The following are few good
reasons for keeping the Worlds Fair
closed on Sunday: An open fair
would lead to the running of special
Sunday excursions, which would
have a demoralizing influence upon
the communities through which they
pass, and pour into Chicago largely
the vicious elements Of society. An
open fair ON Sunday will lead to a
permanent increase of labor on that
day, thus depriving wage workers OF
their needed rest and eventually
compelling them to work for seven
days in a week in order to hold their
and un-American, and place us in a
false light before the nations of the
earth, which will expect us to show
respect for our National traditions
and customs; which we have done
in all European expositiOns Ivy closing
our exhibits on Sunday. 1t would
encourage the spirit OF anarchy
which is even now rife in our large
cities, threa tening the overthrow Of
our National institutions. 1t would
ignore the moral and religious
elements of this country, inasmucl1
as they have freely expressed item
selves in opposition to an open fair
Oh Sunday. 1t would be violation
of the law OF God, which is supreme
and the foundation of all civil gov
eminent, and as such it ought to be
respected and obeyed.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 19-The escape of
Senator Davis from defeat was the mar
rowest in the history of Minnesota poll
tics In the vote in separate houses,
Mr.. Davis received 81 votes in total of
1877, with Representative Holler, of
Wright county absent. The balloting
in joint session began amid much ex-
element because it had become pretty
generally known that Senator Guderian
of Anoka. aud Representatives Christie,
OF Albert Lea, and Carlson, Of Mime
apolis, had concluded to desert Davis.
The anti-Davis men figured that this
detection would bring his vote down to
"a, one short of a majority. When the
clerk of the house reached the name of
Holler in calling the roll, however, that
gentleman, supposed to be miles away
in the country, stepped into the house
and cast his vote for Davis, giving him
85 votes, just enough to elect him
Daniel w. Lawler received 49 votes and

Rumors of Stampede from Clarke

HELENA, Mon Jan. 19-Before the
balloting began there was rumor
abroad that there would be a sufficient
stampede from Clark to Dixon to elect
him. There was a hitch somewhere,
however, and the roll call resulted:
Sanders 81, Clark %, Dixon II, Collins

not be elected, and the majority of
those voting for him are inclined to go
over to Dixon because the latter can be
elected with the assistance of Populists
Bray and Matthews, who again voted
for him. It is also stated that Beecher

consequently wider opp ,rtunities for
