enthusiastic cheers
Resotrea, That the generous, hearty
and cordial reception and ovation the
| Wisconsion and Minnesota editorial ex-
cursion party has received in the city of
| Chicago, through it's Board of Trade, is
unsurpassed in its boundless munifcence
and will excite in us more adequate and

an emporium that in wealth, industry and
commerce, promises to be the great and
| leading city of the future, in the whole
widespread fertile and fourishing region
| Of the Northwest, of which it is the cen
ter and predestined metropolis: as its
past growth has been uneXampled and
without a parallel, SO may its progress
continue, without Interruption, until 10
reaches the higher pre-eminence which
It's commanding position, unrivalled ad
vantages and irrepressible energy, are
sure to achieve for it.

OF Chicago it is hardly necessary that
we should speak because it speaks for
itself 1t isa great city, wild with enter
prise and spirit, and it goes ahead of
other towns like a locomotive passing an
OK team. 1t bids fair to be one of the
largest cities of the Union. Long may it
thrive
