We call especial attention to the
Premium List of the Eastern Shore
Agricultural Fair for this year.
which is published in our Issue OF
today. 1t will he observed, that
the premiums have been very
largely increased and all will agree
with us that it cannot now be said
that there is rot a sufficient variety
in tie exhibits asked for, having
in many departments been in
creased forr-told or more, not that
the premiums offered are too small
to induce exhibits. inasmuch as the
prizes hitherto wanted clements OF
stimulation and means of defray-
ment of expense and trouble. In
addition the grounds and buildings
have been enlarged-while the
track has been extended to a full
half mile.
There is no competition between
this Fair and that of the Chesa
peake and Tidewater Agricultural
Association at Care Charles, but
only that generous rivalry which
leads to higher exertion to excel
We regard 10th as of immense adj
vantage TO our people-and we are
glad that both exist. This one is
to as of Accomac somewhat in
the relation Of a home institution,
and we feel therefore a nearer in
tereSt in it. But exhibitors here
will be equally able to appear At
the one at Cape Charles-and in
stead of interference, there will be
a double incentive to both exhibit
ors and Fair managers.
We earnestly hope that our PEG
pie will meet fully and entirely the
advances made by the manage
ment of this Fair aud patronize il
more fully than ever before. Thro'
it our farmers and housewives can
meet closely anil learn of each 9th
er of the things they need. You
have, farmers, abundance of time
ahead of you-use it we'll IN prepa-
ration and go to the Fair fully
equipped not only to win prizes but
to show your better farming. We
wish to say few words OH Farm

The Democratic National Con-
yention wisely has needed the
wishes OF the I emocratic masses OF
the country, and their deliberations
resulted in the nomination ofGrover
Cleveland for President and Allen
G. Thurman for Vice-PleSident Of
the United States. Their action
could not have been otherwise-the
people from every portion of the
land demanded it. The admins
tration of the affairs of the Govern :
ment by Cleveland during the past
three years has given such general
satisfaction, that 1T has. neyero &c
cured to any good Democrat in
the country thatany one else should
lead the ticket. Equally deter.
mined have the people been that
Judge Thurman should have the
second place on the ticket, ever
since he has significd q Willingness
to accept it. The action Of the COIL
vention i'll reaffirming the platforms
adopted by It's representatives in
the Convention Of 1854, and in
endorsing the views expressed by
President Cleveland in his lasi
message to Congress upon the QueS
ton of tariff reduction will receive
also tie sanction Of the great bulk
ofthe Democrats of the country
Their election is assured without
perad,enture. Cltveland'S colors
have never been lowered in fight
and they will not be borne less
proudly, or he waved less success
fully, in having twined with them
the red bandana.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
Torch Light Professions and
ROuslng Speeches at Nephi.

Our little town, last night, presented
a very animated appearance, the occa-
sion being Democratic rally.
Several of our prominent Democrats,
chief among whom were Geo. G. Whit
more and W. P. Read, were busy ell
day decorating the court room in our
new and elegant Court House. Ats pm.
procession was formed, and marched
down to the UtahCentral Railway depot,
headed by Darton's Cornet Band, to
receive and welcome the visitors who
were invited.
As soon as the train rolled into the
depot the band struck up Hail Column
bie," the torches vera lit, and appropri-
ate speeches of welcome were made by
Messrs. Whitmore and Read to the Wis
iting Democrats, prominent among
whom were Hon. S. r. Thurman, Judge
W. n. Dusenbery, DR.. Pike, w. G. A.
Smoot and George Richards, of Provo;
Mr.. Cssady and Dr.. Faust, of Salt
Lake, and Mr.. Page, of Payson.
After repeated cheers were given for
Cleveland and Thurman and the De-
mocracy, the procession formed and

accompanied by salvo of artillery.
The sight waa very imposing and novel
for Nephi, and drew out vast audi

Mr.. Read called the nesting to order,
anu nominated MIR. Whitmore for
chairman, who ated in few words
the object OF the meeting. and intro
duced the Hon. s. r. Thurman as the
| first speaker.
Mr.. Thurman spoke at length on the
principles of Democracy, and was
followed by Mr.. Cssady on the tariff
question, in which subject the audience
evinced very marked interest and fire.
qnenuy applauded the speaker.
Judge DuseL berry made few re-
marks, alter which Mr.. w. G. A. Smoot
at the request of the chair. read the
Democratic platform as adopted by the
convention, and the meeting was

THE TARIFF DID 1T.

Commenting on the Republican de-
feat IN the Newark election, the New
York Tribune says: ut is not appar
eat that the tariff enteredinto the New
ark conteatdn any degree whatsoever"
AS matter of fact the tariff seems to
have been about the ouly question that
did enter into the contest. Scarcely a
speech was delivered that was not
based on the tariff, and that was the
chief subject discussed in the news
papers. The city is great manufac-
turing center, thousands of hands being
employed in the factories there. The
Republicans tried to make their
employees believe that tariff re-
Guction, as the Democrats pro-
pose, would certainly be followed
by cutting down Of wages, and
falling off of opportunities for work. In
spite of the efforts of the Republican
press and orators, the factory HANDS
voted for the Democratic ticket, chang
ing Republican majority of 200 one
year sgointo a Democratic majority of
| 500. To. such an extent did the TARIFF issue
enter into the contest that on the
lsSaturday before election, The mill and
| factory hands. almost without excep-
ton, received their weekly wages IN
envelopes printed all over with epub-
lican campaign literature, intended to
show that tariff reduction would
have disastrous effect on wages
and work. This is about as contempt.
BILE piece of Republican campaigning
as one can imagine. 1t was very clL sc
to.a threat that it would be to the per-
sonaI interest of the employees to vote
for the tickets of their bosses, The ef-
feet, however, was entirely cleiitable to
the men, who not only demonstrated
! their intelligence, but proved their indie.
I;pendence. The Democratic gain in the
four years since the charter election OF
October. 1884, is nearly $500, and as
there is every reason to believe that
gain will be held next month, there is
little doubt as to the outcome of the
Presidential election in New Jersey.

HOME INSURANCE COMPANY.

All who are interested in the welfare
of local institutions and enterprises,
will be pleased to read the annual re-
port of the president of the Home In
surance Company, which appears in
another place of this isue of TIE HER
AID. The company was organized two
years ago by some of our enterprising
and WE'LL TODD business men who
thought it proper that as much money
as possible should be kept in the
country. 1t was experimental in a
sense, though there was. abundant
capital and good business ability back
OF it; but two years. experience has
demonstrated that the projectors made
no mistake. Confidence IN the COM
pany has increased from the very first,
and its business has grown satisfacto-
rily. A dividend has been earned and
declared, and the Home has come thus
early to be recognized as one of the
solid financial institutions of the Terri
tory.
This is not only gratifying, but it is
highly encouraging. 1t will, OF atleast
it should, inspire others of our capital
lists and fnanciers to engage in enter
prises which will be for the benefit of
Utah, and which may check the out
flow of money which ought to be held
here,

AN HONEST REPUBLICAN.

The frankness and courage Of Texas
are greatly to be admired,
Mr.. Daniel Webster Flanagan, of
Texas, it was who in the Republican Ma
tional Convention eight years ago, came
out boldly and asked, What are we
here for if not for the ofices?" Mr..
Flanagan was well up IL his party's pol
itics, claims and mbitions, and he was
not afraid to speak out like courage
GUS man. Now here comes to the front
another Republican Texan who is
equally frank and plain-spoken with
thefamous gentleman named above.
William Green is the name CT the man
who is gaining notoriety by being truth
full in his politics. He is candidate
for State Senator, and has issued an ad-
dress to the voters of his district in
which he reviews the campaign issues.
Coming down to one plank in his
party's platform, he says: Whisky
and tobacco are just as necessary as
-four. aud bacon, for where parties use
tobacco they crave it and must have it,.
Whisky is needed in all families for
medicinal purposes, and little good
whisky don't hurt any laboring man,
and if it were not for This tax you could
buy a gallon of good whisky for 50
cents"
The Republican party is committed
to free whisky and cheap tobacco, and
why should any of its candidates for
Office dodge the issueP True, General
Harrison and some of his orators in the
cold water States of the north do try to
get around that plank without stepping
On it, but that is because they are
lacking in the courage and frankness
which politicians should always have.
Mr.. Green, of Texas, grasps the idea of
his party and accepting it makes the
most of it. Free whisky is a Republi-
can doctrine, and IS long as it is SO he
is not going to be ashamed of it. Col
onel Bob. Ingersoil also recognizes it is
a Republican principle because he found
it in the platform, and the Colonel pro-
ceeded to be frank and earnest in up :
olding that among other doctrines of
| his party; but he learned that the free
whisky plank was to be interpreted diff
ferently in different sections of the
country; that it was not to be consid-
cred as Republican doctrine in States
which inclined towards temperance
and responsibility although it was a
Republican principle elsewhere. Inger-
soil could not see it in that way, and
had to be sat down upon, and then
dragged out of the campaign.
But Mr.sWilliam Green, of Texas, is
managing his own campaign, and he is

TRUSTS" says Mr.. Blaine, s'have DO
place in national campaign" His
theory is that they are either purely
private, or at most, State matters.
We'll, that is view that was maintained
tor good many years about slavery,
but the party that stuck to it to the
last was banlshed from power for a
quarter of century.-New York
Times.
AS clear-cut, well-phrased, admir-
ably constructed literary work, as a
strong, patriotic, honest and straight
forward statement OF political belief,
as calm, deliberate, statesmanlike
presentations of the issue of the day,
this letter of President Cleveland de-
serves to stand as fine model. He has
added much to his great strength by its
preparation.-St. Paul NelUs.
AN esteemed Republican contem-
porary declares, and evidently with
some seriousness, that since General
Harrison's return from Putin. Bay, he
is to be the central figure of the cam
paign. Since Mr.. Blaine has developed
such propensity for reckless talking
there Is universal demand for a new
central figure; but Harrison will never
fit the place.-Arkansas Gazette.
THE REPUBLICANS LAMENT.
We have been out these four years past,
We know not what to do,
But jamie has come home at last,
Perhaps he'll pull US through.
Tbro' all these four long, weary years,
We've suffered grief and pain,
You oft would see the scalding tears
Fall down our cheeks like rain
We had the public crib SO long,
Those many pleasant years,
We thought our party was so strong
That we had naughtto fear.
We fattened at the public crib,
Were sleek and fat, you know,
But now we never get a nib,
Since four long years ago.
There came dark November day,
| Our hearts were beating slow,
go out" we heard the people say
About four years ago.
We tried so hard to win the race,
the people answered no;
They turned US out of every place
About four years ago.
We had TO leave the swag behind,
Oh that's what hurt us so;
| How wildly it comes to mind
About four years ago.
We feel It's almost vain to fight;
We fear twill do no go;
The people know that they were right
About tour years ago.
Guapo contra cts must be hid,
Jim S steel trusts, too, must go,
Or voters will do as they did
About four years ago.
o can it be our luck has fed,
And We are doomed to go
Up that Salt River, as we did
About four years ago?
