THOUSANDS MARCHED
IN THE PROCESSION
To the state Fair Grounds where
the Exercises of the Afternoon
Were Held-OrHanizatto in Line.

Were Heid-OrRanizatton in Line.
The exercises at the State Fair
Grounds were preceded by solemn
march of militarv and civic organiza-
lions through the business district of
the city to the place of assemblage.
The streets and sidewalks were l.ter-
ally congested with humanity, the
short line of march being in part re-
sponsible for that condition of affairs.
Conspicuously displayed by men, wo-
men and children were badges OF crepe
and other emblems of mourning.
1t was unlike any procession of such
magnitude ever given in Wheeling.
Instead of spirited marches the bands
PLAYED dirges. There was no applause
from the sidewalks, no loud words OF
salutation between marchers and spec
tators. The men walked slowly ana
the crowd was quiet. At was a solemn
occasion, and the demeanor of the men
in line and lie thousands upon the
sidewalks was very appropriate. There
was such a marked absence OF noises
of any character that even the light
chatter of the school children who
formed a rear division excited COM
ment.
The organizations fell into line
promptly and took the places assigned
to them in the several divisions. About
the hour for starting Caleb Sylvis and
his assistants began firing the gun
salute from the brow or Wheeling hill.
Shortly after two o'clock Brigadier
General c. l.. Smith, of the National
Guard gave the command to march,
and the column swung into Fourteenth,
thence north on Market to Tenth,
across the bridge and down Penn street
to the Fair Grounds, an immense
crowd following.
The formation of the column was as

Never in its history has our city
given so great an evidence of the in
nate nobility of its citizens-of it's hui
manity-as was shown yesterday in the
manner of its tribute of profound re-
spect to the life. deeds. character and
memory of our dead President, William
Mckinley.
1t was as If they said to him In the
tribute words of Richard LeGallicnnc,
the English poet and scholar:
"A fool has shot you down.
fool In freedom name,
Yet you're living all the same
You're living in our love.
Though you're lying in the grave
True. pure and brave.
The tears of all the world
Lie on your grave like dew,
The eyes OF all the world
Are wet for loss OF you,
For you and the brave wife
That lived so near to you.
For everywhere was the silence of a
great sorrow. The ponderous machin-
cry in the great iron and steel and tn
mills was silent at command of the
masters and wish of the employees; the
wheels in the great factories stopped
the marts of trade were closed and
draped in mourning garb; the saloons
were closed by the owners. as never
before In the city; the school rooms
were silent and even the pulse beats
of the railways ceased for Ave minutes
at $50, the hour of interment in Can
ton.
Silently, mournfully. and in thous-
ands OF cases tearfully, the citizens Of
every trade, type and color from the
richest to the poorest. of every creed
and nationality. all. from the Oldest
person trembling with age to the
youngest school pupil gathered to do
honor to the martyred President and
first Christian gentleman of our coun-
| try.
There was no confusion, no disorder,
no shouting, no loud ribaldry even
where one is wont to hear 1t. 1t was
as if a great burden of sorrow was on
| the nation, on the city, and everyone
came forth to bear 1t silently and
! bravely. Everything was done decent :
| ly, reverently and in order. The vast
| throng needed no restraining hand of
law upon IL either in the street. the
procession, at the exercises or return
ing home.
The younger children did not, posi-
| bly,, realize the full solemnitv of the
day, but-they are children. and we
have not forgotten that all were chill
| dren once.
| The speakers of the day were happy
in the character and blending of their
addresses. The music was as It should
be. Even the car bells were rung only
when absolutely necessary. 1t was an
American citizens day, and the Amer
lean citizen may well be relied upon
TO do the right thing on such an occa-
sion as was ttat of yesterday.
II was a union of hearts and hands,
of creeds and political beliefs to do
honor to a great American memory.

President Mckinley is dead. The
nation is clad in mourning and anarchy
is on trial We have met this afternoon
to unite our voices with the American
people in a last loving tribute to the
memory of our dead chieftain, to show
our loyalty to the government and
to declare by our presence and by words
that an association of men whose teach

exist in this country. We are here
to declare to the world that we loved
our President, that we are devoted TO
our free institutions. that we will not
allow an assassin or any other Great
ure to take from US our blood-bought
liberties.
"The inexpressibly sad circumstances
under which we have come together call
to mind a very ancient custom In old
en- times the custom was common
among the Greeks, and is adhered to
by them to this day. When a public
official died his body was placed upon
a funeral car, where 1t was fully expos
