possible MIR. Cleveland has lost friends
in Cincinnati by accepting an invitation
to visit our exposition and then declin-
ing on what will generally be regarded
us insufficient grounds"
"Tnrs campaign" says the Irish Ma
ton. las we have repeatedly said, Is a
fight for supremacy between the Eng
llsh and American commercial prin-
oiples. The protectionists who had the
upper hand here now for the last score
OF years and who have the splendid
record TO show which James G.. Blaine
set forth so lucidly in his letter OF ac-
oeptance, are sustaining the assault OF
the American disciples, hired or depu.cd,
Of the Golden club. 1t would not be
easy to put the nature OF the issue knit
more ooncisely or fairly than Is done by
the London Times in the following pas
sage: The United States do not APP
proach the question from the same
point OF view as ourselves. The object
of their statesman Is not to secure the
largest amount OF wealth for the country
generally, but to keep up, by whatever
means the standard OF comfort among
laboring classes. In other words the
protectionists work to secure comfort
for all and the free traders TO swell the
Golfers OF the capitalist"
ELSEWHERE in the LIGIIT will be found
letter from Sam NJ. johnson, Esq,
touching the policy Of the Republicans
OF Texas. Had this letter, or its senti-
ments, been as vigorously expressed
several months ago, 1t would probably
have had some effect The LIGIiT has
no apologies for Mr.. Rector, but 1t UNI
derstood all along that his canvass was
that Of Independent, and that he only
wanted clear field without nomina-
ton, and he would make the race MS an
Independent Republican and an advo-
cate OF protective tariff, but If the
friends of Mr. Gosling, who would not take
the nomination, insisted upon forcing 1t
upon Judge Rector in order to compll-
cate his views and his plans, 1t is not
SO much his fault as 1t is their own that
their alleged gift and honor is refused.
In State politics, since the majority of
delegates In convention assembled, with
vote Of 800 to 50 decided upon the i'm
practicability of nominating ticket,
which bakers dozen of boilers have
since done, and have always done when
they were outvoted, II is optional, in
the opinion Of the LIGHT, whether those
boilers have any claim or not upon the
party for their action, especially when
the majority is greatly against them.
The LIGHT gives Mr.. johnson the ben
eft Of its great circulation, but believes
that these vigorous suggestions regard
ing party policy come too late. The
long summer has been FILTERED away,
and upon the eve of the election. almost,
division is raised, and whatever unity
was in the party is broken because GER
tain men did not see fit to interest them
selves at the time when such action
would have been productive OF great
good.
That the Democratic leaders are
lodging the tariff issue of the campaign
Is quite evident, and IL is remarkable

The Opening of the Exposition.

The Director General of the World 5
Industrial and Cotton Centennial Expo
sition, Issued on Noy. 1st. the following
circular:
..rhe committee appointed by the man
agement TO confer with the President and
Executive Departments in respect to the
opening and inaugurating ceremonies of
the Worlds Exposition, report that in
asmuch as Congress conyenes on the day
heretofore announced for the opening OF
the Exposition. the opening ceremonies
could not then be inaugurited by the
President, executive officers and mein-
beers Of both houses of Congress, As con-
templated by the act of Congress and
earnestly desired by the management.
1t Is hereby announced that the formal
opening of the Worlds Industrial aud
Cotton Centennial Exposition will be ut
II O'Clock noon, Tuesday, December IL.
1854. Applications for space will be re-
ceiyed until November %.
Exhibits will be received until Decem-
Der 10, 1884, with the understanding that
all exhibits must be in place by opening
day
The demands for space have exceeded
anything in the history of former EXPOSE
tions. The management added 10000
square feet of exhibiting space to the
buildings originally designed, and ad-
vantage will be taken of the time now al
lowed to provide additional space for ex-
hibitors, who may rely upon disposition
10 accord reasonable space to all who
may apply. L. a. BURkE,
Director General.

At last. after quarter of a century. the
Democratic party is victorious. and Cleye-
land is our next President. The contest
was close one. especially in New York,
which State decided the election. New
York gave Cleveland plurality of 1900.
This, in total vote of the State of about
1.40O.000. is close indeed. OF course every
Southern State went for Cleveland by
handsome maiorities. Louisiana gives
Cleveland over 1000 majority.
Since the above was in type, dispatches
TO the Shreveport Times indicate some
uncertainty, after all, rs TO the result in
\. York. both parties claiming a plurality
for their respective candidates. The fol-
lowing condensed from the New York
Commercial .idrertiser explains the situa-
ton: sit is generally agreed to await
the announcement of the official vote of
the State. The Republicans do not deny
the claims of the Democrats, but say that
the official count will show the plurality
in favor of Blline.' This is the situation
now. and we must wait for the official
report to settle the matter.

Exposition Encampmeni of Veteran
Soldiers.

The Board of Management of the
Worlds Exposition has set aside the sum
Of $4,000 to meet the expense Incidental
to grand eneampment of veterans of the
late war between the States.
The arrangements for the friendly meet
ing of the men of both sides in the great
struggle have been confided to join,
committee, composed of six members
three from the Grand Army Of the Re-
public. and three from the Confederate
Associations of the Armies of Northern
Virginia, md of Tennessee.
The plan is to supply quarters and ra-
tons to ex-Union and ex-Confederate
soldiers free. TO this end the United
States Government will be asked to lend
one thousand tents, camp kettles and
other quartermaster's supplies.
Capt. c. Edgard Wheeler, of Topeka,
Kansas, and Col. York A. woodward. OF
this city, on behalf of the Grand Army of
the Republic. and Messrs, +. ID. Willet,
Col. Louis Power. Waiter ii. Rogers and
4. I.iliicnthal on behalf the ex-Confede-
rates were the chief promoters of the un-
dertaking that is expected to strengthen
the ties Of amity and good viii between
the veterans of the armies that contcnded
for the mastery twenty years ago.
The cause of that unhappy strife has
disappeared never to return again. and
We all now see that we are better off
without it.
The encampment will be next to the
Exposition grounds, and will be the
means Of attracting not only thousands
Of veteran soldiers, but tier children.
There will naturally be not little curl
osity on the part Of the rising generation
to see the old soldiers, most Of them
gray headed men now, inspect the ways
of camp life, and hear the recitals If
times that tried mems souls.
The scheme Of grand encampmcnt Of
veteran soldiers at the Worlds Exposi-
ton, appears to be one Of fl1e hapniest
conceptions attending the general plan.
that has thus far been fruitful il surprises
of : delightful and satisfying nature. Not
only can the people Of the whole country
participate IN the general enioymenf Of
this feature q the Worlds Congress. but
