has Yet seen; the other. the close Of the
grand worlds exhibition by which we
have celebrated the onc-bundredth amt
vcrSary OF or existence rs a free and
indept ndcni nation. and through the
medium Of wlict We have conciu>ivcly
and satisfactorily proven hat. in -pitc OF
our youth we can equal, in industrial
skill. those old countries across The SEA
which, IN our infancy. stood iorCmCst in
this regard. in the whole world. We
have shown our foreign visitors our liz
>titutions aud resources. and low, be-
fore they leave Us, we are about TO show
them a spectacle which to ourselves is
simple a. it Is sublime: that Of n tree
people selecting its OWN president.
In spite OF daily attendance at The
centennial exceeding in averahc, one
hundred thousand, neither PhilHdel-
y liaus nor strangers from other parts e
the United States have forgotten the
part they ought 10 take in the coming
election. Those from the distant western
and southern states are hurrying home
20 be AZ the polls on the Ith, and their
places are being taken by citizens OF
New York. New Jersey, Delaware and
other neighborng states. who can come
and 60 In few hours. ana who will miss
neither the centennial nor the election.
In Philadelphia the two great parties
stand arraisued before each other, in
lines OF battle ready for the final contest
which soon will decide whether this
country shall be governed by Democrats
or Republicans for the next four years.
Numerous attempts have been made TO
fore-h adow the results OF the contest, but
without succeeding in convincing al Y
one. The truth is sGat here as elsewhere.
both parties are hopeful, set doubtful.
The public betting which has been sOmc-
what in favor of Tildon, indicates roth
ing beyond the fact thar q certain class OF
gamblers are INDUCING In a spOr, which
comes natural to them. Besides ino bet
