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.
