HKORHU JSMTOKS IN 1ULTIJIOBE
BaI.TIMOHK, Md„ July 2'Jili, 188L
EoitoiiKkcordkii:—I» Americn* Je»cl,
or nre it. Editors only asleep ? Probably
yon think the qne.l ion a alrantta one, and
yet 'll. not an strange after all, when you
taka Into consideration the fact that,
while Montezuma, Dawson, Cnthbert,
Albany and Tbomasville, all of them
places of leas importance- commercially,
and none of them of equal rank rennmeri-
rally, had their representatives here ijur-
iog tho last two days, when the fleorgia
Press visited onr city, either of the
Atnotleus papers lacke 11 nterpiise, or—or
—well I know not what—to tend oven n
reporter, to soy nothing of an oditor.
II ting an old Americas man, it was morti
fying to pie when parlies wonld ask me:
• (Well, Jo, where is your heme crowd?"
and have to (ell them that neither of tho
papers had o representative here, lint,
gentlemen, you were the losers, for these
who did come certainly had a pleasant
time while here and, I doubt not, during
the entire trip. Aren't you sorry you
didn't come ? Yon wonld be if yon knew
how cordially all Southerners aro treati d
by Ifliltimoreans. Tho only trouble wns
they didn't stay long enough to ftnd out
what our city is ond how very hospitable
its people nre. It is to bo hoped, though,
that the sample they had will make Oliver
Twists of the whole party and that they,
like he, will be ever anil anim calling for
"more.”
Arriving here on Friday afternoon,
they were met by a delegation of the
Baltimore Press ond escorted to the
t'arrolton Hotel, where Msj. Coleman
took them in charge and entertained
them right royally. Nothing in the
house wns too good for them and in at
tention locked they nothing. After get
ting rid of the dust of trnvel, ond quieting
the cravings of the inner man, tho fra
ternity started out sight seelog-some
alone, some in groups togother and sorno
with Wends they had in the city before
coming or chanced to make after their ar
rival. ' Where they all went or what they
saw can probably bo better imagined
tlinn inscribed. Huwovcr, they all turned
up ill good order, every one being "light
side up." and by the way, they kept that
up during the whole vi«it.
On .Saturday morning, by invitation of
the Mayor, the party veiled tho City Hall
tmd went all through ilH cllfferout de
partment!!. Your correspondent had tho
pleasure of conducting tho party to tho
Mayor's oftlco and accompanying thorn
through tho building and also on the trip
down tho Bay.
The Merchants and Manufacturer’s As
sociation and the Chemical Fertilizers
Kxuhnngo tendered* them an excursion
down the Uiver and Buy, and at a few
minutes after twolvo tho steamer West
moreland "cast loose” with tho editors
aud their wives and daughters and a
goodly crowd of Baltimore merchants,
manufacturers, lawyers, etc., fdr a sail
down the Bay. Everything was propi
tious. The sun, which for several days
had been almost within roach, shut
himself in behind tho clouds and the
presiding genius of tho weather depart
ment ordered a nioo breeze, so that every
thing was Jas pleasant ns heart could wish.
* Tin much easier for people to become ac
quainted on board a boat than in a large
city, and our people and yours took ad
vantage of the opportunity. During the
trip au elegunt lunch was served, oom-
prising all a hungry umn could desire aud
more beside. It was fun to hpo how
some of those inland editors enjoyed onr
Chesapeake crabs and lobsters. Editor
Mmuford distinguished himself iu that
liue, as did several others, Of course
there Were tho usual post prandial
speeches. His botioi tho'Mayor opened
the bull with n nice neat speech of web
eouie, and was followed by the president
of the M. and M. association nnd uls»a
short spio.$ speech by one of the Fer
tilizer Exchango. There were also sever
al speeches from the Georgians. Col.
Estill made au exoellent speech, one full
of good Konnd wisdom aud teeming with
strong common sense. Tht speeches of
I he occasion, though, were made by Dr.
Heidt and Dr. Hopkina. Neither of them
ever make a poor speech or preach a
worry sermon, out on that occasion they
fuirly outdono themselves. Dr. Heidt
started by saying he was "almost inapt r-
ed with a speech.” Had he boou fully
inspired, he wonld have been as eloquent
as Paul on Mars Hill, ulthongh on a dif
ferent line. Dr. Hopkins had tho close
nnd. although, as he said,'the ground had
been fully i>ccnpied, he made a very elo
quent, pointed and telling speech, the
best, so the people here think, of any
one who spoke. On the return trip the
l*oat was stopped at one of the grain ele
vators and the entire party went ashore
to see the workings thereof. The fore-
iuau very politely showed them through
and endeavored to explain to them
hew the grain won received aud how the
ships were loaded. How many got a \
dear conception ol its practical working !
1 alu unable to say, being fur more inter- -
ested at the time in a pair of bright eyes
belonging to one of the Georgia girls than
in the loading nnd unloading of wheat.
Suffice it to Ssy Baltimore’s facilities for
handling grain are unsurpassed by those
of any city in the country.
On retaining the party took tho earliest
car for Washington, where they spent
Sunday—that is the majority of them did.
A few remained over here, among them
Dr. Hopkius, who preached at Mt. Ver
non church in the morning, giving the
congregation as good a sermon as he did
the crowd on the boat a speech.
On Monday the party came back and
took the train for home, leaving behind
many pleasant recollections of their visit
to the Monumental city, and having made
many friends during their brief stay.
That their visit will be productive of
good to both sections I haven't a doubt,
that it was a source of much pleasure
both to them and to us is beyond a Muta
tion.
To the writer it was veiy especially
pleasant, for, aside from the fact that he
has never forgotton his native state nnd
•UU takes a deep interest in all that con
duces to her advantase, be met a good
many personal friends in the party, to
meet whom was a pleasure and to talk
with them a treat
Next time let Americas be represented.
