The President.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. N.-President
Mckinley surprised the people of Cleve-
land by his arrival from Buffalo this
morning. The bitterest disappoint-
ment prevails over the manner in
which the President and Senator Hanna
entered Cleveland. The Tippecanoe
club and the naval reserve had planned
a most elaborate reception which in.
cluded parade and speech in the
public square. 1t fell as shock to all
of them to learn that the President had
arrived two hours earlier and was al
ready at Windemere. He was asked
his impression concerning prosperity as
gathered from his trip across the
country. "You had better ask bust.
ness men about that" he replied.
"They can give you better information
than I can" His stay in Cleveland, he
said, would be quiet one with rest as
the principal thing to be sought. On
Wednesday the presidential party wi !
leave for Fremont, o., where they will
attend the Hayes.Smith wedding in the
evening. The following day the Presi.
dent will attend the reunion of his old
regiment. On Friday he will attend
the State fair at Columbus. The Presi.

A largely. attended meeting of repub-
lican voters of Hampton and Elizabeth
City counties Was held Wednesday
night In Hampton. Speeches in favor
of State convention were greeted with
applause.
Strong resolutions were adopted, de.
claring that the outlook for republican
success in the State is such as to war
rant preparations for vigorous COM
bat. The resolutions recognize Col.
Lamb as the State chairman. A State
convention was called for, to be held at
such time and place as Col. Lamb may
designate, for the purpose of nominal.
ing a ticket. The resolutions conclude
as follows:
"We condemn the republicanism of
George E Bowden and his followers in
supporting a democrat in our late Con-
gressional election to defeat our party
nominee, Richard A. Wise; that the
aforesaid action is against the will and
wishes of the republican people of this
district, who endorse our State chair
man and stand ready to uphold him in
his great endesvor to vindicats the
rights of the people and secure to the
Commonwealth pure administration"

and for others to attempt the role is
conclusive evidence of conspicuous folly.

Ex.Gov. EVANS. of South Carolina,
declares that one of his appointees
ought to be in the peniteutiary, and
that, too, though he had sent him to a
gold cure before he appointed him; and
he also threatens Senator McLaurln
with personal violence. In former
times the people of South Carolina were
distinguished for their courtesy,
honor and chivalry, but since the
advent of universal suffrage they
have discarded their old and
proved leaders and taken up with
the Tillmans, Irbys and others of that
ilk, and now suffer the legitimate con
sequences.

AS INITIATED in the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence OF yester'
days date, it seems that the many Vlr.
ginia republicans who are dissatisfied
with the treatment they have received
at the hands of their State committee
and the administration, are to hold 8
State convention, irrespective of their
committees refusal to call one. and
manifest their disapprobation OF both
committee and administration by send
ing to it as large delegations as pos
sible. Two meetings to that effect have
already been held-one at stanton
and one at Hampton-snd others, 1t is
reported, will soon be held In all the
other counties of the State.
