VOL.III THE FAIR EVENT. ANOTHER TWENTY 3IIZE EQUESTRI ENNE RACE THIS AFTERXOOX. Moderate Crowd at the Minneapolis Fair Yesterday— The Races Not Satisfactory, but had the Merit of Prompt uess -Miss Jewel t 'a Condition— The Great Twenty Mile Contest this Afternoon Between - Miss Cook and Miss Pinneo. The fourth day of the great fair at Minne apolis did not differ much from the preced ing day either by incident or in point of at tendance. There was probably a couple of thousand mora persons on the grounds than there was on Wednesday. The weather was cool in the morning, but it was a clear, sun shiny day, and up to noon it was delightful. Shortly after noon the wind rose, and when the races were called, at 1:80 p. m., it was blowing almost a gale. The grounds as well as the raoe course had been kept thoroughly wet and hence there was no suffering from dust. The visitors yesterday were composed more largely of ladies in proportion to those present than on any previous day. They had a fine opportunity to see all there was on ex hibition, as at no time was either of the main exhibition halls crowded. The pro gramme of \he races was not calculated to create very muoh enthusiasm, and this, taken in connection with the great eques trienne contest, ' which takes plaoe to-day between Miss Cook, of California, and Miss Pinneo, of Colorado, kept many away, but will draw out another immense crowd on Friday. This race will be called promptly at 3 p. m. and as it will take only a little over an hour to finish it all those who desire can see it, and leave for home on the earlier trains, and thus avoid delay and the crowded cars, The judges were at work in the different departments all day yesterday, and in some of the divisions they have finishedjbut not reported. The ribbons are flying in every direction. In the dairy line Mrs. C. 11. Clarke, of Minneapolis; Mrs. Wm. Fowler, of Washington county.and Mrs. H. J. Wads worth, of Waseca, carry off the principal prizes. The judges in the different classes of horses have not completed their labors. In classes A and B, Feroheron Normans, Leonard Johnson, of Dakota county, T. L. De lancey, of Northfleld; Hawkins Bros.& John-, son, of Minneapolis; E. W. Groyenor, of Hastings,and Dunham & McLean, of Anoka, get premiums ranging from $10 to $50. A. Z. Blodgett, of Waukegan, Wis., car ried off the prizes for Clydesdales. Chas. Mo. C. Beeve, of Hennepin county; J. M. Eddy, of Maple Grove, and L. Fillery, of Riohfield, got the premiums for Berkshire swine. . The races closed very early in the after noon and the grand stand emptied itself, and the thousands thronged the buildings, pat ronized the Mermaid, the fat man, the man of the iron jaw, and all the other shows, and singular as it may seem, some of them patronized the saloons and restaurants. There was no accident, no rows, and but few arrests for pocket picking. The police regulations are very efficient, but much of the credit for the good order which prevails is due to the character of those present. There may be rowdies present, but they do not come to the front. Messrs. Hawkins and Howell, represent ing the firms of Auerbaoh, Finch, Culbert son & Co., and Beaupre, Allen &Keogb, con tinue to dispense a princely hospitality to all the customers and friends of these two pop ular houses, . and their headquarters are thronged from early morn to dewey eve. The old veteran headquarters continue to receive visitors, but the "old vets" are too busy in looking around to spend time enough to register their names. About 100 names were recorded up to last evening. Miss Jewett is still improving and she ex pects to be able to witness the oontest be tween Miss Cook and Miss Pinneo to-day. Both the latter ladies were on the grounds yesterday and are prepared for their great effort to-day. ■ The Races. The racing programme was very unsatis factory, the only redeeming feature being the promptness with which the horses were called up and sent off in the several heats. For this, Messrs. S. S. Vaughan, of Jackson, Mich.; D. J. Bobinson, Jackson, Mich., and F. E. Hesher, of Minneapolis, the judges, are entitled to praise. . They have performed their duty with promptness, firmness and impartiality. The programme called for two races, trot ting in the 2:34 class, and pacing in the 2:20 class. Tbe results were farcical in the extreme, to the disgust of all, management and spectators. The first raoe, trotting in the 2:84 class, was called promptly at 1:80. At the time the horses were moving up there were pro bably fifteen hundred people . in the grand . stand, and as many more congregated along the fences, but the disappointing results of the different heats of the two races gradually depleted the lookers on, so that when the last heat was ended at 3:40, not more than fifteen hundred people pretended to manifest any interest in them. The wind was blowing almost a gale, raw and cold, partially accounting: for the very poor time made. THE 2:84 CLASS. There was but three starters for the race, viz: The b. g. Sheldon, by Geo. Williams, Minne apolis; w. m. Happy, by Alex Lewis, Denver, Col., and the cb. s. Golden Star, by J. H. Bey nor, Hokab, Minn. In the pools Happy hold a large favorite, the result justifying the expectations of his backers. First — Sheldon aoted badly in scoring, necessitating half a dozen trials before the word was given. Sent off Sheldon broke almost directly after leaving the wire, giving Happy a lead of half a dozen lengths at the quarter, with Golden Star several lengths still farther to the roar. Their positions was not materially changed throughout the heat, though Golden Star managed to trot so slowly as to be shut out on the finish. Time, 2:30%. Second Heat— This heat was without an ex citing feature. The two horses got an even start, but Happy took a lead of two lengths in going to the quarter, which he held to the finish without being pressed. Time 2:35. Third Heat— This was a repetition of the second, Sheldon keeping well up to Happy un til entering tho back, when he left his feet and dropped five lengths to the rear, in which position the heat was ended, Happy jogging under the wire.

By this time Clinker . had opened a lead of fifteen lengths with Wonderful four lengths away. Along the back stretch Hamilton did some fine work, entering the home stretch not more than six lengths in the rear.

In the meantime Ham ilton had settled to his work and did some very fast work, coming up vsj|hin some three lengths of the leaders as the home stretch was entered, but the effort was too muoh for him, and he again left his feet, and losing all chances for the heat Time 2:32.

The sport to day ought to be the best of the meeting, the programme calling for two good races, in addition to the twenty-mile riding contest between Miss Cook of Cali fornia, and Miss Finneo of Colorado. The raoing will be in the 2:24 aad 2:10 classes. with large entries in both, as will be seen by reference to the official announcement of the association in another column. WINONA BUSBFOBD WAGON. Every Minnesotian has heard of the "Kushford wagon," but many are perhaps unaware that the faotory has been removed to Winona. The Kushford wagon will main tain its reputation under the new arrange ment, and a glance at their exhibit at the exposition will convince any one of the truth of this assertion. BASHICK-WABA. He smokes the pipe of peaoe and dances in the war dance at the Indian ■ tent on the fair grounds. The St. Paul Plow Works. The display of farm implements is cer tainly very creditable. Individ vally we wish to speak of the „ ST. PAUL PLOW WORKS. Their exhibit of all kinds of plows, from the one horse plow to the large breaker re quiring the united efforts of twenty horses, was never more attractive than this year ; but their SULKY PLOW is the one that carries away the ribbons at State and connty fairs. What they specially claim for this is lightness of draft and gen eral excellence. It is built with a view to give the farmer the most for his money. Every part and joint are perfect, and . con structed of the best material. Many sulky plows are built so as to be a dead drag on the team. This is not so. A team will walk away with it as they would a light buggy. Having onoe been a farmer we speak j know ingly. Grangers, if you look to your inter ests you will purchase a St Paul sulky plow, and take none other. SCALES AND WINDMILLS. Fairbanks'' Standard Scales »--- Eclipse Windmills. ' The time has come when farmers and stock raisers see the need of both a scale and a windmill; and that it is true economy, in the purchase of either of these articles, to have the best. If you cannot have the boat, have none at all. It is not economy to buy a cheap article, because it is cheap. If you purchase a cheap scale, they will cheat yon in weight. If you buy a cheap windmill,' they will blow to pieces on the first occasion, and your money and patience are gone. Those inter ested in buying these two essential articles, should bear in mind that TAIBBANSS, MOUSE . & 00., of St. Paul and Minneapolis, are manufac turers and dealers in those that are consid ered standard all the world " over. ■■• Fair banks' name is tbe guarantee. For the past fifty years Fairbanks as a manufacturer of scales has been known to the people of both hemispheres. Their goods has been imi tated, but without competition. The imita tors are so inferior as to draw a radical con trast, and increase the Bale and popularity of the genuine artiole. The mills and • scales are on exhibition at Stale fairs' generally and as generally go away adorned with the blue ribbons. -~ — > * FAIRBANKS, MOUSE ft CO., have ample salesrooms in St. Paul and Min neapolis, where can be found a very large assortment of all scales they handle,and also a full assortment of the Eclipse Wind mill, which is now fast taking the lead in the great Northwest. Farmers make a note of this. "HO ARK YOU, MAJOR OEXERAL?" Fun at the Fair. Such fun at tho fair! "There be goes. Bun quick," we hear, and away goes the crowd, hel ter-skelter, pell-mell, to see the grand, colored "major general." Look at him. He's colored,' to be sure, but he is majesty itself, tall and well formed, dignified and pompous, his uni form dazzling in its brilliant colors, glittering epaulets and polished buttons, with sword hanging at his belt, bis intellectual head cov ered with the old-fashioned Continental, three cornered hat, making him the conspicuous ob ject and chief attraction upon the fair grounds. Speculation ran high as to his rank, service, etc., which query was duly solved when he po litely distributed to the wondering crowd the cards of that well known and enterprising firm, Dyer & Howard, the leading Musio Deal ers in this city and State, and upon oloser ob servation, behold the name of "Dyer & Howard, Music Dealers," painted upon his capacious shirt-collar. It is the event of the fair, and is commented upon at the fair, in the cars, and at the hotels, as the most ] effective, attractive and ingenious advertising scheme ever yet in stituted. The inventive genius of this house will be the cause of many amusing chats and hearty laughs around the blazing hearth the Coming winter, and Dyer & Howard's colored major general will be long remembered by the visitors to the Minneapolis Exposition in 1880.

Petkbsbtjbg, Va., Sept/ 9.— lnformation is received from several counties that ■ recent rains oaused great damage to the tobacco crop, especially on the low lands, where the loss is very heavy. In consequence of the destruction of plants by tobacco worms in the early part of the season and of damage from rains, the crop in this section of Virginia is the smallest known for many years.

J -*; - F&BSTON, Sept. 4.— A large and enthusiastic congratulatory meeting was held here in the curt house Friday evening the 3d, in honor of the nomination of the Hon. H. B. Wells, of this city, for member of Congress in the First Congressional district of Minnesota, citizens in general and of all political creeds partici pating, as Mr. : Wells is very popular among all. . He . had that evening arrived from at tendance at the State fair at Rochester, and was entirely unaware of the demonstration. A committee of citizens waited upon him and esoorted him to the ball, where at his entrance he was received with cheers and playing of the band. ' r T|fT|MMipifW Mr. Wells made a brief address, thanking the citizens for their kind reception of -. him and appreciation of his nomination; ' that if he was elected would honestly and to the best of his ability consider the interests of the people. The political issues of the day he would : dis cuss later. ' - The meeting was addressed by Democrats and Republicans. ." Mr. A. Gray, clerk of the oourt, (Republican), complimented ! the Demo cratic party in their choice of the Hon. H. B. Wells, as candidate for member of Congress in this district, j He had known Mr. Wells for many years as an honorable and thrust worthy citizen, whose character was above reproach, and bad no hesitancy in saying, if elected, he would be an efficient and honorable representative of the people. Hon. H. S. Bassett, judge of probate, (Rep.) paid a high tribute to Mr. Wells as a citizen and associate. He had known the Hon. H. B. Wells twenty-five years when be, then a young man, came with his knapsack on his back to the then yet wilds and Territory of Minnesota, with a spirit of determination to make Minne sota his future home. He had known Mr. Wells ever since as an honest and trustworthy citizen and in his business associations a gentleman of integrity and ability. He did not belong to tha party represented by Mr. Wells, but felt assured in the event of his election he would make an honest and faithful servant of the people. W. W. Braden, county treasurer, (Rep.) spoke substanially as the other speakers, show ing that, although not belonging to the party represented by Wells, he must admit they had made an exceptionally good ohoice in the selection of Hon. H. R. Wells as their candi date for Congressional honors of this district. He bad known Mr. Wells for a number of years as an honorable, able and trustworthy gentleman and had the utmost confidence that if elected the interests of the people would be safe in the hands of Hon. H. R. Wells. Mr. Kingsley, candidate for county attorney of Fillmore county, la' bis address remarked that he regretted that Mr. Wells did not belong to the Repnblioan party, as if he did he would be elected by an overwhelming majority. ; , •- Several of the speakers made brief addresses, and amid the playing of the band and con gratulations to Mr. Wells, the meeting adjourn ed. It was in point of numbers the largest, tbe most enthusiastic, and harmonious ever held in Preston, and demonstrated the esteem in which Mr. Wells is held by all. He is as well the unanimous choice of the people as at the Owatona convention. Old Fillmore coun ty will roll up a majority of 1,500 to 1,800, and tbe whole district will give a handsome majority to the Hon . H. B. Wells. ! : A TRAGIC LE AVIS-TAKING. Oeorae W. Knapp, of , tea. Shoots Him self and Springs Into the Rapids of Niag ara River. .-.'»-;: Buffalo Special, Sept. 7. j Niagara Falls was the scene of another tragedy, yesterday, and one more victim has been added to the long list of unfortunates who have been either willingly or unwilling ly swept oyer the mighty cataract ■ At -9 o'clock last evening George W. Euapp, of Utica, N. 1., an elderly man, arrived at the International hotel, and shortly afterward preceded to the telegraph offioe in the hotel and asked if a message had been received to his address. None bad arrived. The man seemed surprised and greatly disappointed, but, without saying anything, went to the bar room and took a drink with Mr. Heldell, the. bar-tender, with whom, it seems, he was acquainted. ■ The man then went to Goat Island bridge, and stepped upon tbe platform just above the bridge, from which he scanned the boiling waters beneath him for some time, as if trying to determine what course to pursue. Miss Florence M. Evert, of Victoria, Ont, sat at the other end of the small platform, only a few feet away. As she watohed she saw him deliberately take off his coat and lay it on the plank at his feet He then looked into the boiling flood, and, seeming to have made up his mind, detaohed his watch and laid it on the coat. Then his sleeve buttons, ring, rimmed spectacles, and pocket-book were added to the little pile. He then took a piece ;of paper, and with a pencil hastily wrote a note, which he j deliberately pinned to the lapel of the coat, and nicely arranged the whole. This much accomplished, the determined man cast one more look about him, and then pulling a revolver from his pistol-pocket deliber ately placed the .weapon to bis head and fired. The report rang out clear and distinct above the mighty roar of the rushing waters, and the next instant the man plunged headlong into the remorseless sweep of the angry river. The young lady, appalled by the awful tragedy to which she had been an unwilling spectator, sprang to the railing, and was in time to see the body lifted almost wholly from the crest of the white-capped water, and then it was sucked from sight forever by the terrible undertow. The girl - was -paralyzed with '-, fear, but a moment later lifted up an agonizing shriek, which brought to the spot a number of people. She told them what she had witnessed, and pointed to the little pile of property, and then, overcome by the situation, sank into a deep swoon. The note pinned to the coat read: "Express these things to E. F. Es may, No. 27 John street, Utica, N. Y." The pocketbook contained $5,16 and numerous papers. The expected telegram was re ceived ten minutes after the man had gone to his death, but the contents are not known. The deceased leaves a wife and three chil dren.

There are some corpses in the "lower . seams whioh are supposed to' be lying a mile from the shaft. The air there is so foul, it is thought impossible any oould have survived;' Exploration of the Seaham mine was con tinned throughout the night. The statement made in a dispatch from Seaham last night that sixty-six men bad been resoued alive is now confirmed. The number of „ men in ■ the pit is uncertain, but 200 lamps were given out Tuesday. 'No hope is entertained for '. those still in the mine. Three fires were discovered in the mine during the night and extinguished. Every effort is making to olear the shaft. A dispatch from Seaham dated '. 1:30 >a. ;. m. says forty explorers have just ascended . the shaft. . They report fire to be near the . engine room in No. 3 shaft. This will shortly be ex tinguished. At present the relief party •'•' can get no farther. A dispatch dated Seaham 11:30 this morning says a party of mining engineers has i just' as cended. They report that the bodies : of . the furnace men at the bottom of the shaft - are quite shrivelled up. The other bodies they saw were fearfully scorched and- all their clothes burned off. ; The cool is on fire . near the engine house, but hose will be lowered and the flames probably subdued promptly. ' Accounts of the number of men in Seaham colliery pit ' vary. The pit consists of five seams, one . below another. ■ The l shallowest seam is 460 feet below the surface. . The total depth of the colliery is about 600 yards. Nineteen men in the top seam merely felt the rush of air, but on proceeding to the shaft found it blocked by debris. The air coming up in the shaft was exceedingly foul. Com munication with the top seam was opened at '1 o'olock . yesterday afternoon, but beoause of • the damage to the shaft men could only be hoisted out singly by chairs and ropes. - * A dispatch from Seaham says the - fire | occa sions anxiety, as many of the explorers ore in the pit. Vague hopes are entertained that some of the men may have escaped „ to distant workings, but one of the Miners, union who has been down expresses the opinion- that not a man or horse in the lower pit - survived • the explosion. There. were eighty horses : in the mine. .The corpses collected at the bottom of the shaft will be raised to-night.

Deab Sib: I have your letter about your meeting. When the ''Lincoln Club" moves anywhere all know what it means. The man who bore that name and immortal ized it died for being a Republican— those who take his name most surely mean to keep the Bepublican faith. - The principles and the aohivements of the Bepublioan party are at stake now, not because particular candidates were . nominated, not because others were not, but for- broader, higher reasons, - modified only in degree : and manifestation. The same forces which . brought .. the Bepublioan '. or ganization into existence, both the S forces which opposed and the forces whioh - sup ported it— same forces whioh acquired and those whioh have " achieved its ascend ency, are still alive and strong. -• It stands for peace, order, equal rights, and freedom among men, and for safety of property and labor. Those who' compose it, and the com munities and States which uphold it, repre sent overwhelming preponderance of the material interests of ; the country agri cultural, productive, commercial and tax paying interests; and in every partnership it is wise and safe for those who own most t» keep their share of control. Whenever in a business concern— and the government of every country is in .the highest sense a busi ness — money is to be expended or obligations are to be incurred, those who are to do the paying had better do the de ciding, in the first place, whether the thing is wise at all. In short, those who have the right to do .so, and whose interests are greatest, had better keep the staff in their own hands, especially in unsettled, uncertain times. The one lesson, folly understood, is enough of itself to show the American people the grave hazard at this time of putting in pow er the Democratic party, dominated \as it must be. The : Democratic nominee for President is an honorable man; - and there fore be will not try to defraud ' the party whose nomination he has accepted of the re sults implied -by - success. ? Snowing what the results must be, though I cannot meet the Republicans of Bochester on the night yon name, my earnest sympathy will be with them— them in every effort and pur pose to lift high the Bepublioan banner and push on the Bepublioan column. '■' Cordially yours, - Bosooe Conelino. - A SCHEMING QUARTETTE. How Sherman, '■ Foster, Hayes and Oar field Hope to Parcel Out the Offices. '<.' *" There ' is no doubt that 'John . Sherman, after the Chicago convention, felt that he had been betrayed and sold out by Garfield, but that the thing had been done so com pletely and cunningly, after the fashion of the Bepublioan saints, that it was not possi ble for him to make complaint : or get any one to sympathize I with him in his wrongs. The way he came to "eat his leek" and act ually turn in to work for his betrayer is ex plained by politicians who know the under currents in a way perfectly consistent with John : Sherman's well known selfishness. Sherman cannot afford to go back to private life. He baa already sucked dry the treas ury orange, and even if he were suffered \ by Garfield to remain in bis - position he would not be allowed to swing things ■ as [ fully and and easily as he is by Hayes, whom be created out of nothing, and who, owing | everything to his successful engineering of the Louisiana fraud, dare not make an issue with his ' : am bitious, self-willed secretary of the treasury. Besides, it is said that the financial 7 abilities of Calico Charley Foster are burning to dis tinguish themselves in the realm of treasury finance, and be having seemingly helped to force the Garfield card on the Chicago '- con vention, and being one of the chief * manag ers of the nomination, is bound to | have this place if he desires it. In this state of things Mr. Sherman is looking for ' the Senate, to which he expects to be elected if Garfield va cates the place to become President In this way Mr. Sherman will manage to keep him self on the public boards,' and avoid political extinction. There is no reason to doubt that Garfield, Hayes, Foster and Sherman all un derstood one another, and that i_ the I: deal '. is Garfield for President Foster for secretary of the treasury, and Sherman for United States \- Senasor, with possibly Stanley Mat thews for supreme court :, jadge if ;-' Justice Swayne should retire on bis pension, as '- he probably. will some time next winter.

Both time and money had been expend ed in making a grand splurge.'. The result was quite a success in point of numbers, but mis erably bad in some other respects. ..:.. In tho first place the meeting was iin the open air and the "-stands, '. of .whioh ' there .. were two, were situated about" two \ miles from the St;' Paul, Minneapolis & . Manitoba - depot. The wind was blowing quite a gale and was 000 l enough to cause everyone to . shiver 'with cold. .Again,' no arrangements had been made for lighting up the grounds and the reporters had to shiver along in the dark as . . best they, could. It was after 9 o'clock before the speak ing commenced, the delay being caused by the non-arrival of the St. Paul delegates. •.'.:' '.' The procession of torch lights was formed in front of the Nicollet House under command of Major Hicks as marshal, with Charley John* son, the perjured . census taker, .as . assistant, and beaded by the Minneapolis Brass band, it proceeded to the depot to meet the train | from St. Paul. Here they were kept waiting for over an hour, and finally a portion of the | pro cession proceeded to the r' corner of ; Fourth avenue South and Tenth street, where i the stands hod been erected. A sickly looking bonfire burned for a short time and then") went out leaving almost total darkness, with the ex ception of the smoky light from the torches. Occasionally a ~ reoket would j! be sent up, and f during < the evening fire .*. works representing Garfield and Arthur, Garfield on horseback, - and the name of Lincoln. The meeting at One of the stands was presided over by "Gen." ■W. D. i, Washburn, (general of timber thieves) and tbe other one by Oapt. Russell Blakley of St Paul. As soon as order was restored "Gen." ; Washburn (general of timber thieves), arose and said : that this was the first demonstration by the Republicans of Minneapolis in this campaign. From all over the east came the intelligence that their friends were up and doing, and it was fit and proper that the strong Republican State of Minnesota should send them words of cheer. He also . wanted -y them -■•-'- to send V word •to Wade Hampton, that if he was fighting for the same principles as Stonewall Jackson and Lee fought, we were fighting the same battles that were fought by the boys in blue. . We want to send word that we are in favor of Union, and we propose a solid North to preserve the fruits of the war. • . "Gen." Washburn (general of timber thieves) then introduced Attorney General Devens, who addressd|the assemblage for about an . hour upon the issues, , both dead add - living, of the campaign. - : He commenced by saying that it gave him great pleasure to be present upon suoh an interesting occasion, and ifjhe could say one word to inspire them to renewed efforts in the campaign he would be repaid for his journey. His voice, he said, was broken from continu ous talking, but he would try to make himself heard. gHe characterized the coming - election as the moat important one ever held in this county. We are all countrymen, and we all share in the general prosperity, and when tbe periodical election for a President oomes round, it is necessary to discuss , men ; and measures. He then proceeded to repeat the same old story of what the Bepublioan. party had done for the country, claiming among other things, that that party alone had put down tbe rebellion, He next took up the charge of - fraud brought against Hayes, and asserted that '■ Hayes' title to the Presidency was as perfect as that of any President that preceded him, and charged that the y evidence of fraud was far greater »; against Tilden, : whom he called' a .wretched old man.' . Four years ago there was a feeling of gloom all over the coun try, i Our factories were . closed and work ; was not to be obtained. - The condition has changed, and this is due ta the Republican party. I here is no necessity to-day to | give J statistics jto prove _ that we have entered upon " " a season of prosperous times. The funding of the publio debt, the resump tion of specie payment and the gradual reduc tion of tbe national debt, all came in for a share of bis attention. He claimed the , debt had been created by' the Democrats and largely added to by their aiding and abetting the re* bellion, as they did by putting : in their plat form of 1861 a plank stating that the war was a failure. This prolonged the war .. and cost many millions of treasure and many precious lives. . He paid a compliment to Gen. Hancock, and said he represented all there was good in : the Democratic party, and at the same time all there was bad.' He denounced the doctrine of squatter sovereignty and the Dred Scott de cision, and claimed that the Bepublican party had passed the homestead law. Passing from this he referred to the fact the brigade which he commanded in the . war, was composed in part of the "Old First Minnesota." He paid the men a high compliment and . concluded by urging upon the same devotion : to duty and loyalty to liberty in the bloodless contest now in progress that they had done on the field, by voting for Garfield and Arthur. ,'■ Gen. Devens was interrupted several times by the arrival of the St. Paul delegation and by the fireworks, but he did not lose the thread of bis story. He . is *> a slow aud impressive speaker, and his voice can be heard very dis tinctly. '-■ Senator Windom (10 votes) was next intro duced and was :. received with applause. - Mr.. Windom said he did not intend to make a speech He had been the reoipient of | favors from his friends present for nearly a quarter of a cen tury and he would not be so unkind as to inflict upon them a speech at that late hour (11 v. m.) He promised to see them at some future time. The St. Paul delegation . had to leave for the train and the speaking at ' this stand was brought to a close. * .' At the other stand Messrs. Burroughs,' Tons ley and "Col."DunneU addressed the multitude at some length, and at about half past 11 o'clock the great ratification meeting of the Re publicans of Minneapolis was brought to a close. ."■ -"■;-.--: , '■.'■-. Among the ; prominent gentlemen on the stand was Attorney General Devens, Senators ■ McMille n and Windom, Gov. Pillsbnry, Major Strait, "Col." Dannell and others. Desperate Assault Last Monday evening ... a desperate fight took place on] Kittson street, between '- a Swede named Ole Anderson and a Bohemian named Frank Novelooski. '% During the fight the latter struck Anderson with a club, breaking his ribs and inflating internal in juries. ; y ' r,- For obvious reasons the affair was kept from the police, and the circumstances -of i the fight did not leak out until yesterday.
