Editorial Communication.

81. IIOOIo, 4uO.s L GU 10, iO0t.
The delegates to the National Edi
toriaI Association, which meets in
Galveston on Tuesday of next week,
and to which was elected a member
by the Republican Editorial Associa-
ton of Maryland, are here at the
Terminal hotel in great numbers.
Delegates use this as a place of rem
dezvoux. The hotel is in Union sta
ton, in which about twenty-five, diff
ferent railroads enter the city and dis
charge thousands of passengers daily.
Delegates are here from every State
in the Union, except possibly the eX-
IRENE Southern States bordering on
the Gulf.
The run over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad from Oakland to st.
Louis made without any incident Of
special note. Along the Ohio Valley,
however, evidences of high waters
were to be seen on every hand. In
this mornings paper was a startling
account of the ravages of high water
in the vicinity of Evansville, Ind,
where it is feared the Ohio will change
its course and leave that city away to
the South of the rivers present
channel.
Last night the train | came on
stopped in Cincinnati about three
hours. took the opportunity offered
by this stop-over to hunt up two or
| three'of the Oakland boys. | went to
police headquarters and there found
Cal. Grim. He is away up in the de
partment now Everyone in the city
seems to know him, and for his eff
cient services recently rendered in the
celebrated Pearl Bryan murder case
his salary was handsomely increased
Charley Mason is also in Cincinnati,
but | did not get to see him.
This morning | went up in the bus
mess section of st. Louis and found
Max Good, another young man raised
in Oakland The older citizens of the
town will remember him as being q
small boy. He is now what you may
call healthy looking man of medium
build and full of business. He is as
ISOLATED here with a gentleman in the
wholesale coffee business and seems
to be very prosperous.
Just before the Republican NOmi
mating convention was held in this
city last summer it will be remem
bered a great wind storm swept over
this section of country. Evidences Of
the storms fury can yet be seen. Out
on one of the avenues, Mississippi,
think there is yet standing dismantle(
houses wrecked by the storm. Ii
other sections, however, a person
could never tell storm had visited
here. The streets are all covered will
thick coating of mud, which extends
also TO tho yemants- eEus- matiIis
walking very dlsagreeable at bit
This evening at 8 o'clock we leav,
for Galveston, arriving there in time
for dinner on Monday. En- route from
here we will stop at Mouett, No, fol
breakfast; Fort Smith, Ark, dinner
Paris, Tex, supper; breakfast on Mon
day at Rosenberg, Tex. In the car tC
which | have been assigned | find J
S. Brown, of the Kingwood Argus
accompanied by his sister, and the
balance of the West Virginia anC
Maryland delegation. Brown is full
not of liquor-of yarns and fish stories
He has a knack of telling the right
thing at the right time and keeping
everyone in good humor.
This being my first trip with the
Association | am not as yet very well
acquainted with the delegates, but
they are all sociable and friendly.
When arrive in Galveston | will
write again.
