HERMANN NOMINATED.

Biermann is on the course again, and it
being his third heat, unless he continues
to increase his pace he will be absolutely
ruled out in the future. The principal
thing in this race will be to get votes.
There are many worse men than Bier
mann. He seems to command the conf
dencc Of his party, and he has always
been able to command good many
Republican votes, and especially among
the Scandinavians. Moreover. last year
many alleged good Republicans took
occasion to secretly knife Gov. Hubbard
on the ground of some old political pre-
judice, and to vote for Bicrmann. If
they should do so this year, it might en-
danger Whites reelection. There is this
about it,, and there is no use in trying to
disguise the fact Biermann is the strong
est man the Democrats could have nsmi-
mated, and it will be necessary for Whites
managers to exercise all their arts OF
peaceful policy and to throw themselves
actively into the breach or Bicrmann will
be elected. We take it for granted that
they will do this, and if so, White should
have two or three thousand majority a,
least. 1t is presidential year, but the
voters must be handled skillfully and
some "soap," must be used to carry Sc
weak and puerile candidate as Milo
White. He was nominated against the
protests and warnings of large and
powerful element in the party, and il
now remains to be seen if that element
will acquiesce and endorse such action at
the polls. Considering the grave national
issues involved, Republicans may deem il
necessary to stand firm. and send man
to congress who at least knows enough
to vote with his party upon roll call. Al
any rate there will be some work to do in
the district. We are likely to see consid
cradle activity on the stump, and if the
signs do not fail, there will be a heap OF
fun for interested spectators, even if not
for the candidates thcmsclves.-Alder

THE FIRST GUN!
Republican Victory in Maine!
RObie Elected Governor by $4,000 to
10000 Majority.

The returns from Maine are of the
most satisfactory character. The Repub-
licans have nearly doubled the majority
given under even the inspiration of the
Garfield campaign, and made an entire
sweep of the state officers, clecting every
congressman and all the state senators.
The house of representatives is over
whelmingly Republican. Many precincts
which have hitherto given Democratic or
Grcenback majorltics now 60 as far the
other way.
Independent Rcpublicanism does not
leave bubble on the surface to mark the
place where it sank. The verdict of
Maine in behalf of the protection of Anne
rican labor is most decisive. Blaine was
serenadcd and responded in a stirring
speech.
It is estimated that the constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale Of Intoxicating liquors is carried
by the unparalleled majority of nearly
10000
The very latest from Maine is IL yester-
days dispatch from Portland, which says:
''The Republicans claim 5000 plurality
for ROBBIE. The Democrats concede 49,
600. All the Republican Congressman
are reelected and the State Legislature
is strongly Republican.

THE MOWER COUNTY FAIR.
SEPTEMBER 10, II AND 10, 1884.
Prospects for a Successful Fair.
Half Freight Rates on Articles for
Exhibition.

The Executive Committee of the Mower
County Agricultural Society are working
with a will to make the coming fair a
success. All good citizens of Austin, all
the farmers about Austin, and throughout
Mower county, should second these
efforts. Let us have something this year
besides talk. Talk is good in its place,
in fact is necessary to help to advertise
and boom the fair, but we want some
thing in addition to talk. We want ac-
ton, energy, work, and a willingness on
the part of every business man and far
mcr to sacrifice two or three dollars in
solid cash for the benefit of the cause.
If this fair is made success by the efforts
of the people, every person who has con-
tributcd will get his money back in the
way of benefits and advantages to him
self and the country.
Don't criticize the officers and their
management. They are undoubtedly
doing the best they can, and if you think
anybody else can do better you will have
the privilege of voting for change when
the annual election comes around. But
now stand by the present officers-good,
bad or Indifferent. We arc glad to say
that we do not hear very much complain
ing on this score. The officers are unu-
sually efficient. But there are some peo-
pie who always complain-arc always
finding fault-with anything and every
thing which they do not have hand in.
1t is for these we are writing.
We venture to say there are not half
dozen farmers in any one township in
Mower county but who have something
in the way of farm products, grain, vege
tables or stock, that they could enter for
exhibition, which would make credita-
bic showing. Every farmer should bring
something for exhibition. Then he should
purchase a membership ticket, costing
only 80, which admits himself, wife and
children into the grounds during the 3
days fair.
The Exhibition Hall has been put in
repair, the grounds cleared of tall grass,
weeds, and brush, and the fair grounds
are nearly ready for business"
This is an agricultural fair, and not
intended for horse racing show, yet there
will be few races of home horses which
will be interesting sport and vary the
interest
We are glad to hear that so far the
Executive Committee feel encouraged
over the prospect. Farmers are quite
generally taking an interest, and a good
many entries Of stock and products of the
farm are probable. The business men of
Austin toe are promising to make fine
exhibits of their goods and wares.
The officers Of the Society are very
anxious to have the people generally pur
chase membership tickets in advance of
the fair. Every farmer and every bust
ness man should attend to this matter at
once. Tickets can be purchased of F. p.
Mcbride, Secretary, or OF any member Of
the Executive Committee.
All kinds of exhibits upon which
freight was paid into Austin, will be
returned to destination free by the Agri-
cultural Society.
r. r. tickets will be sold from neigh
boring points to Austin on the days of
the fair ut a fare and fifth for the round
trip.

Hon. CHARLES j. FoLGER, Secretary of

Hon. CHARLES j. FoLGER, Secretary of
the Treasury, died suddenly at his home
in Geneva, N. Y, last Thursday after
noon, at the age of 66. He is conceded
to have been one of the purest and most
conscientious of public servants. He had
high intellectual qualities which he had
manifested in an eminent degree while on
the New York bench. His biographer
makes the statement as sober fact, that
the overwhelming majority of 1872, 1854
given to Cleveland, over Folger, in the
canvass for Governor of N. Y. in 1882.
"broke his heart, and caused the beginning

SENATOR SABIN has leased a residence
in Washington for term of two years,
thus disproving the foolish story of the
New York Sun that he intended to resign,
and use his influence to have Window
appointed in his place. The yarn was
straight fiction of course, for Sabin is not
the kind of man to give up freely so high
