THE FAIR AND THE PARTIES.

TIE FAIR AND THE PARTIES.
Here is hint of what would happen
If Congress should locate the Worlds
Fair in New York. The New York
Times of Yesterday said:
Should the State of New York now fail
to secure from Congress the selection of the
City of New York as the site Of the Worlds
Fair of 1892, It is perfectly evident that, so
far as Washington will have anything to do
with furnishing an explanation of the fail
ure, it will attribute it to the Interference
and hostility of the Republican party In the
State of New York.
II is logical, then, to conclude that
should Congress choose New York as
the site the Democratic party in that
State would claim triumph.
Whichever way the matter is decided
il is manifest that, so far as New York
is concerned, partisan politics is going
to be consideration paramount to the
real purpose of the great memorial fair.
The more the people of this land con-
slider the fact that 1899 will be year
of political hustling in New York; the
more they contemplate the spectacle of
a lot of cheap politicians using this
memorial for their petty ends, the more
unsafe it will be for the present Con-
gress to locate the fair in such an at
mOsphere.

CHICAGO is immensely pleased over the
fact that the tslors held their convention
there. Perhaps the tailors were duly con-

prove that Chicago had anything to dress
but hogs.

Harmony Does Not Exist Between the
Democrats OF the Tenth wand
There was meeting of the Tenth
Ward Democratic Club at Ringuette's
ball, corner of Flfth-aye. ana DIVISION
ST., last night. According to notices
sent out ali were invited 70 attend.
President Kirkwood called about twen-
ty men and boys together, after winch
10 Was proposed 10 take recess of five
minutes to allow those wishing 10 be-
come members 10 JON. To this propo-
sltlOn there were numerous protesta-
tions, as az q previous meeting II had
been decided that all who wished to
JOIN would be oil ged to send IN their
names, so that they could De submitted to
a committee on membership. The OBJ
jectious were overTuled, however, and
one solitary individual stepped Up,
scribbled his John Hancock across the
roll, laid down bright silver dollar and
sat down again, apparently happy.
There did not seem TO be any others
present who felt disposed to part wl,h
their money and 1t was suggested that
the roll be circulated. The first man
they struck was follower OF Democra-
cv, but he did not believe in the Tenth
Ward Democratic Club. lie impaired
the important information that there
was a split IN the party. From lis con-
versauOn il could easily be seen the way
the wind was blowing. There are two
factions III the ward, one OF which is
composed of those gathered together
last night, and the otter is headed by
Fred Temple. Jealousy exists and
Temple was referred 10 rs a sOrehead q.
Such expressions were Indulged IN and
the necessity of healing over the fac
uonal fight was urged, but of no avail.
Iae gentleman would rot join.
After the recess man with n very
broad German accent arose and said:
ut vas my opinions dat this vas one
phrlyate meetings, und makes mo-
ton vOnce that al who vas not MEM
bers should be excluded ut every meet
ings hereafter, urd dis evenings as
wells" The motion WAS carried and F.
II. Gill, Alderman Carpenter and 9TH
ers took the hint and walked out. Thus
what was advertised to be a pubic
meeting was suddenly turned into a
private one.
