BIG DAY AT CHICAGO.

Chicago had one Of its biggest days for sev
eral years on Tuesday, on the occasion of open
ing its annual Exposition, preceded by Il
grand firemcn's tournament and military pa
rade, 10 which must be added n visit on the
same day, from President Hayes and party, on
their way to Minnesota. The presidential
party were met by Il special tTNln fifty miles
out and on their arrival escorted to the Grand
Pacific Hotel by procession mile long, con.
sistlng Of the frcmcn, military, &c. We don't
see that Rutherford made any speech. He re-
manned from about noon until six o'clock
Wednesday morning, when he took the train
for Minnesota
The fremen's display consisted of about so
engines. hose and hook and ladder companies,
gathered from all parts of the Northwest and
most of them dragging their machines The
military display was less imposing, consisting
of less than a regiment. Inc Exposition was
openeu with Que iOrmaIty on TUESDAY even

crowd, and music, speeches, &c.

CONGRESSMAN.

According TO the Joliet Signal of Tuesday
II appears by no means settled that Mr.. Brooks
declines the nomination for Congress rendered
him by the convention at Ottawa Last week.
The .SigH.ti says:
Notwithstanding the dispatch from Mr.
Brooks, notifying the convention that owing
To the illness Of hIs son, Mr. w. A. :. Brooks,
he would be compelled 10 decline the nOmina-
ton, yet the convention seemed disinclined TO
nominate another man, and adjourned, subject
10 the call of the central committee, who were
instructed To wait upon Mr. Brooks and urge
his acceptance OF the nomination. MrBroOks
was absent from the city when the commit
tee visited Joliet, consequently the action of
the committee in calling the convention to-
gethcr again is founded on assurances from
other persons than Mr. Brooks Ii is not vet
certain but that MIR. Brooks may accept His
son is in the Lake Superior region and should
reports of his improvement in health be re-
ceived in time, lac may accede to the wishes of
the Democracy as expressed through the CON
vention and enter the contest 10 win
The dcclination Of Mr.. Brooks, under the
eircums tances, was regarded as a misfortune,
and we hope when the convention assemblies
at Morris next week he will attend in person
and realizing the exact situation, be prevailed
upon 10 foregO his unwillingness to make the
run and let the nomination. made At first,

Monday, the first day of the fair, was devoted
as usual to making entries and getting things in

day of last week; and lumber and other material
had been hauled upon the ground for the cree
ton of booths; and Monday, besides its other
occupations, presented busy scene in getting
up these structures Indeed, between Floral Hall
and the Amphithcatrc quite village was rapidly

Phillips and others, created elaborate candy,

Shields. Unhappily all efforts had failed to get

would arrive. An elaborate committee of rccep

to discharge their duty crcditably. He was not
coming on any mid day train, that was positively
known; but on which evening or night train was
