THE STATE FAIR.
We have received the premium list
Of the 9th annual fair of the Minncso-
IA State Agricultural Society, to be
held 1T their grounds midway between
the cities of ST. Paul and Minneapolis,
Sept. 7th to 18th, inclusive.
Permanent grounds have been secur-
ed midway between the two cities.
Ramsey county donated 200 acres and
the State Legislature appropriated
$4,000 toward the erection of suita-
bls buildings. The buildings, the So
ciety say, are large and commodinus,
and the Fair this year bids fair To lie
the best and most satisfactory ever
held in the State.
If the two cities have overcome their
local jealousirs far enough to unite on
one fair, inste,d of pulling against
each OF her with two separate fairs, we
may hope FOR great displays and great
success in future for the Minnesota
State Fair.

The Review takes this opportunity to
return his sincere thanks to his fellow
citizens, irrespective Of party, for the
generous cordiality with which the an
nouncement has been received. Also,
local and state contemporaries and
many friends in this and other states
who have extended their kindly con :
9ratulations. Should it he the good
fortune of the writer to assume the
trust, it will be his highest aim and
purpose to 50 discharge its duties as to
merit this expression of confidence and
esteem.-MankatO Review.
It is the natural and fitting thing
that q large share of the offices should
fall to the Democrats under Demo
cratic administration. And of all the
Democrats in the state, we believe
there is not one more worthy or more ca
able of filing any ordinary federal Of
fec than John G. Wise, editor of thu
Aankato Review. AS Democratic
editor he ranks among the first in thu
state. and in the ten or twelve year:
during which we have read his paper
Wo have found him always able, ia II
and gontiemanly in debate and per
s0nally a man Of superior character
and usefulness.
