The Johnsons nnd the Robinsons are evidently trying to get up a "corner" on Congressmen in this State. There are two candidates of ench of these families now in the field.

OVER a dozen men in Franklin township express the opinion that Hon. Arch Johnson will not get more than two votes in that township. One of these, his son's, is doubtful. The name of the other is not given.

The Democrats ot the 1st District have nominated Hon. Benoni S. Fuller, of Warrick county, as their candidate for Congiess. There is said to be some show of success for the Republicans with Heilman as their standard bearer, who made uch a gallant race against fearful odds two years ago.

The admission fee to the Indianapolis exposition for the first three weeks will be only twenty-five cents. For the last week, which will include the live stock exhibition as well as the exposition, the admissson will be fifty cents. The exposition opens on the Ttli of September. The managers report the prospect for a srood exhibition as very flattering.

ONE of the reforms proposed in the Democratic State platform is a return to the old system of assessments for taxation. The old system consisted in guessing property at about two thirds of its I value. How this operated in favor of the rich is clearly shown by the Indian-! powder in filling a gun.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR COXUIIINS.

I'lloriun'OH ol Itio OiNlrirl I'res*. [Knim tlu Oxford Tribune.) The Republican Congressional convention at Crawfordsville on the 13th, renominated Hon. T. J. Cason for Congress. This result receives our warmest endorsement and meeus the approval of the Republicans of our county. Mr. Cason in his legislative career has proven himself worthy of the confidence of the people in that he has always rep resented them. The present Congress possesses no harder or more zealous worker than Mr. Cason.

It is now the duty of all true friends of the cause to know no other man for Congress but Mr. Cason. Having proved him elf worthy of our support, by his work in the last Congress, we can more readily and earnestly Support him a second time.

At the annual fairs are exhibited the results of ths labor and experiencp of the year, by the farmer and artisan. I Here are found palpable facts and reresults, evolved ot the theories, methods and fancies most in vogue, and out ot these facta the observant and thoughtful gather practical truths to incorporate into plans and methods for the future, it is a duty that all owe to themselves, no less than to the good of society, to attend the State and county fairs, there to avail themselves of the good, solid information which experience imparts. If men are industrious and yet do. not sueceed, the cause may invariably be traced to lack of information about their affairs.

The fair is the great book of accumulated experience of our most successful men. All the theories and methods have been tested by them, and here they exhibit the result. It
