to each other. it means there was not

essary and foolish A fight or quarrel
should be made SO vigorous that both

now conducted. they are SO harmless that

plenty of places for their followers.

The COUNTY TAR.

The dates of the county fair have
been changed TO September 20. e and

ponds largely upon the people of Fer
gus county. The season is well adj
vanced and all products will have been
thoroughly matured by the end of next
month. With a little interest mani
Tested on the part of each one, every
department could be made attractive
and well worth seeing.
Fergus county could make a most
creditable stock exhibition If owners
felt disposed.
The mineral exhibit several years
ago was something Ia be proud of and
there is no question but it could be
made far more interesting now If some
one would give the matter attention.
In agricultural products heretofore,
the exhibitions have been such AS to ex-
cite pride and establishment at the pro-
ductivcness of our soil.
In fancy work and in all things per-
tanning to the ladies' department the
exhibits in the past have been most
creditable and there is every reason to
believe that with our rapidly growing
population, the coming exhibition could
he made to surpass all previous efforts.
The management is in correspond
ence with horsemen throughout the
state and are hopeful of securing a
string of fast horses, although it is q
little too early to make definite an

hibition, surpass all others thus fal
given.

Mr.. STEvtNSON'S LETTER.

The Inter Mountain, of the % inst,
contains the letter of A. NJ. Stevenson,
chairman of the Teller Silver Republi-
can state central committee of Colorado,
in which he resigns his position and an
nounces himself a Republican and a
supporter of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
The letter is much the same as that of
senator Nantes. Mr.. Stevenson. next
To Senator Teller, was unquestionably
the most influential silver leader in Coll
orado four years ago, and gave much of
his time and private means for the cause.
But Mr.. Stevenson is n protectionist
and an eXpansionist and in hearty ac-
cord with the Republican party on all
the issues now before the country.
Furthermore. when he sees the man who
was the embodiment of all that he con-
tended for four years ago absolutely
desert the issue in his campaign, he
feels that all silver Republicans are alb
solved from any obligation to give him
support. Mr.. Stevenson says:
IL have always adhered to the party's
declaration that we were Republicans
on all other questions but the financial
one. | am not a Democrat. and it seems
To me that the time has come when we
must he either Democrats OF Rcpubli.
cans, There is today, in my judgment
no middle ground.
Even while at Kansas City, and
while Mr.. Townc was still chairman Of
the national Silver Republican commit
tee, he declared that he was a Demo
crat, and that the Silver Republican or
ganization was kept alive at the request
of Democratic leaders for the sole pur
pose of aiding Democracy.
