Cincinnati Receives Candidate
With Parade and Music.
HAPPIEST HOME-COMING
Whole City Turns Out to Escort Him
to Brother's House Makes Hit
With Small Boy In State of
West Virgina.
CINCINNATI. June 20. It was a Joy
ous home-coming for Secretary Taft. Ar
riving in his native city at 8:10 o'clock
this morning, he was greeted at the Cen
tral Station by thousands of his long
time friends. The station was thronged
with admirers of the Republican standard-bearer,
who gave him an ethusiastic
reception.
One of the first to grasp bis hands as
he stepped from the Baltimore & Ohio
train was his brother. Charles P. Taft.
who arrived a few minutes before from
Chicago. The greeting of the brothers,
who are devoted to each other, was af
fectionately cordial. As they clasped
right hands, Charles Tart threw his. left'
over the Secretary's shoulder and gave
him a loving embrace. Both were laugh
ing as heartily as though they were boys
again.
An instant later the beaming face of
James S. Sherman, of New Y'ork, the
nominee for Vice-President, appeared in
the throng.
"Hello. Sherman," shouted Secretary
Taft, extending his hand cordially to his
running mate. "I'm mighty glad to see
you. You don't look as if you had
passed through the siege of a nominating
convention. "
"I never felt better," responded Mr.
Sherman. "We had a great conven
tion, and I take .this opportunity to say
to you that the result, so far as you are
concerned, was equally great. I want
personally to join with the country in
extending my congratulations."'
Parade to Home of Brother.
Together, behind a throng of citizens,
members of the Blaine and Stamina Re
publican Clubs, each carrying a blue
pennant bearing a likeness .of the War
Secretary, the candidates, arm in arm,
walked to the entrance of the station,
where they were received by a commit
tee from the Chamber of Commerce,
headed by Captain Thomas P. Egan,.
president of the Chamber. J. G. Schmidt,
a member of the committee, had met the
secretary on his train, about 10 miles
from the city. The general committee of
welcome on behalf of the citizens of Cin
cinnati, was headed by Colonel Leopold
Markbreit, Mayor of the city.
An Informal parade was formed on
Central avenue and, led by a band, pro
ceeded up the avenue to Fourth street,
and thence directly to the residenc of
Charls P. Taft, on Pike street. In the
first carriage were . Secretary Taft, Rep
resentative gherman. Charles P. Taft
and ex-Governor of Ohio, Myron T.
Herrick. of Cleveland.
The sidewalks were crowded with peo
ple and the windows of business houses
along the route were filled with men
and women waving flags and pennants.
The streets were fairly a blaze of blue
and Old Glory.
About the Taft residence a great
crowd had assembled, and the Secre
tary and Mr. Sherman were cheered
heartily as they alighted from the car
riage. Both bowed their acknowledg
ments, the War Secretary taking the
opportunity to shake hands with sev
eral of his old friends. Mrs. Charles P.
Taft was the first to welcome him.
He had already Inquired affectionately
into her healtn.
As Secretary Taft and his brother.
Charles P. Taft, left the carriage to en
ter the house, the band on the lawn
struck up "Home, Sweet Home."
The trip from Washington was not an
eventful one, although at several places
along the line crowds had assembled at
the stations to get a glimpse of the Re
publican candidate. A pretty incident oc
curred at Piedmont, W. Va., just before
the Secretary retired last night. W. E.
Bowen boarded the train, which stood for
a few minutes at the station. He was
accompanied by his little son, a beautiful
child of four years.
Yoh are a fine little man," declared
Mr. Taft, patting the youngster on the
head. He picked up the little lad in his
big arms, and, tossing him into the air, !
affectionately inquired:
"Won't you give me a kiss?"
The child laughed and nodded his curly
head vigorously. Mr. Taft kissed him
and then sat him down in a seat beside
him. "You have been kissed by the next
President of the United States," remarked
Mr. Bowen proudly to the child. The
little fellow looked up into the eyes of
the War Secretary, laughed joyously, and
nestled closely Into bis arms.
At all the stations in the early morning
crowds had gathered, but Secretary Taft
remained in his drawing-room. Invisible.
He was very much fatigued from his
work of the last few days, and did not
emerge from his stateroom until the train
was within the limits of Cincinnati.
Cheers for Sherman.
Prior to the arrival of the train from
Washington, the regular Big Four night
train from Chicago pulled into the de
pot with . the candidate for Vice-President,
James S. Sherman, of New York,
the gub-committee to confer with Mr.
Taft, and the family of Charles P. Taft,
one of the proudest members of the lat
ter party being Robert Taft, the collegi
an son of the Secretary, who had wit
nessed the nomination of his father at
the convention. The crowd set up a
hearty cheer when the train arrived, and
repeated it again and again as it
caught sight of Mr. Sherman, who was
recognized 7rom the published pictures,
being a stranger personally to the crowd.
A large number of Ohio and Ken
tucky delegates and visitors to the Na
tional Convention were also on the Chi
cago train and nearly all waited the ar
rival of the train from Washington. The
Queen and Crescent train pulled out Just
before the arrival of the Secretary, and
the Kentuckians missed the welcome in
the depot, but shouted tnr greetings
as the train passed in the railroad yard.
With the exception of Representative
Sherman, ex-Governor Herrick, Charles
P. Taft and Robert Taft. who drove di
rectly to the Taft residence, the Chi
cago party went to .the Hotel Sinton,
which has been selected ,as headquar
ters for Secretary Taft during the ap
proaching campaign.
In an interview before the confer
ence.. Secretary Taft said:
"This home-coming is one of the
sweetest incidents in my life. It was
wholly unexpected. I had thought I
would slip into the city without no
tice, but here, with comparatively a
moment's notice, I find scores of my
frtends present to greet me. So cordial
has been this greeting that it makes a
fellow's heart Jump Into his mouth."

Mrs. Lizzie Linhiser, of 24SH Seventh
