Chicago, Ill.-There was great ex-

other day. Hundreds of wild-eyed
brokers were shouting their bids for
corn, and it was impossible to find
sellers until the price had been bid up

magnificent and varied ever presented.

as being Worlds Fair in itself
while the view of the vast buildings,
with their various phases of domestic
and foreign architecture, is alone sutfi-

for the artistic carries him hither.
Each state with its building housing
its own displays and the interesting
products Of foreign countries are both
entertaining and instructive. 1t has

present everything in the line of repro

States that Would Elect
Parker and Davis
CRYTO INDEPENDENTS
The Democrats Can Carry the Doubt
full States by an Intelligent APP
peal to These Forces, 1t is
Shown in This
Article.

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post, writing
of the Democratic chances, sends his
paper the following;
Judge Parker's message to the ST.
Louis convention and its acceptance by
that body, followed by the nomination
of Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia
a German Democrat, for the Vice
Presidency, were events which greatly
accentuate the anticipated movement
Of the Democratic party eastward and
GoldWard. 1t has for months been
generally assumed that the recent con-
vention would nominate Il ticket far
more acceptable to the East, and less
so to the Organized States of the West,
than those of the last two campaigns.
But the convention has gone further
in this direction than was generally
expected While Parker's nomination
was not unexpected, the dramatic way
in which his adherence to the gold
standard interests of his party was
emphasized, has made him pre-emin-
emily a favorite of the Democrats of
the East. Davis nomination is in the
same direction, although less so than
would have been the selection OF q
man identified with the Palmer and
Buckner movement like JudsOn Har-
mon, of Ohio. The convention insist
ed on making regularity III 1896 re-
uuisite for either place on the ticket,
but having satisfied that requirement
it went a long way towards meeting
the wishes of the East and its conser-
vative element.
1T is generally conceded here that
Parker and Davis will carry Mary
land and West Virginia, States which
in the last two Presidential campaigns
have been found in the Republican
column. The Democratic ticket would
have stood a good chance of success
in these States, particularly in Mary
land, without the Davis nomination,
but with it, and in view of the fac
tional fight among the West Virginia
Republicans, and the growing of the
Democratic strength in Maryland
they will both be likely to land in the
Democratic column. This is the re-
spect in which the action of the con-
vention has most specifically affected
estimates of the result. Before the
convention these two States were
