It was rumored that there was dis? satisfaction in regard to ihe meth? od of counting the m.-jo \ when turn? ed in at night, and the committee wan asked if th< -? u < ?? > ' ? "Mii-la.ni on that account. Th< committee stated that there was nothing in the runn>r and that the uo-th -d "f receis - ing and cunting um money hrough a caahler at nl^ht was satisfactory.

The officers of th?- c -mpany agreed to the change. The committee proposed that in? spectors should Immediately notify motormen and < onduetors of any vio? lation of rules. The Impracticability of this change was discussed, and it was agreed that the Inspectors should n ?tlfy lite employes as soon as practicable, but not later than the return trip to the transfer station. This modific ttloi. was satisfactory to both the > ommtttee and the company. The representatives of the com? pany stated that they understood that an Increase of ;>ay was desired and asked what Increase the committee thought would be right. The commit? tee said that they considered that an increase of two cents per hour per man should be made. The company's representatives stat? ed thAt the company would make an agreement with the motormen and conductors for the increase of two cents per hour to begin on January 1 next and prevail for two years from that date.

'No, no; go mi," urged the crowd "Perhaps l had better make my speech as dry as possible then to counteract the effect of the rain," saggested the nominee. The QoVernOf had to make his a*ay >Ugh a Jail at Clarksburg, W. Va. to reach the speaking stand. "1 have been paid a Splendid com pliment," he told the crowd. "1 have appeared t<> you by way of the Jail, hut I escaped incarceration; I think some of toy friends hail a writ of habeas eojpu.s which enabled me to be bete." The Governor found a big turn? out everywhere, notwithstanding the drizzle of rain, which fell most of the day. He pleaded to the local Ot ngsttteenieg not to insert any more ?peechct than were originally sChedul ? d, but was only partly successful. Tb.- nominee appeared on the plat? form at all stops, however, and chat? ted and shook hands with those in the crowd nearest him. OlICO a white haired, bent idd man made his way with dithVulty to the end of the car and attempted to talk to the Governor, above the uproar of cheering. The nominee took the outstretched hand and bent his head ? lose to hear. "Governor, I'm 8;l years old," said the man. "and I've Waited til these years for you." The Governor said tonight he was very much touched by the sentiment. "It's one of the deepest compliments that has ever been paid me," he re? marked. At Wheeling the noralfl i was oud ? aPl ud ? f In hi tie ? .ad be woul I was a corner on prosperity in the country." and that he had "a very definite notion as to how the whole population >f the Cnited States should have aeeeaS to its own prosperity." He began to discuss the trusts and monopolies then, but stopped short. "1 am a little hampered/' he said. "In discussing this part of the ques? tion, because 1 have denied myself the privib ge at present of discussing anything that concerns the third party. As long as Mr. RoOOOVOlt is confined to the hoaplta] in Chicago, i shall have nothing to say about the third party.
