! WHEELING, Feb. 25.-The general feel
ing here Is decidedly ayerse to any
obstruction being placed In the way Of

pressing their belief that any action
looking to the defeat of the Tribunals
verdict and a new election would not
terests OF the Democratic party, but
would work serious injury to all the in
terests OF the country. The only coun-
tenance given to the plan of new elec-
t1on Is furnished by a few ultra Demo-
cratic Office seekers who staked their
political fortunes on the last contest.
