The Great Annual Fair Con tinues a Grand Success in Drawing Crowds. Ben Butler and Minnie R Divide the Popular Honors of the Day. The General Talks About Distribution as an Offset to So-Called Over Production. The Mare. "With Running Mate, Under Un favorable Circumstances, Paces a Mile in 2:118-4. Another delightful day made glad the hearts of the managers of the Northwestern Industrial association at its _;;e;it fair at Minneapolis yes terday. With the exception of a liltle too much wind during the aftaiaoon tho weather was almost perfect. It was expected that the an nouncement in the programme of the day that Gen. Benj. F. tier, one of the candidates for president of the United States, would deliver the annual address of the association would call out an immense crowd to see and hear him. In this expectation there wag more or less disap pointment to the management as the attendance was not as large by three - thousand as on Thursday. Ono cause for this was probably due to the fact that it had been announced that the general would ad dress tho members of the labor union societies of Minneapolis in the evening, when all who de- . sired could sec and hear him free of expense. As it was, there was 7,000 or 8,000 persons on the grounds during tho day, and if the truth must be told, the most of them were more anxious to see the races, the cows and the sheep and other attractions of the fair, than to hear the celebrated statesman from Massachusetts. The morning hours were spent by the judges in finishing up their awards, all of which duty was finished by noon, And the bluo and red ribbons were placed when it is taken for granted they belonged, and a large number of exhibitors went home proud and happy in their success, while equally as large a number turned away dis appointed and disgusted, for no one ever placed anything on exhibition at a public fair bat in their secret thoughts were convinced that it excelled all others. However, as the old saying goes, "When two Frenchmen ride the same horse, one of them must, ride behind,"' and so in all competitive matters, some have got to be left. The exhibit of horses was probably tho largest and best feature of the fair, but aside from the trotters aud racing horses, the exhibit was al most entirely confined to the Norman, Clydes dale and English draught horses. There wore but very few roadsters or gentlemen's driving horses on exhibition. Among tho principal ex hibits in this line were those of Gco. E, Cage & Co., of St. Peter, who have twenty-four head on exhibition, ranging in age from suckling colts to four-year-olds. Included in tho number is five lately imported four-year-olds of the Percheron breed, all spleffdid looking animals. ' L. Johnson, of Castle Rock, Dakota county, shows twenty head, of which five are English draught horses and fifteen Normans, all fine an imals. ' J. J. Hill's imported mares with colts by their side attracted much attention from horsemen especially. L. S. Follctt, of Hastings, made a fine display of his Clydes and Ilambcltonians. '. L. Tilney's splendid black Norman stallion "Lucifer" carried oil a blue ribbon. j W. W. McNair, of Minneapolis, had on exhibi tion some fine graded Clydesdales and three ponies. mi'V. T. L. Delancey, of Northfield, exhibited some fine Norman stallions. Lyall & Beatie, of Verona, Wis., showed two full blood Clydes and four graded fillies, and car ried off the sweekstakes premium. Hacside Bros., of Waukegon, 111., had ' sixteen head of Clydes and English horses on exhibition of different ages, and their stables fairly fluttered with blue and red ribbons. ! - '■■ -.:.; One af the features of the day was the auction sale of thoroughbred and high grade Holstein cattle by F. P. Lambert, of Le Roy, Mower county, Minn. The catalogue embraced thirty five head, and the bidding was quite spirited. The prices, although they ran up into the hun dreds, was considered quite low. Cattle men from all over the country were present, and when a favorite animal was put up for sale the bids range'd'Tiy the fifties, and no bid lower than five dollars was taken. GEN. BCTLER. The great event of the day was the appearance and address of Gen. B. F. Butler, of Massachu setts. It was stated in the programme of the day, 'that • this address would be delivered promptly at 2 p. m., and as early asl o'clock the ampitheatre began to fill up, it being understood that the general would speak from the grand balcony, or rather the judges stand. It was nearly 3 o'clock however before the escort reached the corner entrance of the race course. The cavalcade was preceeded by Danz' band fol lowing which came an elegant carriage drawn by six bay horses in which tho general and Col. W. S. King were seated. The appearance of the general ,was . greeted with applause and cheers from the i thousands Heated in the ampithcatro and ' •■ who . thronged the race course in front of the judges' stand. The general ac knowledged thesu demonstrations by lifting his hat and bowing to the right and left, He was quickly escorted to the grand stand, and after a few moments to allow the crowd to become quiet Col. King rang the gong for silence, and in a few well chosen remarks introduced the distinguished orator as a man who in civil life, in battle or in the councils of the nation was the peer of any American citizen, and as a man before whom the two great political parties of the day bowed in fear ana trembling. | Cheers.] (Jen. Butler on stepping to the front of the platform was greeted with loud cheers, which he checked with a wave of his hand. lie spoke slowly, in a rather weak and bourse voice, which, owing to the high wind which prevailed made it about impos sible for the vast audience ta hear him, with the exceptior of those imiuediulely beneath and in front of him. lie commenced by saying that it was his first and most grateful duty to return his heartfelt thanks for the kind reception accorded him. lie recognized the fact that he saw before him tho representatives of every shade of public opinion and it would be out of place for him on such an occasion as this to talk politics. I came here to attend an agricultural and industrial ex hibition. It would seem out of place for me to attempt to give you any information on practical farming, yet there are matters connected with your Interests upon which I may give you some cnlightment. You as farmers and laborers in this fertile land jof the west are get ting the cream of the country. I come from the far east where the farmers and the laborers are obliged to live on skimmed milk. [Cheers.] On my journey here, passing through this favored land, I am prouder than ever of my country, for here I see the foundation of our common country's safety. I have seen no poor men here, and* so far have been fortunate enough to have no rich men call upon me. [Laughter and a voice, "what is the matter of Bill King? Renewed laughter and applause.] I find here that great middling class, where the laborer, depends upon the farmer and the farmer in turn depends upon the laborer. The General then traced briefly the history of wheat culture, commencing in the Geuessee valley in New York and following its career westward and northward to the Pacific coa>t. - Passing from the culture of wheat he next referred to price*, and said that the Liverpool market controls the world, and it is a fact that prices are cheaper in Liverpool than they are in Chicago. The reason of this is that they have a law iv Liverpool and they enfore it. We have a law in Chicago but it is not enforced. He then gave a short description of the manner in which boards of trade manage things in this country, which would be declared a crime and punished as such in England. .His attention had been called to this matter by an article in the Pioneer Press, which he had supposed was true until he read some other things in the same paper, when he began to have his doubts. [Loud cheers.] Referring to the late corner in pork by which Armour, of Chicago, had made the enor mous sum of $2,500,000, and incidentally men tioning corners generally, he said that corners in stocks are of i:o consequence except to those who deal in them, but a corner in provisions or that which is necessary to sustain life was a crime against the world, as all - were affected by it. The general then alluded to the discrimination in rates of transportation, and gave the railroads a scoring. In this connection he mentioned the fart that England was extend ing her railroad line* up into northern India, ostensibly to hold Russia in check, but in reality it is for the purpose of supplying her people with j breadstuff* from her own dominions. The wheat | of northern India is 20 per cent, lighter than our wheat, but still it is far cheaper and makes ser viceable bread. We cannot complete with this new source of supply in wheat, and ■he advised THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6. 1834. his hearers to tarn their attention to other pro ductions In which they will have no competition. Wheat to day is cheaper than it has ever been before. See to it that your transportation is equally an cheap. The speaker next, re ferred i. to the tariff, which ha de fined as a toll placed upon the productions of foreign countries. The fanners and laborers of this country should see to it that no foreign food should be brought into thin coun try without paying toll, and in this connection he said that there was not a railroad on earth that discriminated against a foreign production. Our remedy la a home market. There is no such thing as over production, but there in such a thing as too much under consumption. Under consumption means that you cannot get enough, and to illustrate this point he said he was a woolen manufacturer. On hla way west he stiw a man with several patches on hi* punt*. That Ban wuh an under consumer of the productions 01 his mills! All those ev!U em be rotuotliud by law. Soe to it that your laws aro so framed that by no trick or device can the price of tho neoee eitie* of life bo raised by nn'uoly combination*. Your railroads need regelating. But it is said that the railroads are lnakiut; no mono/. Th is >• true. Why is* it true Look at tho low prlc«e of your production*, In 1888 they were nearly double what they are nov. , and at that tlmo the passenger rales were three conts per mile, and the railroads inado money. To-day your produc tions have been reduced ono-half, but tho rates of passenger travel on railroad* remain the samu as they wore In 1868, and why cannot they make money? I will tell you. Because the railroads a'.io"t own the railroads. [Laughter. J The stock holder* have nothing to do with it. - Tho roads arc run by middle men under the gulso of tho "Star Line," the "White Line," the "Blue Line" and I may add the "Black or " seme other line. They make skin bargains with the . railroads, who in turn make skin bargains with tho producers. Scratch the back of one of these middle men and yon hardly ever fail to find under his skin one of the stockholders of tnc railroads. These men produce nothing, but they ruin the railroads and they ruin you. They are not men who live by honest toil. There is no one more responsible for these evil? than the farmers themselves. You have the power and tho remedy in your own hands. You don't vote for yourselves. You get split up in the fancied notion that yon most btand by your party, whether it be tho great Democratic party or the grand old Republican party. Resolve to stand no more to either party. Emancipate your baiaiaeai in life from these great wrongs. Study and understand your wrongs and than vote together to emancipate yourselves. Do not listen to political cant — Btand toge thcrjand vote together. Let go these party claims and vote for your selves. The general concluded by saying that if what he had said was good lake it homo with you and ponder over it, if what he had 'said was wrong it could be quickly found out. As the general closed hi» address Col. King called for three cheers for Gen: Butler which were given with all thu power of thousands of voices, after which he was escorted to his car riage and driven down to the city, where he ad dressed an immense audience in the evening. The Jtaces. Gen. Butler was the center of attraction yes terday afternoon until nearly 4 o'clock. The day was extremely windy, and good time was impossible. The crowd was again very largo, and it is safe to guess there were more than 12,000 paople within the gates when the first race on the programme was called. To many people it was more than an ordinary surprise to see twice as many spectators in the grand stand immediately after the disappearance of the cham pion Massachusetts statesman as there were dur ing the time he was delivering his address. Tho inference, of course, is too clear to be enlarged upon. The first race proved an easy victory for Billy Dayton, but the 2:25 trot was the prettiest race of the day and week. Lulu Judd, Pedro and Gen. Hancock were so evenly matched that they made a portion of every heal neck and nock. Lulu Judd took the first heat, Pedro the second and Gen. Hancock the next throe. In tho third heat Hancock came under the wire in ~:~4;-i. According to advertisement Commodore Kittson'a Minnie It. and Firabrund were sent a mile to boat Westmout's 2:01 but it was fully understood by everybody that the gale would prevent the pair from covering the mile in that phonominal time. At 5 o'clock Splan sent them a warming up mile in 2:21, and at 5:40 he let them go round at a wonderful pace, making the distance in l:ll](. Under the adverse circumstances this time was remarkably good. Darkness was settling down upon the grounds when the last heat of the 2 :25 class was finished and the run ning race had to be postponed. TROTTING, 2:40 CLASS. The first race was called at 4:15, the starters being Billy Dayton, Jennie G and Ida May. Billy Dayton was a strong favorite. Ida May drew the pole, Billy second, Jennie G third. At the quarter the horses were all going level in the order of starting. At the half there was no change in the positions, but Billy and Jennie had pulled up very close to the leader. At the three -quarters Billy and Ida were almost on even terms, and at the head of the stretch Ida left her feet and Billy rushed to the front. A little later Jennie made play for Ida, and would have beaten her home but for a break at the distance. Billy Dayton went under the wire first, five lengths ahead of Ida May, Jennie G third, two lengths further back. Time, 2:32 H. SECOND HEAT. Billy Dayton had matters as ho liked all the way round, and had to go slow at the finish to allow the others to save their distance. Ida May was never pushed for second place. Time, 2:333£. THIRD HEAT. In the third heat a suspicion existed among the judges that the driver of Ida May was not sending her to win, so a new man was put up be hind her. At the turn Ida May fouled Billy Day ton, sending him to the rear. In the second quarter Billy came up to second place and at the three-quarters was nock and neck with Ida. In the stretch he went by his chief adversary and won the heat and race by three lengths in 2:3o*£, Ida May second, Jennie G third. SUMMARY. Trotting, 2:40 class, purse $500.

Before the quarter was reached both Hancock and Pedro left their feet, the three reaching the first quarter in the order of start ing. Between tho quarter and half Hancock pulled up on Lulu, and the two went on even terms for a considerable distance. Hancock left his feet for a second time and again botween the half and three quarters, Pedro going to second place. Down the stretch the three came in a bunch, and it wan a question which would win. At the distance Lulu began to show signs of wcarinesss and Spencer had to apply the whip most freely to get nor nose under the wire first. In a race ef another rod both the horses would have beaten her. . The finish was Lulu Judd first, a length ahead of Pedro, who led Gen. Hancock by a neck. Time 2:26 ft. SECOND HEAT. Lulu Judd got away well, and the others wero a length or two back at the fcrlong. . Down the course a bit further Uancock secured second place, and they passed tho quarter in this order. The horses went by the half without change of position. At the three -quarters Pedro passed Hancock, and then immediately fell to the rear again. Around the turn the horses came ap parently abreast. Lulu under the whip. At the distance Lulu began running, and didn't get her feet again. • Pedro went under the wire first. Lulu second, Hancock Mat, but Lulu was set back to third place for running.

At the three-quarters Lulu's nose showed in front, but the three horses were in • bunch. Tne three came down the home stretch abreast. At the distance Pedro broke and fell to the rear. Hancock won the heat, Lulu com ing in two lengths behind him. Time, 2:24 }j . • FOURTH UZAT. Gen. Hancock had the lead to the three-quar ter pole, when Lulu got an advantage of a length. In the stretch Hancock regained his lead, and won the heat by four lengths. Pedro and Lulu had a good race for second place, the latter taking it by half a length. Time : 2 :29 % FIFTH HEAT. Before the last heat was started a new driver was put up behind Pedro. The horses were sent oH at the second attempt ; Pedro pulled up close to the others in the first quarter, fell away in the second, and came up again in the third. Near the three-quarter pole the three were In a bunch, with Lulu's nose in front.

Splan came down the stretch at 5 o'clock, driving Commodore Kittson's pacer Minnie R, and the famous running mate Firebrand. When they got a collective introduction the spectators stood on tiptoe, waved ■ their . hats and handker chiefs, and let their voices caper in a most en thusiastic manner. When Starter Hancock had lolled the storm of applause the pair were sent a mile to warm them up. It was noticed that Splan held a small watch in one hand for the purpose of seeing for himself what progress they were making towards breaking the records as . they covered the distance. A great many persons present had never seen a race' be font in which one of the pair harnessed together went on the dead run while the other paced, and the novelty of the affair enlisted their earnest atten tion. Going . around the tarn Minnie II broke badly, and lost considerable time in getting set tled down to her ' regalar ' gait. She went well the rest of the mile, making the circuit in 2:21 . At 5:40 Splan drove the pair to smash the record.

The General Addresses Political Organization of Workingmeu of Minnesota. A Sharp Rejoinder for His Critics aiul Pithy Platform for His Party. The visit of Gen. B. F. Butler to Minneapolis has been one of considerable interest, although it created neither the enthusiasm nor the excite ment contemplated. Curiosity to see the man who has been so much talked about and whose face through tho medium of cartoons in the illustrated papers had already become familiar ized seemed to be the principal feeling which actuated the people. Altogether as an ova tion (?) and a grand "outpouring of the masses" it was a very tame affair. The train arrived early in the morning, so there was no reception at the depot, although something of a crowd had s collected and some cheering was indulged in. Ho was driven to the West hotel, where apartments had boon reserved for him, and during the day he received quite a number of citizens, who called to shake hands with him and to ask hi* opinion about the polit ical situation. At 3:30 o'clock he was driven to the fair grounds in a carriage drawn by six splendid horses. A band wagon and carriages containing members of the reception committee constituted the balance 'of the procession, which failed to attract much attention as it passed through the city ; IX THE KVENINi) About 200 membra of the Trades assembly met in front of the A. O. W. hall on Second avenue south, and headed by Brooks' band marched to the West hotel. When the general appeared there. was loud cheers. •He was seated in a car riage and tho procession escorted him to Armory hall. Tho hall at his entrance was half full, and he was again greeted by choers, which lasted several minutes. Tile room was very hot and close, and a part of the audience was obliged to stand, as a result the crowd thinned very perceptibly towards the close. The interest and Conthusiasm, however, did not seem to fag, and ho was often interrupted by applause. Be spoke nearly two hours, de livering the same speech nearly as he did at Milwaukee ' and Chicago, which have been printed in the Globe heretofore. His first crack was particularly characteristic. He said: "What is the condition of things which brings the laboring people bore to-night as they are meeting all over?" I find it evorywhero so. The condition is that there has not boen a fair divis ion of the profits of labor. . You earn for all and why do you not get your share of the division. Statistics show that tba average earnings of the working man are $900 per annum ; that the aver age wages paid each are $300. We are af tor the other $000. The complaint is that there are too many who do not work and livo upon the fat of the land. "They toll not, neither do they spin, but Soloman in all hi* glory was not arrayed like one of these." The wealth of the last fifteen years has boen sufficient to make us all well off if some had not got more than their share. I saw a statement in the Pionser Prut that "Ben Butler wants to break up the government." "Now where," he asked, "did the man get that!" "I have as much interest as that editor In the preservation of this country." He said: "I made a speech in New York not fit for a school boy. Yes it was, for hs would have printed it if had not been. As It was, he printed a lot of hi* own comments which were not lit for a school boy, for they are false." After arraigning the Republican party as boing the tool of tho monopolists, ha related some of his experiences as the exponent of ten-hours constitntc-day's-work, and the efforts that wore made against the measuie In Massachusetts. The Republican party had refused to enforce the eight-hour law In the government shops, and had pigeon-holed the labor contract bill . » During the first fifteen years of its existence the Republican party did well enougn, but after it had got through liberating tho working men of the south it would do nothing to ameliorate the condition of tho other working men. It had been tried and found wanting, and there should be a change. As to the Democratic party he admlttod that for the last twenty-five years it had bad no chance, but he said he had gone to the Democratic con vention and told them he represented 15,000,000 of working men who would support that party if it would promise to incorporate in its platform certain measures calculated to benefit the labor ingmen. They had refused utterly and he had left them. Here is the platform of the People's party short enough for a 1 to comprehend, 'and broad enough to cover everything. Equality of rights; Equality of power; Equality of burden ; Equality of privileges. This, bo said, should be repeated by the workingraen at night as a prayer. Wendell Phillips when he advocated the eman cipation of slaves was driven by a mob in Boston from the hall which be had hired for the purpose of delivering an address advocating this grand scheme. Wendell Phillips then was condemned by both parties and by the press and pulpit ; he was scoffed at and reviled. This year Wendell Phillips died and was buried with great honors. Eulogies were sang in his praise, and why was all this. Simply because Wendell Phillips nad advocated the liberation of the slaves — the same thing for which -he was " once . condemned and hooted at. Thus he. Gen. Benjamin W. Butler, proposes to plant the seed of the rights of the laboring men and women, if he does not live to see the tree grow from the seed he is planting. Concerning the position of the working men in Minnesota, he said that he would not advise fusion as be did in Michigan. He urged them to select men representing their idea* I and vote for them. The working men. he ■ said, should stand together. The trouble is that they do not realize their strength. . It will take only 11,000, --000 votes to elect a president, and there are 14, --000,000 laboring men ' in the United States, so that if they hung together it would take more than half of 23,000,000 to defeat them. He urged organization and steadfastness of purpose. This done and they would not have to go to the Democratic party with "what will you do for us." The Democrats will come .to them. He said the "grand old party" cry is played out. The ' Democrats and Republicans merely fight for. spoils, and there should be something more than this in . politics. , Let the salaries of officials be reduced to what wo aid be paid for the same work in business life and there I will* be none of this strife tot fat offices. Be closed | with: ; . "Stand up for your party; Tote for your men, you principles, your people ; vote for no man but who is friendly to .your interests, and by and by yon will get a. majority, and then .may God give you some grand leader like Andruw Jack ton,' who will nay: "By the eternal, the laws •hall and will bo enforced."
