Weather Prophet Wiggins and Flood Prophet Dunn seem to be two of a kind. Mr. George W. Peck is one of the most popular humorists in the country, but the republicans don’t see anything funny in his election as mayor of Milwaukee. Toung Russell Harrison is very angry because, in one of Eugene Field’s recent London letters to the Chicago News, it was stated that he (Russell; purchased a crest while in Europe last summer. He uses some strong language, but the only notics the Sews tnk*s of him is to say that “Russv is real mad." Nashvilio merchants are raising a sub scription of £.5,000 to advertise that city. In 1888 the business men of Portland, Ore. .sub scribed £12,000 a month to advertise that city, and Portland grew marvelously in wealth and population. The prosperity which Savannah is enjoying is largely due to the advertising the Morning News gives her. Iho long Island Railroad Company has issued an order instructing its conductors not ta permit Italian laborers to ride in the passenger coaches. They must ride in the amcklng cars. Hus New York a race prob lem also? If the Long Island railroad were an interstate road doubtless the Italian laborei-s would appeal ts the interstate commission for redress against such dis crimination. Southern Judges Slandered. Mr. Channoev M. Depew stopped in Wash ington ou Friday on his return t > New York from the south, and was interviewed by the Post of that city. In the course of some remarks which he made on the south ern convict system he said; “Oaa thi ;g which more than any other has debauched public sentiment in the south is the couvict labor system, which hoidi in certain states, 17ales) Kennaa's stories of tha Sibe rian horrors are absolutely true, t <ere cau lie no scenes ia a civilized country so terrible as those in the so ithern convict comps. Thess poor convicts are leased to men who liars no interest in their welfare or reformation. No one sets whether they are properly fed, clothe!, housed, treated or cared for. Sometimes the contract! call for a certain number of convicts and the state furnishes them. Howl If they can’t till the quota otherwise the most trivial of fenses are made excuse for ioag terms of imprisonment. I have no doubt that many innocent men are serving sontences in sou'b ern convict camps that the quota might be tilled.” We have no defense of the convict leas* system to make, though we believe that the convicts in southern convict camps are treated, as a general thing, just about as well as tha convicts of most northern prisons, but we assert, without fear of successful contradiction, that Mr. Ilepew’s statement that crimiualsare sentenced to long terms of im prisonment for the most trivial offe.is -s. In order that the lessees may have the benefit of their labor, is false, and his assertion of his belief that Innocent men are sent to the convict camps to till the qu it as of convicts which the states have contracted to furnish to lessees is a slander of the most outrageous kind. Mr. Depow, in effect, says tnat southern judges, juries and grand juries deliberately conspire to send men and women who are not guilty of any crime to the convict camps. Is there a judge or juryman in oil the south who has ever bom guilty of such a thing i We do not believe thore is. We are certain that Mr. Depow never heard the name of one. Why, than, should he have made a charge of which he had no proof whatever? Why should he desire to bring southern courts into disrepute? ' What reason had he for expressing a belief that judges and jurymen in the south are meu without mercy, without honor and without any regard for the oath they take before entering upon the discharge of their duties ? We have nothing harsh to say of Mr. Depew. We have been accustomed to regard him as an honorable, courteous gentleman, who would not knowingly do any one an injus tice, and it therefore seems strange to us that he should havo gratuitously slaudered a people that have never expressed any thing hut a kindly feeling for him. It is true that there may be innocent men in the convict camps of the south, just as there may be innocent men in the peniten tiaries of the north, but if there are any there, neither the governors of the state) in which the camps are located, nor the judges and juries by whom such innocent men were tried, know it. They are there by mistake and because there was convincing evidence of their guilt. Grand juries in the south do not find in dictments except when they are compelled by their oaths to do so. They excuse offenses, particularly where the defendants are blacks, when they can conscientiously do so, not only because they are disposed to be merciful, but also because it is their duty and inclination to keep down the court expenses of their respective counties. It is a rare thing to find among the white) any disposition to do the blacks an in justice. The shortcomings of the blacks are too frequently overlooked. If Mr. Depow could have a little experi ence in a gram! jurj’ room in the south he would express in the north very different views. In his trip south he sa w only such blacks as are about tha hotels. He saw nothing of that great mass of ignorant blacks with whom the tourist never comes in contact. A short experience in a grand jury room would convince him that all the blacks ore not honest,thrifty and peaceable, as he seems to think they are. It is quite safe to say that throe-fourths of the crimes nguinst persons and proporty are committed by blacks, and they are responsible for at least thri e-fourths of the criminal expanses. The charge that innocent men ara sent to convict camps to fill quotas is absurd. What interest havo judges and juries in having a large number of convicts ia the convict camps? None whatever. Mr. Depow has done the south a great wrong. He is one of the most widely known men in the country, and this slander to which he has given utterance will attract general attention. It will bo believed by many who have heretofore refused to credit the falsehoods about the south that have been circulated by partisan newspapers. The south is willing for the truth to be told about her, but she objects to being made the target for the slander of those who visit her and are honored by her people. It is highly probable that the republican senate will confirm the nomination of Dave Dudley as postmaster at Americas, but it is being noticed that Dave’s political brethren of the white race in Washington are not slapping him familiarly upon the back, or walking arm in arm with him aloug the streets. They seem to avoid him. It was ever thus. They think a negro is a very proper person for au office in the south, but ho must not make himself at all familiar wit h northern republicans. It is refreshing to hoar such a speech oa pensions as Congressman Stone made the other day. Mr. Stone is a bravo mau anil a patriot. He is willing to do jus tics to the ex-soldiers, but he also wants to do.jusiice to the people. The speecbei of Messrs. Chipman and Doiliver were in striking c in trust to that of Mr. Stone. Chipman and Doiliver are demagogues, pure aud simple. They never rise above self. A correspondent of the New Orleans Pica l/une asks that paper if tbo city of New Or leans cannot bring legal action against Prophet Duun. He is told that it cannot; thut such sensationalists as Dunn can croak their dolorous predictions unrestrained, and can have them disseminated to the injury of the cities mentioned in them, but that the cities have no redress. Pretty tough ou the cities, isn’t it? AVhite Caps have not by any moans been put down in Indiana nor in Pennsylvania. One if 11 use states is the home of President Harrison, and the other is the home of Boss Quay, and while these distinguish!? i repub lic ms are very anxious for lawlessness to be stamped out in tbe south, if we mar ba lieve tbeir assertions, they nupur supremely ind.iferent to it in their native states. Will soma republican newspaper have the good ness to explain this! THE MORN IXG NEWS: SEND AY, APRIL fB9tMTWEIYV"E PAGES. Eester Day. On Easter day, at least, the e iurche> are ’ crowded, and the ft oral decorations, the ela orate music and the ornate ritual, to gether with the evidences of a reverent yet joyful feeling among the congregations, are signs of the deep interest felt in the great i event w hich the day commemorates. The love of life is the greatest of human instincts. After fortune, health and honor are gone, after the p siibility of any further enjoyment has disappeared, most men cling to life. The “King of Terror." saddens us all with the assurance that at any moment the end may come and we may be suddenly taken a tvay from ail that we love and are so eageriy pursuing. At best we can only reach the perfection of our powers, and we have only begun to profit by the experiences of life, ju;t caught its secret, obtained mastery of its forces and acquired a few of its vast treasures, when the grave opens its arms and our wisdom anil hopes and all our pliabilities sink into its bosom. Th-re ii no one rightly estimating w hat u joyful thing it is to live, how strong the mind cin become, what knowledge there is to be gain s!, what glorious work there is to be done, who does not feel that the greatest sorrowof life is that it must be given up long before it pleasures have been exhausted, its treasures gained or its labors done. It is to this sorrow of the human heart that Easter day administers words of comfort and inspiration. Its sublime assurance is that life is longer than our earthly day. “Re ye of good cheer," it seems to say, “if a rnan dies he shall live again.” The most sacred traditions of the Christian religion are clustered like beautiful crystals about this never fading truth. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, foils in meaning, if it does not give the assurance of eternal life. It is, however, and has always been, regarded in the church as the highest possible divine declaration that man is not a mere animal, but that his heav enly father has divine plans regarding him, and that he will find anew and permanent home arid anew and an everlasting career. In this sublime view this life is to the future one what childhood is to manhood—in the language of earlier theology, a probation, but in the later theology a school, a period of discipline, a preparation for diviner tasks. If this were as profoundly believed as it ought to be, it would remove the bitterest sorrows of life and inspire men to engage In far nobler oc cupations. It is a joyful assurance that over tha human spirit death has no control. Beyond lies a silent land, but not one of im penetrable gloom. What its conditions are we do not know, but we gain confidence that they cannot be otherwise than satisfying when wo reaiembir the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his comforting assurances. A Foolish Notion. Borne of the people of New Orleans whose fears of an overflow appear to have de prived them of whatever little common sense they may have had, are trying to cre ate the impression that the high water at New Orleans is due largely to the jetties in South pass at the mouth of the Missis sippi river. The fact that the jetties have no effect upon the river at New Orleans or anywhere else is very easily shown. The levees at that city ara sixteen feet above the level of the soa. For many m.les up the river from the jetties there are no levees. If therefore the jetties obstructed the outflsw of the waters, the rivei would quickly rise above its natural hank, and reach the gulf across the marshes. That it doss not do this is quite satisfactory evidence that the jetties have no influence oa the river at New Orleans. But the outlet through the jetties is not the oily outlet of the river. There are four other great passes besides numerous smaller outlets. The south .vest pn3) was the channel for ships before the improve ment of south pass. Asa matter of fact not a fourth as much water was discharged ttirough south pass before the jetties were constructed as is discharged through it now. That pa ss was ash alio w channel th a t was navigated only by small sailing vessels. Now it accommodates the largest ships afloat. It is not improbable that some of those who are now trying to create a sentiment against the jetties would like to see South pass closed to commerce bocausa it deprives them of the lucrative business of towing ships through the shallow Southwest puss. They uiauo large sum) out of that business. The ships frequently got aground and their cargoes bad to L>) partly removed before they could proceed to sea. If South pass were closed the commerce of New Orleans would fall off at least oae-half. There is no probability, however, that the jetties will ever be removed. They are there to stay. The fears of the thoughtless and schemes of the selfish will not prevail against them. The World’s Fair Building. An architect of Chicago has submitted a plan for the world’s fair buil linz in that oitv, uuii it appears to meet with a great deal pf favor. The idea of this arch iter; is to have only one building and to locate it over the water of the lake. It would bo built upon piling a id wou'd bo 1,003 feet high in the center, and w uld have a diameter of 5,030 feet. It would cover 133 acres, and would be built of glass and iron at a cost of @0,000,000. The plan calls for ail amphi theater in the center of it that would hold 500,000 people. From the top of the center tower it would be possible to see the Michi gan shore across the lake. It is evident that such a building would be a surprising one, and would boas much of an attraction as the exhibits uvliich it would contain. It would cover much more space than any previous exposition build ing, nnd would be, perhaps, much better adapted to exposition purposes. The architect says that it would have plenty of light, because there would bo sixty-six acres of glass in the roof. That would lie nearly one-third of the roof, and it is stated that the building would be strong enough to withstand such a tornado as re cently wrought ruin in I/suisville. Being over the lake, the building would oe cool in the hottest weather, and, besides, au arrangement is provided for throwing water on the roof from t le lake, the evapo ration of which would help to keep the building cool. There is no doubt that it is the intention of Cnicago to orect a building that will sur prise the country. She has the brains and the will to do surprising things, and if she does not fail in financial matters the coun try, after all, may have no cause to regret that She got the fair. Ihe Columbus Eiiq>iirer-Sun calls the Georgia republican b >.->s “Snaky Buck,” and it isn’t going to sly that it meant it in a Pickwickian sen e. Buck deserves all of the endearing adjectives of this kind that can be placed before his name.

The replenishing of tbal stock takes place at intervals, consequent to an agreement drawn up arid signed by an Indian potentate. It is proposed to give a complimentary ban quet to Mr. Thurman on the occasion of his Sc veil 1 1"- seventh birthday. That it will be an interesting occasion is indicated by the an nouncement that Grover Cleveland and Editor Dana will be among the guests wbo will sit down together around the festive board.

Terry now lives in retire ment in hi) beautiful home on liillhouseavenue, New Haven, Conn. His health is very poor, and he goes out very little. He is only 63 years of age. but for some time has not been very strong. He was in his younger days town elerii of New Haven, and many of that city’s records bear his signature. Sir Peter Coats of Auchendrane, Scotland, figures prominently in one of Charles Dickens' most popular novels. For the two brothers Coats of “Paisley" are known to have been the originals of •‘..’heeryhle Brothers" in "Nicholas Nicklebj.” They united business and charity in a remarkable way. and they amassed for tunes as quickly as they gat e them away. It is told of Gladstone that he once said to the Queen of England that she must do a certain thing. Victoria bridled up and angrily said: “Must, did yon say? And do you know, sir. who I am?" The premier’s cool response was: “Madam, you are the Queen of Curia id; but do you know who I am : lam tbe peo le of F.ngland. amt in this emergency the people say ‘must.’" A Paris paper thus describes Louise Michel, who Ims been nicknamed the stormy petroleuse of French politics: “Her face flamei with color: from the center of her ostrich-egg shaped forehead her untidy hair cascades upon her neck. Brie is dressed in black. Her eyes are not fierce; they are till -d with tenderness. Louise Michel is more a socialist by heart than by reason." Benjamin Ellis Martin relates how he visited Edmonton churchyard ia order to visit Charles Lamb’s grave. Service was goiog on in the church, and be waited till the close and asked the officiating cleryman the location of the grave. Trie clergyman didn’t know. He had beard that t 'harles Lamb was burl *d in his churchyard, but he had cover seen the grave, nor asked about it. BRIGHT EITa. Morai.izf.r- I The good die young.

CURRENT COMMENT. Not a Good Showing. From the Philadelphia Uncord c Oem.\ The population of New Orleans, according to an enumeration recently completed by the hoard of assessors, is 230,300. In 1380 it was 210.000. This is not an t-neouraging showing for the southern metropolis. A Pointer or Two. From the Norfolk Viraiaiatt\(Dem.\ The south is producing more cotton than when she had millions of slaves at her command, ami astonishing as it may be to most people who have not kept pace with her progress, from pro ducing less than one-eighth of the country’s iron nine years ago. today she is producing about one-fourth of all the irou made in tb* United States. The People Not Considered. From the Boston Globe (Deni,). A glance at a few of the new duties proposed by the McKinley bill is instructive. It shows how the interests of the people have been sacri ficed, and the interests of this or that c iqtie of monopolists alon-considered. Hides are to lie taxed 15 per cent. Imported mica is to be taxod H per cent. Mac iroui Uto b > taxed 2 cents a pound. Imported eggs are to be taxed 5 cents a dozen. These things are now free of duty. To tax th?m illustrates the way In which the tariff is being reduce 1 "by its friends.” Does the Kaiser Regret It 7 From the Chicago Mail (Pep ). London dispatches indicate that Kaiser Will iam Las been disturbed by the popular demon stration* in favor of Bismarck, and that having found \on Caprivi inclined to oppose the im )rial will he- is regretting the departure of Bismarck.

"What can you say of New York?" "New York is ao old town at the mouth of the Hudson river, near which the tourist leaves tue electric train and takas the a;r ship for Cumberland Gap. and is noted chi-fly for an obelisk covered with curious hleroglvphics con cerning which antiquarians differ. Some claim them to be the history of the town; others say they are the world’s fair speeches of a man named D. Pugh, or De Pooh, and still others that, they relate to one Mr. Crowley, woo was probably the president or chief of a singular club known as tbe 40U.” “Are there any ocher obelisks or monu ments?" “None." “Any arches?" “None.” Neat, But Wicked. A feud has long existed between two gentle men living on Cass avenue, says the Detroit Tribune. Heretofore their enmity has merely been expressed by a contemptuous iguormg of each other's existence. The feud began years ago on account of some trifle unworthy of notice. As Gogol shows, in one of bis realistic short stories, there Is not hing so autagoui- tic as the hatred of two neighbors. Mr. B— lived on one side of Cass avenue, in a near, frame house; Mr. C— lived oa the other side just opposite in a neat brick house. One day an Italian with a hand organ planted his instrument before Mr. C—'s house and began to play. Mr. O— abomi nated a hand organ. He rushed to the front door. “.Move along!" lie shouted, waving his arms. The Italian smiled in a child like manner, but di l not seem to comprehend the order "Go away." continued Mr. Q-r "or I’ll have you arrested.” With the same expression on his face the Italian picked up Ids instrument and was about to move on when Mr. B— apjieaied “Come here," he called to tbe Italian. The Italian crossed over to Mr. B—'s side. ■Mr. B— gave him 27> cents. "Play me some of the melodies of your native land," lie said. For an hour Mr. B— kept him there grinding out gems from the opera. Mr. C—, after en during it as long as he could, took his hat and left the house. The feud still exists. What Woman Dike in Men. Women, says the Ladies' Home Journal, like manlj-, not lady-like men. They like honesty and purpose of considera tion. They like men who believe in women. They like their opinions to be thought of some value. They like a man who can lie strong as a lion when trouble comes, and yet, if one is nervous and tired, can button up a sboe. and do it with au amount of consideration that is a meu.al and a physical bracer-up. They like a man wbo can take hold of the ha by, convini'e it of i.is power, and get ir, to sleep after they have been worrying with ic. and walking with if, until their eves are tired and they feel as if they had no brains. They like a man who is interested in their tier,- dresses, wbo can give an opinion on the t’u. aud who is properly indignant at any article w ritten against women. They like a man who knows their Innocent weaknesses and caters to them; who will bring home a box of candy, tbe last new magazine, or tbe latest puzzle sold ou tbe street, that will do more than its duty in entertaining everybody for the hole evening They like a man who is the master of the situation—that is. who tins brain enougn to help a woman to decide wh it is tin Iks. thing to do under the circumstances, and who has wit enough to realize, when on? of th ■ fairer sex is slightly stubborn, that persuasion is more powerful than all the ar Miments in the world. They like a man who likes them- who doesn’t scorn their opinions, who believes in their gooi taste, who has confidence iu their truth, a ;il who, best of all, knows that the love pro nisei is given him. That's the sort of a man a woman likes, and her every sigh of satisfaction, as his virtues are mentioned, is a little prayer that says: "God bless him, " Taka it Now.

Over a Towel, Tue soul and body of the dry goods clerk waxeth weir/ when be sees three women headed for bis counter, says the Detroit Free Hi ess. One is bad enough; two are worse, but three women in counsel over the merits of a hath towel are enough to make a poor worn out clerk wish he might depart from earth by the electricity method. "it seems like quite a good one for the money, don’t it?" says the intending purchaser “Well. I don’t know," says the jntber. hold ing the towel up at full length awa eyeing it critically, “I got one "quite as good tor H'tJ cents at Whites’.” “You did?" "Yes. but it was eight or nine weeks ago, and I don’t s’puse they've auy more like it." "1 may in- mistaken, hut I’ve no idea it would shrink." says number three, taking the towel frem number two and wrapping a cor ner of it over her linger. See, it's a little thin.” "Well, 1 wouldn't mind if it did shrink a little, because—oh, look at this one! '"lsn't it lovely!" “Beautiful! Howmuchls it?” “A dollar and a half.” “Mercy! I’d never pay that for a bath toweL” "Nor I." "These colors would fade.” “<>f course they would.” “Do you Know I like good plain crash as well as anything for towels." “I don’t know, but—see these towels for 15 cents. 1 paid l!5 cents for some last week not a hit better. “Ivt’s see: are they full length? Yes. They are cheap. I’ve a notion to—but 1 guess I won’t. 1 have so many towels now.” “They're a bargain if one only really needed them.” “How do you like towels used as tidies?” “Horrid!” “I think so, too." “So do I—oh, let me tell you, I saw a woman on the street one day with an a 1 Ton made out of a red and white fringed towel!" “Mercy! Looked like fury didn't it? How was it made?” “O, one end was simp’y gathered to a band, and—there, the towel was just like this one— and she'd taken it so and gathered it in so, amt —really, it didn’t look so bad, after all." "Do you suppose the colors would run in this border?” "Well, I hardly know. I had one very much like it once, aud the colors tu it ran dreadfully the very first time I washed it ” “Then I'll not take this, for I—why if it isn't 4 o'clock, and—” "Who’d over have thought—” "I must go." "So must I.” “And l—no. I'll not take the towel to-day."

At Kansas City a man stabbed his brother, but the wounded man survived.

His latest order is that no portrait of him or of the empress, or of other members of the imperial family, is to be pub ushed without his express sanction. Displeased vvith the photographic studies so far put before tbe public, the emperor is having his portrait painted by three artists, Konor, Prell and Beck ert. to whom he gives sittings simultaneously. Sittings are also non- given to a sculptorfor tile emperor's bust. Ludovico Viola, one of the most celebrated clowns of bis time, has just died in St. Peters burg in his 91st year. In 1543 lie created such a f urine in the Russian cipital when visiting it with an Italian circus that the Russian million aire Jakowlew offered him a sum of 200,000 rubies if he would settle in St. Petersburg and start & circus of his own. Viola accepted the offer and performed at his circus till some fee years ago, when he took up the profession of a gymnastic master. The premiums of 500 guineas and 850 guineas offered by the London Tower Company for the b .-stand second best designs have.it is said, induced engineers and architects of the highest professional status in the United Kingdom, tne continent, America, Canada and Australia, to compete. The committee of jurors appointed to adjudicate has made a preliminary examina tion of the designs submitted, and, after a very prolonged inspection, about seventy de signs were selected for further consideration. A New Haven ice dealer who went to bed bewailing the short ice crop dreamed that the pond where he usually secures his supply had suddenly frozen over. Being anxious to find out how thick the ice really was. and supposing t hat he was throwing a stone upon it, lie jumped out of bed, grabbed a costly vase from the mantel and threw it with all his might through a French plate mirror before lie was aware of wbat he v.as doing. The racket awoke his wife, iaikl he was suddenly brought to his senses. His customers are pretty sure that they will have to pay for that mirror next summer. M. Hebiot, the owner of the big store called the Louvre in Paris, was sent to the Insane asylum bv his relations because he insisted upon giving 31,000.01)3. which he could readily afford to lose, to found an orphanage for soldiers' children. The local ail horitios finally ordered that lib should bi-removed from a private asylum am! placed in a public one, and it was quic dy found that he was not insane at all. For thir teen months' treatment the private asylum doc tors demanded $2>,500, the local doctors want J20,0(i0, three medic il students who helped to find him crazy $13,500, and the keepers $5 000. It is no wonder they wanted to keep him insane at that rate. A prominent newspaper of Central New York prints the following notice of a case of self destruction that is, in ail probability, unprece dented. It says: “Michael Donovan died yester day while eating breakfast; 75 years old. II * leaves a wife ami three children, nil grown up" Suicide by taking rat prison, parts green and other indigestible substances is decidedly com mon, but when a man has accomplished liisowu taking off with the originality of Mr. Donovan he deserves an obituary u column long. Un doubtedly Mr. Donovan was in the habit of eat ing young or middle-aged breakfasts, and it Is small wonder that he succumbed to a repast of such unusual maturity. At a ball at Pesth in aid of destitute children there were t wo bands engaged, a gipsy one and the baud of the infantry regiment. Toe latter playe 1 without fee. The gypsies played national airs for a while, und when the soldiers struck up a waltz, th ir platform was surrounded by a lot of young men who declared tfca' they would have no Bohemian and Herman fiddlers playing while they could hear the real Hungarian airs The excitement increased until finally some of the men dimed up on the platform and wrenched a violin from the hands of a soldier who insisted on playing. The military band thereupon left the ball, aecompaui -and bv the colonel of the regiment and all of the otfieers present, and the affair has been reported to the emperor. Paul Gifford, the original inventor of the Paris pneumatic post system, has made n pnou matic rifle which is said to be a wonder. It is described this way: The weapon is much lighter than any of the army rilles now in us-* It resembles the magazine giu iu thatasteei cartridge about a span and a half long and as thick as a man's thumb is attached to the bar rel by means of a screw. Tnis cartridge con tains 3-JO shots, which cui be discharged as rap idly or slowly as a man desires. At u recent trial the ball traveled vvith w onderful accuracy and penetrated deep into the wail of the shoot ing room. As soon as one cartridge is emptied of its 330 shots another can be screwed on the gun iu the twinkling of an eye. Mr. Gifford says that the 303 shots in a cartridge can tie produced o: a cost of about 3 pence. The gun itself can be manufactured for about $5. Speaking of the world’s fair fight, says the New York Star, reminds mb that 1 w as talking the other day with a Chicagoan who helped mnuage the fight iu Washington, and a-ked him about how they conduct'*! the campaign "V\ e worked the political ‘racket’ for all it was worth.'’ he answered. “We worked It in the south as well as the east, and it was verv effect ive iu both cases. We sent G*n, Steveuson. who gave out so many fourth-class post masterships, through the south, atrl then to the members themselves. He asked the people and the mem bers for heaven's sake not to give the fair to New Yors. where Tom Piatt would control It. The fight that. Platt was making furnished our rnan with all the argument that w as needed. It was an affective argument, ami won, us a good many democratic votes. The opposite argument was used with i ite republicans," eon ttmied my Chicago friend. “We went to the eastern republica sand showed them how Tam many would make the fair a political machine if it were held in New York. You know- what effect that had. Between the fear of Platt iu the south and tbe fear of Tammany iu New Lngland and our own natural strength we won the light. Of course Ido not believe that either party would have gained or lost by holding the Jair in New York, but vve took advantage of the fear New York:-:e themselves expressed."
