ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR cox.
Governor Cox commenced by recalling
the history Of the Exposition In itS
growth from mere local to.national en-.
terpriSe, drawing exhibitors not only
from ali parts Of the United States, but,
to a considerable extent, from Europe.
He then proceeded to speak ot the ad-
vantages TO be derived from visiting It,
and suggested methods OF making the
most Of such visits. He classified visitors
into grave men, who went to gain serious
IMPROVEMENT, persons who wish to In
crease their general culture, and persons
who come for amusement or curiosity, all
these classes were actuated by laudsble
motives, but TO obtain the greatest profits
from II, the several departments must be
patiently and seriously studied. The
orandest exhibition here was the two
great social forces so mutually interde'
pendent that It was an absolute i'm.
possibility for one to exist apart
rom the other. We should impress our
selves with the debt which civilization
owes to these two great forces, and en-
deavor to realize more strongly the digni.
ly and power Of skilled labor.
The address occupied about ten min
utes In delivery. Alter the applause
which followed Governor Cox's address
had subsidized, W. H. BlYmyer. President
Of tho Expedition, made the
