The Governors Voice.
| CLEVELAND, O., October 17.-This
| has been a day of triumph for Gov.
Roosevelt In Ohio Tonight the city
of Cleveland gave him reception RI
valing any similar demonstration ever
made here. There was an immense
parade, consisting of half score OF
brass bands, dozens of political organ
izations, including many which had
come hither from other places to do
honor to the candidate for Vice Presi-
dent.
Only one incident marred the even
ing, Notwithstanding reports circulated
early in the day that an attempt would
be made to break up the proposed
meeting at Newburg. 1t was here that
a hoy, standing some distance away.
threw a rock at the Governor as the
latter was leaving the tent in company
wis National Committeeman Herrick,
of Ohio, and others. The rock struck
the Governor on the head. Quickly
the Governors companions closed
around him and hustled him into a
passing car, on which he was borne
away.
Il was not hurt at all said the Gov
ernor, when he returned to his car, ana
discussed the matter with several
friends. ''The rock was thrown by one
OF a number Of hoodlums, and l saw
! him throw 1t. 1t struck my head, but
my hat prevented it from wounding
me. In the light Of the splendid re-
ception Cleveland has given me, the
stone throwing is scarcely worth re-
! Numbering for moment. l never law
greater enthusiasm than tina. at the
Armory meeting Indeed, l have
cause to remember Cleveland with
pleasure and PRIDE"
AT the tent the Governor was fol-
lowed by Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., who
made an exhaustive address. Senator
Foraker opened the meeting at the
armory, making strong appeal in be-
half of the Republican national ticket,
and at the close Of his address Governor
| Roosevelt was introduced. The Gov
ernor extensively discussed the issues
Of the campaign and assured his aud
fence that Ohio was all right and that
he would carry the good news back to
New York and ask his State to do as
well.
This was the fourteenth speech that
Governor Roosevelt made in Ohio to-
day, beginning at Delaware, which city,
Marion, Upper Sandusky, Carey, Fos-
toria and Pemberville, gave him rous-
ing receptions. The first big demon
stration. however, was made at Toledo,

that almost filled the great circus tent
An hour and a half was spent here in
parade and speaking. Leaving Toledo
at 2:45 p. m, the train made brief stops
at Clyde, Bellevue and Elyria, at all
of which places Governor Nash also
spoke, as did Colonel Guild. At Clyde
the employees of a granite and marble
company presented the Governor with
bucket filled with sandwiches, pie,
cake and coffee, and bearing the legend,
/ Eight hours and full dinner pail
Tonight DR.. Curtis, the Governor s
physician, who will leave the train at
/ Canton tomorrow, said:
Governor Roosevelt's voice depends
upon the avoidance of over-fatigue. If
he exercises a little more care than
he has in the past | think he may be
able to fulfill his engagements, but /
could not guarantee any voice where
twenty-five speeches are made on two
consecutive days, with interrupted rest
and under great nervous strain. Other
wise Colonel Roosevelt is in superb
physical condition"
Since leaving Chicago, last Wednes-
! day morning, Governor Roosevelt's
train has travelled 1,777 miles and has
been handled over twenty separate lines
OF railroad.
