has announced himself as decidedly in
favor Of closing the fair on the Sab

debated, and | believe that two to one
will oppose the opening. l shall.
also think that many more wonld stay
away from the exposition altogether, if
it be opened Sunday than would go on
that day, so that from the financial
aspect alone it would be unwise to open
it on that day. As for the claim that it
ought TO be opened on Sunday for the
Chicago workingmen, / have only to
say that l think the broad spirit which
has ever characterized Chicago will be
shown during the fair and day off be
granted to all employees to let them visit
the fair. and have no doubt that no
honest, sober and industrious working
man will have any difficulty in seeing
as much of the fair as he desires"

1t is difficult to understand how earn
est, level headed republicans can con-
tinue TO argue that Secretary Blaine will
be candidate for the presidential
nomination. Mr.. Blaine has made a
public statement that he is not, and will
not be a candidate, and certainly he can
be depended upon to keep his word.
Blaine is without doubt the greatest
living statesman. and the most popular
man in the republican party. But since
he has, for good reasons, declined to &C
cept the honor of a presidential nomi-
nation, there is but one course for the
party to pursue, and that is nominate
and re'elect Benz. Harrison, whose ad.
ministration has been clean one, who
has demonstrated his executive ability,
who has given the best possible eyi-
dence that he is fitted to preside over
this great nation with dignity, and that
an excellent judgement guides him in
the administration ofits affairs.
