BALTIMORE, May 20, 1860
To Democratic State and Local Committees
Editors, and others whom il may concern:
Under its uniform policy Of encouraging
Baltimore as place for holding National
Conventions, and general meetings the Bal.
timore and Ohio Railroad Company has been
the first TO reduce the fare upon its own Road,
and to arrange also with its numerous con.
meeting lines in the West, and the North and
Southwest, for general and joint reduction,
by through round trip tickets, for the Demo
cratic National Convention to be held here on
on Monday, the 18th of June next.
Having effected arrangements therefore,
with the principal lines west of us for through
round trip tickets between all prominent
points and the City of Baltimore, and being a
Baltimore work, and the only direct line from
the greater portion of the West, we desire to
have these facts as widely known as possible,
in order to give the fullest opportunity TO en-.
| joy the route as well as to secure for our Road
the legitimate fruits of its potion and at
fractions, and Of our efforts for the public ac-
commodaton
The tickets will be good for an ample period
before and after the Convention, to allow the
holders an opportunity Of reaching Baltimore
in good season, and time to return home
upon, even should the session Of the Conyen-
ton be prolonged
For the week preceding the Convention
additional through passenger trains--making
all the connections from the Western lines
will be run from Wheeling, Benwood and Park
ersburg, tour terminal and connecting points
on the Ohio River) and every possible conve-
nience and accommodation which the exten.
siye resources Of the Company can command,
will be brought into requisiton to serve the
large numbers who are expected from the
West
The hotels Of Baltimore, and a thousand
private houses offer assurance of ample nc.
commodations TO the visitors in any numbers,
and at ordinary prices, but should these prove
inadequate, we propose to bring the extensive
hotels Of Washington City into play by run
ming extra trains, with a merely nominal fare,
between Baltimore and that place. (3S miles
distant at convenient hours before the meet
ing and after the daily adjournment of the
Convention.
To those desiring to visit Washington before
returning to the West, round-trip tickets may
be had at the Western ticket offices for but
two dollars additional, which is a reduction of
one-third from the regular fare at Baltimore.
Four regular daily trains are constantly run
between Washington and Baltimore, at conye-
nient hours
Should the Great Eastern steamship visit
New York Harbor during the period of the
Convention, as expected arrangements will
be made by this Company by which the West,
ern visitors at Baltimore can be taken to that
place and back on round-trip tickets at re-
duced fare,
