THE GREAT GUBILEE
That Begins In Cincinnati July 4th.


Not many days intervene between now and
the opening of the Centennial Exposition
that opens its doors in Cincinnati on the Ma
tons birthday. to continue 100 days and
nights. This Jubilee is held in commemora-
tion of the Tooth anniversary of the first set
tlement of the Northwest Territory, and is
designed to show the grand strides made in
the past century in the arts, sciences and in
dustries of the land, and the advance in civil
lization as embodied in the improvements
made upon the primitive modes and customs
of the pioneers of one hundred years ago.
The local management in charge of the en-
terprise are amply provided with funds to
meet the immense outlay necessary for the
perfection of the necessary details, the bust
ness community having generously voted an
appropriation out of their own pockets, in the
shape of guarantee notes, to the amount of
1,05O,0OO. With part of this sum splendid
temporary structures have been erected, which
in addition to the permanent structure, un-
excelled for beauty and extent on this CONT
nent, give better facilities for an enterprise
of this kind than were ever before enjoyed in
this country. Ithas been the aim of the Board
to make the Exposition more than a mere To-
cal industrial display, and with this object in
view, the cooperation of the eleven States has
been secured, each one of which will have a
seperate and distinct display of its products
with five assistant Commissioners each, have
been busy at work in arousing an interest in
the enterprise, and have effected organiza-
tions that will be powerful auxiliary in
making the Centennial Exposition almost
National in its character. To this can be
added the interest taken in it by the General
Government, as is manifested in the bill to
appropriate large sum of money for the pur-
pose of transferring many treasures and Gu
riosities in Washington to Cincinnati, which
has been favorably reported back to the
House, and which will, no doubt, be allowed.
The press, the pulpit, and the schools, not
only in Cincinnati, but in sister cities, have
become enthused, and all are combining to
give aid and comfort to the Exposition.
Persistent, profuse and judicious advertis-
ing has been brought to bear in all sections
of the country, and this has stirred up exhib-
itors to an extent hardly hoped for at the in
ception of the enterprise.
Applications for space have poured in with
wonderful rapidity, and those who have de-
layed asking for space are in danger of being
''left in the cold"
The outlook for pronounced success is re-
markably bright. and the Board of Commits
sioners are delighted with the result of their
labors SO far.

B- Representative Boothman, of the sixth
district, has been most efficient in looking
after the interest of his constituents. There
should be no doubt about his reelection. The
people, when they get man in Congress who
serves them well, should keep him there.
There is no question of National policy on
which Mr.. Boothman does not represent at
least four-fifths of his constituents.-To
Commercial.
Will the Commercial tell us in what way
Mr.. Boothman has been 80 efficient in look
ing after the interests of his constituents?
What has he ever accomplished as Repre-
sentative in Congress that entities him to the
reelection You so much desire. He repre-
sents the majority of the people of this dis
trict on all questions of National policy, does
he? We think not. The people in this dis
trict who demand the abolishment of the
the present system of pnblic robbery in the
name of Protection to American Industries
are in the majority something like one thou
sand. Mr.. Boothman win vote with the mi-
nority on the Mills bill, and by SO doing he
will certainly not represent four-ffths or

.B Straws as we'll as paper on the street
usually tell which way the wind blows. About
this season of a Presidential year men and
boys seem to talk politics and base ball with
as much vim as women and girls take to
spring bonnets and house plants. Among the
first salutation upon meeting is, "who is go
ing to be nominated for President?' While
making few business calls in Toledo one
evening last week, the first one met pro-
pounded this conundrum. He remarked that
he had voted the Republican ticket in the six
or seven years that he had been a voter, but
if Cleveland was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis or any other party, he would vote for
him, and said he knew many others that
would do the same. He was informed that
this was his privilege. The next met was a
mugwump Democratic editor, who, after the
usual salutation said he would vote for Blaine
if he was nominated as Cleveland had not
stood by his friends in turning Republicans
out and putting Democrats in Office. The
next met was Republican; said he had been
in the army, but did not lay much stress on
this, but he believed there should be honesty
in politics the same as in business, and If
Cleveland was nominated he would support
him. These were the only three unsolicited
direct declarations given. They will answer
for straws for both parties. 81 Pe,Tysbu,g Jour

~ Is it possible that President Cleveland
has yet a surprise in store for his. party?
Having fully committed himself to the one
term theory, suppose he refuse to permit his
name to go before the st. Louis convention.
The Man of Destiny has performed as singu-
lar feats as that before enow.-Toledo Journal.
In that event, the Democratic party has a
score or more of good and true names to pick
from, but President Cleveland is not candi-
date of his own choosing, the people, his par
ty, has called him, UNANIMOUSLY, and he will
accept. If it were not so, the people would
have known of it ere this. President Cleve-
land will be renominated and he will be re-
elected.

National Democratic Con-
yentiOn.

The National Democratic Committee hav-
ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d
day of February, 1888, has appointed Tues
day, the 9TH day of June next, at noon, as the
time and chosen the city of st. Louis as the
place for holding the National Convention.
Each State is entitled to a representation
therein equal to double the number of its
Senators and Representatives in the Congress
of the United States, and each territory and
the District of Columbia shall have two

All Democratic and conservative citizens
of the United States, irrespective of past
political associations and differences, who
can unite with us in the effort for pure,

tB-The Republican party, through its
Representatives in Washington, is inviting
a defeat at the polls next fall that will be sure
to come il the supreme idiocy of advocating
the removal of duty from tobacco and high
wines is not dropped, and the reduction of
the tariff, if made at all, directed to other
articles. 1t will be found that very large
and eminently respectable portion Of the Re-
publican party will decline to enter the bust
ness of running their fellows, by making
tobacco and whiskey mole plentiful and
cheaper. When Mr.. James G. Blaine de-
clared tobacco to be necessity that should
have the duty removed, he lost the respect of
thousands of men who had admired his
genius, but who were unwilling to subscribe to
his demagoguery. If free whiskey and free
tobacco shall constitute planks in the Repub-
lican platform, that party will receive the de-
feat it merits. No organization making
claims to progress and purity, can afford to
saddle itself with such a stultifying load as
this.-F. Wayne Ne,os, (Rep.)

~ The Cleveland Globe, the colored peo-
ple's Ohio organ, declares loudly for Grover
Cleveland, recognizing in him the President
of the whole people without any limitations
or restrictions. The course of the Globe is
another evidence that the colored people have
tired of voting the Republican ticket like so
many sheep, and this year thousands of them
will cast their vote for Cleveland, in the
North as we'll as the South.

.B-The Republican papers, with few hon.
orable exceptions, are after Judge Melville
W. Fuller, the newly appointed Chief Justice,
like pack of devils, charging him with be-
ing traitor, copperhead, disloyal, etc. The
object of this malignant crusade against Mr..
Fuller is to delay his confirmation by the U.
s. Senate until after the Presidential elect
ion, in the hope that Republican President
may be elected and then Fuller's appoint
ment is to be rejected and the place thus kept
vacant until Republican can be appointed.
This contingency is exceedingly remote and
yet there is nothing too infamous for the Re-
publicans to attempt in the hope of maintain
ing their grip on the offices. But this nefarious
scheme will fail. Both of the Illinois Sena-
tors speak in the highest terms of Judge Full
er and the Chicago Tribune, the leading Re-
publican paper of the Northwest, which is
published at Mr.. Fuller's home, says of him:
Melville w. Fuller was never traitor, nev-
er worked in the dark, was never an offensive
partisan, and has nothing in his record over
which he is anxious to draw the veil"
