After the quadrille GOV. Francis and

while his staff rested at the hotel and the
troops at headquarters. Tomorrow, after
witnessing the great civic parade, In which
Col. Ellerbe appears on the staff of Gen.
Butter6eld, the party will start for st. Louis.
To-day Gov. Francis, while waiting with
his staff for the procession to move. was
center OF attraction. From mouth to mouth |
the words, Gov. Francis OF Missouri, the |
youngest Governor in the Union" were
passed along until the whole crowd became
acquainted with the object of the remarks. |
The staff also came In for complimentary |
comments and the troops were treated TO
rounds Of applause.
The impression made by the delegation |
here is ceep and lasting, and the greatest |
interest is N lnifested in the state. People |
all over town are saying that Missouri GER
tainly produces fine men and well-drilled |
soldiers. The troops excelled their finest |
efforts at home, and marched like regulars. !
The attention paid to Missouri is very fat |
tering and well deserved.
As Gen. Noble and other prominent men |
have repeated, the appearance here of this |
delegation is worth millions to the state. |
Ii would have heen a fatal mistake to have |
omitted this representation, and Gov. |
Francis has bestowed upon the state e ben
eft that il should always remember and
appreciate.
The governor has received several pres
ents from perfect strangers who became his |
enthusiastic admirers.
The staff and troops have likewise been |
tn ated To unussl courtesics at the hands |
of New Workers, which they haye received |
with the gracefulness that is but a Miss |
ourian's second nature.
A box party at Days Theatre has been |
given in honor of Gen, James NJ. Lewis, by /
prominent New York society men.
Tomorrow afternoon the governor and |
staff will visit Ex-Prssident and Mrs Cleve-
land BY special invitation.
Gov. Francis has worked as hard as any
man In the delegation To make the affair q
success, and his fondest ambition in that
line has more than been realized. He has !
personally supervised everything, running
from point TO point aud seeing that every
thing was properly in order.
Col. John Carroll. of Unionyille, is en-
other who deserves especial praise. To
him is due the credit for bringing the
party through in safe and comfortable
condition, and, thoug Oh he has hardly slept /
for several nights, he appeared in full uni
form to-day in the procession and present.
ed handsome, soldierly appearance.
Probably no delegation in the city con-
tsined as many active and handwriting
members. Col. e. D. Comfort and Milton
Moore looked after the wants OF the boys
like fathers, and then led them through
the procession in form that gained for
them the highest compliments. For the
excellent arrangements made for the dele
CATION in New York thanks of a decided
character are due to Coils. Winslow, Jordan
and William Bull.
