Another beautiful day has shone upon
our fair. Although the crowd is scarcely 80
large as yesterday, it is not much smaller.
All vote the fair success. We early,
took stroll about TO see what was here
to be seen. In the Agricultural Hall we
found certain sigus that dame nature has
bestowed her gifts upon our country with
8 lavish hand. A large cornucopia was
pouring out It's wealth OF corn, potatoes,
pumpkins and,all kinds OF vegetables. Some
dried fruit needs special mention. Apples
steam dried we're scarcely changed in color
from when first cnt. Here, too, we found
such delicious golden butter our mouth
was made TO wGleF. The only display oil

here. The firm OF Cowen Bros. had enter.

In Floral Hall we found a display OF

@. Troll & Son had good display Of

The singing Of MeSsrs. KiImsyer, Bow

The fruits here were the finest apples,
peaches, grapes, and plums ol every Vari-
ETY. and size.
Among the farming implements we
could but linger 10 wonder at what eouid

seemed as though the iarmer would only

To W1ikiar Reid:
Returns from country towns show
steady and uniform gains in the Republic
can vote, iustifyinR our conyass IN every
respect. In Portland, Bangor, Bath, Bid
deford, Belfast, and some fifteen or twenty
other large towns we met our principal
loss by means 10 which have already re.
ferred. These instrumentalities did not
roach the county towns, hence Governor
Davis has been coming up splendidly
within the last thirty-six hnurs. We now
feel confident OF his election by the vote
OF the people. Possibly Democratic frauds
will be attempted among the French in
the far off Madawaska region on our ex-
treme Northeast frontier, over 800 miles
from here by existing rontes OF travel.
The French people are Themselves inno-
cent, but they are made the instruments
OF fraud by the genuine Anglo-Saxon
Democrats OF the State-steal variety.
Fraud in Madawaska has often been tried
by Democrats in the past. They were
signally exposed and rebuked as long ago
as 1858 by Hon. James S. Pike, OF the Tn
buulS, appointed special commissioner by
Governor Lott Morrill,. It may become
necessary to order similar investigation
this year. The courage Of the Maine Re-
publicans was never higher than at this
moment, We have elected % members Of
the Senate against o by the Fusionists, and
have the House OF Representatives by o |
large majority. The political power Of
Maine Is permanently wrestled from the |
men who last year dishonored the State.

there seems to be NO reason to imagine

the French plantations along the border

tity, and the policy of hiring out this class of
labor to contractors with the privilege of
tasking the workers, is damaging to both
principals and work people engaged in private
enterprises of similar character. 1t is prop
err and necessary to give employment to Grim
inals and able bodied paupers and Migrants,
mainly for the purpose of teaching them and
accustoming them to some industry but these
occupations should be of simple character
least likely to compete with the skilled indus
try of worthy, self disappearing people, and
they should be principally in the direction of
supplying the personal needs Of the workers
and their class, or in the prosecution of the
public improvements which would be other
wise neglected or left undone.
The profit accruing to the institution from
the sale Of the products Of this labor is insig-
nificant compared with the injury to private
industries The principal benefit is to secure
this advantage against his competitors. One
of the most opposite illustrations of this is
the operation of making patent toy watches
In the House of Refuge. This work is done
by the children who are employed in tend
ing patent machines, by which they acquire
but little knowledge that would be useful in
ordinary mechanical trades. Their labor is
paid for by the contractor at not over twenty
cents per day, though the immense profit at
which the watches are sold would warrant the
payment of higher wages than any manufae-
turing operation with which we are acquaint-
ed,
