COMPLAINTS OF TIE COMMISSION
Tie Chlago TrbUas
Much dissatisfaction among the S0athern
aud Western members N the Philadelphia Centennial
Exposition growing OUT Of the fact that the Commits
SION s evidently run IN the interest OF ring Of fhid
dephans, and that has been packed by tins ring at
the expense or certain states which entitled To rep
resentaton 10y their own citizens. For Instance, toe
state OF Georgia is represented 10y Mr wis WIuSmlh
of Philadelphia, who he the leadug eplrt o. the
whole enterprise The State OF louisiana Is represented
Ia part by John Lynch, carpetLayger and member Of
The celebrated Lynch Board of CauYassers, ami
IN part by Pcnnypaclcr Of Philadelphia Indiana
at tine represented by Philadcphian also,
but upon the protest OF Gov Hendricks lie removed
and resident OF Indiana appointed. The ring character
OF the Commission has been severely commented 10y
tho local press OF Philadelphia, bus without eject. We
understand that 10 Is the purpose OF the Western and
Southern Commissioners 70 ask Congress 90 pass
Elemental bill requiring that tlo Commissioners shall
be actual residents OF the States they represent Nothing
less than this Ill satisfy tue western members Of the
Commission and may ada that nothing less will
commend the Exposition Itself toll confidence Of the
country At large.
