CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-In the presence OF
a hundred thousand people and amid
the echoes of the largest chorus assem-
bled in the history of modern times the
Worlds Columbian Exposition was
formally dedicated to-day by the digni-
taries Of the nation. The event was
one well designed to inspire the loyalty
OF the American heart. Marking, as it
did, the first international exposition to
be participated in by every civilized ma
ton OF the globe, the occasion was equal
ly significant in being devoid of that
pomp and pageantry which have char
acterlzed the worlds fairs OF monarchial
Europe. The inaugural ceremonies OF
to-day we're triumph to republican in
stitutions, triumph greater than all
the gIories OF war.
To the parent republic OF the western
hemisphere had been reserved tho dis
tinction OF so winning the good will
and admiration OF all the world, that
kings, emperors, czars, sultans, mika-
dos, khans, and shahs, have each ex-
tended the hand ofinternational fellow
ship to the American people, and
crowned with their benediction and ap-
proval the exposition to be held under
the patronage OF the republic.
AS the discovery OF Columbus marks
an epoch in the worlds history, the oc-
casion Of to-day marks an epoch in the
worlds civilization. 1t means that the
petty jealousies OF the past have been
put away by the enlightened nations OF
the earth, and relegated to the ages
that have gone, and that upon a neu-
tral ground nation, like men, assemble
in nfraternal greeting and recognize that
bond OF common humanity that makes
brothers OF US all. The fierce rivalry OF
arms has given place to the friendly
competition OF commerce. The selfish
greed for power has given away to a
thirst for enlightenment, to desire
for national and intellectual develop
ment.

81 Can Win without New York;

According to correspondent OF tho Ne,c
York Tribune at Chicago. Senator BIIcE
is authority for the statement that Mr.
GROVER CLEVELAND recently remarked,
when told that he could not carry New
York. Il can win without New York"
This is another way OF expressing Mr..
CLEvELAND's favorite theory that he is
greater than his party. The Democracy
cannot win without New York. Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND thinks he can.
There have been twenty-six Presidential
elections. Never but once has any candi-
date for President OF any party won the
election without the vote Of the State from
which he hailed. The single exception was
In tho case OF JAMES X. Polk. in 1874, when
Tennessee gave its vote for HENRY CLAY.
But New York voted for Polk. although
Tennessee did not.
He can win without New York, can he :?
No doubt he is willing to try. He has
everything to gain and nothing to lose by
the experiment. The loss falls on the party
which gives him the chance after the dire
warning OF 1888.

Mr.. CLEVELAND received minority OF
14.i73; Governor HILL received plu-
rslity OF 1911. The Mugwump vote
showed itself in Governor HILLS In
creased plurality; its effect for the unfor-
tunates who received 1t was not evident.
The Mugwumps voted for MILLER for
| Governor, but are supposed not TO have
voted for Col. CRUdER. the Repub-
lican candidate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
DR.. MILLER ran 2.676 votes ahead OF Col.
CRUGER. Probably good many OF these
votes came from friends OF high license
who were not Mugwumps. On tho other
hand. the Republican candidate for Judge
OF the Court OF Appeals. who was not sup
ported by tho Mugwumps, ran 14o ahead OF
DR.. MILLER. That good but unfortunate
citizen was tho victim Of the Mugwump hoo
doc. The Mugwump vote in 1888 lies some
where between 2.676 and l40: very likely the
latter figures are the more accurate.
In 1890 the HILL haters, the same old
ganglet OF Mugwumps and kickers. the
same old independents" united to beat
the regular Democracy in this town; and
their efforts were rewarded with the usual
amount OF success. The straight Demo-
cratic ticket was elected In spite Of them
by rousing majority.
In local elections, in State elections. In
national elections. the Mugwump indie
pendent vote has but ono effect. Cast
against tho Democratic ticket. that ticket
is successful by largo plurality. Cast for
the Democratic ticket as in 1884. the Demo-
cratic ticket has n tight squeak. Only
piece of good luck with which the Mug
wumps had nothing to do prevented CLEvE-
LAND from being beaten In 1884. Since that
time the Democratic contempt for the Mug
wumps has been increasing in geometrical
progression. 1t is n feeling which the New
York Democrats can afford to maintain. for
it is based upon sound mathematics. Tho
Mugwump vote is good thing not to have.

ment OF national separation. There Is
some reason to believe that. but for this
obnoxious feature. the Home Rule bill OF
1886 might have been carried: at all events.
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN made this tho basis for
his refusal to vote for it. During the
last six years Mr.. GLADSTONE has several
times announced that his next home rule
measure would be modified so as to permit
the retention of Irish members at ut.
Stephens. These declarations have boon
made. Notwithstanding the dissent OF Mr.
MORLEY. who prefers the original bill, on
the ground OF its presenting fewer practi-
cal difficulties. 1t would be difficult at this
late hour to induce the rank and file Of the
party to accept Mr.. MoBLEY's position. 1t
is satisfactory. therefore. to learn that Mr..
SoHNApHoRsr has by a circular assured the
Liberal associations that Mr.. GLApsroNE's
plans remain unchanged.

For the South to Consider.

GROVER CLEvELAND's first treacherous
blow for delegates in the Empire State was
struck through the GRAcE-FAIRCHILD-R Re-
publican combination in 1890 to beat the
Democratic nominee for Mayor Of the city
OF New York. In that year the Force bill
was hanging over tho South. If the CLEvE-
LAND conspiracy had succeeded. the Claim
ant would have gained some share in con-
trolling the Democratic delegation. and the
Republicans In controlling tho city Govern
melt Mt the time when the question Of the
Force bill is to be finally settled.
This same GRACE-FAIRCHILD combina-
ton Is now trying to overthrow the New
York Democratic organization, not OF this
city. but OF the State for the glory Of the
same dumb and corpulent beneficiary. The
Republicans are not again in open partner
ship. but their interest in the success Of
Mcssrs. GRACE and FAIRCHILD is moro i'll
tense than ever. Their salvation in No
vcmber depends on it.
Let Democrats and especially Southern
Democrats, beware Of tho Vaccinations Of
GRACE and FARCHILD. The Force bill is in
them now, as it was in 1890.

That was good ncws for all admirers OF

Saturday the day following the publication OF
the despatch from Chicago. an editorial cor
rection of the statement 1t Is evidently from
the Majors own pen:
This statement WAS slightly incorrect It 10 not sx

but even at that weight the correspondent WAS right
when he said that 1t Is already apparent that this

Its owner and beat the record In weight condition
OF any steer ever exhibited in the agricultural world
Whether tho steer weighs two tons and a

The Hon. WILSON S. BIssELL of Buffalo is
In Chicago striving TO boost Mr.. CLEVELAND
He was found last Friday in a state of sur
prise by Tribune correspondent. - am
quite surprised" Quoth the ingenious Mr.
BIsSELL. " that such astuto politicians as
HILLS friends arc credited with being
should ignore the force and power of the
independent vote Of New York"
The reason. astounded Mr. BIsSELL, why
Mr.. HILLS friends IGNORE" tho so-culled
Independent vote in Now York is because
they know by experience that it doesn't
amount to silver. In 1885. with every
Mugwump in the Stato stamping and
snorting for IRA DAVENPORT the Rcpub-
lican candidate for Governor, and rag
Ing against Governor Hill Just as
the sume gang is doing now. Governor
HILL was reelected by Il plurality of ll,l84,
which was bigger by l0,lS7 than the plural
ity received by GROVER CLEVELAND in 1854.
The Mugwump luminosity was confined to
the head of the democratic ticket and il we
may estimate tho size of tho MugwumD
vote by tho excess which Gen. CARR. the
Republican candidate for Lieutenont-Gov-
ernor had over DAVENPORT. the Mugwump
vote in 1885 WAS LOTT; but as Gen. CARR got
many votes from Democratic old soldiers,
this figure is too high. The fuircst way to
estimate tho Mugwump vote in 1880 is
to compare the vote of tho Repub-
lean candidates for Secretary Of State
Comptroller. Acknowledgement. Treas
urcr. and State Engineer and Sur
veyor. with the vote for DAVENPORT.
Tho average vote for these five candidates
lSl DlT. tnp hupIyuDnr "A In,
to this calculation would amount to 1,OI4.
OF course. nobody could prove that the
Mugwump vote in New York was MS largo
rs that. but Mr.. Hills friends. that is. the
Democrats OF New York. have always been
willing to admit that it might in excep-
tonal years reach 1000. They were worry
glad to have the Mugwunps oppose him in
1885. for as Il result Democratic activity was
lespeclany stimulated. and the comfortable
plurality of ll.l34 for Governor Hill was
Il led up. a plurality greater by 1913 votes
than that received by the Democratic can
didate for MISUNDERSTANDING tho Hon.
EDWARD FUTILITY JONES. who had not yet
been found out. and whose mustachios
waved in the winds of popularity.
In 1888 Governor HILL had another oppor-
tunity of learning the value Of the Mug
wump vote 10 the side against which it was
cast. The same men who arc now bowling
for Mr.. CLEVELAND and against Mr.. Hill
at Chicago were doing exactly that in New
York. The great Mugwump independent
vote was going TO elect CLEVELAND and
beat HILL. Governor HILL worked his
hardest for CLEvRLAND. but against the
