ALONG THE ROUTE
All along the line OF march the en-.
thusiasm exceeded anything ever seen
in WOst Virginia. Men, women and
children cheered and yelled. Cries for
Mckinley were very numerous, but the
most enthusiasm was occasiened by Mr..
Elkins'a appearance in hack. As he
passed tllore were almost constant
cheers for him as the next United
States senator from West Virginia.
Dayton was also lion Of the hour, and
cheers for him as the man that beat
"Willam London" Wilson, were heard
on all hands. Dovener, too, was cheer.
ed everywhere, aud all the congressman
elect received regular oyations from the
beginning TO tho end Of the line Of
march. All the other prominent
Republicans in the hacks as well az
prominent features OF the rank aud file,
received the warmest greetings. The
members OF tho legislature elected last
Tuesday shared with the live 'coons, the
dead ROSTERS, the new bronms which
swept clean, and the fine marching clubs
from other towns the enthusiastic re.
ception by the people who lined the
street so densely. 1t was night long
to be remembered. and an enthusiastic
Republican remarked that tho extreme.
" bad weather was special interposi:
ton oil providence to prevent the crowd
from becoming so large that the town
would not hold it. As it was the
throng was beyond the proportions
