tire situation was such as to make the vas
audience simply beside itself at times and
the cheers, loud and clear, and long'con
tipued, which greeted the magic names o
Cleveland and Thurman, were rightly In
terpreted by one citizen, when he likene'
them to peans Of victory.
The campaign has been formally opsne'
in Wheeling, and from the good star
made last night, the Democracy will q
steadily on, gaining in strength and en-
thusiasm with each recurring week, unit
the close Of election day will bring then
the assurance that the party Of the peopl
has once more triumphed, and that th
country has the assurance Of four NOR
years Of an honest and economical admin
istration of public affairs.
