The ten months OF the year 1854 have
witnessed remarkable advancements In ev-
cry line OF industry-an advancement

presence OF great international eXposi-
ton. Is chiefly OF that substantial quality
that Is TO be desired by all settled com
munit!es and is an assurance against
temporary commercial collapse such as
have followed in the wake OF other similar
institutions elsewhere.
That great and lasting benefits have
been and are to be derived by St. LouIs's
commercial interests from the Worlds
Fair cannot be denied. The direct bene-
tits already accruiny are considerable and
there Is scarcely aH industry in the city
that has not participated in those benefits
OF the more than l1oIJ.0o0 admissions
recorded and reported by the Worlds Fair
management, considering that majority
OF the people OF st. Louis have passed
through the Worlds Fair gates at least
once. many OF them fifty or more times,
and those from abroad have in most cases
visited the Fair more than once. 1t Is es-
t!mated that at least s.oG0.0gJ actual in
dividual persons have been the guests OF

just passed who came solely because of

visitors have come from comparatively

Groton, Mass, Aug. George 8.
Boutwell,, one Of the founders OF the
Republican party, Secretary of the
Treasury under President Grant,
Governor, United States Senator
and Representative in Congress from
his State, is for Judge Parker for
President. He gave these reasons
yesterday for his preference:
II am with the Democratic party
because l have made a distinct de-
cision In regard 10 the Philippine
policy, and whatever may happen In
regard to domestic affairs, nothing
can be 30 unfortunate as this trans.
formation from a republic to an

ty may do, but am satisfied that
they will not sacrifice the honor Of
the nation by leaving great oppor-

A political contest is in more than
terms "a race Like the horse that
first "gets away" the leading candidate
must hold and iporease his lead to
win. If the lead lts cat, shere is an in

The exception to this rule occurred

Overman and Watson.
So that in the undoubted Glenn lead
turks the greatest Glenn weakness.
It is from the nature of the case an
inevitable weakness-one that is based
on the instinct of self preservation
on the part of the rival candidates,
and one that will give the latter an ad-
ditional determination in and produce
in the opposition q dense solidity. That
the Glenn forces recognize and are
acting on this principle is plain to
a man who in the early stages of this
historic contest is attempting to get at
the causes of antagonistic hopes and
fears and to make the universal
guess" as to an obscure result which
is the common vanity of opinion.
It will be noted that the Glenn
claims, in figures, are 573 votes on the
first ballot. That is SO votes short of
nomination. Granting, for the sake
of demonstration, that this estimate
Of instructed delegates is correct, there
remain roughly stated 65 delegates
who are uninstructed. SO that before
a nomination could come to Glenn,
he must either have won our delegates

of the other candidates or
he must procure all but thirteen

of either candidate. The situation is

the throngs of political pilgrims have
been greatly augmented since last

he smiles and says, "we are greatly

At the Glenn headquarters there is
the same confident note of q nominal
tion on the second or third ballot. The
claims of the Glenn men have not been
tabulated with definite form any more
than those of the other candidates,
but these claims are more definite than
the others.

one of Capt. Glenn's managers, "and

The situation as it appears from an
impartial view is this
Barring the development Of a Glenn
stampede on the first or second bal
lot-which all parties admit to be a
possiblity-the contest will inevitably
be greatly prolonged. In that case it
will be of vital Importance to the
Glenn forces to see that their candi-
dates vote remains as large as at the
beginning or is increased. This is a
settled rule of politics. that the lead
