was VIC blIIc SGb 10Y buG lhUhe hDbu JuG
Capitol. Accordingly at 3:20 L. VI. yes
terday evening the delegation, number
ing perhaps five hundred persons i'll all,
| among whom was STAR Representative,
started on thor way tor that place by
way of the Dayton Short-line Railroad.
1t was special train, but the only
| special feature OF it vas the snai!-ltke
| pace with Which it moved. Instead OF it
| having the right of way, us all well reg
ulated specials should, it was side
| traGEeu in almost every fence corner be-
tween Cincinnati and Dayton, and when
| IL did move the rate of speed WAS SO
conservative CHATS good Word) that
it was seriously debated whether or not
it wouldn't be a good idea to send u man
ahead 10 keep the cattle off the track.
1t was amusing to hear the comments
Oh the lightning ?)speea OF that special.
Gen." KIsk was confident that that
deYiiish Democratic train dispatcher
was doing IL on purpose, just to belale
| the. boys in their patriotic services.
| Others said this train must the R9gu-
lator, as all others 90 by it. Finally,
however, Maups Station was reached,
where the Glee Club aiighted from tue
cars and sang "Marching Through
| Georgia." that made the woods ring
with melody. Soon after Dayton was
passed, from whence, until the journeys
end, excellent time was made, but
whether the credit is due to the agree
able conductor, A. s. Braley, or not is
another question.
Rnsk and the boys were inclined to
think that Bradley should have The praise
anyhow.
At forty minutes rast 0 O'CLOCK, The
tram pulled into the Columbus Union
Depot, making a fraction over six
hours that the train had been on the
road. A hungrier crowd never besicgad
That ancient town. By the Kindness of
Mr.. Geo. w. Jones, OF the Eighteenth
Ward, the delegation had been supplied
with two hundred sandwiches, which
were ravenOusly deVoured at the usual
tea time, and this was all that kept the
boys from being desperate.
Arriving at the depot, that grand
building was perfectly alive with people.
Several companies of the Hayes Guards
were on hand to welcome their Clnctn-
natl brethren, and their blazing torches
lit up the whole expanse. Citizens OF
all a.,es, sizes and political compilations
were on hand, and most cordial well
come was accorded the visitors, who,
forming in line, marched at the post OF
honor, the he al Of the line preceded by
the old Newport Barracks Band.
The objective point was the State
house. Al ten minutes past 10 O'Clock
the Eastern front Of the building was lit
uD by the myriad of torches borne by the
marching columns. The steps OF the
editice were black with surging, push
ing and eager crowd, VINO had followed
the torcE-OearerS there, and in a few
minutes Governor Hayes, accompanied
by his beautiful wife, u few ladies and
General Wykoff, made his appearance.
La -a-teW-approprlate a. Woras, Mr.. Fred.
ID. Mussey, Of the Cincinnati Times WHO
had been persuaded, much against his
will, to enact the part oil Cincinnatps
ora or in presenting the boys to Lhe Gov
ernor, stepped to The front and did his
duty like little man. (He said after
the agony was over that his knees were
inclined TO go back on him during the
trying ordea.-M Mussey being an ex-
tremely modest journalist.)
Gov. Hayes OF course responded, and
there the lormaliLies' ended. But the
Governors speech WAS hardly up to the
standard. LII had but one merit-DreVi-
ty. The little Cincinnati newspaper
man got away with him on that score
his speech was decidedly the best. A
few more songs by both The Columbus
and Cincinnati Clubs ended the open
air exercises, and the guests of the even
ing followed the Governors party to his |
room i'll the State-hOuse, where all in. |
formal reception took place. That is,
Gov. Hayes and his wife stood in the |
middle OF the room and shook hands |
wi II those who were presented.
Mr. l.. &. Curtis, the Associated Press |
Agent, i'll behalf OF General Wykoff then |
gathered the Cincinnati newspaper men |
under his wing ana Look them TO supper,
