Governor Markham Expresses His
Views as to the Reception.
There will be a meeting at the Court
house this evening of the Citizens Exec
utive Committee to take further action in
regard to the proposed reception to Presi-
dent Harrison on the occasion OF his visit
to this city.
Yesterday several members of the com
mittee, including Mayor Comstock, called
on Governor Markham and had quite Il
long talk with him on the subject of the
entertainment of the President. The in
terView was entirely informal, but many
suggestions were made by members of
the committee, several of which Gov
ernor Markham warmly seconded. One
was that the formal address of welcome
should be delivered by eE-GoVernor
Newton Booth.
Governor Markham favored the idea of
having all the reception within Capitol
Park, and thought it would be a very
pretty feature to have the school children
carry flowers with which to greet the
honored guest.
ANOTHER HITCH.

ceived a telegram from Congressman

lows:
