Description
Excerpt from The Welcome to the Hon. Albert G. Porter, Governor-Elect of Indiana, Washington, D. C: November 11 and 13, 1880
The visit of the Hon. Albert G. Porter, Governor-elect of Indiana, to the National Capital, on November 11 and 13, 1880, was an event that will be long remembered by those who witnessed it. Upon his arrival on Thursday evening, November 11, 1880, at the Baltimore and Potomac station, Mr. Porter expressed his great delight and astonishment at the great outpouring of the people who had assembled to greet and welcome him back to Washington. The local Republican Clubs in large numbers formed in procession and escorted him to the Riggs House, which was tastefully decorated in honor of the distinguished guest.
An immense crowd of people, numbering not less than five thousand, assembled on G Street, and when Governor Porter, accompanied by Hon. William Lawrence, First Comptroller of the Treasury, Deputy Fifth Auditor J. B. Mann, General R. D. Mussey, and Judges Charles Case, D. P. Holloway and J. M. Wilson, appeared on the balcony, he was heartily cheered.
