The greatest Interest Is being mani
tested throughout the tri-state radius
in the coming Of Teddy" Roosevelt
next Thursday. and with good weather
Wheeling will witness the greatest poll
ticl demonstration In her history. Al
ready eight Pittsburgh clubs have ac-
cepted Invitations, and others are to act
on the Invitations to-day and to-mor-
row. The indications point to the pres
ence here OF ut least 100 visiting clubs,
probably more. The' railroads are ad-
vertIslng the affair enterprlsingly, using
the fine two-coor posters which the
committee on arrangements secured
Saturday. The cheap railroad rate-one
fare for the round trip-proves especial
ly attractive. Owing to the Roosevelt
train going south from Wheeling on the
Ohio River road, the larger portion OF
the crowd here will come from eastern
Ohio. northern West Virginia and west
ern Pennsylvania.

ing clubs committee, went to Pittsburgh
Saturday, and attended q meeting Of the

while Mr.. McNabb was bringing his
batteries of persuasion to bear in favor
Of his home town that q telegram was
received from New York to the effect
that no uniformed clubs were wanted
there for the particular affair the Amer
icus boys Intended attending. With

voting to come to Wheeling by u vote Of
| two to one. Mr.. McNabb also visited
the quarters OF the Pittsburgh Tariff
Club,and thanked the officers and MEM
bers for their acceptance Of the invita-
tIon to come to Wheeling. and while
