HoT WORDS BETWEEN OFFICIALS -
Some very hot words passed few days
since between Gov. Nichols, of Louis
lana, and State Printer Dupre, in the
office of the former. II seems that the
State printer made some statement that
the Governor pronounced a falsehood.
DupEe replied, according to his version,
that he would refrain from resenting
the insult, because it came from the
Governor and crippled soldier, and to
which the Governor responded, II will
waive all that, sir. shall soon retire
from office, and will be responsible to
you then" Dupre responded: Every
we'll; III the meantime | will have moth
ing more TO say to YOU" and withdrew.

The republican nominee for governor of Min
nesota is meeting with bitter opposition within
his own party. He was nominated for a third
time, in spite OF the protest of large proportion
of the party, who were opposed to overriding
the old custom. This is being used effectively
against him, and in addition 1t has been proven
that during the whole OF his two terms -four
years. he drew from the state treasury $500 per
year allowed the governor for house rent While
in fact he was living in his own residence in
Minneapolis and did not pay dollar In rent.
The saltwater Messenger, an influential repub-
lican paper, vigorously opposes the reelection
OF Gov. Ptllsbury, and the disaffection within
the party may defeat him. especially as the dem
ocrats have nominated an excellent man upon
sound currency platform.

Our National Fair.

Some encouraging statistics for the projectors
and hackers OF our coming National Fair are to
be found in the results of the exhibitions lately
closed in Cincinnati, Chicago and Pittsburg.
respectively. AT Cincinnati the attendance is
given In round figures at 100000, the daily eX-
penses az 5000, and the net receipts at a little
less than $4,000. The accounts of the Chicago
exposition have not yet been fully made up, but
careful estimate, based on what Is already
well known, fixes the attendance at 100000, the
daily expenses at $500, and the net proceeds at
100000 The PittSburg exhibition, with an at
tendance of something more than 100000, got
through with daily expenditure of 1925, and
cleared over $4,000.
While the number of visitors at the first National
Fair will doubtless fall far below the enormous
crowds poured out by the large cities of CinCin-
natl and Chicago and the thickly settled coun-
try Immediately surrounding them. the eXpecta-
ton is not an unreasonable one that 1t will not
be greatly exceeded by the PittSburg attendance.
There are also good reasons for hoping that, in
spite OF all the ilnpedimentS and unforeseen diff
f1cutieS incident to first opening, there may
be at least a small balance on the right side of
Its cash account. Certain it is, however, that
the future success of our Fair is assured if It's
inaugural exhibition is as complete and interest
ing as il can be made, even though its first dis
play should be attended with slight pecuniary
loss IL necessarily starts as all such enterprises
do in their beginning, handicapped by many
drawbacks, but each recurring exhibition can
and doubtless will be made more and more sue
caSsful in every sense. But, as in all such ex-
hibitiOnS- the future reputation and success OF
the Fair will depend largely upon the Impression
made upon the public mind by the first effort.
Ii il passes Off satisfactorily in every way,
there will be no trouble about the future; If it
lags, the odds against coming exhibitions will be
largely increased. 1t Is important, therefore,
that all WaShingtonianS should do everything in
their power which will In any way contribute
not alone to the pecuniary success OF the first
exhibition, but also to its interest and value as
public entertainment.
1t has been demonstrated over and over again
that such enterprises are not only creditable In
the highest degree to the reputation of the cities
where they are held, but also of the greatest ma
ter1al advantage to them in pecuniary and
business point of view. Almost every person in
Washington certainly every business establish
ment Is sure to be benefited. directly and indi-
rectly by the coming Fair, just as they are by
the throngS brought here by any proper attrac-
ton that can be held out to strangers. The duty
OF our people in the present case Is therefore
very clear and simple.

The municipal election in Baltimore yesterday
resulted In the reelection OF Mayor F. C. Latrobe
democrat, by majority OF $3.50 over William j.
Hooper, republican. Octavian L. Mathiot, the
greenback candidate, received only 90 votes;
showing that the sensible people of Baltimore
have no idea OF adopting the rag baby founding,
discarded by its cruel Ohio parents. The repub-
ncans did not succeed in ousting Mayor Latrobe
who has proved an honest and capable officer,
but they were able to break up the solid demo-
cratic phalanx In the city councils, by electing
two members to the first branch and one to the
second. For four years past both branches have
been unanimously democratic.

The overwhelming democratic defeat In Ohio
mas enectually buried the rag baby so far as
the democratic party is concerned. That
Is apparent from the tone of the organs
OF that party, especially those of the
South, where Its greatest strength lie.
IL mas had the effect also OF strengthening
Senator Bayard's prospect for the democratic
presidential nomination. Southern panerS
which were, during the recent extra session Of
Congress, severely censuring Mr. Bayard because
of his financial principles, and even calling for
his retirement from the head OF the Senate CON-
mittee on finance, now admit that he was right
and join In pronouncing him the best candidate
for President next year. Bayard and Palmer
ex-governor OF nlinoiS have been nominated by

from that state to Texas are joining in the
