There can be question to the advantage the
eloquent and witty president of the Hamilton Repub
Ncan Club had his antagonist. Mr.. Mason's
debate, instead of combating the arguments advanced
BY Mr.. Campbell, only served to strengthen the Re
publican side OF the question The debate has cost
the Democrats dearly, not only in Harlem but all over
the city and neighboring towns for so completely was

the Worlds Fair was lost to ewYOrk through Repub

singing rebuke to such peanut politics" at the polls
on Tuesday.
In the course Of the debate Colonel Campbell
brought incident which should be brought 70 the
attention of every wageworker who has been Influenced
by the Worlds Fair cry. and who may be under the
impression that he has lost work by the Worlds Fair
having gone TO Chicago. when THE New YORK
World, said Colonel Campbell, "was getting up its
petition TO bring the Worlds Fair to New-iork a
number of petition blanks were sent into the com
posing-oom of The World where over $50 compost
tors employed, for their signatures, under inc
supposition that the c0mp0otors of New-fork would
be benefited by having the Fair i'll this city. To the
surprise of the manager, however, not signature
could be obtained from the cOmpositors, all OF them
saving that having the Worlds Fair in New-iork
'would bring the unemployed labor from all creation
here and gut the labor market"
