CHICAGO, Jan. 10-Today Democratic
administration was inaugurated at Spring
field, this state, and for the first time since
1856 that party is in power through all the
state departments as we'll as in the legis-
lature. 1t was a great day for the "old
wheelhorses," who could remember the
time when it was the regular thing. The
only thought that came up to disturb their
minds was show long will it last'"
Transformation in Kansas.
Twenty-four hours previously, if any
thing a more remarkable scene was
enacted, when with the help of the Dem
ocrats young party in Kansas ousted the
old-time rulers of the state and took
charge. Kansas is still young, but since
her admission to the Union she has been
noted for her Republicanism and for the
majorities thereof. The ceremony took
place in the hall of the house of representa-
tives and was witnessed by probably the
largest crowd that has ever assembled in
Kansas on similar occasions. The hall, in
Guiding both galleries, was packed to its
utmost capacity, and hundreds who came
late We're compelled to stand without the
doors. Breidenthal, the Populist chair
man, remarked when he opened the cere-
monies that the assembly was to inaugu-
rate the first Peoples party on earth.
Peculiarities of the Electoral Vote.
There were some novelties in the electo-
raj voting yesterday, too. There was Illi-
nois casting her total vote for Demo
cratic candidate. There was Ohio casting
one of hers for the same Only one, but
the margin was SO close in the others that
old stagers gasped as they heard the fig
ures: "Great ScOttl where are we att"
There was North Dakota so badly mixed
that her three votes went one to each of
the leading candidates.; would probably
have been one for Bidwell if the state had
four.

Our County Compiimented.

The bloomfield Tin iicdt0r pays
Cape Girardrau county a just COM
pliment in the following language:
I'VE learn from those of our citi-
zens who attended, that the Cape
Girardcau Fair, which came off last
week, was not altogether q success,
owing mainly TO the ~unfavOrable state
of the weather. We are sorry TO
learn this, for the Cape Girardeau
Fair is the pioneer association Of the
kind of this section of the state, and
for many years was the only one for
almost all the counties of southeastern
Missouri, and has been a source OF
much benefit, in encouraging the
raising of improved stock and better
farming generally. OF course, since
the establishment of like associations
in this county,, Dunklin and other
counties in the southeast, the at
tendance al the Cape Girardeau Fair
must he more local than heretofore
but the Association in these countie!
seem 10 he successful and well attend
ed, and we see no cas- why tho
| Cane Girardeau Fair should not b,
successful also. Cape Girsrdeau coun
ty is one of the grandest old countie
lin the state, inhabited by AL indus
trious, thrifty and intelligent people
and we see no reason why she shout,
not have as prosperous o Fair as an.
