GOV. HENDRICKS.
The Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate at Wheeling. [Wheeling (W. Va.) telegram.] Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks arrived in the city this morning at 8:30, on a special train on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Sti Louis Road, and, after taking breakfast at his hotel, an informal reception was tendered him and Messrs. Randall and Fellows, who accompany him. Many prominent Democrats of the city and State called to pay their respects. At 11 a. m. the industrial display and parade of the marching clubs took place. It was the largest similar demonstration seen in the city during this campaign. It moved over the principal streets. The city was gayly decorated. Mr. Hendricks was repeatedly cheered along the line of march. About five thousand Brangers were in the city. This evening Col. John R. Fellows, of New York, spoke at Capitol Square to a large audience. A torchlight procession as fine as any ever seen in the city also took place this evening. Mr. Hendricks reviewed the procession from the west porch of the Capitol Building, and afterward made some brief remarks. Each club saluted the distinguished visitor as it passed.
