CINCINNATI, O., geptember 81 suppose
an unbiased and unbought newspaper
writer may venture to tell the rock ribbed
and everlasting truth about the local al
fairs of his city when he Is writing for
print away from home. There is certain
con,mendable chivalry and patriotism
when you are writing for consumption
within the metes and bounds of your own
bailiwick that warps criticism; and there
is a kind of demoniac satisfaction IN
knocking the conventional proprieties out
of things when you steer for some otner
point OF the moral vineyard. The
Big Thing
in Cincinnati this week was the exposition
pageant 1t was a big thing, the vast
crowds of people that almost bIockaded the
streets constituting as much brilliant pa
eeantry as the organize procession. Events
of this kind are usually judged by the at.
tendance, and nobody can blame Cincinnati
people for their glorification over Wednes-
day s work. All the hotels Of the city were
crowded from foundation stone to turret,
and the visitors who camped in the parks
and subsisted on crackers and cheese werea

on the superiority of their presentments.
In the representation of "Cincinnatus at
the Plow," Cincinnatus was represented by
"galoot" with horrid legs, and with his
mouth in succulent converse with w heel-
ing "stogy." The oxen were about the size
of spring calves-as deficient in heft as the
calves of the distinguished plowman. Ihey

and be crushed by the wheels OF the wagon.
The funniest exhibition in the procession
was the big pig, sitting on beer Darrell,
with a music stand before him and SUP
posed to be directing large singing society
of smaller pigs, which were handsomely
represented on the cuts, but which were
not on the wagon. Taken altogether the

Southern People
who were familiar with the Mardi Gras ex-
hibitions of New Orleans and who were
here to see what the semi.southern city OF
Cincinnati could do, were moved to con-
tenptuous laughter. Cincinnati people,
YOU may be sure, did not enjoy this variety
but they brayely argued that the pageant
was not the whole show; that it was merely
a specular introduction to show that was
to last month, and make many thousands
of people better for having been here. The
people came, and that was the main thing
The exposition started out with boom
greater even than that of 1879, when
the new buildings were first occupied, and
there had been long rest after the Centen-
NAL. Whether the boom will hold out
remains to be seen.
Politics.
The Democrats continue 10 have the
whip-han in politics in Hamilton county,
but the Republicans have by no means
surrendered. There appears to be a hitch
in the matter OF calling the committees
and the campaign will probably be very
etc. The brewers are active, but not in CO.
operation with the Democratic party. They
are, however, 'firninst" the Republicans,
and the Democratic State, county and Con-
gressional tickets will profit by their activ-
ity. Many of the current publications
about squabbles and complications in the
Democratic Committee at Columbus grow
out of the failure of the brewers TO pour
their campaign contributions into the lap
of John G. Thompson. The matter OF the
Congressional Nominations
in Hamilton county is so near settlement
that there is no present interest in it, ex-
cept in the alleged race between Ex-Gover-
nor Tom Young and Ex-Collector Amor
Smith for the Republican nomination in
the second district Young has made no
conspicuous effort so far, but is believed to
be the strongest man, even without an ef-
