ia tas Editor Qf The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-The action Of the E1eou-
hive Committee OF the Exposition in regard to
opening the Art Gallery Sunday will undoubt-
edly bo approved by tho majority Of the thinking
and well-meaning citizens Of Chicago. The az
preston Of visitors from other lar9a cities who
remain over Sunday with rs. and the peaceabla
sunaays its citizens enjoy, prove beyond =
doubt that Chicago is as free from Agitation. or
disturbance !; OF any knd ss any ether
have been sincere in their effort to
open the Art-Gallery On Sunday, yet 20 must
consider the principle on which the Executive
Committee acted ona worthy Of note. We ~
citizens desire to aee our own city ouriya1 al
others IN it's Improvements and exhibitions.
let we have men with courage sufficient, when
hey think best, to say to the world that ouf
Grand Exposition is open to all for six days and
,Teul0gs in each week for four or five weeka,
out the one day in seYeu our doors are closed.
