II such as il is" He had heard papers they
published characterized unworthy and rid
iculed, so that an editor ought to be
ashamed. but he claimed il was work they
should all be proud of. 1t was a profess
sion because it requires brains even for a
country paper. while il furnished ample
scope for the man best endowed with
knowledge. He then related at length a
trip TO the old country. and recited instances
showing the lack of enterprise possessed in
the work there, compared with this coun-
try. He concluded with brief review of
the experiences ola country editor.
THE DAILY PRESS.
The Daily Press of Minnesota, May 1t
Ever be Able to Lead in the March of
Progress
Capt. He Bastle, when called upon to
respond, was warmly applauded, and de-
hvered a flattering address 10 the enlight-
ened banqueters. lie started off with say
ing that it was the intention to have
Mr. WheelOck respond to this, but
that gentleman had gone away.
As he and Mr.. WheelOck
had always agreed so tremendously,
he supposed for that reason he had been
selected TO ill the vacancy. He then went
on to remark that he had been connected
with daily paper for years, but received
no attention, but within two weeks after
taking hold of weekly paper he received
an Office in the association. If it were true,
as was generally supposed, that they had
come together to say that they were lead
ing the van of civilization he did not think
they had much TO brag of. 1t was said the
world had advanced. but his views on this
subject were peSSimiStic and he doubted it.
In matters of religion, art, law, or military
matters (when a compound of fuss and
feathers would not turn out to honor
dead heroes he believed the world in many
respects had advanced backwards. If the
daily press was accredited with this it had
not much to boast of. He believed in all
professions the brass band took the lead, but
when itcame to battle it took the rear.
SO it was with the daily press. If it
marched to the front in good times, when
trouble came it was generally in the rear,
allowing the country press TO lead. APP
plauSe. Such ut leaStwas his opinion, and
he presumed if AIr. Wheelock were present
he would also agree with him. Applause.
THE TWO CITIES.
The next toast was The City Of st. Paul.
1t welcomes the editorial fraternity of the
state on its nineteenth annual meeting in
this elegant hotel. the cOnsummate flower
OF 81. Paul enterprise; responded To by L.
VI. Newson.
Mr.. NewSOn in rising raised the orthodox
objection and then proceeded with yigOr-
GUS and lengthy address. lie said it was
the editOrS who had made 81. Paul what
1t was to-day; il was the papers
which had sounded forth the praises
of this country and attracted the thousands
OF persons from the East. In 1858 he took
the census of the city, which was only
1,2O0. Then there was the one little gro
Gerry store-loOk at it to-day. Then there
were no raiirOads-lOok at them to-day.
The growth of the city was entirely due to
the enterprise of its newspapers.
Plat b. Walker responded to the toast
The City OF Minneapolis. the other city
OF which Minnesota is justly proud. He
said Minneapolis was the faireSt city he
had ever seen andneXt 10 il came ST. Paul.
lie believed their children would rise up
and in few years see the greatest city on
the continent right here.
THE LADIES.
''The ladies, the responsible branch of
all editorial hOuSeholdS-the sharer of
the editors joys and sorrows. God
bless them, we are glad to have
them with us here tonight" was
then briefly responded TO by ii. f. HOar.
He said he felt as much of the sentiment
expressed in the toast as any one. He
claimed that part of the eulogiums they re-
ceiyed were due 10 the ladies.
The last toast proposed was Our Enter
tanners.
Mr.. Fred DriScOll replied in short to the
toast and the banquet closed.
