Fair PnRtnnnA6.

The management of the fair thought it best to set the program forward one day, owing to the unpromising nature of the weather Tuesday morning. People have been gathering since Monday morning, and the indications are that there will be the usual crowds.
 Wednesday the weather threatened to be rainy, but the management decided to go on with the program, and hold the fair Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
 Every train has added it's contribution of poultry, fakirs, bicycle riders, bicycles, horsemen, and many other things, includ- ing all kinds of folks, to swell the hetero- geneous mass that a successful fair calls together. The streets are lively, and the number of people passing and repassing suggests the interest that is felt in this, the event of the year. The merchants expect the people, and the show windows are arranged in the most taking manner possible from one end of the street to the other. The hotels and boarding houses are filling up, and although the Springs House gives more chance for accommo- dations than usual, it is probable that it will be hard for late corners to secure rooms.
 At the grounds everything is hustle and confusion. The exhibits are coming in for the halls, and the midway is rapidly becoming populated.
 Special trains will be run all three days from Palmer and New London, and it is probable that with fair weather each day will show large attendance.
 The following is list of the entries for the trotting and pacing classes of Thurs day and Friday:

The Plans Spoiled.

Elaborate arrangements were per
fected for q grand republican rally on
Friday evening Of last week, Congress,
man Robert j. Gamble being announced
as the orator of the occasion. The
plans which were arranged by the two
Mckinley clubs, which we're complete
i'll every detail, were spoiled however
so far as the parade was concerned, by
the unfavorable character Of the wealth.

ing, who otherwise would have been
present TO enjoy the eloquent and
interesting address delivered by our
popular representative in congress. The
speaker spoke at a great disadvantage,
being afflicted with n sore throat to an
extent that sendered articulation Diff
cult and painful.
His remarks were confined to the
discussion Of the money question and
the tariff, and his arguments were SO
ably and clearly presented, that many
of his auditors who entertained opposite
opinions, were deeply impressed with
the sound character Of his logic, and
were pe~rceptibly affected thereby. The
argument was a notably strong one, and
in its fluent and forcible character, has
not been surpassed in this place during
the present campaign. In marked con-
trast with some of the speeches of the
opposite side that have been delivered
here, MI. CANDLES remarks were especi-
ally free from abuse, being wholly
confined to a plain and candid discus
sion of the great issves now pending, a
fact to which is largely due the marked
effectiveness of the strong and I'M
snswerable arguments presented.
Mr.. Gamble departed for Edgemont
on Saturday, where he spoke in the
evening. which completed his engage
ments in the Black Hills.

An Able Discussion.

Hon. L. w. Martin, of Deadwood,
came in on Monday, and addressed the
citizens Of this place in the evening at
the court house upon the political is-
sues from a republican standpoint. Mr..
, Martins ability rs a platform orator is
! well known throughout the Hills to be
Of no mean order, and, as an expounder
OF sound and stable republican doctrine,
this occasion to cope with many who
have attained to n higher degree Of
fame in this direction than he.
Mr.. Martins address was not only an
able and incontroyertible exposition of
the issues discussed, but it was unique
in that il was not confined to the well
beaten paths traversed by so many of
| the political speakers of the period, btu.
marked a new and original course.
which, while tending in the same direc-
ton, and having the same objective
point, was more direct and conclusive.
Mr.. Martin, while not in line with any
Of the fallacies of the free silver advo-
Gates, does not endorse all of the argu-
ments advanced by the public speakers
Of his own party. He utterly disclaim-
ed the theory, advanced here by several
republican speakers, that the decline in
the market value of silver is due to the
over production of that metal, claiming
it was the result Of ~unfavorabIe legisla-
ton by the chief commercial nations OF
the world during the past twenty-five
years. He sustained his theory by
citing the Legislative action Of the differ
ent nations during the period named.
lie also showed by reliable statistics
that, since 1873, the amount of silver
coined in the world exceeded the worlds
production Of the metal, which showed
c~onclusively the faIlacy Of Bryan's state
ment that free coinage would advance
the price Of silver by increasing the de-
mand for it. He also favored the policy
of the redemption Of greenbacSs in
silver in emergent cases, as IN case ofan
attempt TO mass q large aggregation Of
this class of the currency, for the pur-
pose of exchange for gold, thereby i'm
perilling the credit of the government
lie does not admit the necessity for the
late bond calls, believing that such ac-
ton vas wholly Unnecessary, and could
have been avoided by the adoption
Of this method, which he insisted wonld
have been the proper course to pursue
under the existing emergency.
While this proposition may be open
to criticism. and not in line with the
views Of a large majority Of the republic
cans, it would at least be safe to say,
that all CT the populists would agree
with him upon the proposition. The
discussion, as a whole, was able and
interesting, and elected the closest at
t~ention Of his audience from the be-
! ginning to the close.
