EXPOSITION.
It is proposed that Connecticut takes tim
by the forelock and begin to organize for
proper representation at the great quadri
centennial exposition in 1899. 1t has beer
suggested that Governor Buckley take tn,
initiative and call a convention of representa-
tives of boards of trades and individual in
dustries to consider the matter. This is al
excellent idea and it is to be hoped that oul
| worthy governor will set the wheels in
| motion. When 1t comes time to affect ,
| permanent organization it is probabl,
that the memory of the citizens of Connec.
ticut will run back to the splendid service
which Gen. Joseph R. Hawley performed af
president of the United States centennia
commission from 1878 until the affairs O.
the great exposition were closed up, and tina
| they will consider the advisability of placing
him at the head of the active work Of thu
State commission, If be will consent to as
sumo the onerous position. AS soon as the
hot weather is passed, 1t will be we'll to taxi
hold of this matter In earnest. By COM
msnoing early, Connecticut will be ensured
a representation in keeping with her dignity
| as State, her industrial and inventive pre-
| MISUNDERSTANDING Republican.
