COUNTY TICKET.
ONLY HOPE DEMOCRACY HAS

Had the hopeless Progressives
united with the Republicans in the
Second Maine district a Congressman
representing their tariff principles
would have been elected. The result
In that district is what will happen In
every other district where they can
marshal any vote of consequence, and
they will stand confessed before the
country as performing the service of
a Democratic aid society. knowing
that their candidates. have no hope
CT election. they occupy the paradox
cal position of striving to secure the
perpetuation OF things that are wholly
irreconcilable with their party beliefs.
So long as a single Progressive
stands that much viii the Democratic
party be encouraged-to the extent
of half vote. How. then. can Repub-
hcans who are separated from full af-
hiiation with the party by only incon-
sequential differences continue 20 play
the role OF pulling chestnuts out Of the
fire for the monkey? The Democratic
party knows its weakness and depend

important successes 1t may obtain. but

THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair at Wheeling IA,

Standardization Mall.
So far there has been no official dec.
laration that the State Fair would be
dropped. In spite OF the impression
that has gone abroad through the
State. the fair was not a failure-it
was the weather and the attendance
that failed to respond to expectations
and hopes. II would be a humiiiating
confession. indeed. II true, that the
depletion OF the attendance this year
was due solely to the enforced alb.
sence of beer. Such a conclusion is an
insult TO the intelligence and a refiec.
ton on the morals of the communi-
ties from which the fair has been nc.
customed TO largely draw upon for its
attendance figures. There was moth.
ing wrong with the fair itself. II was
bigger and better than ever. Many
things operated to keep down the
usual flow OF patronage to its gates.
First, was the unusually cold and
threatening weather. the same sort
that operated so disastrously against
the Fairmont fair two weeks before.
The Wheeling exposition in former
years has attracted considerable at.
tendance from the interior and river
'front.' OF the State. Through the Tong
arm OF coincidence" the Clarksburg
fair operated the week before the
State Fair. while during the same
week home festivals" were held in
Elkins. Parkersburg and Huntington.
The Intelligencer finds no fault with
these communities for keeping their
people at home by counter attractions.
1t merely points TO these occurrences
As affecting in some measure the usual
crowds that assembled on the Island.
The Charleston Mail is right when
IL says the State Fair has done much
good in West Virginia" Its early sue.
cess stimulated and inspired the or.
ganiZation of similar exhibitions in
the State. Wheeling. lying in an adj
vantageous position. attracted exhib-
its Of the best and FLOODED stock from
the farms Of Eastern Ohio and West.
ern Pennsylvania, which encouraged
the West Virginia farmer to improve
his stock. Il is hoped that IL will con-
hnue In this great educational work.
Just a word about the name State
Fair. The Charleston Mail. a few
days ago. adverted to this. and ex-
pressed the resentment that obtains
IN some parts OF West Virginia that
the designation is held to be too pre-
sumptive on the part of Wheeling.
The Mail mentioned that a state
fair' ought TO be located at a more
central point. and not lodged in an ex.
IRENE end Of the State. like Wheel.
ing. But IL this is a serious objection
the same argument applies TO the To-
cation Of the capital of the State. but
OF which. The Intelligencer assures
the Mail. Wheeling entertains no jeal.
ousies whatever. Perhaps the Wheel.
ing Fair Association would do better
next year by calling IT the Tri-State
Fair. which, after all. would give II a
more appropriate setting.
