Remains to be done.
The session of the editorial asso-
citation which was set for the after
noon yesterday was postponed until
this morning and all the papers
which were set for yesterday also
went over The reason for this was
two fold Several of those who were
down for papers were not here and
the attendance was SO small that it
was thought best to wait for while.
After the train came in as it was
late it was concluded to hold over
until this morning and the visitors
spent the afternoon watching the ca
diets drill and Inspecting the various
departments of the University.
Arrangements had been made for
the different professors to remain in
their rooms and gave the quill driv-
ers all the information about the
work done which they desired to
have. The visitors were very much
interested in this tour Of inspection
and were surprised at the extent
and thoroughness of very large
attendance The Hall was comfort
ably filled in anticipation of great
treat. Nor we've those present dis
appointed They heard three elo-
quent addresses and listened to sew
eral musical numbers which were
very pleasing.
Miss McMurphy gave beautiful
piano solo and was compelled to
answer an enthusiastic encore
Hon. George c. Sturgiss was then
introduced by the President of the
Association and on behalf of the I'm
iversity and the people of Morgan
town babe the visitors welcome. The
address was very fine one and was
heard with deep attention. Several
times the audience broke into APP
plause especially when he mentioned
the glorious triumph of Dewey and
his gallant men. The address was
typewriter but was delivered with
the easy grace of well committed
Grafton.
Secretary Robert Lynn Bland, of
Weston, replied on behalf of the AS
ISOLATION and thanked the speaker
eloquently for the warm words of
welcome which he had given the AS
ISOLATION. The address was very
good one and was well received
Five young ladies, Misses Gamer
on, Gertrude Hayes, Sharp, Mary
Hayes and Sue Gilbert sang very
beautiful selection and then respond
ed to an encore.
The orator of the evening, Hon.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, was then
introduced and he held the audience
very closely for more than two
hours. Such eloquence and humor
has never before been heard here.
The audience responded quickly to
the various sallies and he kept them
in roar nearly all the time. The
address was on picturesque Public
Men" and some views were given of
the characters of the American Con
gress such as are not seen every day.
His Characterization Of the different
men was critical Implying and Wv
i'd. The sense of personal acquaint-
ance was given one after he had fin
ished describing a man whom he
had up for discussion. The applause
at times was such that the Speaker
had to pause in order to wait so that
he could be heard No one who
heard the address will soon forget it
and the Association and the people
of the town have every reason to be
proud of the fact that he was here
and gave the lecture.
