Albany, Aug 2l.-Govern0r Hill does not intend 70
make many speeches at county fairs this fall. "Thus
far remarked the Governor a few days ago,
al have consented to make addresses at only
two fairs. I have been honored with invitations
to speak at twenty, but decided some time ago not
make many addresses at the fairs as had nero
tofore. One Of my objects before this year was TO
get acquainted with certain localities In the STATE anu
their leading residents Having accomplished that
am do not feel like again speaking at certain places
good many OF the invitations to speak this fall came
from places where have already been. Two Invita-
tons to speak at county fairs however have ac-
copied one TO speak at Lockport Oh September 2o
and one TO speak at Franklnville, in Cattaraugus
County, on september 26.'
