per Will admit this, but will be as silent
as the grave. They 60 on perpetratine
their lies and Infamous falsehoods. I'm
fortunately, we have no papers to pro-
pagate our principles; we must depend
upon ourselves alone, as the party pap

unanimously offered it to me. If ! shall

Mr. F. NJ Curryer, candidate for the
legislature, was called upon and said
that he would do all he could for the
Alliance principles if elected, and that
when be came home IN the spring he
hoped to be able to look all in the eye
and grasp all by the hand with the con-
seriousness of duty we'll done.
Mr.. Champlin was loudly called for,
but did not respond. This concluding
the speech making, the people dispersed
over the grounds once more.
After the speech making had been
concluded, the races were announced.
Owing to there not beng enough entries
the most of the races were declared off.
A free for all running race was won
by E. L. Fogg, of Ceresco, with w. c.
Drake, of Garden City, second, and W.
H. Conklin, of the same place, third.
A broncho race was also run, and
both we're exciting and afforded much
amusement to the spectators.
Floral hall was more beautifully ar
ranged and more pientifully supplied
with exhibits than ever before. The
ladies seem to have wed with each other
in making this success. Everything
that is usually found IN this building was
there, including all varieties of fancy
work, fruits, preserves, flowers, etc., to-
gether with butter and cheese, organs,
grains and farm produce, etc. The ex-
hibit of produce and poultry were es-
pecially good,
itself on coming out in good shape fnan-
cially. The premium and prizes will
be mailed by check by the secretary, as
soon as all of the accounts are made up.
The amount and quality of the stock
entered will compare very favorably
with that of any previous year. The
best that the county affords was there,
and proved satisfactorily that Blue Earth
is one of the foremost counties in the
| Northwest in the industry of breeding
horses and cattle. The exhibit of blood
ed stations was especially fine We
