Sioux Falls, Oak, Nov. 10-The state
ments made by Abe Boynton as con-
tained in recent Washington dispatches
appear somewhat ridiculous to his
acquaintance and supporters here at
home and plainly display the difference
between the man and the politician.
Here Abe is considered a royal good
fellow, and two years ago. when he asked
to be elected delegate to the constitu.
tional convention. he received the sup
port OF both parties. AS member of that
convention be was very enthusiastic
supporter OF the measures for division
and statehood and was one of the few who
favored the election at once of full set
of state officers and the election OF q
seperate state government, and WAS one
of the committee appointed to present
the constitution to congress and press
Dakota's claims for statehood. Now
Mr.. Boynton, having been appointed

pleasant. The commercial exchanges

! pended. Flags are displayed through
out the city and on the shipping. The
initial feature of the ceremonies was
the procession, which moved promptly
at 1870 o'clock. First came the military,
followed by o long line of carriages oc-
cupled by the managers of the exposi-
ton; United States, state and city Of
| ticiais; foreign consuls and invited
guests. The procession moved through
out the principal streets to the head of
Canal street in lreadiness to convey the
participants to the exposition grounds.
| The procession disembarked at the
exposition grounds amid the booming OF
cannon from the Mexican gunboat Inde-
pendip, and salute from the batteries
'on shore. The cortege marched with
bands playing into Music hall. This
vast hall, accommodating 10000 persons,
was eiaborately decorated and thronged
| with an audience which filled not only
the seats and aisles, but the galleries
and areas outside. On the stage were
grouped 500 chorus singers, who sang
with the accompaniment of a band of
fifty pieces, the anthem Hail Columbia.
Many distinguished persons were on
the platform. Among those were
Minister Romero, of Mexico; Gov. Nc
Emery, of Louisiana, and staff; consuls
of Great Britain, France, Spain, Ger
many, Italy, Portugal. Russia, Belgium,
Austria, Brazil, Mexico and other
nations, Bishop Galleher and other
Louisiana elergymen from this state,

the commissioners, in which he discus
sed the advantages of the EXPOSITION
Senor Romero, Mexican minister to the
United states, in a speech announced
that he had been asked by President
Diaz to represent him at the opening.
Senor Romero described the benefits
that would accrue from the development
of commercial relations among the
American countries, especially between
Mexico and the United States, The
number of people visiting the ground
during the day is estimated at $4,000.

Jones Won't Paw.

New York, Nov. 8-General Edward
r. Jones, the successful democratic can.
didate for lieutenant governor, has
calmly refused to pay the assessment
levied by the stats committee. The
democratic state com mittee found itself
IN great quandary when Flower de-
clined the nomination for lieutenant
government. While the commission. was
considering severa names, Governor
Hills attention was called to the great
Jones of Binghamton, and the SCALE
marker was himself brought on here
to show himself. The situation was
explained to him, and while his
assessment was put down as something
like $4,000, it was expected that he
would put up two or three times that
amount. The governor put up his
money like little man" as the demo-
cratic statesman said, but Jones content
ed himself with promises. He nodded
assent to everything that was said to
him, and he was declared the nominee
for lieutenant governor. But nothing
was heard from JONES after he had been
nominated. He went about the state
making speeches. The committee tele-
graphed him, but no heed vas paid to
the dispatches. Chairman O'Brien, of
the state committee; Chairman William
mullen, of the executive committee, and
others held consultations and obtained
advances OF money on the security of
Jones big contribution, which they said
would come to hand in day or two, but
not dollar was received from Gen.
jones. They continued to press him for
money, but none was forthcoming, and,
to make the matter worse even after he
knew that he had been elected; he
declined to settle the freight charges"
The result of Gen. Jones' course was TO
put the state committee Sin a hole"
1t could not pay its bills without again
passing around the hat. All the mem
bers are quietly calling the scale maker
unoompllmentary names, and some of
them say he took the nomination for
lieutenant governor merely as an ad-
vertising scheme to help his business.
