RECEIVING II RETURNS.
Wheeling enjoyed a Democratic night. 1t
vas not for the most part made up OF that
mnultuous cheering and rampant bowling
that has characterized Republican rejoicing.
but the great heart of the Democracy Of
Wheeling received the Jews with a deep
ceiling of sladnesS-a great JOY too deep for
sxpresSiop. Men grasped each others
banda and squeezed them with tears in
their eyes, The great party Of corruption
had been overthrown and q light dswned in
the east as though Puyi;y's own cherub wing
ass spreading over us in anticipation OF
March /.
At dusk the crowds began to assemble
\gt the several places where returns were 10
De received and in two hours Republican
faces began to lengthen visibly. The
largest crowd gathered in front Of the Reg
SSrrR office and shrieked for joy when
Tue very first returns indicated
gains in New York. As it
gradually became certain the
great Empire State had swung into line for
Cleveland, the cheering was hearty and en-
thuSiastic. New Jersey and Connecticut
we're yociferously cheered, while steady
gains in the South provoked the widest en-
thUsiasm.
/. BECOMING CERTAIN.
The returns from New York began to
v~acillate and ardor was dampened, but
when first Jones and then German tele,
graphed New York, New Jersey aud Con-
~uecticut were sure for Cleveland, enthusi-
a$m knew no bounds and the great crowd
eheeFed itself hoarse.
Ii was an ell night crowd and stayed in
its place blocking the street from building
70 building and occasionally sending out a
cheer that might have been heard to
BllAire. Nothing could move i,
and perhaps it is standing there
sLeesing yet. Republican faces heightened
slowly but surely as the night on, and one
by n they disappeared to drown sorrow in
s'eep in the silence OF their own chnmbcrs.
