THE CATTLE.

| Reported for Democrat by II. h. Hammond.
An old farmer made the remark that
nothing looked 81 much like property as
good yoke OF oxen. II that Is true,
and il surely i. oxford County has con
siderable property that il has right To
be proud of. We found more oxen and
steers than ever before.
We will first look at the town teams.
-Four towns, Paris, Norway, Buckfeld
and Greenwood, had full teams, all nice,
heavy cattle. In the Buckfield team one
pair owned by John Wood, feet In
girth, were especially fine cattle, equal
10 any on exhibition in Oxford County.
In the Paris team was n pair Of Hol-
stems owned by Cummings 4 Scribner
Of Paris Hin that were nearly as large
a. the Wood oxen, and attracted much
attention.
Besides the town teams there were
many nice oxen entered for matched
oxen, beef oxen, workers, etc.
Ellis Whitman of Buckield was there
with pair OF i-yesr-olds, : feet, 1
inches. Harold +. Whitman OF Buck
field, boy about 10 wears old, had fine

sented, with cattle by Will Stearns,

The consolation race was by far the
best of the day. The five starters were
pretty well punched in the first heat but

W., the latter winning the heat by a
neck with the former gaining on him.

A DRIZZLY DAY.

| Thursday, the third day OF the falr
opened with dubious and uncertai,
look for weather. Ii was liable TO rain
IL wasn't likely To rain to-day. Better
put il over till tomorrow. There WASH
any reason TO expect better weather to
morrow. These were few OF thu
opinions expressed. Finally drizzlins
shower sifted down, and about O'Clock
the trustees decided TO postpone thu
days program until Friday. As some
two hundred had already bought tickets
and gone in, there was somewhat com
plicated condition Of affairs.
In view Of the circumstances, il wa:
finally decided TO keep the gates oper
through the day, TO have the band in the
afternoon, and give special purses for 8
drawing match and horse race, To furnish
entertainment. The attendance for the
day was not more than seven or eight
hundred.
THE SPECIAL RACE.
This race was trotted with the rain
sitting down much of the time, the
horses splashing deep in the "sposh" on
the stretch, and the drivers covered
with mud from head to foot. But the
crowd enjoyed it, everybody was good
natured, and the drivers declared that
the mud was just deep enough; and
furthermore, it was a genuine horse race,
one Of the most interesting of the fair,
with two OF the prettiest finishes ever
seen on the track.
There was an accident that looked
serious inst before this race started
While in front of the stand, Nellie Bly,
reared, the sulky wheels rolled forward,
and she went over, crushing her driver,
j. NJ. Johnson Of Canton, under her.
johnson was carried into stall and a
physician was called, who found that no
bones were broken, though the man was
severely bruised. Another driver was
put up, and the race went on.
Six horses started. In the first heat
Philip A. took the pole before reaching
the quarter, and held it, though hard
pressed by the others, all six coming
under the wire In one solid bunch.
The second was trOtted In bunch
right around, with total of two breaks
for all the horses. This heat was won
by JaymOnt, who also took the third,
and won the fourth quite easily. The
interest in this heat was in the contest
for second place between Little Nick
and Nellie W., who trotted side by side
throughout the mile.

Almost $4,000
the Republican PIu-
raIity in Maine.
The Free Silver Idea Finds
No Encouragement.
Oxford County Contributes 1888 Of
the Plurality.

The result of last Mondays election in
Maine is an unprecedented Republican
victory, beyond the widest estimates of
anybody. Before election, the estimates
varied from 5000 to 10000; nobody
said 5O,OUO, but the result comes very
close 10 il.
The result in Maine cannot be SO
twisted or explained away that it will not
be encouragement TO the free silver
idea. which has been the leading issue
in the campaign. The friends OF a
sound dollar NAV take new courage for
the fight against Organism, aud have
increased hope of its final overthrow in
November.
Briefly summarized, the result of the

THE CAUSES OF IpLENEss,

Mr.. Bryan. in his Chicago speech on
Labor Day. referred TO idleness As the
cause Of the increase Of crime, ANY
legislation, then. actual or proposed,
which causes idleness among men who
but for its influence would be at work,
must be held responsible for whatever
increase OF crime we behold. In this
view Of the facts, 1t is Democratic
Legislation. actual and proposed. on the
tariff and on the silver question, that
is filing our roads with tramps and
highwaymen. u towns with burglars,
and pickpockets, making business for
our criminal courts, filling our jails and
penitentiaries and ripening fruit for
the gallows.
However calamitous the effect of the
Wilson bill in curtailing the field Of
employment for our workingmen. it is
quite certain that the threatened free
coinage measure has done immensely
more than any tariff changes to put a
stop to industrial enterprise and to
check the flow OF capital into the pur-
suits that furnish employment for
workingmen. Both together include all
the causes which have shut up our
mills and factories or reduced their
forces TO the lowest limit. For all the
enforced idleness in the country they
responsible. and Mr.. Bryan repre-
sents them both. As the champion Of
free trade and the accredited represen-
tative OF the cause Of free coinage he
stands for the two things which, in
many different degrees, have brought
upon the country all the calamities II
has been suffering for the past three
years. And when the hundreds Of
of men who cannot find any
work at living wages inquire the rea-
sons for their misfortunes they will not
De long in finding out that Bryan rep
not only all the evils that be-
ide them, but a hundredfold more ca
antilles in the future.

Daniel Webster's speech, delivered in
January. 1894, under circumstances sim
liar to those which now confront us,
will bear continual quoting. He ex-
claimd:
The natural hatred OF the poor
against the rich" The danger Of a
moneyed ~aristocracy" A power as
great as that resisted by the Reyolu-
tom A Call to a new Declaration Of
Independence" Sir, l admonish the
people against the object Of outcries
like these. l admonish every indus
trious laborer in the country to be on
his guard against such decisions. l tell
him the attempt is to play of his pas
sions against his interests, and to pre-
vail on him. in the name OF liberty.
to destroy all the fruits Of liberty; in
the name Of patriotism to injure and
aflict his country, and in the name Of
his own independence to destroy that
very independence and make him a
beggar and a slave. Has he a dollar?
He is advised TO do that which will de-
stroy half its value. Has he hands to
labor? Let him rather fold them and
sit still than be pushed on by fraud
and artiice to support measures which
will render his labor useless and hope
less.
