FRANK WIGGINS,
Commissioners.
San Francisco, through her repre-
sentatives, George P. Wilcomb and J.
w. Erwin, took an active part in the
opening of the Model City at the ex-
position. Governor Pardee spoke for
San Francisco and the State of which
it is the metropolis at this event and
on behalf of the State and municipal
! ity turned the building over to the ex-
position. The Governor spoke just be-
! fore President Francis and said that
though it was long distance between
! st. Louis and San Francisco it was not
long distance between the friendly
sentiments of their people. He spoke
Of the greatness of San Francisco's s
! commerce and her tremendous pro-
gress and said she and the State of
California were loyal in every breath
| to the nation and to the exposition
which represented it. His speech was
one of the best delivered by any
State executive and drew loud ap-
plause.
RECEPTION is HELD.
After the services of dedication,
which were held on the. steps of the
Guild Hall in the Model City, a very
successful reception was held at the
San Francisco building. Refreshments
were served and Messrs. Wilcomb and

bright San Francisco ladies to assist
them in receiving the many guests

HANNA'S SHOES.

Great honor was paid to Mr.. W. j.
Crawford. of Cleveland, when he was
chosen as the chairman OF the commit
tee ON finance by the Cuyahoga county
Republicans. This was the place held
by Marcus A Hanna before his death,
raising funds for the prosecution of
the fan campaign as the lamsnted Sem
stor Hanna did so many years before
him Some ungrateful ones have &C
cused Mr.. Crawford OF trying TO sue
ceed Senator Hanna as leader of the
party In Cuyahoga county, but this he
indignantly denies, saying, There il
no man who can ever aspire to fill Mr..
Hanna's shoes He was a man among
men and it win be q long time before.
IL We ever do, have q ma1 who can
take his place. There has come a
great change in Ohio since the death
Of Mckinley and Hanna and we will
be long in recovering from the blow.
A writer from Washington says in a
recent newspaper letter: 1T is really
pathetic the way Ohio has dropped out
Of the game of national politics since
the death Of Mckinley and Hanna.
You never hear q word about the stats
these days. Nobody thinks of ths
proud mother of presidents any oftenel
than Virginia comes to the minds ol
