The New York newspaper exposition boomers


The New York newspaper exposition boomers
do not seem to be happy.
The Sun remarks sadly that MANY of the
citizens whom Mayor Grant invited to next
Thursdays exposition conference are out of
town"
The World SAYS wrathfully: las was feared.
several fool newspapers are beginning to dis
euss with more or less acrimony the question
OF a location for the proposed exposition in
this city IN 1892 The real-estate boomers are
evidently alert. What nonsense it is TO en-
barrass the movement now by a dispute over a
site. If this issue is raised now a great many
good people may be alienated or be at least
dashed as to their spirits"
The Tribune dwels pathetically upon the
importance OF making good start and saws:
The business to be transacted ought not TO be
left 10 the chance suggestions of the hour, but
q weIl-thOught-out plan should be arranged in
advance which the meeting can alter, amend,
extend and improve as it sees fit
The Hsrdd says pensively that when Gen.
Grant abandoned q similar project several
years ago he bitterly remarked that New York
had outgrOwn local pride and was lacking in
public spirit" The Herald adds that this il a
national affair and that it will require the
earnest and undivided support of every state
in the Union"
But nearly every state in the Union has already
pledged itself to the support of the Washing
ton exposition and II is quite certain that the
New York project has not ghost of a chance
II its execution depends upon the backing il
will get from the country at large. The New
Workers had better abandon their project. which
Is certain to be notifying abortion. and
