OFFICE THE MAIN THING.

The boys over at the court house,
Carey, Criswell and Kruger think they
are going to have lots of fun this cam
paign. Kruger says the German town
ships are all solid to man, Carey says
the convention was the most remark
ably harmonious affair that he ever saw
and that his Irish friends are tickled to
death over his nomination. Criswell
laughs in his quiet pious way and says
the only thing that bothers him is the
prohibition County ticket which he de-
clares, with sarcastic grin, will draw
largely from the democratic ranks. The
boys may wake up in November to find
that it is pretty chilly weather for pro-
fessional office-seekers and that they
had better be looking out for some
work" to do in January.
1t is only when speaking of the Coun.
ty platform that gloom comes over
their faces. Carey says that platforms
are Just for fun" anyway. that he has
not read the platform yet and that the
offices are the main doctrine of demo-
cracy. We advised John to take the
platform plank at time as an emetic.
1t would clear out his system and might
do no harm if he was careful MOTTO
read but one plank at a time. Seriously
we do not believe there is man on the
democratic ticket who will stand up in
defense of the platform on which he is
running. People would doubt their
sanity if they did. 1t is too bad that
the intelligent democracy of this county
is forced to go before the people with
platform which they cannot defend and
are forced to the admission that the
offices are all they care for in politics.

ABOUT THE FAIR.

ABOUT THE FAIR.
The Bulletin is in such vicious
mood that it can not say good word
for any thing in which the REVIEW has
taken an interest. One Of the VIC
tins of its malice is the County fair. 1t
says that the fair was failure, the
people were glad when it was over and
also that the Great and Only held the
fair. 1t is true the REVIEW as one Of
the business institutions of >Denison
did all in its power to help the fair and
make it success. We believe that in
spite of the financial embarassmento on
the last day of the fair, which made it
impossible for the entire program to be
carried out, that the people are satisfied
that this was the best fair ever held in
the County. 1t is the policy of the Re-
VIEW to aid in every possible UNDER
taking for the benefit of Denison and
Crawford county. We do not lay back
In the traces and find fault, but go
ahead and help all that we can. Mr.
hemming was the Secretary of the fair
and upon him the responsibility largely
rested. lie did the very best possible,
and is deserving of the thanks Of the
community instead of sneers and in.
uendoes. We regret that anv newspa-
per in Denison should have SO little
pride in its home town. The fact is
that Denison did an almost unparal-
leled thing, it raised large amount of
money for the purpose of giving free
fair to its friends and patrons. The
Tolbert combination. one of the best Of
Its kind was secured, and every thing
possible was done to give the people a
good time. The receipts were some-
what overestimated and number of
business men went down into their
pockets a second time to help make up
the deficit. II the fact that the Re-
VIEW was one Of these and increased
its first subscription fifty per cent,
makes it the Reviews fair, we will ac-
cept the title with thanks. 1t was not
the REVIEWS fair, it belonged to the
business men of Denison aud was a
credit to them. The newspaper down
the street which is supported by the
charity of certain rich politicians did
not subscribe cent and is therefore in
good position to criticise the work Of
others. Below is the list of those who
helped pay for the fair and whose
guests the people were:

The company is said to hold $5,OOO,-

of which is said to be in Omaha, and
which has proven a loss.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 26.-The New

its business here is light, its losses, if
any, small, and all its property here is
in good condition and is we'll worth its
price.

Great things are promised from the

new and surprising species are claimed
to have been produced. The cross be-

results in a new aud peculiar grain Of
permanent type; while comparatively
useless plants are, by judicious cross.

Lots of corn and fodder out in the

If by reason of drought or other

rotation rather than attempt to reseed

The last Louisiana oat crop, the
best in the history of the state, was

crop should encourage farmers to SOW
