Up to last evening, Mr. McNamee had heard nothing from Governor Aycock, to whom an invitation to be present, with his staff, was telegraphed on the pre ceeding day. The message was sent to Raleigh.

President Roosevelt arrived here tonight. There was a great crowd at the station. The president imade a brief address. The day was a more trying one than had Jbeen anticipated. Although the presi dent announced his intention to visit ftrrly one city a day, the urgent demands of the citizens of the three states through which he passed made it quite impossible for him to refuse to extend formal greetings in many towns and cities in which pe did not mean to have the train stop. The first stop after Wheeling, where he spoke on trusts, was Cambridge, O. Here he said he would defer his greetings to the people of Ohio until he again visited the state. Just as he finished he caught sight of the portrait of McKmley, held aloft by a young 'man. The sight of the' pic ture oh the anniversary of Mr. McKin ley's mortal wounding, made a deep impression on .the president, and when he spoke at Columbus, his next stop, there was a decided change in the man ner of his delivery. Ho referred to the fact that today was the anniversa- ry f McKinley's assassination, eulo gized the dead president and said it was a fitting occasion to think very solemnly on -what the country lost toy McKinley's death, and what was his ife. The president male brief remarks at Zanesville, Washington Court House, Newark, -Midland City, Cincinnati and Ludlow, Ky. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 6.

The entire party, which emtoodied Secretary Cor- telyou, secret service anen and a staff of correspondents, entered vehicles and were driven to the McOlure house, headed toy" a military toand. Throughout the entire route enthusiasm was rife, the streets toeing lined with the people from western' Pennsylvania., eastern Ohio and West Virginia At the hotel the chief executive rmet a delegation of prominent citizens of Wheeling, Intro duced toy Senator Seott. President toosevelt seemed in a very -jovial humor and joked with his newly made ac- qujaintances.

The convention which met in the court house yesterday to nominate a Citizens' ticket was one of the largest that ever assembled for such a purpose in the county. Not only was it strong numerically, tout it was representative of the toest citizenship of the county. Preceding the convention a caucus was held in the court room to give the delegates an opportunity to talk over informally the business with which the convention had to deal. This caucus was also well attended, there being few vacant seats in the court room when it was called to order. T. J. Candler was asked to preside over the conference. The transactions of the caucus were of course of a secret naure, tout two or three incidents occurred that are "too good to keep" as some would say. It would be a pity, in fact, to - withhold them from the public. - Attention was called to the fact that there were several present who had no (Continued on page seven.)
