County Fair Democratic Meeting and
iorchIight Proeeasion-Re.union Notes
Local Notes.
WELLsBuRe, September 10.
Special Correspondence Of the lntelligenesr.
The exhibit Of horses was not 30 large
this year as at former fairs. Sheep, cat
lie and hogs were more largely represent.
ed than heretofore, and Of a superior
quality.
The Floral Hall was nicely arranged, a
larger variety than heretofore on exhi.
bition.
Mechanics Hall also had fine display.
In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and farm ma.
rhinsry there was very large display,
former exhibitions.
The attendance on the grounds yester.
day was larger than usual on the second
day efihe fair.
Among the displays most prominent
from Wheeling was that Of Messrs. Rich.
ards and Bailie, being an exhibit OF white
bronze monuments, tombstones and
stAtuary, which attracted much attention
and received the highest awards.
All In all, the fair was q success.
The Democracy had what they call a
grand blowout last night. NTorchlight
procession and speeches by Ex-Governor
Jacob and ]. II. Good. They had their
drum corps, Cannonsburg brass band and
Vass' Wheeling band.
The procession was credttable but the
meeting was not such boom as the faith
fol would make Us believe, Conspicuous
hack OF the speakers stand, stretched
from the columns oil the Court House,
was banner reading, "Haye you heard
from Maire." People generally wonder
why the Democrats were jubil&ting over
The news from Maine. They enthuse on
slight provocation.
There was fag and banner presenta-
tion at the residence OF ex-senator Tarr.
The presentation speech was made by l.
o. Wright, late Republican candidate for
the nomination for prosecuting attorney.

Since the Republicans have abandoned
every othe point of controversy in the
pending cnvass except the renewed sub
jugation { the South, since they have
thrown aisle all other banners in order to
rally aroud the bloody shirt, the ques-
ton becomes interesting how far this old
and threabare mantle can now be sue
cessful.
Fifteen years after the civil war was
brought close, and while the men
who were disfranchised for participation
in the REBELLION have, with less than half
a dozen EXCEPTIONS, been restored to their
full politial rights, is it practicable to re-
vive the PASSIONS Of the war and to make
the election of the next President turn
upon hotility to the South, and upon
that alon?
This lisa question Of much interest. A
conclusive answer would appear to be re-
turned b the votes cast last week in the
State of Maine. There the bloody shir,
was dub waved. No effort was spared
to kindlt anew the flame of sectional ami
mostly. No argument was neglected
and no motive that could give strength
to such passion was left without its appeal
Yet the nd of it all was that the attempt
proved afailure. The people are attend
ing the interests of peace, and they arr
not disposed to keep corrupt and fraud
ulent patty in power any longer because
there vas a rebellion fifteen or twent.
years ago.
Meanwhile, it will be very interesting
to learn what the people of Indiana ant
Ohio hsve to say upon the same subject
They will be heard from about three
weeks hence.
