GOV. FLOWERS DECLINATION.
No Surprise to Democratic Managers.
Looking to whitney or Lamont.

Flowers declination Of denomination for
the gcvernorship of New York, which was
anticiT ated n The Star on Monday, was a
prearranged thing. and was, of course, no
surprise to the democratic managers here.
The democratic managers are very gravely
concerned about the election in the empire
state this fall. and they have been playing
for the withdrawal of Flower in the hopes
of being able to settle upon a candidate
who could hold the support Of both fac
tions Of the party in the state. The ques-
ton has been whether Flower could be in
duced to retire. The Indications Of repub-
lican success this fall aided them In their
designs upon Mr.. Flower, who is not am
bilious to be defeated.
The idea of the democratic national man.
ayers is that Lamont or Whitney will be
the candidate. There is a great deal of un-
certain ty in their minds. however. as to
what the plans of Mr.. Hill may be- and,
while they may ignore him in national af-
fairs. they have to take him into account
In New York state. The rumors that he Is
not disinclined to let an administration
candidate stand up for defeat are disquiet-
ing.

Many good things have been sail
OF the Fair, but none better than
this: That IT is vast work To
build the Exposition, but task of
scarcely less moment to trace it's
growth, picture it in all its present
magnitude, and point out the paths
along which one must walk IN order
to derive the most advantage from
il. This 10 the work which Hubert
". Bancroft IN his Book or THE
BAIR is accomplishing. The Co
lum bian Exposition was long step
in advance OF that held in Paris,
five years ago the Paris Exposi-
ton was an advance on that pre-
sented TO the world during our CEN
tenary, and the Philadelphia Exhi-
bition was superior to that organ
Ized IA Vienna, three years before.
And so on. back to the FIRST worlds
fair organized in London over forty
years ago, and buck to the local aud
the national fairs held in Europc
and the far East centuries ago-tho
pictures get fainter and smaller,

century and enjoy the advantages
of its broad civilization. The irst
