He
had convictions and was fierce fighter
for them until the last hour of his life, as
Gen, Grant had occasion to know.

The Republican papers of New York are
giving it out that the result of the election
in that State, whatever it may be, will tell
for or against the President. Why this
should be so they are careful not to ex-
plain when asked, and content themselves
with reitersting the statement. But Mr.
Cleveland does not agree with them. He
is reported to have said very recently, in
conversation with gentleman on the sub
ject; "It is natural that l should like to
see the Democratic party successful every
where. l have always been Democrat.
BuE SO far as my administration 10 con-
cerned, DO not think the elections this
fall have any bearing upon it-either as
signifyiDg approval or disapproval. The
issues are local But | am free to confess
that next year, when q new House OF
Representatives is to be chosen, / shall
be anxious for Democratic success. The
people Of all the States will then ex-
press their judgment upon what the
Democratic party, in Congress and in the
executive, has done or tried to do, and l
shall certainly feel badly if that judgment
shall be against us" II the President is
thus correctly reported he holes an en-
tirely sound view in this matter. His ad-
ministration is not in any sense involved
in the election, nor is it on trial. Hdr-
per's Weekly and the Erening Post, mug
wump papers that support the State Re-
publican ticket and oppose Mr.. Hills
election, are careful to make this plain,
for they still warmly commend Mr.. Cleve-
lands policy and uphold his administra-
ton, emphasizing on every proper occa-
sion the extent and beneficial effects of
his civil service reforms.

read with especial pleasure by our Missis-
sippi readers. Like everything that ema-
mates from one of the most prudent, care
full and cautious Of our public men this
speech will be found compact with COM
mon sense which is of the essence of states

as to what he considers the duty of the
people toward the President. That he
thinks is plain. Mr.. Cleveland is to be
sustained heartily and without stint, es-
pecially by Southern Democrats, because
he is the only breakwater between us and

let loose in Ohio and New York, and that
threatens to lnundate the whole country
before the next Presidential campaign
shall have been initiated. Senator George

himself true TO his early record and the
principles of the Democratic party" To
this everybody will consent as to a we'll

above ali things, consistent and true to
theSplans and purposes of his political
liSS, and with it all he has been independ-
