BIG CROWD !.
Attends the Opening of the
Republican Campaign
in Wheeling.

WHEELING, Sept 2s.-With a de-
gree of enthusiasm that has seldom
been equalled, the Ohio county Re-
publican campaign was auspiciously
opened last night at the Carroll club
auditorium. The big hall was COM
fortably filled throughout the evening,
and at all times there was an attend
ance of over six hundred voters. The
three principal speakers of the even
ing, Senator Nathan Bay Scott, Con-
gresham Joseph H. Gaines and Hon.
Charles E. Carrigan, presented the
questions of the hour with lucid
e1oqpence that held the eager atten-
ton of their hearers and brought
forth great bursts OF spontaneous ap-
plause. The effort OF Congressman
Gaines was an especially mastery
one, and his presentation of the all
important tariff question was such
that even a child could understand the
principles involved, while it showed
an appreciation and thorough grasp
of the details OF the subject. 1t is
safe to say that no audience in the
country has ever had the vital prin-
ciples of protective and revenue tariff
depicted In such a vivid and thorough
ly convincing manner.

EXCURSIONISTS TAKE SHIP
Chamber of Commerce Members Be-
gin Two Days Outing.
They VIII Visit Old Point, Cape
Henry, and City OF
Norfolk.

Members Of the Chamber Of Com
merce. 115 strong, left the city last
evening on the steamer Southland Of
the Washington and Norfolk Steam
boat Company for a two days outing
at the foot Of the Bay.
Daniel J. Callahan. representing the
company. was at the wharf 10 extend
a greeting to the excursionists as they
went aboard. and employees Of the
company looked after wraps and bag
gage and attended TO the comfort Of
all 1t was a very genial company
that started on the outing. and rumor
has IL that carefully slowed away IN
convenient travelling cases were all the
accessories for special enjoyment Of
the party after the shades of night
had fallen and sitting on deck had
ceased to be a delight.
1t was also rumored around the dock
before the boat started that the particu-
larly pleasant look upon the face OF Isaac
Cans was due to the fact that he had laid
in a ne wstoc1 Of stories with which to
entertain his friends on the forward deck
during the first lap Of the journey.
Some said songs were said to be wait
ing the glow or twilight, and the steward
declared that without doubt the supply
Of cigars would hold out, as he had had
one experience with the Chamber of Com
merce in past years.
Several ladies accompanied the party
this year. which fact. it was thought
might have a restraining influence upon
some Of the more jOvial members Of the
excursion, and possibly enable certain Of
the older and more dignified business
men 10 enjoy a little more quiet than
was allowed them on previous excur-
sions

day announced the following new mem
bers of the Chamber, elected at a ses-
sion Of the committee.

Peaks Island combines more OF the at

judged by the number OF its visitors is
any proof Of this. II is easily entitled TO
be called the queen of Casco Bay.'
