1t is very gratifying to me to be
able to report, that entries for our
fair are coming in freely. This will
save 1ne large amount of trouble
the first day of the fair, and will save
you much annoyance by preventing
the tremendous rush to make entries.
I again appeal to my friends to send
me as complete a list of their intended
entries as possible, and will send
them their entry tags properly num-
bered; you will then simply attach
the tag to your exhibit and hand it
to the superintendent of the depart
lnent specified. If you do not head
this appeal, then don't blame the
secretary if someone gets your place
during the rush.
The horsemen will let me have as
many of their entries as convenient
before the fair. All entries will be
kept strictly private. will send
horsemen their tickets on receipt Of
the per cent. entrance fee. Friends
let me have your hearty co operation
and we will be proud of this, ou1
twentieth annual fair.
Very respectfully,
A. Nj. NOTTINGHAM,

large crowd OF people, principally ma

the princess walked down the gang

flowers. She was driven TO her home.

1t Is understood that Kaiulanl will re-

the fact, as the young woman is now

that Kaiulani was plotting. her PEN
sion would be stopped.
Rumor has it that the princess is
here to be married. The groom is said
to be George Davies, II son of II. H..
Davies, the guardian of the young
woman. George Davies and his father
arrived a few days in advance Of the
princess. The elder Davies is n very
rich man and all his wealth will go to
his two sons. The Davies homestead
has been rcmOdeled recently, which Is
very significant to many people.

DEMOCRATS FOR 1900.
SILVER NOT TO Be A DOMINANT ISSUE.


New York, Nov. 1.-THE Journal and
Advertiser today says:
I'm an interview last night, william
G. Whitney, said: II the Democracy
be true to itself, It will resume control
OF the nation in l90O'
MIR. Whitney was in England on cleo
ton day; he said he knew too title Of
election results to discuss the situation
but he conceded the improvement in
Democratic conditions and declared
the outlook hopeful for the party.
'Restoration of the Democracy to
power depends on the party itself. II
harmony comes 1t will win. l should
say that tendency Of Democratic
thouhgt IL toward a restoration of har-
mony, to that extent the status OF the
party as political organization Is
improved"
Does the complete restoration Of
harmony In the Democratic party de-
pend upon the change in the issues
upon which its national battle was
fought last year."
~ believe the issues will be changed"
replied the eN-secretaTy.
Mr.. Whitney declared himself out
Of politics. and would go no deeper into
a discussion of election results.
He did not say, however, that he
would not take part in the future bat
ties of the state and national Dem
ocracy. Although he has held aloof
from the councils Of the party since the
campaign of 1896, his friends under
stand that his interest in it's success
has not waned and that he may resume
his former share In its leadership when
the occasion is timely. And that de-
ponds on what is done with the sill
yer issue
While the Democratic platform and
line of campaign in Greater New York
We're laid down In complete independ-
encc of the gold Democracy to which,
in 1896, Mr.. Whitney belonged, he was
understood to have approved n strict
adherence to the local issues and the
waving Of the silver question by the
party managers. 1t now appears that
he in common with many other party
leaders believes that the silver ques-
tion will not he the dominant issue in
1900. and that the party division re-
sulting from II in 1896 will not exist in
the next national campaign
The former secretary of the navy
expects the present Republican admin
istratiOn to create new issucs before
1900 which viii give the Democratic
party It's opportunity for n more aE-
gresslve and harmonizing campaign
than II has had on the silver issue.
Mr.. Whitney declined to discuss the
new Democratic administration Of
Greater New York and would saw
