Platt, Hiscock and Company Robbed New York Fair
The article argues that New York's loss of the World’s Fair was caused by Platt, Hiscock, Fassett, and Republican opposition. It recounts how a nonpartisan citizens committee was manipulated to block support, leading to a defeat that Depew predicted would anger farmers and workers. It contrasts labor gains with tariff rhetoric and cites Stokes, Fassett, and political maneuvering in Albany and Washington.
