Gov. Mathews, OF West Virginia, was
then introduced. His speech was an able
effort, although delivered extemporane.
ously. He thanked the ladies Of the As.
ISOLATION for the honor done TO the young
State OF West Virginia, saying ~ was
highly grRtiied TO be able 10 turn aside
for a day to accept your kind invitation
10 visit this spot. l am here with q del.
egation Of ladies and gentleman from
West Virginia to feebly express our ad-
miration ut what you have already ac-
cOmplished and what you intend to do in
the future. We are here from Virginia
and West Virginia, for neither time, dis.
lance, nor the change Of boundaries keep
Virginians from being linked with Wiz.
giniAns In the closest ties OF brotherhood.
Our sentiments are still undivided, nor
can anything diyest uS Of the interest in
the sacred soil Of Mt. Vernon" The
speaker said that his State had already
done some good work In the r~econciliG.
ton Of the country. The population was
composed almost equally Of Northerners
and Soulherners, the generous hospitals
y, social tastes and characteristics OF the
latter being modified by the industry aud
energy Of the former. One will find no.
where less party divisions and party
strife. In conclusion the Governor urg.
ed his hearers in an eloquent peroration
to initiate the high qualities Of the Father
OF bis Country.
Al the conclusion Of these exercises
the mansion grounds and various points OF
interest were examined. Several Of our.
ladies fingered with 4 sort Of sad ias-
cinatton At the door Of the room Ia
which Mrs. Washington died. Il Is 10.

her immortal husband breathed his last,
