our actions. We have promised to run them
over cur road in certain time which unfor-
tunately prevented our accepting your very
kind invitation to stop longer with you. We
recognize that the position Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad in the city OF Wheeling
has not been all it should be, but we do not
accuse anybody of having done wrong-pos-

certainly our relations should be most pleas

fact in relation to one point viz: our shops.
Our position has BY no means
been satisfactory for q great trunk
line, for certain reasons into which need
not enter. The last time / visited the L
o. shops in this city, felt mortified. We
are much pleased to have this expression OF
feeling from the business men Of Wheeling.
We intend to unite with you in building up
the interests ofthe city Of Wheeling, feeling
as we do that the interests Of that city and
the B. & o. road are joint. do not
need to say more. We got to the West
through Wheeling when we were denied
the right Of access by the
State of Pennsylvania to Pittsburg We
believe there is great future for this State,
and we believe We could not do
better than aid in every possible manner
the advancement of the material interests
of this State. We have with US Senator
Davis, representing West Virginia. BE has
done much to advance the interests Of your
State, and has also done much to induce
Others to come and spend money in our
Joint interests. We hope the example he
has set will be followed BY many Of the
strong men Of West Virginia. | believe |
have nothing more to say, gentlemen, than
to sgain thank you for your kind and cor.
dial greeting, which, assure you, We oil
very much appreciate. Applause
