CHEAP FARES TO THE 0ENTBN>
NAL EXHIBITION
VIII Our Republic Ever Look upon its Like
Again.

No occurancc since the days Of the Kcvolu>
tion has wrought up the feelings of our patri-
otto, country loving native and adopted citi-
zens, as the Great Exhibition in Philadelphia,
which has assembled representatives from
every civilized nation on the face OF the globe
OF course there were some misglgings as TO
the success of this cvclopian affair, and Con~
gress was loudly called for, to aid the proper
celebration of our One Hundredth Birthsday
as Nation. The friendly feeling exhibited
by the whole world with whom we are at
peace, carly gave assurance TO the managing
directors. OF the ultimate success ofthe Cen
tennial Exhibition, As we look over the 400
acres of Paramount Park devoted to the Cen
tennial, and the miles of magnificent buildings
in which are crowded the productions OF the
world and the daily assemblage OF an hum
dred thousand persons, can we say that the
great Fair, which commentaries our Nations
birth, which has awakened new interests in
that memorable event, the signing and declar-
alton of Independence, is a failure? We say
emphaticaly NO
The Great Fl Wayne g. Pennsylvania Rail-
way Line have brought into requisition all of
their new, elegant, costly and luxurious Hotel,
Sleeping and Drawing Room Pullman Palaces,
to accommodate visitors. The tracks of this
favoritc, short and most direct line, lead
directly into their new Centennial Depot, a
convenience appreciated by all. II must be
remembered that no other road runs their
sleeping cars into Philadelphia without
change. The reduced rates created by the
railroad war has made the fares about one
half of the regular tariff Round trip Center-
NAL tickets, good for sixty days, with
privilege of stopping off at any point, may be
purchased over the Fit. Wayne Pennsylvania

As usual in all these outbreaks the whites

these things occur too often. The whites seek
no contest with the colored people, but the
colored people must behave themselves and
submit to the laws. Just so.
HOW TO KEEP THE NEGRO IN HIS PLACE.

Evidently it needs a Democratic admnis-

in intelligence and governing capacity, these

Hon. JAS. w. seaton. of Potosi, a Candidate for
the Democratic Congressional Nomi alton.


Published by Request.l
knowing that several worthy gen.
tlemcn were named 10 connection
with the Democratic nomination for
Congress, and knowing full well that
SUCCESS depends rs much upon the
man as upon the measures OF our
choice, | have elected the views of
snch Democrats as | thought would
give an unbiased expression of the
sentiments of their several localities,
and while they speak favorabIy and
highly of several others l find that j.
w. Seaton, of PotosI, if be does not
lead the list. it is conceded that he is
the strongest we could place upon
the ticket.
herewith append short extracts
pertinent to my own and that of
many others of our towns prospect
i've OF party
A Beotown friend says, Hon. j.
w. Seaton stands well in this Sec
ton and if nominated would com.
mand as large a vote as any of the
prospective candicatos. Another
person Bloomington writes 81. w.
Seaton commands the respect OF the
democracy in this part of tho county
as well as the respect of many OUT
side of our ranks" A warm friend
writes from Cassville that Dewey is
there their first choice, but in event
of his not being successful, they
would support Seaton in preference
to any other mentioned. A Fairplay
democrat who stands as high if not
higher than any other democrat in
the town says, 81 have long thought
of j. w Seaton as q fit person to
represent us in Congress and do
believe il nominated he will poll as
large if DOT larger vote than any 9TH
or the Democrats could put forward
certainly in the county where he
is 80 we'll known, he would get, |
think, q majority of the votes al
though the odds are so largely
against us. The south part of the
county would vote for him in con-
vention no matter who else might be
candidate. He is a man without
blemish and fully capable to fill the
Office" And lastly, permit me TO
add the opinion of a gentleman of
Mineral Point, one who stands high
in the opinions of the people and one
whose opinion is second to none in
the District, and Of which the recip-
lent may we'll feel proud whether he
succeeds to the honorable position
of congressional candidate or not,
speaking of Mr.. Seaton says, "your
townsman is sterling man and oc-
cupies high place in my opinion
and esteem. | feel sure that he
would make a strong candidate for
us, and should he receive the nomi-
nation | shall take pleasure in in
dorsing him among our political
friends.
What we must particularly seek
Us union among ourselves and | feel
as you do that Mr.. Seaton would
unite sill Gs well as any other gen.
tleman among us"

1t remains to be seen how much
of this money will be used upon the
several works. The President sent
spccial message to Congress with
the law, giving his reasons for sign
ing the bill, and stating in general
his objection to it. He deems q
number of the appropriations of
loeal rather than national character,
and considers that this bill has been
delayed so lAtc in the season that
much of tho money cannot now be
wisely expended. Again, he points
out that the utmost economy is
necessary in view of the reduced ap-
preparation for collecting the rev.
enue, and finally put his foot down
and says: "Under no circum-
stances will | allow expenditures
