the result. No man, however, has
the right to be disappointed at
the result. As every man knows
who has read this correspondence
cor the past year and a half, I did
not support Judge Parker for the

was the solution of the problem of
getting together of the warring
factions of the Democratic party,
other men who were siilarly mind

the greatest good grace in the
world. I say to the Democrats
of the Country and to the people in
general that the Democracy of
the nation in convention assem
bled at St. Louis made no mis
take in the nomination of Judge
Alton B. Parker for the presiden

I met the Hon. "Jim" Tawney,
of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee "tinTArtsand Exposi
tions, in the national House of
Representatives, the other day,
and he is very muoh interested in
the St. Louis Exposition, I asked
bim, in the interest of my readers,
about the aocommodatioas out
there for sightseers, and he said to
me:
"One of the unique privileges
to be enjoyed by thouasnds of
World's Fair guests is that of
living, at a hotel inside the
grounds during their stay at the
Exposition. No other exposition
has afforded ,sucb a privilege.
This hotel, aptly named Tne
Inside Inn," has a capacity of
6.000 guests. Its enormous size
attracts ' great attention. It is
located on the southeastern oorner
of the grounds, close to an In
tramural railway-station, and in
easy walking distance of the
'main picture' of the Fair. The
Inside Jnn is conducted under
the supervision of the World's
Fair offioials, who fix" the prices
for accommodation rooms, meals,
etc. Thus it may be seen that
there can be no extortion whatever.
Every guest registering at the
hotel will know exactly what
price he must pay per day tor
his room or rooms and for bis
meals. The guest pays bis way
