FAssETr AND THE WORLDS FAIR.
So far as have yet heard the only reason that has
been urged BY our friends the enemy why everybody
should not vote Mr.. Fassett is that wretched Cd
chestnut that he prevented the Worlds Fair from coming
TO our city Well Mr. Fassett he didn't prevent It,
and If ANYBODY ought to know surely he ought daughter

argument heard advanced why we should not vote
Tor Mr.. Fdssett 1 am wrong. have heard one more
