Meeting at st. Albans-A Big Crowd
Prospects Of Fine Exhibition.
The twenty-sixth annual fair of the Yer
mont 81 ate agricultural society promises,so
far as the exhibition Is concerned, to be
among ts best. The grounds a'e located
south of the village, are well adapted for
the purpose, and the buildings are all new
and commodious, The entries of horses
and cattle have rarely been excelel, either
in number or excellence. The 1ocks of
sheep are fully equal TO former exhibits
The mechanical and fruit departments are
not quite up to the standard Of former
years. Floral hall promises TO be fully
equal if not superior to any In the history
of The sociey. The merchants and trades
men of st. Adams are making large dis
plays, and the handiw3rk of the households
of Franklin county is being lavshly con-
trlbuted to fill floral hall to lis fdllest ca
pacity. All in all the exhibition will lie
creditable to the society aud exhibitors.
Monday was occupied in the recording
of the exhibits, and their arrangement pre-
paratory to the opening on Tuesday. The
clerks and heads of departments were kept
busy until long into the night, go great was
the rush to get everything in order.
Hon. George A. Merrill, the president,
aui most of the officers arrived on the
evening trains. A meeting of the board OF
directors was held at the Weldon house, to
perfect the arrangements and take Oh out

Fair VS.. Horse Trot.

The old fashioned agricultural fair has of
agricultural horse trot," that With very
many sensible people, particularly the bet
ter class of farmers, it has become q nus-
ance. They have ceased to feel an interest
in exhibiting their carefully bred stock to
people who have 10 eye nor thought save
for the contest on the race course. And
as each recurring fair has brought its tran
sient jockey, who has with al animal en-
tirely worthless, in every other place
than on the course, coolly pocketed
the socety's money and as coolly taken his
his departure, there has come to be man.
ifest feeling, stronger each year, that there
is something better, more worthy of cur at
tention than the;e demoralizing exhibi.
tions.
And now the Farmers and Mechanics
Union, who hold their fair on their grounds
midway between Ludlow and Proctoreville,
have for this year taken thew departure
and having excluded all horse racing fl ON
their programme, propose to make it just
what it is intended to be, o turner's and
mechanics fair.
1t is the writer's object TO call the atten-
ton of all those feel any degree of interest
in an exhibition of the Character, to the
fact that for this year, at least, their offer
ings, made either at the stock-pens or in
the various halls, will not be totally ignored.

Arithmetic Politicians.

Apropos of the Vermont election, the
Philadelphia North american says The
ari hmetic politicians on the other side are
hard at work with slate and pencil trying
to demonstrate that the percentage of In
crease Of democratic votes in Vermont if
maintained in ensuing elections will cer-
tainly give the country to Tlden in No
yember, 1t is pleasing deluson that
hurts nobody and frightens the same num-
Der. But viewed as problem it is very
much like puzzling very young children
by the inquiry why, if the boy of ten is
twice as old as the boy Of five he should
not through life continue to he twice as
old? In five years that child gains hun
dred per cent. aud the elder far less pro-
portion. Somehow, in spite of increased
percentage, he can't catch up. That's
about the case with the democratic party
vote in Vermont, the increase of a few votes
there makes big percentage.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The result of the annual st lte election OF
Maine may be summed up briefly as FOL-
lows A republican governor and state Of
iicers, republican legislature in both
branches, and an unanimous republican
delegation in congress. The entire vote OF
the state is increased, being the largest
vote, with one exception, ever polct in
the SAFE; the republican vote is largely in
creased, the democratic vote slightly So !;
and the republican majority nearly three
times as much as last year. The Iepubli-
can majority, however, Is less than it wac
four years ago, and out Of this, we pre-
sumo, our democratic friends will endeavor
to extract q grain of comfort. This calcu-
lation of per centnges of loss and gains is
90 dolus.ve-a3 was shown four years ago
that we can hardly see how any one can
CLEAN any satisfaction therefrum but as
we have read of men trying TO extract sun
shine from cucumters, aud we know that
Rutland democrats had what they called
Notification over the result of the Yer
mont election, we will endoavor to point
out a few rays of sunshine to be used at the
Notification" il one is had, next Saturday
evening.
The republican vote il, in round num-
bers, one thousand more than it was in
1872, either for governor or president; two
thousand larger than in 1868; twenty thou
sand more than in 1867 or 1874 nineteen
thousand more than in 1870; fourteen thou
sand more than IN 1871 twenty-eght
thousand more than in 1874; and sixteen
Thousand more than last year. The repub-
lcsn majority is nearly three times as
great as last year while the republican
vote shows an increase of Thirty per cert
over the vote of last year, and the demo
cratic vote an increase of less than fifteen
per telt. The democrats might pause
here, and ask themselves how many years
it would take, with propoItionate in
crease, before they could reyoluii9niz;
Maine and elect Samuel j. Tiden presi
dent?
If we compare the democratic vote II
Maize in 1879 in round numbers, fifty five
thousald-with that of this year-sixiy
ore thousand-Wc find that the actual in
crease of the vote is but a trlle more thai
that made by the Vermont democracy dur
ing the same period, and that while h'
latter increased their vote over twenty
eeven per cent, those of Maine have no
increased theirs quite eleven per cent Ye
it appears that the same propoltonatc gail
made in every northern state over the vote
of 1872, rs made in Vermont, would give
only enc northern C0nnectiout-tC
the democracy. What then does the pei
cent of loss and gain in Maine-whethel
taken in reference to one or four years age
show When our friends finish theil
figuring we shall be happy to hear from
them. Until then we are entirely satisfied
with the result in Maine.

VOTES IN THE WRONG BOX,

/. is reported that the right of Paul j.
Dean, the returned member from Barnard
TO 8 at 10 the general assembly will be
contested on the ground that several votes
for his opponeI land enough, if counted,
to elect him-were put in the b * provided
for the reception of votes for representa-.
tive ia congress- This presents Il very i'm
porla1t question, and one in which not
only the citizens of Barnard, but, also, of
Rutland and tie whole state, are interested.
1t will be remembered that, at our recent
election, in the canvass for votes for town
Representative, some ihirty-fye votes were
returned as scattering" of which, ii we
remember correctly, some thirly-lhree
were designated "For representative IN
"congress," two-thirds being for Charles
Ii. joyce and the remainder for Asa L.
Childs. Ia the congress box there were a
corresponding number of votes designated
g For town representative, which were
divided between John A. Sheldon and Ly-
man w. Redington. The question a;ises,
shonll these be counted for town repre-
sentative, and so aid in determining the
election There haze Teen elections in
this town when similar state Of facts
would have been decisive as to the result
Their rejection would have defeated a
choice, while counting them would have
made IA election. The uniform practice
in Rutland, we believe, has been to reject
such votes--that is to say, the votes found
In the congress box are not counted for
town repres alive, while the congress
votes in the town representative box are
counted a. votes for town representative IN
ascertaining the number of votes necessary
for choice.
We propose to examine this question as
briefly as may be; and, as we go along, it
will be seen that there il much to be said
on both sides. The law, under which our
elections are held provides that there shall
be provided, by each town, enc box In
which shall he placed votes for town rep
resentatve one box In which shall be
placed votes for state and county officers
one box Tor votes for justices of the peace ;
and ore box for votes for repres n alive in
congress; and that, at three o'clock, the
voting for town representative shall cease,
and the votes publicly sorted, counted and
declared, and, If an election is made the
presiiing officer shall make out and dc
liver to tn. person elected certificate,
atc and that Mt five o'clock thp other
boxes shall be closed, the votes counted,
etc.
This requirement of the statute would
seem to be impossible to be complied with
if it should be held that vote headed
For town representative" which found
its way in the congress box should bt
counted for town representative because
1t could not be ascertained that such vote

Mr.. Fairbanks Home Vote.

A st. Johnsbury correspondent writes to
the Boston Journal According to scrip
ture, "a prophet is not without honor but
in his own country and among his own kin
and in his own house." And 1t is generally
true that, If man has blcmishes in bis
character they are more likely to be dis
covered by his fellow townsmen than by
any one else. The vote which st. Johns
bury gave for Mr.. Fairbanks is a good cri.
terion by which to judge of the place
which he occupies in the estimation of his
fellow-townsmen.
Out of 1902 votes MIR. Fairbanks received
1886.
The vote of Caledonia county also shows
how little stock was taken by those who
know him best, in the Lase fabricatiops
used against him by his opponents. In
this county there were cast this year 20Gs
ballots for Mr.. Fairbanks and 14O1 for Mr..
Bingham. This is not only the largest
vote ever cast in the county but is also the
