(Jen Shatter la not as stout as the | yellow journals have pictured him. i The electrical decoration on the Dyer hulldiug showed up well last night. The newspaper representatives who were hrre are a clever set of scribes. Major Wither's Vets never appeared to better advantage than on yesterday. The decorations at the Commercial Club were elegant. The rei-eption the same. The Old Reliable brought the Pres ident front Maron on time to the min ute. Kvery one Is chnrmpd with Mrs. Mc- Kinley. Her sweet smile caught the crowd. A section of the President’s car was a perfect conservatory, so many flow ers were In there. The ovation given General Wheeler by (lie Confederate Veterans was even greater than expected. Gen. Shatter's ovation was not so great as Wheeler's, but then he is not a Confederate veteran. The Southern road never missed a minute In keeping the schedule of the President's train on the entire trip. Postmaster Stallings’ idea in bring ing the President here has proven that tie knew what he was talking about. ‘T passed today near the spot where I was horn,’’ said Gen. Wheeler to a friend Just before the train left the city. The presidential train was a verita ble palace on wheels. The President's coach was Ihe acme of comfort and elegance. , A number of people followed the President’s train almost to the river bridge, shaking hands with McKinley from the rear platform. One of the best decorated houses In llie city was Postmaster Stallings’ resi dence on lower Broad street. A large picture of the President was among the decorations. Mr. McKinley re marked on the beauty of the decora tions. Capt. Randolph Ridgelcy, who was standing Ip a haloony when Gen.
