SPRINGFIELD FAIR.
Fair Weather-Large Attendance
Good Racing-Fine Exhibitions in
Floral and Agricultural Halls.

-
Tuesday and Wednesday were two de-
lightful fall days tor the 23d annual fair
given by the Springfield Agricultural So
ciety at Riverside park, and many express
sions of praise were heard from those at
tending from adjoining towns.
The electrics gave special service and
crowded cars were the rule, and many
teams were kept between the square and
the entrances to the fair grounds. The
streets were very lively with bicycles, cars
and carriages, while many walked the
short distance.
Floral hall was filled with many attrac-
tons the merchants improved the oppor-
tunity to display goods, and the fine needle
work on exhibition was greatly admired,
while the painting and fancy work of all
kinds was not overlooked. The exhibit in
agricultural hall has never been excelled.
The fruit and vegetables of Gill Brothers
were the admiration Of all, both for quantity
and quality, not to mention many others
who generously contributed to the success
of this department. The show of stock,
too, was considered one of the best in the
history of the assoc iation. Perhaps the
most unique attraction as we'll as the most
amusing was the trained pigs with their
drol tricks.
Music was furnished by the Claremont
band interspered with selections rendered
by the drummer boy of the Rappahannock.
The races are always specially attractive
feature OF the fairs and they too, were very
satisfactory, the racing Tuesday receiving
special commodation. The base ball game
between Chesters and Springfelds gathered
large and enthusiastic number about the
diamond. and be it known to all that the
game was won by Springfield with score
of to and was considered an unusually
interesting contest.
Indeed the Springfield Agricultural as
sociation may be well pleased at the sue
cess that has again crowned its efforts.
These annual meetings gather in many peo-
pie of this and neighboring towns who
meet and mingle and derive therefrom
much social enjoyment and amusement, ard
Springfield is always pleased to greet the
friends that come and hope that even more
will find it to their advantage to be present
next year. Below is given the races:

Dewey.

Proud old Vermont! thy Dewey flags
Are waving everywhere;
The mountains symbol thy great fame,
The rivers ripple forth thy name,
And grain fields waving there.
The eagle flies from eyrie high
To reach the ear of heaven;
The birds behind their leafy screens,
Sing joyously, "The Philippines,
To Dewey they are given"
Twas marvellous how Dewey swept
The Spanish fleet away;
1t was the Lords right arm that gave
To him the victory.
Vermont may claim him as her son,
May claim him by his birth;
But he, beloved of all the land,
On pinnacle of fame doth stand,
Admired CT all the earth.
The surf roars on Manila's sands
A sea song of the fight,
And every language will repeat
How Dewey swept the Spanish fleet,
Like cyclone, out of sight.

DANF0RDS VISIT

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
Steubelville. o.. October Coon
gresham Danfords visit 10 this city
on Wednesday last had just the oppo-
site result from what was intended.
The "OId Man" thought to come here,
and by a Jolly and appeals to party
prejudice break up the strong oppo-
sition to his candidacy that has ex-
listed for some time. Before he had
been in the town very long he felt that
he was not being greeted as cordially
by the old soldier boys as In former
days. Several told him tney could not
support him and Danford said I'm sor-
ry," and concluding not to risk any
more chilly receptions, he retired to
the office OF the county chairman and
"holed up" for four hours, going from
there straight TO the train. a Repub-
lican committeeman said that night:
"Danford is heavy load to carry. and
there is no defense for him against the
attacks being made on him, and the
old man had better lay low till cleo
ton" The very presence Of Danf0Td
here stirred up animosities. and men
who were reticent In speaking of their
opposition are now working openly
against him. The soldiers and the
Sons OF Veterans, the colored voters.
the Christian Endeavorers and Hepub-
licans by the score are arrayed against
him. While here Danford submitted to
an interview by a reporter Of the
News, Republican paper, and be aaid:
"There was no doubt that due 10 So
we're sickness last winter. Gen. Alger
was not the person to be at the head
of the War Department, as the sick
ness had affected him so that be could
not remember to-day what he said
Yesterday" Danford had this to
say Of Charles Grosyenor. the political
calculator OF Athens county, In the
course Of his interview: that Gross
yenor will be the administration cam
didate for Governor next year. but az
the game time he ncped Otherwise, AZ
he did not thbak great deal Of the
Sage Of Athens. but he might be aide-
tracked for Nash.

If q Democrats Senate is elected. he
matter will be settled at once and the
right of the people to be represented
in the Legislature will be secured.
In his persistent refusal to obey the
plain requirements of the law, the Gov
ernor takes refuge behind the consti-
tutional provision that each House
shall be the Judge of the election and
qualification of its own members, and
says that he cannot issue a writ of cleo
ton in case Of this kind without in
truding upon the province Of the legis-
lative branch of the government To
Show the fallacy Of this position it is
pnly necessary to observe that the va
FANCY, If there be any, certainly occur
red in the recess of the Legislature
lnd that the act prescribing the duties
of the Governor necessarily implies
that he shall decide the question Of
vacancy before issuing the writ, this
decision, of course, being subject to ul-
innate revision by the proper House Of
the Legislature. If his position that he
cannot act till the Legislature meets
be correct, then the provision of the
Act is practically a nullity, since after
The Legislature meets he no longer has
anything whatever to do with the
nl1GCf1Qn
that enough appointments of this kind
had been made, with other casualties.
to break the quorum of the Senate,
how would it be organized? In the alb
sence OF a quorum, it certainly could
not declare any vacancies, and no pro-
cess OF the Senate could compel the at
tendance of officers of the United States
army for the purpose of making a
quorum or for any other reason, even
If they happened to be in the United
States or in West Virginia, instead Of
Porto Rico or the Philippines. Nor
can 1t be supposed that national mill
tary operations would be suspended to
allow these officers to attend the meet
ing of the Legislature if they were will
ing to come. The Governors conduct is
utterly inexcusable, but the only sure
remedy appears to be for the people to
show by their votes that the right of
representation, and the interests of the
entire State, shall not be put in jeop-
ardy Or sacrificed to the ambition of
any one man to be elected to the United
States Senate.

FOURTH DISTRICT.
WILL SENATOR ELKINS EXPLAIN?

Parkersburg Sentinel.
He (SeAator Elkins) said in substance
that he had no private car himself, but
that when he travelled he usually bor-
rowedl Governor McCorkle's, John Me-
Graw's, ]. N. Camdens, or Henry G..
Davis car. As fact, which no one
kGows better than Senator EIkins.
neither John McGraw nor Governor
McCorkle is now, or ever was the own
er, or interested in the ownership, of a
private car. AS fact that particular
allusion Of the Senator's referred to
B. & o. private cars which are loaned
to him without charge, and it would
be contrary to human nature to think
that the obligation was not recognized
and reciprocated when Congress was
asked to do something for the corpora
ton. The car which the Senator re-
ferred to as belonging to Henry G..
Davis is the property of the West Vir-
ginia Central & Pittsburg Railroad, of
which corporation Senator Elkins is the
principal owner and director. and per-
haps its president. In law, and in
words. the suppression of the truth Is
as much a crime as the relation of a
story that is not true. And the Sena-
tor did not tell 1t all about private cars,
he only told part. If, therefore. he
would practice deception on the people
In an insignificant matter like this what
would be the degree Of his deception In
case there was ANYTHING at stake, or
when It was to bis interest to deceive?

MORE SPANISH WORK.
Tried to Get Into Magazine at
Fort st. Philip.

Atlanta: Ga, June 9.-An at
tempt was made on the night of
May 20 to enter the magazine at
Fort st, Philip on the Mississippi,
50 miles below New Orleans. In
endeavoring to apprehend the
two miscreants the sentiucis who
challenged them was struck on
the head by a bar of iron in the
hands Of q hidden ally and serious
ly injured, The news of the af-
fair did not become known until
today.
About half past > on the morn
ing of May 20 the sentinel on the
parapet Of the Tenth battery
heard a suspicious noise in the
direction of the magazine and on
creeping up to the house saw two
men trying to file the locks. He
challenged them but they ran,
and. although fired at, managed
to escape, one of the men sending
a shot through the sentry's sleeve
as he left. The sentinel pursued
the two men and as he neared
the steps leading to the landing a
third man stepped out and struck
him with a bar of iron telling him
to the ground. The guards
aroused by the shooting came on
the scene hastily but the three
men escaped in boat down the
river.

NO GROG OUR NAVY.
Nevertheless Uncle Sans Senmen
Are u Match For Any Nation.

The practice of serving out a
ration OF grog daily to United
States man of wars men was dis
continued many years ago. II
was found to be a bad scheme.
While most of the men were able
to use the rum IN moderation, it
was found that there were many
of the bluejackcts in whom the
service of ration of liquor only
served to stimulate an appetite
for more, and who. after imbibin~
the grog, would shit the beach,"
embark upon sizeable sprees and
get into scrapes both ashore and
aboard ship when they returned
to duty more or less shaky. When
these facts were satisfactorily
proved the serving out of grog to
United States man of. wars men
was discontinued. Sailors i'm all
of the others of the worlds great
navies still receive their daily
grog.
The fact probably does not
prove anything, but the writer,
who has seen man-of wars men
of all nation on tumultuous shore
liberty in quite few ports of the
world, has yet to see French.
Italian or Spanish bluejacket
thrash a British man of.war's man
i'll fair stand up fight, such as
heavy weather men of the navy
are bound to mix up in when en-
gagged in hitting the beach. The
reason why the fact probably
proves nothing is that the Ameri-
can man-of wars man, who gets
no grog at all aboard his fighting
packet, also invariably contrives
to chew up his Latin antagonist
in a naval uniform.
