The West Virginia tour of Hon. Adlai
Ewing Stevenson, Democratic scandi-
date for Vice President, started auspi-
ciously in this city yesterday morning.
His train arrived in the city over the
Pennsylvania line shortly after seven
O'Clock, coming from Coshocton, Ohio,
where Mr.. Stevenson addressed a large
meeting Monday night. He was ac-
companied by ex-Congressman Ryan,
of New York State, who is to tour with
him and who will be heard in Ohio
county.
Mr.. Stevenson came down from
Wheeling Junction in regular day
coach, and was met here by the recep-
ton committee whose names were pub
lished in the Register yesterday. He
was in excellent health, but had evil
IDENTIFY been somewhat annoyed by the
press kilograms concerning his illness.
They were probably based upon a tele-
gram sent to his family, in which Mr..
Stevenson mentioned the fact that he
was suffering from catarrh.
The members of the reception COM
mittee were introduced to Mr.. Steven
son, who received them very gracious
ly. There was hand shaking for five
or ten minutes. Notwithstanding the
early hour and the fact that the air
was chilly and uncomfortable, a crowd
of several hundred persons had assem-
bled at the station, and when Mr.. Ste
venson alighted from his car he was
greeted with a round of enthusiastic
cheers. Several women were in the
crowd which pushed forward, and those
who were unable to reach him were
given a gracious bow and smile. Mr..
Stevenson was escorted to the Hotel
Windsor, where he was the guest of
the Young Mems Democratic Club. He
took his breakfast in one of the private
dining rooms of the hotel.
Shortly before nine o'clock he re-
appeared at Inc entrance to the hotel,
and several hundred who had stood
about waiting very patiently gave him
hearty cheer. The Ohio River Rail-
road Company had rendered the use
of a special train, and Mr.. Stevenson
was escorted to mis- car The crowd
assembled about it, and it was evident
that a speech was expected.
The distinguished visitor was intro
duced by Hon. John o. Pendleton, and
spoke briefly. He expressed mis- appre-
citation of the compliment extended to
him by the attendance OF so many per-
sons at such an early hour. He said
he was gratified to meet his Wheeling
friends once more, and he thought he
saw in the faces of those who were as
sembled that there was more hope of
party success than there was four years
ago. He said he brought tidings of
good cheer from his own State of Hill
nois, and he wanted to take back with
him similar tidings from West Vir-
ginia.
Continuing, Mr.. Stevenson alluded to
the Importance of the campaign, and
expressed regret that he would not
have time to touch upon all the issues.
He spoke of the trust evil, which had
thrown many persons out OF employ
ment and prevented them from using
their brains as a means of livelihood.
He also spoke of the Republican pur-
pose to continue a war which is unjust
and directly in conflict with the prin-
ciples Of our government.
While Mr.. Stevenson was speaking
the train pulled out, and somebody
called for three cheers for 'the next
Vice President of the United States,
which were given with will.
AS the train passed the mills and
factories on the South Side many of
the employees rushed out and cheered
Mr. Stevenson, who walked to the door
of the car and was kept busy In bow
ing his Acknowledgements until the
train reached Benwood.
The reception accorded to Mr. Ste
venson all along the road is covered in
special kilograms to- the Register pub
lished elsewhere in this issue.
