THE Mayors WELCOME.
He then intrOdu- Cd Mayor W. l.. Cahell,
who remarked that hs was delighted TO
agsin meet the Texas Press association
member amongst ne again Is oar guests
He was not connected Win the fraternity
at All. but mBuy o! his family had that
honor. Dallas had moi had last year the
facilities oipiying the requisite attentions
10 this imp rant maternity, owing
to the sUlgerlest, but that THE
year, she intended - make amends Tor de-
o ficieucies before. He said the members
were now not only The guests OF the press
here, but Of the city and the citizens, who
would b. happy an extending any and al
possible O. urtesiea, and that he trusted
they would make Themselves feel com.
pleiely at home. Dallas had Zig enough
heert Tor all ot them. From little
village on the Trinity river, only u
few years ago, she bad lespt into pro-
pertions OF metropolitan mGeDihcence;
that census soon TO be taken would show
MP the fact that we now numbered sum
Client people to give population that
would place us second on the list OF Texas
cities. Here We had all the latest improve
ments in the way OF tights, water, paved
streets, etc, etc. Here, too, we're TO be
found wen 4 socisl worth unsurpassed,
Hnancial,ab unchallenged and for enter
prising meTit without their SUPERB
ors. Aud last, but not least,
this great Queen city could show
up more Processes OF beauty in figure and
features than any other place OF IFS size in
the world. Here literature could join with
wealth or brain or good moias and he
hoped that one Of the results Of the press
meelin. here would brig 10 ne some OF the
these newspaper men for citizenship.
THE PRESIDENTS REsPoEsE.
To this address, President W. M. Yandell
responded in most felicitous style. He said
eloquent reply, aud palmipg IL Gil
for happy extempore address,
but through the conviviality OF the morn
ing he had bsen induced 10 smoke too
many cigars, and that his intontions had
thus all turned TO ashog on the lips. Last
years reception by Dallas, ne SAID, was
ample earnest OF another royal welcome on
this occasion. He was delighted to be again
among these citizens, aud knew that the
membership wonld be- vel taken care Of
Replying TO n fsceiious remark OF
Judge Norton. he ta,d that
u the esteemed rnuh,iil Judge eonvs GSn,o
OF nuch good locking men and such an In.
tellectual body, he would doubtless be
very happy individual.
Mr.. Nat Henderson rose TO question o.!
