THE RAsTsRN MAINE STATE FAIR AND THE
NELSON CASE.

THE RAsTBRN MAINE sTATE FAIR AND THE
NELSON CASE.
Whatever the census of the State may
show a0Hegards population, one thing IL
certai that Is that the breeders and
agricull lAlists Of the old Pine Tree State
have made rapid strides the last decade
This was particularly manifest at the big
shows last year, aud already this present
season, the long list OF entries fer the
Arst big fair, the Eastern Maine State Fair,
to be holden at Bangor, Sept. 2, 3, 4 and
8, tells Of an era Of prosperity, particularly
among the breeders, hitherto unknown in
Maine, and perhaps not duplicate outside
Of Kentucky.
That the management Of the Bangor Fair
is alive to the needs and welfare Of the
breeders Of Maine, first, last and all the
time, is evidenced In the course taken In
the matter Of the Nelson lcryon dispute,
now under consideration by the National
Trotting Association. The Bangor track
will not this year be among the trac
members Of the National Association,
though the rules Of the Association will be
adopted and trottsd under a. heretofore.
The reason for this action can be found In
letter from President J. p. Bass to the
association requesting . temporary rein
statement Of the suspension against Mr..
Nelson, and the reply Of the Secretary of
Association to the effect that such q request
could only be granted by the court of ap-
peal, and AZ there could be no session be-
fore the entries closed, Mr.. Nelson was al
lowed to enter bis young stock for the
races. He has also signiAed his Intention
q giving the stallion Nelson (record 2.l4)
fast mile Governors Day, and with a
good track, the multitude will have an
opportunity Of seeing the fastest mile ever
made by trotting horse In this section Of
the country, BY one Of the famous horses
Of all the world, and Maine horse too. A
horse which trots at 2.14 gait, covers All
average of 80 Ia feet per second, and sucl,
performance Is worth going miles to see.
The Inst Of entries for the races publish.

Some Of our Republican friends may
think that 1t is an of year In politics that
NO great party issues are prominently be-
fore % and that 1t makes little difference
whether we get out q full vote or not
This ID mistake. 1t should not be an
OF year In polictics; there should be NO
OF years. The National party issues are
~ important this year as they ever were,
and the Importance Of getting out full
vote, is Is great this year Is when pres
dental election is to occur. The ques.
lions between parties do not subside one
rear and become of greater import next.
The great principles Of the Republican
party, moral and economical are live
principles aud the Democratic party IL
arrautgn against them, every year aud
every hour and the fight must be a con.
slant one. Therefore our friends should
come to the polls one week from nexl
Monday In full force, with numbers un
diminished.
