TIE CENTENNIAL. The Washington cor
respondent OF the Baltimore, says There
seems 10 be an apparent ditideuce on the part
Of our LII rchauts and prominent citizens to
press the claims Of this city on Congress as the
only place for holding the Centennial EXPOSE
ton or mass fair 1t is evident to every one
that p lladelphia is not the selection calculated
to please the maj 'rity of people, or even any
great number outside of those In the State Of
Pennsylvania.
eva hiugton has claips which no one denies
and advantages which every one will admit.
The matter of acc mmodatiou is the principal
objection to this city, but even that fades away
when ii is taken into consideration that Balti-
more, only one hours ride from here, has at
least As many and as good hotels as Phlade-
phia, and that, with the accommodation fur
nished by Baltimore and this city, nothing nj re
could be desired. The capacity Of Washington
is tested every four years. on the occasion Of
the inauguration of the President. The many
thousand, who come then can always find pcn
ty of accommodations, and no extra effort is
made towards increasing its capacity to receive
them. 1t has plenty Of hotels and plenty of
room, and many men wiDg to build pew ones,
and no one can successfully urge that objection
to the selection of this city

Kendall naIe some damaging statements
relative to the position Of the old Bonr-
bon Democracy and their monldy state 5
Rights misunderstanding that it was
this prevailing sentiment which was
hidden beneath this meaningless rail
road tesoluticu.
10 another part Of this extraordinary
harangue, Dir. Kendall paid his respects
to Col. Ellis record as rebel soldier
did it III VEIN of satire which is very
effective. Ki,,reil's experiences in Brit
ish Columbia where he went because he
could not TAXI. the attorneys oath ia
California were deity dovstailed in with
Ellis record. The Democratic ticket
was characterized as Confederate
Bill Of Fare -" one dish under various
disguisss,' reminding the speaker Of
Jogglis Wright's celebrated catfish din
uer Of six courses.
From beginning to end this was 4
most remarkable speech. Frequently
interrupted, Mr.. Kendall smote his in
errogators with the most singing Of
repartses; and when he had finished
(after being frequently greeted with
cheers he had accomplished wonders
toward the demolition of the Confeder-
ate Ticket and its platform, confo1nd-
ing his enemies OF the Democratic party.
and ridiculing the professions and pre-
tensions Of Sutro. Indeed, SO powerful
and effective were Kendalls denuncia-
tons of the Democratic ticket and plat
form. that Mr.. Deal. Chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee, came for-
ward and demanded that he should quit
the stand Kendall did this, and finish
ed his speech from stand on tho oppo-
site side of the street-takins the crowd
with him.
Thus has Kendall sounded the death
knell of the chiYairy Democracy of
Nevada. 1t was needed service most
effectively performed.
