The real question on which this Presidential
election is to turn is whether official honesty
and administrative reform be more important
than the protection of negro rights i'll the
South. If the country regards the negro queS-
ton as paramount it will elect Hayes; if it re-
CARDS the reform question as paramount it will
elect Tilden. New York Herald.
The Herald does not state the issues al
together fairly. Gov. Tilden has prom
ised to protect all citizens in their rights
if elected; and he will do it, too Now
if we accept the statements of the Repub-
lican leaders and newspapers, the negroes
are not at this time 50 protected This is
tantamount to an admission that recon-
struction has been a failure; that nothing
has been gained by keeping the South
under bayonet rule; and that Grant dur
ing his two terms in the Presidential
chair, with the army at his back, has not
succeeded in securing to the negro his
rights under the law. Now why should
Hayes be expected to accomplish that in
which Grant has tailed? The Herald
comedies that ''oi1icial honesty and ad-
mlnistrative reform cannot be had if
Hayes is elected The truth of the mat
ter is simply this, that the election Of
Hayes would be the perpetuation of
Grantism- only that and nothing more

The Maine State Fair.

PORTLAND, Me, Aug Il. Tomorrow
the Maine State Agricultural Society eel
ebrates its majority, ior on this occasion
it will hold its DIST annual fair ON the
Presumpscot Park grounds in Deering
The society was Incorporated April ith,
| 1919, and has gone on increasing in
strength and usefulness. 50 that at the
| present time it may be said not only to be
doing Il good work in the State. but in
calling. TO 4 greater extent than ever be-
fore, the attention OF its older sisters The
officers at present, are Hon. Rufus Prince
OF Turner, president; Hon. Samuel Was
son, East Surrey, secretary; w. z. Hub
bard, Bangor, treasurer; DR.. S II. TeWks-

| Togus, trustees at large; b. L. Hamilton
| Biddetord. Major Seward Dill, Phillips.
Hon. Warren Percival, Nassalboro, W. Z.
Wingate, Bangor, and Frank Buck, Orland
trustees for the congressional districts
Last year the society decided to hold the
State fair, for the ensuing three years, at
Presumpscot Park, Deering. The Pomo-
| logical and Horticultural societies, the
Stock Breeders Association and Maine
Dairymen's Association, all united with
the State fair on that occasion, and the

witnessed. But the receipts were less than
the expenditures This year it was decid-
ed to hold the fair earlier than usual and
only the StockbreeGer's Association voted
to cooperate. 1t is rather early for fine
exhibition OF fruits, and some think it too
early to hold the tar on every account.
while there are many who are of the opin-
ion that the prospect OF fair weather coun-
terbalances everything else. The Presump-
scot Park grounds are all that can be de-
| sired They embrace 80 acres, have nu-
merous buildings for the cattle and horses,
large two-storied structure for the ex-
hibition otcarriages and farm implements,
| the moist places have been well drained
and there is an abundance of water of the
purest quality handy. Waste places have
been sown to grass, and the track is one
Of the best in the country,
The Charleston journal of Commerce,
after an elaborate review of Nh Tilden's
great crusade Of reform, concludes with
this exhibit:
This plain statement of facts which can
not be disputed, and which could be for
tilted by countless details, if it were me-
ccssary. shows:
l. That Mr. Tilden began the attack on
the Tweed Ring.
IL. That he began the attack when the
Ring was at the height Of its power and
was in complete control of every braLch
OF the city and State governments
I'LL. That, while enjoying one Of the
largest and most lucrative legal practices
in the country, he gave up sixteen months
of his time to the work of destroying this
powerful combination.
". That he finally succeeded in turn
ing 10000 Democratic voters against it
and overthrow it.
V. That his personal Investigations fur
! nished almost every item of legal proof on
which the suits against Tweed and his
guilty confederates were founded, and that
he arranged the machinery by which these
suits were brought.
VI That he drove Tammany Judges
from the bench and perfected legislation
by which official plumbers might be pun
ished.

vent the corrupt use of money at the com

A most remarkable phenomenon oc-
cured during the firing of the salute al
the depot grounds Saturday, when the
train containing Senator Blaine, Gov

into the station. On the discharge of the
first cannon three beautiful rings of smoke
were seen to curl up from the muzzle of
the gun, rise high in the air and float to-
ward the distinguished party. The inter
probation of these remarkable rings are
that they were symbolical Of the whiskey
and other rings from which the Republican
party largely derives it funds to keep up
these shows. The accompanying odor of
sulphur was suggestive Of that hell which
