OClOCk on IuoH netuFh
Trip to the State
Capital.
About 10:40 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the special train bearing the pill
grims from Columbus to the presidential
shrine in this city arrived at the Penn
sylvania depot.
There were three coaches, and Just
eighty-one people came with the party.
Senator wilhelm. who came with the
delegation, said that one thing could
be scid about this party that was rather
remarkable, under the circumstances,
and that was that every one in the
crowd bought a ticket and paid his own
way. This certainly Is something out
of the ordinary line Of procedure for
state officials.
The party was made up of nearly all
the state officials, with the state Repub-
lican committee, headed by Chairman
Dick, and a sprinkling Of legislators
and politicians.
At the train the reception committee
was waiting with coaches, and twenty
two were filled. Secretary Cortelyou
was there with the presidents carriage
waiting for DR.. Rixey, who came from
the east just before the special came
from the west. The carriage was then
held and Governor Nash was taken in
and driven in it to the home Of the
president. The coaches lined up two
abreast, and the party went at once to
the Market street cottage. They filed
in the doors and were formally re-
ceived by the president in the side par
lor, where he shook each man by the
hand.
There was no band, no noise, no con-
fusion, no speech making. They just
came up. had jolly good time together
and met the president of the United
States and the candidate of the party
for reelection. A photographer was
stationed in the yard to take a snap
shot at the delegation but many got
away and the picture was not taken.
Besides the Columbus party, about
25 or so came down from Cleveland and
other parts Of the state on other trains,
until the delegation that went up num-
bered over 100.
After they had met the president they
filed down town and took dinner at the
Yohe. The return trip to Columbus will
be commenced at 3 o'clock.
