The Hillsdale Standard

Henry Watterson, having discharged his 100,000 armed Democrats, has made up his mind to go quite as far in the other direction. We find this paragraph in the Courier Journal:

The announcement that the president of the United States has accepted the invitation of the managers of the industrial exposition, and will visit Louisville on the 17th of September, was received yesterday with universal expressions of gratification, and will doubtless be read with pleasure by the public at large. It is the purpose of the citizens who have the matter in hand to ask the governors of all the states to meet the president, and there is every reason to look for a favorable response from most of them. The president will come, not as a politician, but as chief magistrate of the whole people, and, irrespective of party, he will be regarded as the guest of Kentucky. He will find on this side of the Ohio, and among those who most earnestly opposed his election, a hospitality as warm as it will be sincere. The occasion is propitious. Our annual expositions have always been conspicuous as displays of our best products and workmanship. To this display we shall hope to add, through the presence of such a number of representative Americans, a patriotic feature befitting the era of reconciliation in the border metropolis of the Union.
