should be held al the center of the coun-
try. St Louis was nearest and Chi
cago next. lie would vote first for
ST. Louis and next for Chicago
Congress, however. had no author
ity 70 hold fair elsewhere than in the
District OF Columbia or the Territories.
He also opposed the appropriation of
81. 500, 600. II State.wanted the fair
its citizens had only 10 incorporate
themselves and hold it. So he was op-
posed to the bills reported and would
vote for them only after they had been
amended to meet his views.
Messrs. Kinsey MO-, O'Neil 0nd. },
Wilson MOI, Forman Qll.) and Hatch
mo also advocated the claims of ST.
Louis.
Mr.. Cultivate (O.) believed the fair
should be held west Of the Alleghenies.
Let New York have the naval demon
stration She could do that even if the
fair were held in the West. Obeying
the Joint resolutions unanimously passed
by his State Legislature ane his own
impulses he favored Chicago - that
proud city on the shores of Lake Michi-
gan. 1t was the great railroad center OF
the country; 1000 trains could pass
through in day. All roads led to Chi
cago.
Mr.. Mason 0ll.) said there was one
great good to fow from this fair. His
Southern brothers charged the Re-
publicans with unkindness and too
severe criticism in political matters.
They in turn charged the South
ern people with the same
faults, and partisan bitterness
was aroused. How could we better
stop this than by meeting on a common
ground in a common cause. Come TO
Chicago, said he, and see whether her
hospitality differed much from that in
Georgia, Mississippi or Kentucky. Said
he:
Come. and in the shoulder TO shoulder touch
march TO a better understanding Come and
let the cotton fields OF the South meet our great
grain fields Of the North. Come and warm your
hearts at the forges Of the North while we melt
out the ore Of the South and with
the hammer and anvil Of personal con
tact let US beat out better friendship Come
bring down the looms from New England and
weave for al 70 see tho cotton raised on our
soil, and the fast flying shuttle win weave into
/ its web and woof new and better song, pro
/ phetic of a new and better union. Come, and
/ ls92 viii &c milestone in our existence. "a
| nous for is march OF civilization, famous for
| its advancement in agriculture and commerce
/ famous FOR Us growth in the arts and sciences
/ famous for its poetry sentiment and song
/ grander and better than all famous for tearing
1 down the walls standing between Us"
Messrs. Gear CIa.). Kerr (Ia.) and
Owen Ind. spoke for Chicago, and were
followed BY Mr.. Springer Ill.), who
/ dwelt upon the great expense Of holding
the celebration at New York, even as
I shown by Chauncey Depew's estimate.
/ He referred to the failure of New York
10 complete the Grant monu
ment. Deduct tho $1,000, 900 needed
I for the buildings a. New
York, and but $1,000 600 would be left oi
the Albany appropriation. Compare
that with Chicago's proposition SO.
000 000 in money and site. Chicago
would ask but $500 600 or 1900. 000 from
he Government, and that for its OWL
exhibit II the fair were located IL
New York Il would in all probability
be failure. Platt and his
friends BY tho two-thirds rule could
veto any action which they did not ap
prove. Il was the opinion OF The ahles
lawyers in New York that the Albany
/ $40. 600. 900 bill was unconstitu tiousl
and that TIE taxpayers could success
fully resist the imposition Of he charge
