We understand the attendance at the Eemington Fair is large, and the display in the various departments very creditable. Our old-time friend, John W Glassford, a former Monticello boy. now Auditor of Sherburne county, Minnesota, was in town Tuesday, and govt us a pleasast call At ths Remington Fair, Wednesday, ths Goodland base ball elub beat the Remingtonians, and then the Comets, of Rensselaer, stepped in and scooped the Goodland«rs.— Score* 30to 9.

They are so delighted with the mag nlflcent beauty of the Ree Valley that they have secured claims and will remain among us. Ree Heights (Dakota] Free Press. The San Francisco Wasp stings monopolists thusly: ”To say that he extra money which protection compels the whole people to pay for these things does not go directly into the pockets of the few hundreds that produce them is to be a ghostly fool, vagrant in the moon-gilded fens and fr*ste 1 morassos of irreclaima’* ble error and impenitent nonsense.” The business *end of that Wasp is undoubtedly in proper working or der. ‘ The Republican’s allusion to "the stalwart form of President Arthur,” at Rensselaer, is more ‘rediculous’ than the ‘idea’ that Lingle ‘would try to pass off his diminutive person” for the great kicked out ex-custom--house official. The fact’is, when the train stopped at this place Lingle was believed to be the most present able of the two, the general impression being that “the stalwart form” had succumbed to the influence of much chain pane. An interview with Dorsey, published in the New York Suu, reveals the following interesting iccident: “Was it true that Conkling could have been nominated?” “Yes, sir, and that is a part >f the unwritten history of that Convention. Roscoe Conkling could have been nominated if be had raised his finger. The whole Grant vote could nave been transferred to him, and there were prominent gentlemen representing States opposed to Grant who came to me, to General Arthur, and promised to go with us if we would drop Grant and take up Conkling. I myself told Cokling that his nomination could be consummated if he w uld allow us to make the combination.— “What do you suppose Conkling said?” Here the Senator arose and paced the veranda. “He said: Senator Dorsey, I was sent to this Convention by my State to secure the nomination of General Grant. lam here fur that, and that alone. I shall vote for General Grant’s nomination If I am the only man in the Conven tion to do it. I should be false to my State, to General Grau, and to myself if I allowed anything to be done that might lead to the defeat of Grant’s uomination. I therefore would not accept the nomination from this Convention if it should be tendered unanimously.” That, of course, settled it,“ said Senator Dorsey. How strikingly opposite was the conduct of Garfied in that Convention toward Sherman, for whom he was pledged and instructed.
