Tremendous Interest Manifested, but a
Very Quiet Election.

Tremendous Interest Manifested, but a
Very Quiet Election.
There has seldom been as interesting,
and at the same time as quiet, an cleo
rion hereabOutS as that taking place in
Wheeling and Ohio county, yesterday.
From the opening Of the polls at seven
o'clock until the close at twenty minutes
past five, the work done by candidates,
party managers aud ward and district
huStlerS was, in many instances, unpre-
cedented, but with all this good order
was all but universal, the only breach
of the pcace-and that amounting to
litlle-taking place near the Centre dis
trict polling place just before noon, the
police soon disposed Of this matter, and
henceforth all was QuietneSS. At several
Of the other polling placeS-at the
Market house, Union and Webster, there
were several wordy wars among excited
workers. but the disturbances, If they
may be called such, at no time went be-
yOnd words, aud created scarcely 4 ruilie
ON the generally quiet surface.
The crowds about the polling places
were very large, in every instance. At
the Second, Third, Fourth and Sixth
ward polls there were as many people as
were ever before congregated at poll
in this city. at times there being as
many as one hundred and fifty in
Twenty-fOurth street, and there were
over one hundred nearly all the time
about the City Hall and Court House,
where the Union poll was located. At
the market house. in the Second ward,
the crowd was also large all day. The
sixty foot line had been marked out
on the streets with chalk or a line Of
SawduSt, at all the polls, before voting
commenced, and in some instances the
limits were marked, in addition. by little
flags. These limits We're carefully OBJ
served, all during the day. men of both
parties uniting 10 see that the provisions
of law were strictly carried out. But
outside this circle the wire-pulling, but
tOn-hOling and importuning went on
with vim seldom seen, even in Pres
dental year. Every once in while
some one would start an argument,
which Immediately led to bluff at bet
ting, loud words and 4 wrangle, which
would draw solid mass of people as
long ~ IL lasted. but very little money
was put up under these circumstances,
and the crowd would generally break
up. and the work OF laboring with voters
would be resumed.
The poll was heavy, at most of the
city precincts, from the start. and by
noon, in many cases, two-thirds of the
vote polled IN ISIS was In the boxes,
and it was freely predicted that the vote
of the city and county would be the lar
geSt ever east. This prediction was re-
allied. at the closing of the polls, as
will De seen by the following table,
