vors having the fair next year, an J of
keeping it open at least ten days,1 and
if possible to secure the requiste aid
from the state, he will favor; a. two
weeks' session. .
President Downing believes that the
state legislature 1 ahoald give a mater
ially increased ' appropriation for ths
fine stock exhibits this year, and should
make it possible for the fair board to
offer the best and largest premiums that
have ever been offered in a like ease. ?Ie
calls attention to several faets in rela
tion to the state fair and its work in
Oregon, and says that the state fair in
Oregon has made possible for the many
fine stock premiums, that have wen
taken by Oregon herds at the World's
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in, St.
Louis. The state fajr has steadily aid
ed in increasing internet in good stock
in tbis state, and there is no doubt at
all that it in in a large. measure entitled
to the credit of having caused the com
petition which has led many stockmen
to 'endeavor to outdo their competitors
in 'nne Wooded stock. ';' '" ,
Mr. Downing think that Salem has
much to gain by holding an extended
fair next year, and he thinks-that Sa

Editor 't'a1'sroan: ,
f The presidential - campaign - just
closed is, , frerhaps, the-most apathetic
'of any within the recollection of the
proverbial "oldest inhabitant." It eer
; tainly is strangely and strongly in con
trast with the campaign or 1840, wnicn
was undoubtedly the most unigue,' as
well as 'most strenuous jolitical contest
the country has ever experienced. Under
the administration of Jackson and Van
Bnren the country bad teen brought to
the verg of bankruptcy. Corruption
and extravagance in high political cir
cles had broiight-'the peiiple to the verge
of a revolution. The Whig arty nomi
nated W. If. Harrison, then noted for
his rngged honeaty and svmpathy for
the common people: as well as being
immensely j-opular as a soldier and the
hero or ripiiecanoe, a iatiie lotigni
with th Indiana, on the banks xf the
Wabash in Imlien At the timf ef his
nomi nation .he bad retired front public
life and was living in a log cabin on
a new farm at North Bend, in the south
era f at f t b." aforesaid state.,
, ,Yan ujen, who was then,reidn
aii.l t hfe iternocra tie candidate for re-
el.-tWi one of the most crafty!
politicians the country had ever pro
duced. He was born in luxury and had
always lived in affluence, and. with , hi
foJlywcy, .was dubled the-silk stock
Glaus
H OU S E
ing" partv. Dewitt Clinton said of,
him that "'he was not of this lion or the
tiger he belonged to the lower order,
the fox and the weasel." David
Crockett said of him: "He could take
a pice of mrat on one side of his
tnoat h, a piece pt reread on. the othfr,
and cabbage in the middle, and chew
and swallow each in its severalty, never
mixing them tojrther."
llla administration of the covera-
mcit was oppressive andodious, aadj
the recommendation of a stsnding armyi
of 200.000 men. the employment of f
bloodhounds as allies, the sub-treasury J
scheme, low wages and free trade, ana
the0 profligacy and extravagance at the
White House, together with the horde
of' defaulters and the insolence of the
Office-holders, aroused popular Indigna
tion throughout the land. One of the
first attacks upon General Harrison was
made by a prominent Democratic paper
"by ridiculing h simplicity and
noverty In thee words: "Hive him a
barrel of hard eider and settle a pension
of two thousand, dollars a year upon
him, and our word for it, .he will sit
the remainder of his days eontent in a
log cabin." f- - . ''- .
-' This slur unon . Harrison aroused the
Whigs to a determination to win, and
they aiezed upon the opportunity it af
forded at once. Log tabin clubs were
formed in every ; neighborhood, and
when there was a convenient place for
meetings log cabina were built in which
hard eider waa in evidence at all public
cat berlngs; Public faceting were of
frequent occurrence, and people came
for miles to listen to their speakers. At
a public meeting held in Columbus, O.,
in April, when the roads were muddy
ami the weather stormy and cold, the
people gathered by the thousands, com
ing by stage, by ox tram, by one-horse
wagons,' and two-horse teams, on horse
"hack, and. on foot many of them com
ing, front a distance requiring two or
three days to make' the trip, camping
out on tti way and while attending the
mooting. Ja most instance the women
of th household accompanied their hus
bands, fathers, son a and brothers on
tfce journeys. .The people" radr- the
whole country reverberate with theJ
song: - J - '-.. .
"Tbey say that he lived in a cabin,
and' lived on old hard eider, to;
Will, what if he didt I'm certain
He's the hero of Tippecano .
, He's the hero of Tippecanoe!"
The writer of . this, although bwt a
boy at the time, remeinlers wrll the ex
citement those meetings caused He re
inemlier distinctlv of on Whig proces
ion( in Northern Ohio, which was com
posed almost exclusively of farmers and
their families in every stvle and va
riety of conveyance then in vogue. (It
is probably not necesaary to say that
there were no automobiles, bicyelor
mbler-tircd carriages in the proces
sion), which was over three miles in
length and well ehised up, too. In that
procession waa a 1Z cabin on wheels,
drawn hy two yoke of oxen, a barrel
of hard cider at one end, a row skin
nailed on the door to dry, and a man
sitting in front wearing a coon-skin cap.
Another wagon had a canoe fashioned
from a largi whitewood log, and tear
ing on its sides: "Tippecanoe and Ty
ler, too." Barbecues were frequent,
where whole beeves, swine and mutton
were roated inthe open air, .Whig and
Democratic children could not play to
