depot AN form Of government,
otheimagiued, as he looked at the
oubgs generally and particularly,
TING, me royal potentate, or several
rs of the blood, were about to set ont
:, on state tour of the realm. Things
We're gotten upon truly magnificent and
gorgeous scale. There were private palace
cars, aud rare flowers, and fire works, and
champaign, and all the other elements OF
royal good time, in profusion, and the
whole expedition was upon q scale OF
grandeur eminently fitting the millionaire
managed party in whose interests it was
gotten up.
The first excitement about the depot
was caused by the arrival Of the Parkers-
burg contingent, which came up In a
sleeper over the Ohio River Road, and was
transferred to the B. & o. tracks and run
into the depot about a quarter before nine
o'clock. This car was decorated with q
broad. strip of white, running along the
whole length, bearing the legend, Par
kersburg, w. Va, Rspublicans-Solid for
Protection" Inside the car were the fol-
lowing citizens of the metropolis of Wood
County and the surrounding country: Col.

the "City of Columbus" and the party
was well fixed in every respect for pleas
ant trip.
For the accommodation of the Wheel
ing contingent there were two private cars
for the delegates and the more distinguish
ed members of the party, and five sleepers
and two day coaches for the rank and file.
| All these were crowded, there being ap-
parently about two hundred on board
when tie train pulled ont. A good many
of the pilgrims went down TO the depot
quietly about nine O'Clock, but goodly
number went behind the Black Eagle
Drum Corps, to the air Of Marching
Through Georgia." At the depot there
was q wild scene OF confusion,
people with sections aud bsrths IN the
sleepers, rushing around trying to find
them, and those who had neglected to en-
gage their quarters hopelessly trying to
find some one who could fix them up for
the night. Some people were searching
for friends, some were looking up mislaid
valises, wives were enquiring for husbands,
aud husbands were locating the wher-
abouts of "last chance" drink, or seeing
that the champaign in the private cars
was being properly iced, while several
very young gentlemen were industriousiy
shooting big fire crackers from the car
platforms. or burning red fire with an in
dustry which promised to send every one in
the crowd into prolonged coughing spell
before the train should pull out,
In q special car little apart from the
rest, were some twenty members of the L.
p. A, en- route 10 the Minneapolis Con-
vention CT their order, among them being
Joe Gibbs, ]. d. Mckee, OFT Carothers, w.
F. Peterson, and others well known to all.
These gentlemen will shake the Convention
crowd ut Chicago, and 90 on to their desti-
nation at Minneapolis this evening.
The private car of Col. W. NJ, Clements
was appropriated to the particular uses of
the Inteliigeneer gentlemen and their
ladies. with q few friends, and was decorated
with a profusion of flowers. On board
