Watson stated that since the recent good news from Maine the republi can backbone bail stiffened , the republican majority there being twice as great as it was two years ago. J. "W. Pierman followed with n characteris tic speech. Ho urged a school bouso cam paign and speeches from the farmers. Mr. Richards ? ald that ho had heard the nl- llnnco had advised all the farmers In tlmt movement not to attend any meetings excepting those of their oivn party. Tom Majors next appeared , Ho had lust made u tear of the stuto and reported a splendid outlook for the republican party. Ho prophesied a splendid republican victory. H. M. Dushnell advocated unity In action. Tom Hcntou said that the republican press , fought the hattles of the party without pay for years , nnd ho thought tley should v dlcttito nnd not bo dictated to. From hi scon- fcrenco with different farmers be was satis- lied there would ho a general desertion from the ntilatico ranks before elec tion any. The farmers were discovering that the whole thing was a democratic tilck. Captain Hill , also , was satlstlcd that the ' republicans were winners. Air. Klmmcl of the McCook Tribune re ported a favorable outlook for the state ticket in his section. He Intimated that McICciglian was mesmerizing the farmers In tlwt section f by his eloquence and was promising to cancel c fttrin mortgages and Insuring good crops in case lie was elected. A. G. llarlan of Frontier county reported n gradual desertion from the alliance lanks of th s republicans temporarily led astray. M. A. Brown of Kearney stated that the niuin disaffection among the farmers in Iiii section was on the linunco question. Many of them had gone daft on that point , think ing that somehow they might get perpetual loans on their farms ut 'J portent. .Judge Mason stilted that there worothroo things atlssiiiiln the present slate campaign tbo tr.mspDrtation , tlio financial and the labor questions. He thought that particu larly on the llnimeo question the republican * were sound. "Any method for getting cheap money , " said IIP. "is a cunning device of Bcoundroh to rob the poor laboring man. " Mr. Humphrey , candidate for hind commis sioner , and Mr. Allen , candidate for secre tary of state , and a number of other penile- men made oncou raging speeches aud offered several valuable suggestions. Jlr. Kosswater suggested that a grand cen tral rally be held either at Omaha , Lincoln or Fremont.

Thcrdls no accurate wny of determining thonumbcrof people ho V' s the gates , , but It is certain that the grounds at Lincoln never contained more people Irmn today , Tie actual attend ance was probably between 50OOOtmdCOOCW. It is a matter of general remarlt that tlio sun always shines on the state fair , The dates are different cich year , but the ele ments never Interfere with tuo big show. If the good luck continues It Is cxpectcl that tomorrow's attendance will overtop today's fully one-third. The grand trades display in the cvciiinir lias been cxtenslrely adver tised nnd this will probably dra-w extra thou sands to thoci 15 * . Thursday is generally a big day , anyway , Seldom are there more fakes gathered to- pet he rat one time thun arenow collected on the fair grounds , Beginning -\vlth the laby rinth , wuercla one may , for a | taltr.v dime , enjoy the privilege of losing oneself , and end- Ins with the man with tha nlckel-in-the-slot mehlcc , there is an Interminable array of catch-penny and catch-dlmo schemes. At every turn and on every corner there is a raouey-maWiiK device of some Kind , and they all seem to bo doing a good business. Tbcro are fully half a dozen sideshows \vltU the imiiilf.it women , lean men aud freaks gen erally , There are anatomical "museums for the men only" and machines which turn out for maidens a picture of their future husbands.

Thereare hobby horses and velocii > edcshorscs and donkevs. Then there are lung tea tcrs , weight machines , prize nackagcs , shooting pullerles , etc. , etc. .And the strangest part of It all Is that they are making money. The veriest fake of them all rakes in tho'shek-ls by the hundred ? . 'Jho crop of unsophisti cated Is very prolific. When people fo to a state fair they expect to see big ; pumpkins , line horses , fat enttle and hogs , agricultural machinery , Jrult , etc. It is not surprising that not very much inter est is taltcn in the exhibits of needle vwk and so-called tljie art Even mercantile hall , which contains a representative displav of mercnandUo attractively arranged , receives but little attention. The crowd wants tosco somethingelse , A week ago It was the opinion oC the board of managers that the live stock ex hibit would not DO as strong numerically as in vcars previous. When tlio fair opened the secretary thought that the exhibit \vouldbcsmallcrbutmuch liner than ever oeforo. Today It is tbo expressed opinion of the fair managers that as regards quality the show is vastly superior to last year's and that It is equally as large , The collection of heavy draft horses is un usually line , both in quality and quantity.
