Mr.. EDITOR As you are awar,
We left Bolivar on the 18th of Jun
OH d patriotic mission to Cincinnati
We arrived at Memphis on the sam,
day, took passage on the elegant
steamer Cons Nfillar and at night left
the Bluff City behind us.
We had quite a gay crowd Of young
ladies and gentlemen on board, anC
you may rest assured that they were
soon i'll possession of the fact that your
correspondents were on an exalted ana
responsible mission so We were sOor
received and recognized as the''Harde
man Delegation"
The officers in charge of our boat
were very genial and gay, and did
everything in their power to add to
our enjoyment, and we are proud to
say they succeeded admirably.
We only had one dance while on
board the Millar; but that began
soon after We left Memphis and lasted
until we reached the end of our Jour
ney.
We took in every town, of any size.

natl, stopping at Oceola, Ark, New
Madrid, Mo, Hickman, Henderson
and Paducah KY, Cairo H., Evans
vile, and New Albany, Ind, long
enough to see the sights, get 81 cigar,
etc. And we must say Evansville is
the prettiest and liveliest town from
Memphis to Cincinnati.
We reached Cincinnati Just one day
too late for the Convention but our
alternates were there, and did as We
would have done had We been there !;
so our absence was not very detrimen-
tai to the interests of Democracy lat any
rate the nominees give entire sHtisfac-
ton. We remained in the city four
days. taking in the Geological Garden,
the Hill Tops and several other places
of curiosity and amusement, which
space will not permit us TO mention.
On the night of the 2Sth of June
thinking we had seen everything worth
seeing in Cincinnati, and finding that
our presence had created 10 percepti-
bic sensation in the city, we concluded
to run down to this place, so We took
passage on the United States, one of
finest steamers on the Ohio, and were
here for breakfast next morning.
We have met several friends who
seeiued to delight in showing us around
some IF them eveu having the cheek
to burst the champagne on us, of course
we could CINo0 refuse without disap-
pointing our friends.
We are under many obligations to
DUR estimable friends Jake Kahn and
Eugene Bond for tavors shown ms
while in the city.
We had the pleasure of attending a
meeting held at the Court
House of this place, on Tuesday night,
and were pleased to see so much inter
est manifested in favor of Hancock
and English. The boys all seemed to /
be cred hot" or least You would have
thought so, if you could have heard |
them yell when the streets were illum-
mated with Chinese lanterns and the
heavens filled with sky-rockets.
Wa will close as it is time the Andy |
Baum starts. We anticipate lots of
fun.
