parent explanation of the attitude of the board tow

If the Directors and officials Of the Exposition are
really doing the dreadful things they charged
with the members of the Board of Public Improve

filling their official responsibilities. \ surety

the future but will not bring the proper degree of
punishment for the past.
For what the Worlds Fair Directors and officials
have already done the board should invoke the inter-

the indictment of these malefactors. That is the
proper way 10 adequate measure of punish

the official ceremonies which proclaim the world
the fact that every dollar Of Mssouris bonded debt
has been paid Democrats are iealouSy selections

the credit of the State until Missouri is among
the most prosperous and solid of American Common

facr of Mssouri's enviable condition far and wide
While Missouri Democrats have been engaged in
the task of establishing the States credit among the
highest in the Union. Missouri Republican politicians
have been striving to iniure Missours credit and
