Nppncer of Areola—Urami Banquet.
The long talked of excursion over the Paris & Decatur R. R., from Areola and intermediate points (o this city in honor of the completion of that line, was successfully consummated to-day.
His Honor Mayor Thomas, and C'ouncilmen Hager, Whitiker and Coats, .special committee of reception, boarded the regular 10:20 train, bound west over the I. & St. L. Railroad to-day, and met the excursionists at Sanford, the dividing line between the two yreat and powerful sister States of Indiana and Illinois. There the committee greeted the Illinois guests, and escorted them to the I. & St. L. depot, in this city, where were a vast number of buggies, carriages, 'busses and barouches, iuto which the ladies and gentlemen conducting the visiting party were consigned, and the line of march to Dowling Hall was taken up in the following order and along the following route Marshall Crawford and first assistant Meacham Police in full uniform Toute's Band, discoursing soulinspiring music Breinig's German Band, music fn reserve Areola Band in Gist's band wagon Fire Department, In full uniform and equipment, Chief Van Brunt, commanding President' and other officers of the Paris & Decatur Railroad, and connecting lines Mayor and City Council in close carriages ladies of theexcursion party in carriages Gist's full 'bus line, loaded to overflowing with ladies and gentlemen citizens of Terre Haute and eslewhere, in carriages.
This imposing procession marched down Sixth street to Mulberry, up Mulberry to Seventh, down Seventh to Main, west on Main (by mistake) to Sixth, south on Sixth to Ohio, west on Ohio to Fourth, north on Fourth to Main, east on Main to Sixth, north on Sixth to Dowling Hall, where the police formed a line and admitted none but invited guests, who marched up to the beautiful hall, aud for a few moments feasted their eyes on the graud banquet prepared for them by Holfelder, under the auspices of the Committee on Commissaries.
While the excursionists are loungiugly lingering by the festal board, we will tell our readers what a handsome appearance Maiu street presented, being beautifully decorated. The grand Opera House, and all the business houses of note, were artistically decorated with flags, streamers and other "buutiug" representing the National colors, which we would note in detail, did we have the time aud space. Both pressing us, we return to the hall, which was packed full to overflowing, all longing, no doubt, to commence an indiscriminate attack on the luscious irands spread out before them in the most lavish manner, the tables being formed in a hollow square with one in the center all artistically and tastefully dvcorated with choice plants and flowers of rare fragrance.
On the stage we noticed the following officers of the P. & D. R. R., and their guests: Hitchcock, President W. T. Sylvester, Vice President R. G. Hervey, Managing Director Jacob Willis, Treasurer
IJ.
McAlister, Secretary Chilion
Jones, General Passenger Agent B. F. Mathias, General Freight Agent J. B. Phinuey, Chief Engineer C. G. Mac, Assistant Superintendent I. &St. L. R. R. William Bell, Master Mechanic of the Illinois Central R. R.
All the above named gentlemen were accompauied by ladies but one. His Honor Mayor Thomas said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: You will please come to order just as soon as you can, for a few moments. There is a very large crowd and the service will be short. It will uot be necessary for me to make any extended remarks on this occasion I therefore introduce tb you one of our oldest and best citizens, who will deliver to you a short address of welcome on this eventftil occasion. I will now introduce to you Mr. LucyusRiyce, of Terre Hants. Applause]
REMARKS OF MR. RYCE.
La'Hex and Gentlemen of the Excursion Party The duty assigned me to tender to you this welcome to-day, would be very pleasant were I able to discharge the duty devolving upon me. As I am not, I appear before you with the greatest reluctance. The papers have made me say that I requested to be excused, aud then withdrew the request and promised to do my best. That is a slight mistake. I knew nothing of the appointment until I saw it in the paper, I then went to the committee and urged them to excuse me, and assign the duty to another person I named to them and who I knew could more faithfully and efficiently discharge that duty. They however voted me down. We are all liable to get cornered, as I wa«,in which case it is an evidence of manliness to make the bestof the situation and go through with it. [Mayor Thoma3 here requested the audience to preserve order.]
Xow ladies and gentlemen, in the name of the Committee of Arrangements, and in behalf of all our citizens, I tender you on this occasion, a hearty welcome. Your object, I suppose, in making this visit, is in part to get a glance of our beautiful city, and form some acquaintance with our people aud for the purpose of a general interchange of business aud social amenities. It is gratifying to us to entirely reciprocate it. [Applause.]
Trade and commerce are the mainsprings of enterprise and activity throughout the world. When rightly conducted on principles of integrity, the result is truly graud and ennobling, tending to intellectual advancement, social refinement, commendable benevolence and humane charities. I conceive that no one can possess these principles and ever be sordid or mean.
Twenty-eight years ago, about this time, I came to Terre Haute, then an embryo city sitting like a young Queen on the banks of the beautiful Wabash, waiting for the coming of the Wabash & Erie Canal, which was then the hope of this region of the country.
Soon afterwards I was in New York and stepped into a merchant tailoring establishment to get measured for a suit of clothes. The proprietor spread himself around and measured me and cried out, "Forty-two inches! Where are you from?" "From the Wabash,"- said I. "I have five customers on my books from your country whose growth is fully equal to yours, and one of them resides in Terre Haute." "Who is it I asked. "Thomas Dowling." [Great applause.] "Do you know the man?" "I do, sir," said I "he is a noble fellow, and his heart is as big as his body. [Laughter.] He says that must be a great country, and I think it will be well for us to know more about it. It is a good country," says I. "It is a good country morally, physically and intellectually. YVe are a great people, I am myself below the average of physical men of the mental and moral modesty forbid me to say. W« now have railroads to New York, to St. Louis and connection everywhere, Chicago has reached out her arms this way, Cincinnati begins to feel the necessity of direct communication with Terre Haute and a road is being put through to that great city. The Southwestern people wish direct communication with Terre Haute, and a Southwestern road is beiug surveyed, away to the Southwest. All this goes to show that Terre Haute is be^ining to be a great place, of power and influence. We are indeed a lively people. We are indeed awake—wide awake—and if you could remain longer, it would pay you to visit some of our institutions. I think you would find it very pleasant and very profitable. We have vast resources of wealth and riches all around about us.
We have bored down into the bowels of the earth and received olleagiuous treasures as our reward. On every hand are to be seen evidences of the prosperity of our people:
Here are our blast furnaces our nail works our glass works, and our wholesale groceries, our dry goods, aud notion establishments, boot aud shoe stores they are all open for your inspection and we wish that you had time to come once and see what there is of Terre Haute, and visit our retail establishments.
We have demonstrated in this line one problem certainly never solved by any other people in that line of business that retail dealers can sell goods cheaper than they pay for them and yet amose collosal fortunes. [Laughter.]
Now, this is really wonderful, and no mistake. This has been doue here, unless there has been some tremendous slandering. How nice it is to know how this is done. If you had time to go through our establishments, you would know how it is done. It is worth something to know, I assure you, and I think when you get home you will be induced to come over often aud visit us, and find out how it is done. Take home this information it will eurich all your country.
I am glad to meet you on this occasion, and our people are very glad to meet you, aud we all wish you to make yourselves entirely at home, aud feel yourselves at home. We are all of one mind, one heart, one purpose. Let us have a free interchange, of expression of opinions, and have a pleasant and profitable time.
But, I am limited to a very few minutes, and it is gratifying to me that I am, I dou't want to detain you from a b«tter entertainment. [Laughter.] Now, again 1 bid you welcome make yourselves at home. "We have a great many filings to which I have not had time to refer.
Seeing Mr. Tuttle here before me reminds me that I have failed to speak of the great association for the advance meat of science, many members of which we have among us. All great scientific themes are assigued to them for solution. Mr. Tuttle, one of the number, however, devotes his entire time to the Chinese literature. [Great applause and laughter.]
With these few rematk" I will leave you iu the hands of the ladies who will wait upon and serve von with the refreshments.
Mayor Thomas then stepped forward and introduced President Hitchcock, of the Paris & Decatur Railroad, who was greeted with applause aud responded as follows:
REMARKS OF MR. 11ICKCOCK.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies aud Gentlemen: I presume it is expected that the President of a Railroad should be able to make a fine speech, and I rather think I shall resigu my Presidential office, when I feel how unable I am to make a reply at all adequate to the magnificent reception, and the cordial address of .welcome which we have had from the citizens of Terre Haute. I have heard that members of Congress from the rural districts, have their speeches nicely fixed up to appear iu the CRobe^ I .hope the gentlemen of the press will fix up something nice for me to have said. [Laughter.]
I must ask you to recollect that Areola is a very young oity and that the Paris & Decatur is a very young railroad, and to believe that though our words are plain and unp61feh'4d, our hearta are "big, and are to-day full of £r»tUudefbr your
nificent reception, and still more for your kind words. I hope that the bond which we have to-day formed will be a permanent one, and that when we next meet in public you may find tbat we have profited by association with the refined and cultivated people we have to-day come among.
In conclusion, I cordially invite the citizens of Terre Haute, the future Pittsburgh of the West, to return with us to our ambitious little city, to partake of our hospitality, and to assist us in celebrating the event of which we are so proud. [Applause.]
I will now introduce to you the only lawyer we have in our section of the country, and all that he has to do is to write leases and make deeds. [Great applause.]
Mr. Spencer was received with applause and spoke at some length, which lack of time and space will not admit of our publishing it this afternoon, it being too near press time to have it set up.
At its close the guests were invited to partake of the sumptuous collation before them, which they did with a relish. Judging from the loud huzzas which greeted us from our sanctum some distance from the bauquet hall, the guests returned hearty thanks for their reception at the hands of the citizens of Terre Haute.
The excursionists—about five hundred in number—two hundred being ladies— then repaired to the depot, in the conveyances in which they come, and embarked for their prairie home, Areola, seventy-five miles distant, where they will celebrate their communication with Terre Haute, by an imposing pyrotecnic display, to which many of the citizens of Terre Haute were invited.
From what we saw of the rolling stock of the new road, we should judge it all to be a model of elegance, efficiency and beauty. The engines "Oakland" and "Areola" are new, very handsome aud "trim" locomotives, and were in charge of experienced and skillful engineers.
The excursion train consisted of seven coaches and two baggage cars, two coaches and the two baggage cars belonging to the P. & D., and the others from the I. St. L. R. R., all new and elegant.

NEW YORK, April 30.—The Tribune to-day, says of the array of trouble at Cinciuuati from the machiuations of the nomiua'ting rings, it considers the grand object of the Convention is not to be allowed by combinations of worn out hacks to secure the nomination of some candidate for President who may suit their particular views aud wants. We ask for no particular man, but for choice of one whose name shall symbolize national movement for reform, and if the Cincinnati Convention accomplishes this it is a success, whereas, if it gives a mere candidate for politicians it is a failure.
The Times thiuks the older politicians who are going to Cincinnati have not the slightest sympathy with the purposes of a hand full of well meaning philosophers who intend going into the movement, and expresses its confident belief that the latter will return from Cincinnati with the powerful conviction that their names have let a certain respectability and they never had the least chance of directing.
The World editorially depreciates the sudden outbreak of indignation which found an expression when a few days ago it mentioned preferences to Mr. Adams for President, if the Democratic party should go outside of its own ranks for a candidate. It also, at the same time, reiterates itsopinion that the nomination of Mr. Adams would be cordially accepted and endorsed by. the Democratic party, nnd does not entertain the slightest doubt that the delegation at the convention would endorse him.

The tannery owned by Peter EgeuritI, on Spring street, this city, was burned to the ground Monday morning. Loss, $10,000 fully insured.
CHICAGO, April 30.—The Tribune, the Trumbull organ, says: The efforts which have been made to packthcillinois delegation at Cincinnati, with supporters of Judge David Davis, by shipping train loads of dead head excursionists from one or two country towns at the expense of the candidate, are certainly not consistent with the principles which form the rallying cry of the earnest participants in reform, and leaving aside the means asserted to for procuring such a nomination, it must be confessed that a reform movement which should commence by taking a political Judge of the Supreme bench to head it, would be disastrous and a forshadowed failure. If anything were wanting to stamp it with popular disapprobation and insure its death, it would be furnished by evidence showing that it was a put up job.
Per contra, the Times denounces the Tribune as a disorganizer, and sa\*s that its editor wants a foreign mission, and is governed by no principle. Itsays further that the situation at Cincinnati, as developed in the dispatches published this morning, does not in any way diminish the feeling that Judge Davis will be the nominee of the Convention for President. The efforts of the Tammany organ at New York to make it appear that Mr. Adams is the choice of the Democratic party, have moved most of the really influential and honest Democratic papers in the country to repudiate these statements and express their conviction that Mr. Adams is not, and that Mr. Davis is the choice of the great majority of the Democrats.
CINCINNATI, April 30.—It is estimated that there are 10,000 or 15,000 strangers in the city. Nearly all the delegations are holding caucusses this afternoon. The Pennsylvania delegation will appoint delegates to-day they favor Carter for the first place and state that he will not accept thesecoud place on any terms. Several hundred Davis men arrived this forenoon, and it is reported that if Davis is not nominated they will draw him out of the convention and run him as a straight Democratic candidate. Both Davis and Trumbull are very strong today. Brown seems rather quiet.
A heavy fight is in progress among the Illinois delegates. The Palmer and Trumbull men are willing to divide equally between the three candidates,but this the Davis men will uot do. 'Dispatches report 710 delegates on the road from Mississippi all for Greeley.
A .hard fight Js reported between the Greeley and Adams men. Prominent men from nearly every delegation think that Adams will certainly withdraw after the first ballot.
Kansas took a vote resulting, Trumbull, 22 Adams, 6 Brown, 5: Davis, 4 Greeley 2. Palmer is very little talked of to-day and will be presented accept as a compromise candidate. Sumner's name was sprung to-day, aud excites but little comment. Ohio men are divided on Adams and Gov. Cox, of Ohio.
The Tennessee delegation held a caucus to-day. They claim they have no choice and will support the nominee of the Couvention. The Indiana delegation will meet in caucus at 2 P. M. Illinois is endeavoring to bring the whole of the three delegations together this afternoon. The prospects are said to be favorable for the New York delegates now in caucus. It is said they will decide between Greeley and Adams. The Pennsylvania delegation meets this evening.
Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas delegations all held the caucuses this forenoon, aud have arrived at no definite conclusion. It is stated they are divided almost equally for Adams, Greeley and Brown, but will snpport any good man.
At this hour, 1:30 P. M., Davis and Trumbull are the most prominently mentioned, with Curtin or Greeley for the second place.
[The following dispatches to the Associated Press last evening the Express did not see fit to publish. They propose to look over the news and publish part, such parts as may suit them personally. This they have aright to do, but their readers have a right to expect them to publish both sides of a question that is attracting so much attention as the Cincinnati Convention.—ED. GAZETTE.]
CINCINNATI, April 29. The hotels, streets, and everything to-day has indicated the near approach of the two political conventions to which the country for weeks2 has been looking. Flags are displayed in various parts of the city, particularly in the German portions. The hotels have been rapidly filling and newspaper reporters are here in swarms. It has probably seldom occurred in the history of the country that so many newspaper men have been attracted to a given place, though it would not be fair to say they were all in favor of the Liberal movement. The-e is scarcely a prominent paper in the country of either party that has not a representative here, and in some cases two or three persons from the office. Among the latest arrivals is Donn Piatt, who reached here to-night.
The Georgia delegation came to-night, and stopped at the Buruett House. Part of the Kansas delegation arrived to-day and put up at the Gait House. The Texas delegation also came to-day, and is divided between the Gait and Gibson Houses. Eleven gentlemen from Arkansas have reached here, and are now at the Spencer, as are also a part of the Tennessee delegation. There has been a general interchange of views to-day among the delegates from the different States relative to what is essential to best meet the popular expectations for political reform. A|pretty close canvassshows that while there is a wide diversity of opinion on the tariff, there is an earnest desire to harmonize on the platform. The revenue reform element preponderates, bat the protectionists are firm, and hold tbat unless that question is ignored or very carefully expressed a large vote in the East
y~ili
any that thfe
free trade men in New York are for Grant. There is confident belief that the difference will be adjusted to-morrow, sothe committee on resolutions will have little trouble in drafting a platform, which is not likely to be much different from the Missouri address under which the Convention is .called. The canvass for candidates has been sharply conducted between the friends of Adams and Davis. As heretofore, there is a strong preasure from the East and Ohio for Adams, and it was given out this forenoon that friends of Davis might, rather than yield to such nomination, bring forward a compromise candidate, and there is a growing conviction that in that event Gen. J. D. Cox will be the man.
There is one other point not lost sisht of by some, that if free trade influence succeeds in securiner the adoption of the Missouri platform, Horace Greelev will be strongly pressed for the Presidential nomination, in order that he may hold the Protectionists. The corridors of the Burnet House, which appears to be the head or force point upon which the in terest concentrates, has been thronged to-day and to-night. This evening there appears less diversity of sentiment on the subject of caudidacy, though it was not impossible to hear from a prominent source intimations that there was a slate fixed up which, if pressed on the Convention, boded no good to the purposes of projectors.
At a meeting of the New York delegation, held to-day, a paper from W. Reed, of the New York Tribune, was presented, which, it is understood, embodies Mr. Greeley's views of a revenue plank in the platform to be constructed. This pro vides that finding ourselves not fully agreed with respect to free trade, as op posed to protection, we respectfully com mend the grave issues involved in that controvesv to the careful study and unbiased adjudication of the people, urging them tochoose members of Congress who truly embody and will faithfully reflect their will on that subject, pledging ourselves that that will, when thus authoritatively made known, shall be implicitly obeyed.
It is understood that this was acquiesced in by the delegation of which Governor Fenton is a member, and that it was presented to a private meeting of Pennsylvania reformers, held at a later hour.
The hall in which the Liberal Couven tion is to meet is now ready for use, and was this evening formerly turned over by the citizens' committee, who have fitted it up from contributions made by citizens of Cincinnati to the executive committee of Liberal Republicans and reunion aud Reform Conventions.
The hall is doubtless one of the best suited to the purpose of such an assemblage that exists in the United States. It is the maiu hall of the Industrial Exposition, which consists of a succession of arches, seventy feet in height, forming a building two hundred aud fifty feet in length, and with the aisles one hundred and twenty-five feet wide. It is stated to hold 5,000 persons, but will comfortably hold more than twice this number.
The capacious stage is six feet above the main floor, and extends ih the hall so as to enable all persons who are seated to hear the speaker, if good order is maintained. On the stajre there are one hundred and twenty-five chairs, while below chairs are provided for seven hundred delegates. Immediately below, on a circular platform, two feet above the maiu floor, are the tables for the newspaper reporters, over one hundred in number.
Carl Sehurz had a reception from his German friends at Washington platform to-night,and to-morrow morning,at 11 o'clock, addresses the Kentucky State Liberal Republican Convention in Covington.
The following is the official document providing for the organization of the Liberal Convention The Executive appointed by the Missouri State Convention, by which the Liberal Republican National Convention was called, having met in consultation with the representatives of delegations from different States, announces the following plan of organization, which has been unanimously agreed upon by that Committee and the representatives consulted.
The National Convention will be called to order in Exposition Hall at noon on Wednesday. After effecting a temporary organization, it will then be adjourned at once, and the members from the several States will proceed to assemble in State Conventions to elect delegates. Each State shall be entitled to representation upon the basis of four delegates at large and two for each member of Congress allotted to-it under the new apportionment, and these States are recommended to select delegates from Congressional districts, as fay as possible. In case any State shall not be represented by a number of persons equal to that to which it shall be entitled under the foregoing rule, theu those present shall be entitled to cast the full vote ot the State, at 10 o'clock A. M., Tuesday.
Those intending to participate in the convention are requested to enroll their names at their State headquarters during Tuesday, and the number thus enrolled will be reported to the person having charge of the enrollment in each State not later than 9 A. M. Wednesday, to the chairman of the executive committee, at room No. 9 Mozart Hall. A corresponding number of tickets will there be delivered to the person having charge of the enrollment for' each State, and by him distributed at State headquarters at .ten o'clock, to those whose names have been enrolled. These tickets will admit to the body of the hall. By order of the Executive" Committee.
Signed, WM. GROSVENOR, Chairman.
