GENERAL NOTES AND COMMENTS

The work of the campaign, as far a.
meetings, and parade', and all thatsort o
thing is concerned, is over.
True, there will, tere and there, %
meeting tomorrow, to close up the engage
ments of certain speakers, but as a rule TO-
day and Monday will he devoted to cam
paign labors of q sort which is not calcu'
! lated to attract the attention of the general
public, while it counts for great deal IN
the final result.
The orators who for the plss six or eight
weeks have been declaiming from every
stage in the cities and towns, and from
every stump in the agricultural regions
hgye left for their several homes, anxious
to be in their respective counties srd dis
tricts on Tuesday; and voters whose usual
avocations take them away from their le-
gal place of residence, are investing in rail
road tickets and hurryiDg 10 the dspOts, in
order to have an opportunity to give ex-
preston 10 their sentlmenlS'
At least that was what was going on
ysstel day, and it explained the appearance
in town Of q number Of Wheeling voters,
who came in from Pittsburg, and Wash
ington City, and Findlsy, and Foatoria,
O., and many other points. More will
come today, and more still tomorrow,
while others will not arrive until election
day, unable to remain longer away from
their business.
Yesterday the whole city YVES in q sort
of stew over the impending contest. Ru-
mors were flying thick and fast, partaking,
as they went, of every imaginable shape
and hue. Crooked tickets turned up in
the most unexpected places, and in the
most unexpected forms, roorbachs as nu-
merous as the hairs of ones head were
scattered abroad, assurances of tie most
damsgipg nature CONCERNING candidst Is
were Tesailed from the corners Of the
streets, and bets were made, the last in
stsllmenis of previous wagers put up, and
svsry thing was lively.
To day it will be very much the same
way, and tom orrow it viii be a great deal
more 50. a
There were many amusing things, and
some that were of o very serious nature.
Among these latter was the report brought
into the city that the Democratic poe at
Pleasant Valley, Marshall county, had
been cut down by Republicans and the nag
upon it destroyed. The authors Of this
piscs of vandalism could not be sscsr-
tanned, but the pole was set up again and
. guard put over it.
In view of the fact that the Republican
suthoriti are delugirg the msils with
letters containirg tbs Augustus Pollock and
ether like st,ekers, to be piled to tickets
e be votei Tuesday, as referred to st some
yscgth in q cnmmunic alton printed in yes
terlay's REGISTER, it isof the utmost I'm
non snce that Democrats have proper
idea Of the mis- chief which may arise from
the uss of these Republican auxiliaries.
Sectiso 10 of Chapter OF the Code says:
"Ifsny S,allot be found 10 contain more
