In a conversation with THE CITIZEN,
Z. p. Mckissick, manager of the Battery
Park hotel, who returned Friday from
CINCINNATI said that his trip was very
pleasant and that none of the delegates
from Ashevile to the editorial meeting
are disheartened because Ashcville failed
to get the association, for the reason
that a good fight was made and Ashc-
vile has been well advertised by the trip.
Il am glad to see," said Mr.. Mckis-
sick, that TIE CITIZEN compliments Mr..
London in his excellent work for Aslle-
VILE He ought to be awarded a medal
tor the way he spoke for Asheyillc
Both he and | made speeches before
the committee and his speech was
traught with kind things about Ashc-
vile. His was the best speech made
before the committee. Ashevllle got the
next highest vote IN the committee meet
ing. California had a corner on the
thing, and secured the convention bv
not only offering free transportation to
and from California, but also free board
during the entire trip aud stay in Cali
tornia. Furthermore they, | mean the
Los Angeles people, offered to battle the
editors in wine If they came. Besides
this, California offered a free trip to the
Sandwich Islands and to Chill II neces-
Ssary.
