St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-06-18
At Sioua Falls.

The days travel concluded at this place at
5:55. A committee of citizens with band
and carriages. was in waiting, and the whole
party was driven to the Cataract house where
the dust of the journey was abluted and an
excellent supper served. The day has been
d continual satisfaction not only
to the excursionists but to
the people along the route To Mr. A. S.
Tallmadge, of Berkly, Tallmadge & Co., is
due the origin of the excursion which is
surely doing very beneficial things for st.
Paul. His suggestion was ably promoted by
President Finch and Secretary Hoppin, and
approved by the Jobbers Union generally.
To the officers of the Omaha rail
way the thanks of all connected
with the matter, as member or guests are
cordially returned, and every facility has
been placed at the command of the party in
such a manner that not the slightest friction
has occurred.
Several of the officers of the company had
contemplated being of the party, but duties
in other directions prevented Mr. f. B.
Clarke, who left st. Paul with the excursion,
was called back to the city by important bus
ineSs.
President Hughitt, of the Omaha; II. C.
Wicker, general traffic manager, and M. W.
S. Mullen, general freight manager of the
Northwestern company, who had intended to
be OF the party, were detained as is also
j. H. Hiland, general freight
agent of the Omaha Railway
who was called to Washbnrn, Lake Superior,
with an excursion party. Gov. Hubbard,
Messrs. Gotzian, Beaupre and Bickel were
also detained, as was Mr.. Murland, of the
New York Tribune There instances of dis
appointment and the gentlemen named
were greatly missed, but nevertheless the
exclusive is a great success, particularly as
it was organized upon the spur of the mo-
ment.
The omission of band was greatly felt
to-day, and the views that the Great Western
would join the party here in the morning
with quite an excursion of St, Paul people was
a solid qualification.
Among the guests to-day was the artist
Thorn whose delight at the seen
cry viewed was greatly enjoyed
by his friends. During the forenoon Secre-
tary Hoppin received telegram from Aber-
deem, asking the party to stop there an hour
on the return trip, which will be done.
A PUBLIC WELCOME.
After supper the st. Paul party were driven
about this beautiful city for a couple of
hours and at 9 o'clock met at the Opera
house for public welcome. The meeting
was called to order by Mayor Schaetzel, Jr.,
who on behalf Of the merchants and citi-
zens announced the deep sentiments of re-
spect entertained for their guests and in the
name Of the city bade them all hearty vel
come.
Hon. A. scheffer, of St. Paul, responded
Mr.. Scheffer said he was sorry so say that
the expedition into this region from st. Paul
had left their orators at home. 1t had been
hoped that Hon. C. K. Davis, who recently
covered himself with glory before national
audience, could be present to give sample
of his oratorY, and of others nearly the same
could be said. The only apology he had to
offer was the idea of the presidentof the St.
Paul Jobbers' union, that the speaker was
least likely to be hissed off the stage Leay-
ing st. Paul this E1orning and passing
through a region most fifty characterized by
the editor of the St.Paul GLOBE, as ssthe Land
of Plenty" and by Col. Drake, a citizen
of whom we are proud as ssthe blue grass re-
gion of the northwest, 'and indeed it seemed
to all of US to be a land flowing with milk and
honey,we could not but be impressed with the
superabundant evidence of growth prosper
ity, happiness and great growing demand
for an enlarged field Col. Drake and Others
wish to enlarge their horizon and in this
view chiefly we are here with you tonight.
It can hardly be printed to tell YOU how much
we are pleased with our reception here, but
you cannot look into the eyes of the mem.
