tend the Fair at Waverly on Governors
Day. That is the reason, no doubt, thas
notwithstanding the sloppy ErasE, til
muddy walks and the chilling, dilheart-
ening drizzle which fell all day. Prekidene
Isham's tent on Quality Hill was thponged
yesterday with men who are famous ~
the legislative history of the State, In all
its branches, from the Executive TO rhe
Alderman.
The statesmen and the politicians were
not the only Jerseymen who demonstrated
their loyalty to this time honored instit us
ton, the New Jersey State Agricultural
Society. and thousands ploughed their
way through the mud and slush around
the stables aud stalls where the live stock
was exhibited. and jammed the inclosed
exhibition halls where the rain could saosl
reach them, until the atmosphere hecame
unbearable. -
Governor Albeit arrived at the Presi-
dents tent early IN the afternoon and
was welcomed with royal salute. The
salute was not the noise made by exploded
powder, but i5 was that seductive report
made by suddenly released carbonic acid
gas rushing through narrow glass aper-
ture. The Governor was in hne spirits
and looked as though he was enjoying
good health. He shook hands with all
his fellow oitizens who were presented to
him, and laughed and joked with his
political opponents In his usual felicitous
manner.
among the first to greet him was the
great Republican leader, General VIII
liam j. Sewell. 1twas noticed that the
Car of all the Jersey Republicans was
in the best of humor. The angle at
which he wore his brown derby was u
tribe more rakish than ever, and his step
had all the sprightliness of q well salts
fed man. 1t was also noticed that he
had on a new spectacle cord Every body

trance to his private Office at Camden,
Some say that the General was in earnesE
when he said he would deliver the elec-
toraI vote of New Jersey to Harrison.
while others said that he really had an
idea that the Republicans would carry
the Legislature this fall and elect him
United States Senator again. Amt it
funny what queer fancies man gets as he
grows oldl
AS the General chatted with the Cover
nor, he kept constantly gazing through
the flap of the tent to where his protege,
John kean, Jr., was rushing around, DoO-
bing up and down like buoy in rough
water, grasping everYbody's hand, giving
it wrench that made them squirm, and
telling everyone how awfully gtad he was
to see him. Once or twice US John
seemed to be travelling under higher
pressure than he could carry with safety,
the General looked worried. bat the

while Patrick Sheridan, one of the Deuno4

something in his ear which made the Ex-
ecutive smile. President Charles b
Thurston OF the Jersey City and Bergen
Railroad was one OF the busiest msn
about the tent. He was untiring in his
efforts to make everyone comfortable and

E. B. Gaddis, who always looks very
