THE GREAT ExPOsITION-MR. JAYS PIP
ING

Hon. John JAY of New York, who happened
to be U. s. Minister at Vienna, when the Austri-
an Exposition was held has boen writing tire
New York Tribune q seriea of letters, develop
ing his stores of wisdom for the use Of the Cen
tenniai Exposition. He was first inclined to
think that 1t ought to be put Off few years,
feeling sure from the inertia which he expert
enced within his own venerable bones that
things could not possibly be ready at Paramount
Park by next year. But il the hot-headed Tx
position people insisted on going ahead, then
MIR. Jay had number OF suggestions to make,
most or all OF which, US it happens, were already
quite familiar to other well informed people, and
had received duo consideration.
Furthermore, AIr. Jay seeks to complicate
matters by conveying the impression that there
will be trouble with the foreign exhibitors, grow
ing out Of opposing industrial policies, &c.
What good can he hope to servo by such a
course? Tie exposition will certsinly be hold,
and 1t ia the duty Of every citizen to render all
the help Within lis power, rather than to heap
obstacles before it. The people OF this State
have peculiar interest IN the Great Fair, not
only from our closcness in position to Philadel-
phia, but also because orr capitalists and arti-
sans are connected with the enterprise in vari,
ons important ways.
The weakness and stupidity OF those who
throw cold water on it can have no effect here,
but We think it the duty of those who can claim
the public attention in neighborhoods moro re-
mote. to place the matter in its true light. In
stead of lending ear to presages of disaster peo-
pie would be more probably employed in help
ing on the stock subscriptions There Is place
for every ono in this great enterprise, and IN the
day OF triumph each man will feel justly proud
who has Eeped the contamination of the work

Political Noses.

Full official returns from Kentucky give Nc
Creary, Democrat, SO, 1S9 majority for Governor.
90 Democrats and 10 Republicans are elected to
the House. The majority for McCreary is less
than that Of 18I1-the last Governors election
and considering the very earnest canvass made
by the Democrats, it is highly encouraging to
the Republicans.
The secret political organization, that has its
" councils" in all the wards of Baltimore, is now
looking after suitable candidates for the City
Council. The nominations will probably be
made during the present week.
Judge Kelley is not making successful tour
OF the West with his imitation speech. His audi
ence Mt Chicago on Friday evening only num-
bered about three hundred and the majority
were there rather from curiosity than sympathy.
A correspondent OF the Baltimore Gazette, =
leading Democratic paper, has been travelling
through Ohio, and after careful examination
OF the situation, throws up the sponge. He
says that Democratic defeat in that State is in
evitable, and it is 80 conceded Ly the leading
Democrats.
The Cincinnati Enquirer expresses itself will
ling to swap Thurman for Kelley, and thinks
that the Democrats would get the best Of the
bargain.
1t is up hill work for man to fill the Demo.
cratic bill this year. Down East he must be
sound on the license question: in New York he
is reviled and hooted at by the orthodox in DEM
ocratic faith If he favored greenbacks; while in
Ohio to mention hard money brings down upon
him the wrath of the faithful, all the way from
the once hard money Bill Allen to the horny
handed Sam Carey.
The Greenback Convention il to meet in De-
troit next week. The call is signed by Moses W.
Field, and among those expected to address the
Convention are William D. Kelley, of Pennsylva-
mia, General John II. Gordon, OF Georgia, and
ex-senator Carpenter. Of WISCONSIN.
The Democrats OF Montgomery county chose
six delegates to the Pennsylvania convention,
yesterday, four of whom, it is said will vote for
DIR. T.. l.. Acker, as n candidate for Governor,

THE CITY cANYAss-rHE TWO TICKETS.


II the Republican nomination for mayor had
fallen on any one OF the other gentlemen, Mr..
Valentine and his friends would have been ex-
pected, Of course, to acquiesce, and help to elect
him. 1t ia the usual and common-sense rule of
such nominations, and in fact q perfectly fair
one. As Mr.. Valentine received the largest
number Of votes--a result foreseen by every
careful observer, since the vote OF those opposed
to his nomination was divided amongst five or
six different persons-he is duly made the can
didate, and is entitled to the hearty support Of
all who call themselves Republicans. or his
competency to fill the place there can be no
doubt; he is perfectly familiar with it's duties,
and has all the ability, intelligence, and ed
ucation needed. Furthermore, we are assured
that he responds to the public anxiety
for all efficient and clean police force, and will
use his best endeavor to secure fit and proper
men, and to keep the force free Of those who
bring reproach upon it. The appointment and
supervision of the police is his chief duty, and
almost his only function Of any Importance, and
the assurance that he will do what the majority
of good citizens desire III regard to it almost
covers the whole ground.
There is now simplya choice between Mr.. Val
entino and Mr.. Whiteley. II the former Is exten.
siveiy cut by Republicans or seriously weakened
by any sort of Independent or other third ticket
Mr.. Whitley will be the Mayor for the next
three years, aud the Democratic police regi,,t
such Mayor Simlns has established, will be
continued over US until 1873. We have had
three years OF it, and most Republicans certainly
prefer change, but if any one likes it, and
doesn't desire to lose itwhy his course is entire.
ly plain-to weaken Valentine by any method
available, and help the election of Whitley. We
can sec no reason why any Republican should
make that choice, but as we have just said, any
one who does 30, goes with his eyes open to the

There are several fruit drying houses here,
