The State Fair.

Col. Clark W. Thompson, of Wells, Mimi,
president of the State Agricultural society,
is in the city, stopping at the Metropolitan.
A GLOBE reporter encountered Col. Thomp-
son at the Metropolitan yesterday morning
and of course wanted to know all about the
State fair lately held at Rochester, and was
gratifed to learn that the predictions of the
GLOBE in regard to the success of the State
fair were more than realized. Before Col.
Thompson left Rochester, every premium,
every purse offered for the races and every
bill for expenses were paid in full, and in adj
dition, $4,000 were paid upon the old in
debtedness, leaving in the treasury of the
society about $500 for future use. In view
of this gratifying exhibit, Col. Thompson is
excusable in indulging in a little pardonable
pride, which he modestly claims belongs to
his fellow officers of the society, who he says
did all the work. His associates and the
people of the State, however, will insist in
giving Col. Thompson the credit which is
honestly due him.

II is amusing to note the comments of the
Republican papers on Maine. The day be-
fore the election they claimed from six to
fifteen Thousand majority. The day after
election they were almost surprised into ST.
lence. The second day after they obtained
breath to say that the result in Maine was of
no consequence, but whatever it was had
been bought. The third day they began to
hope that the back counties would help them
ont with bogus returns and concluded that
Maine amounted to something after all.
This morning they will be in cave of
gloom again and only have the howl of
Blaine to re-echo that there have been
frauds in Maine for thirty gears.

REASONS FOR THE MAINE DEFEAT.
The explanations of the Republican rout
in Maine for such it will continue to be
regarded whatever may be said to the con-
trary-are almost as numerous as Republican
newspapers and Republican orators. Every
body seems anxious to prove that they know
all about tho cause Of the disaster, and to
prove that it was not much of shower
anyhow. It is not unlikely, either, that the
returning officers in some of the towns not
yet heard from are practicing some Of the
tricks which the Republicans seem to I'M
derstand SO well for the purpose
of defeating the will of the peo-
pie, for some papers are already claiming
that the fusion candidates lack several hun
dred of the requisite majority. This trick
may prove successful, as it did before, but
if 30 it will react upon the party attempting
it in the elections that are yet to be held.
It Is decidedly comical to note some of the
reasons assigned. One person alleges that
the fusionists were enabled to win by q
liberal use of money and whisky, asserting
that Republicans were bribed by the whole
sale by one or the other of these articles.
This does not speak very well for the hon
esty and .sobriety of the party that
assumes to possess all the virtue and in
telligence extant. Another attributes the
unlocked for result to Samuel j. Tildon's
peculiar tactics, claiming to have informa-
ton that he had directed the campaign in
Maine for the past few weeks, and had
been conducting it in the style of still
hunt. There are scores Of other explaDa-
tions offered, but none of them seem to be
correct except in degree.
The fact seems to have been overlooked
entirely by these sages that the people of
Maine as we'll as in other parts of tie
Union have been making steady progress in
political science during the past few years.
They appreciate the fact that the war of the
rebellion is long since over, and that the
issues upon which it was fought should
also be relegated to the domain of
the past. They appreciate the fact that the
country can only be prosperous and infuen-
tial by being united in sentiment, and they
have come to the conclusion that instead of
waving the bloody shirt at the South they
will extend to the people of that section
the right hand of fellowship, and endeavor to
promote that harmony and good will that
can alone make people great and happy.
They want no more sectionalism, no more
Haunting of dead issues before the public.
The change SO ardently desired by the peo-
pie can only be brought about by sending
the Republican party to the rear and giving
the Democrats chance.

The Democrats of the First Congressional
district are moving in the right direction in
calling their local and legislative conventions
at as early day as they can be got together,
in such manner as to ensure full represen-
tation of all the parties interested. Nothing
will contribute more to q Democratic success
than thorough organization, and this re-
auires time and united effort. There now re-
main but six weeks before the election in
which work can be done, but even in this
short time an organization may be effected
which shall succeed in RELOCATING the barna-
le-sand-hauler to the shades of private life,
and send an honest and capable man, Hon.
Henry B. Wells, to represent the district in

country in the hands of party that will en-
force economy and honesty in every depart
ment. Something must be done, and the
people are determined that now is the time
for making the changes.

SpR1Na VALLEY, Mimi, Sept. 10, 1885,
Messrs. Burlingame and Seymour spoke to
about 100 people, in the Opera house, in this
place, on Wednesday evening, and about
half of these were ladies and boys. It was
the smallest gathering ever seen at politi
cal meeting in this town. There was no en-
thusiasm in the audience and but little in the
speakers. The meeting was fiat failure,
and every one went away disappointed.
Fully one third Of che audience went away
during the speaking, many of them the most
radical Republicans in town. The ladies,
especially, were indignant at the profanity
of the speakers, and to think they did not
say anything of consequence for the Repub-
lican party, their mission, what they pro-
posed to do, or what they had done. They
offered no excuse why they should be kept
in power, simply did nothing but arraign
and abuse the Democratic party, calling them
liars, thieves, towards, vagabonds, rascals,
hypocrites and other vile names, and hold
log up large piece of hemp, said if the
people of the North had used more of this
hemp and less persuasion, the Republicans
would not be fighting the Democratic party
this fall; that if the Democrats got into
power this fall. they would raise more hell
than pork and potatoes; that they killed old
Horace Greeley, and would kill Gen. Han
cock: that when Greeley found what hot
bed of traitors and low-lived outcasts he had
got into, he died of broken heart, and
Hancock would do the same. The Demo-
Gratis ought to be- indicted and hung for kill
ing Horace Greeley.
The bloody shirt has never been waved in
this town as it was waved last evening in
trying to make the voters see that there was
but one man who should represent the First
district in Congress, and that man was Dun
