I like this, and perhaps soon some OF US
NAV hear the plaintive strains OF
lover the hill to the poor house.

l came to the city yesterday, and l
/ saw the flaming doors OF your furnaces,
/ and have seen to-day the illustration
of capital and labor, and am assured
the metropolis is enjoying a business
| boom. | have seen what may be effect
ed by the combination OF labor and ca
pital, and | saw your brawny work
men working with the light CT hope
upon their faces, and l know they are
| necessary to our country's welfare.
saw your fire depal tment come out and
marked the speed with which they
rushed TO the rescue and saw stern de-
termination written on their faces-a
resolution to do and die, and thought
\ 10 what greater respect Is he entitled
who labOrs with the muscles oil the mind
| rather than the body.
Such occasions as these are necessary
| and beget more generous and charitable
feelings; we feel a greater interest in
each other and something beyond the
ties of business We are cO-workers
in the great struggle for life. Such oc-
| casions are ordained in the course OF
nature. Such receptions as we have re-
ceived, make Wheeling kindred to the
rest of the State. Applause. We rep
resent the rest of the State, and coming
| here and without expecting such gem
erosity, can scarcely thank you IN words
But do thank you on behalf OF the AS
| ISOLATION. This is not the Pan Handle
that should belong to Pennsylvania or
| Ohio, but was born in travail and is
bone of our bone, flesh OF our flesh.
| Our prosperity is yours, and we will so
advance until higher and a grander
| education shall enable us TO take an adj
yanced ground from which we can look
| back and say: This is the past and We
have progressed.
At the close of Mr.. Morris reply, Mr..
Hubbard offered the toast: 'The State
| of West Virginia" 10 which Governor
| Mathews responded:
| dislike TO mar the effects OF the
beautiful address you have Just heard,
by more words, but cannot refuse to
| respond to that toast. The State has
many agents to advance and promote
her interests, but none like the press.
| This day was my first visit TO your
meeting, and have discovered In you
the important factors OF State advance
ment. You 20 about and give every
| thing with a freshness and impressive
ness that could be secured in no other
| way. | cannot take it upon me to dlc-
| tate 10 YOU the manner OF conducting
the press, though | might suggest dis
| CusSion Of the improvement OF our Tor
est lands and development of our min
eral wealth. Already they have attract
ell attention, and all that is now neces-
/ sarv is for the press TO keep this atten
ton properly directed.
have deplored a tendency to create
| sectiOnalism, and / want the time TO
come when we shall feel we are not the
| citizens of a district, but OF State. l
want the time to hasten when the coal
fields of Kanawha, the grazing lands OF
Cireenbrier and the manufacturing
wealth of Wheeling will be of equal in
terest to all. Applause =,
Mr.. Geo. II. Sargent was then called
upon as a candidate for Governor. Said
| he: Come around to the state House
tomorrow and | will address you.
Chairman Hubbard will now call
out a man who has often taken advant-
| age of me. call upon Hon. &. ID. Hub
/ bard for some remarks.
CD. HUBBARD'S REMARKS.
/ surrender at discretion. | am glad
| that the Association came at the turning
oi the tide OF prosperity, Tor they have
seen more smiling faces than they would
have seen one year ago. We have
/ passed the seven years OF famine, and |
! trust the seven years OF prosperity are
now before us. You have seen
| the useful in tine mills, the useful and
ornamental in the glasshouses and all
| combined i'm our friend Mr.. Reymann's
establishment, laughter | do not
saw that Wheeling is the Paris OF West
Virginia, but | do say it affects and is
affected by the State. The Roman
matron said her children were her jew
els, and we can say the blackened faces
| and rigid muscles of our wOrkmen have
/ given Wheeling her position among the
| cities of the world. Solomon, at the
dedication of his temple, gave the black
smith the place of honor, and we may
/ say all honor TO our labOrers; they
| are erecting our editlCe OF honor, stand
/ ing and reputation with other States.
| am clad To meet this Association, be-
/ cause they can make the State what 1t
/ should be, and your humble servant
/ takes pride in the State. Go out and
tell the artisans that to them the path
is open TO the highest point. Tell them
/ there is a future which they may build.
| Tell them they can raise TO a higher
moral standard, a more enduring happl-
| ness and civilization the State We are
proud to call our own.
Chairman Hubbard then offered
toast to The City OF Parkersburg," and
called upon Mr.. ScOiield for a re-
spouse. .
SCOFIELD SAID:
Ii there is anything would rather
not do Just now, than talk, 1t would be
| TO run foot race l am too full to talk
or walk. have no speech, and Hub
| bard has no regard for either
ace nor beauty. But, gentlemen,
| levitv aside, | am surprised at
! your generosity, but you have put
your money where it would do the most
/ good. Laughter. | offer this sentl-
| ment, and in water, gentlemen, Tor L
want to spare the tables-we nigh want

Wheeliug-muniicent in her hospitality,
magnificent in her business interests and
grand in her booms-may she ever re-
main, as she now is, the Capital of the
Commonwealth" Applause.
Mayor Sweeney then made fine adj
dress, as did also Judge Cranmer, but
the lateness Of the hour precludes even
asynOpsis.
Mr. Hubbard-There is gentleman
here frOpa the county of Wetzel who has
won an undying reputation as the apple
of the ladies' eyes. give you Captain
McEldowney. [ApplauseJ
The Captain-Oi course, gentlemen,

give YOU this: To the county OF Wet
zel-may her Red Men diminish and
her Democracy increase. And l will
say hope 10 get tins Association there
sometime, and will meet YOU in the
wigwam, the same where we nominated
Ben Wilson last year. Applause.
Scoheld-I don't see now the Demo
