THE BOYS IN Blue.

Holiday Post had made such efficient
preparations for the decoration of the graves
Of the BOYS in blue, that the loving work
was quickly done. Committees Of ladies
and gentlemen visited each OF the various
cemeteries and, following the flags, placed
flowers on the graves. The. practice was
never so general as this time Not onI
was every soldiers grave decorated, bit in
places every grave had its tribute of flo verS.
Indeed, the custom of decorating only
soldier graves seems to be giving way to
that ofplacing flowers, on this day, on al
graves, and the custom is beautiful one.

the Day.

When Wheeling gives up her hundreds
and her thousands to the streets, and has
those streets gorgeous with bunting decora-
tons, the sight is a pleasant one to the eye.
Such vision might have been seen in
Wheeling at any time, Yesterday, for the
city was CAV with flags bright with flowers
and lively with the throngs of never-quiet
people. Hundreds from the country side
Joined their city cousins and assisted in
memorializing the day SEE apart. Business
of all kinds was suspended in response to
Mavor Miller proclamation. The day was
an entire success, though not as noteworthy
as the same occasion last year, as then
the Monumeu was dedicated.
Decorating the Graves.
The morning was given up TO the de-
corating OF the soldiers graves Holiday
Post had taken charge of the Federal graves
and the ContederateS were dressed by
volunteer committee. For the latter, most
Of the credit is due Martin Thornton, who
led the movement last year also, in face OF
some little adverse opinion When they
went out, last year, they decorated two or
three Federal graves which had been over
looked ana this completely won over any
obiector This time, the general public
was anxious to have all graves without re-
gard to side of service, dressed alike.

Yesterday morning and made the toIr Otthe

Confederates had been previously marked
and no time was lost in finding and deco
rating them. The committee had been
abundantly prepared with flowers AMI nea;
and handsome boquet was laid on each
grave At Mt. Wood Greenwood, PENN

a number of gra es were dressed, but al

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sup to O'Clock
p. m. to-day neither the Democrats nor

has received any authenticated informa-
ton as to the result in the doubtful
states. The air is full Of rumors
Of reports alleged to have been
received by these committees and
various prominent ofioisls, giving
figures or claims in regard to New York,
Virginia, Connecticut &c., but careful In .
quiIy fails to discover any substantial
oasis for ahy OF these rumors,
except that Mr.. Class OF the
Republican finance committee has
received q dispatch from Richmond
which says the Democrats are claiming
1900 majority and that late returns
favor the claims. I'he Republicans Of
the state, however, the dispatch says,
still claim q majority Of from 5000 to
5000.
