RIVMIUEBER THAT the Fair will
begin on the 13th of Novemflber.
We hope that Fairfield will be W(l
represented. She has farmers of
equal ability to thoso anlywhere else
in tho Stato ; and thoy should not
hido thoir light un1dor it hushe'l.
Jog WooDnUrF has a diary in
which aro recorded all the bribes
'lo paid to thio logislators to pass
his bills. It is destined to become
as famous as Oakeq Ames' mouor
andum book.
Tim. CIUM]RSTrON munIicipal contest
is growing warm. Tho Democrats
Nsill soon hold -thoir noilnatin"
convention. Major W. W. Salo amd
Dr. A. B. Roso avo t,ho most promi,
nont candidates-both good init.
Tho Radicals are lying low, ticir
only hopo being to co-operato with:
a bolting movement.
The State Senate.
Now that Radicalism is dead
forover in tho State, and tho DoImo
crats havo all throo bn-mehus of
govornmncit, it would 11ot bo ill
appropriato for the rem1aiin1g 1'i i.t
cal State Senators to follow the ex
fmulo of Whittemore, M1\1axwoll malI
Dub Walker, by resigning. There
scoms no doilbt that Taft and
Gaillard, of Charleston, and Na ;lh,
of Richland, will bo ousted this
wintor; and after this, of what
profit will it be to iny of that :-ut.
to remain ? They are simply put
ting thom.-selves up as targets to b:
shot it. Wo would suggest to
Sonator Byrd of this coumLy that lie
could mako himself very popular by
taking the lead in this movuiemd.
His seat in tihe SenatO is of no
earthly use to him, and it confers
no honor og him, for ho there imani
fests his untitness for the olli,.e,
while ho is a good farmer -mid
would dp well if he stuck to his
logitimato business-that of tilling
the soil. By remaining in ollceo Byrd
is only incurring enmity. By ro.
tiring from politics, lho can m1ahu
friende b)y proving hlimself a good
citizen. Wlhat will lhe do?
A Republican Waterloo.
Th o Republicans were dIisgraco'
fully beaten in Ohio on Tuesday.<
Scarcely a fragment is left of theiro
once sorriedl columns. The Pre,,i
dent is dleserted by his own State:
while Senator Stanley Matt hewvs, of
whom HO little wats known before
last winter, and so nmuchi haos been
heard since thon, is a magnificent
ruin. Republicans, in accoutin m g
for this dlefont, make thme poor ex~
(cuse that Hayes hast1 destroycoed hei
p)arty, and that uncompro maising'
Republicans have gi veni hii im his
rebuke. This is nonsensso. H-tyesi
has merely carried out the platform
of the convention which nominated
him. He saw that sectional strife
was ended. In spite -of the frantic
howls of Blaiine and Morton and
Butler, and others of that ilk, who
waved the bloody shirt with uni
paraIlolodt vehemence, and wagedI
the bitterest campjaignA that has yet
dlisgracedl American polities, the
Republican party was beaten last
Novomber b)y a quarter -of a million
votos. and reuitdby a million
When Hyswscutdi,h
ii saw thatd the odRadical p)arty was
dead, that tile old howls would
never again win. Ho had the
'wisdom arnd the decency to inauga
it ~ rate a now doepar-ture, which alone
could save his party. The old
malcontents were too besotted and
bigoto4e see or acknowvledge this,
but cridt that he was killing the
party, or, which was of mo.re im...~
portanco, was politically destroying
thorn. *Noit they have the im
pudence to aasort that the Demo
cratic victory in Ohio is a. vinidica
tion 6of' themselvos ; and they on-.
deavor to make Hayes bear the onus
of thoir own misdeeds.
The colmtry, however, will not be
misled. The mlnnoi of the Ohio
euct.ion is plii. The peoplo are
disgusted with Ridicalisim, its
frauds, its arrogance allo its 1heft
They have cu,ti lo(;.;e fromll the :II 1i
