How Louisville Did Not Receive
Them.
From the Louisville Commercial.
The tennessee Press Association, after
remaining one day at the Louisville Hotel,
went to Cincinnati Saturday morning by
WAY of the Short-line, and were met at
the depot by committee of gentlemen
who conducted the party to the Spencer
House. After dinner the Associa-
ton visited the Chamber of Commerc e,
where they were addressed by John A.
Gano, ESQ. There was 8 modest pro-
cession and an inspection of the hospital,
Lincoln Park, the WorKhouse, Spring
Grove and Clifton; st the latter place
they were entertained at the residence of
Hon. George L. Pendleton. A pleasant
drive through the suburbs, 8 survey of
Wien Park, and the courteous attention
vScouncilmen and citizens, concluded the
days pleasure, not emitting, however,
the visit to Hart, Rymsn 81 Bsrney's
Ministries.
Members of the Council and Board of
Aldermen assisted in the reception.
Contrast this with the reception Louis
vile gave to the men who control the
Tennessee press, and WELD an extensi We
influence. They came here, about forty
strong, unheralded. They were received
by the courteous gentlemen of the Louis
vile Hotel, and an elegant dinner pro-
yided. The editorial fraternity were in
yited TO dine with their Tennessee breth-
rem, and but one representative from each
pauer accepted the invitation. Not
citizen recognized their existence; not
councilman, not an alderman, not city
official, appeared TO say one greeting
word.
Here were s number of gentlemen from
a State in intimate communication with
Kentuckg-a Safe that trades largely
with Louisville merchants; here were
men Representing half the counties of
Tennessee. whose good will and influence
ia worth mu2h-blt the Louisville people
care for nothing; they will entertain bu-
collie Legislators and eoupcGrren of other
cities, but they are not shrewd enough to
knew that a reception of the Tennessee
Press Association would be f1rst class
advertisement, and inure to their fnaRcial
benefit.
Cincinnati sees it, and meets the Ten
n6SSeeans WIN OPeA nAuus' Iney sno"
them their city and her institutions; they
dine, wine and ride them. The Tennes-
seeans Will return home big with edraire-
ton for the hberality and enterprise OF
Cincinnati, and every one of the thirty
or forty papers represented in the trip
will advertise, indirectly, but thoroughly,
Cincinnati, her people and her CONNER
cial advantages.
Cincinnati seizes every opportunity that
presents itRelf to extend her influence,
and TO favorably impress the people Of
the South. 1t is enterprise to do so.
Louisville loses every opportunity, and
hermit, the occasion TO pass without en-
brscing il. They fail TO take advantage
of the e'tide in the affairs of men,
which leads to success.
The indifference and lsck Of energy
which characterizes the operations OF
Louisville business men are losing for
them millions of trade and thousands Of
friends. 1t is fashionable to stfect con-
tempt for the Cincinnati people, but we
can learn many lessons from these same
people, which cannot be learned too soonl
either.
