GREAT INTEREST.


The interest manifested all day yes
terday. and during very considerable
portion Of last night, in the election to
take place to-day, has not often been
surpassed in Wheeling, even during a
Presidential year. National issues have
been so sharply drawn during the pres
ent campaign, and the attention OF the
voters has been so riveted upon the COM
manding importance of the questions
presented for their decision, that the
presence OF the names of Presidential
candidates upon the tickets could have
added little TO the popular concern which
was everywhere manifested during the
day. and il Is altogether likely that when
the ballots are counted tonight, it will
be found that the city of Wheeling and
the county OF Ohio have cast the largest
vote in all their history. From an early
hour in the morning until midnight and
after last night, the active politicians OF
both parties, and in addition 10 that
class, quite number Of people who or
dinarily take but a moderate interest in
matters political, could be seen about
the streets, cOngregated in the City
Hall and Court House, about the hotels,
in the saloons, and at the newspaper
offices. earnestly discussing the present
situation and the probable outcome, and
there was perpetual buzz OF converse
ton as TO the candidates, the issues, the
qualifications of voters, general and par
ticnlar, and all and singular the matters
pertaining to an expression of opinion
by the people through the franchise.
This popular concern in the election was
perhaps. more thoroughly shown about
the Court House and City Hall, than at
any other one point in the city. Dur
ing almost the entire day, but particu-
larry in the afternoon, and last evening
up 10 nine o'clock, there was an ever
changing throng OF people. circling
round the corridors, and in and out OF
the Offices. and some Of the talleSt kind of
political manRuvering was done by both
sides 10 the pending controversy. Ward
and district workers were everywhere,
counseliug and advising; voters were
getting pointers, candidates for citizen
ship were looking after their naturaliza-
tion papers, and candidates were max
ing friends and doing themselves all the
good possible. Red-hot arguments were
going on everywhere, and upon several
occasions money was pulled ont and bets
made that certain candidates would be
successful.

the entire afternoon, and up to nine

Judge Campbell adjourned his Court |
lust before nine o'clock last night, and |
i'm doing so, announced that another
special term would be held to-day, COM |
mencing at nine o'clock, and it is likely /
that about twenty-five or thirty more |
papers viii be taken out during the 1
day.
or the number of citizens admitted |
yesterday, nineteen were republicans |
and twenty-Seyen Democrats. During |
the day Judge Campbell made two de- |
ciSions of considerable importance. One |
was that the County Court was not 4
Court Of record. and that first papers
granted by IL would not BE- taken In the /
Circuit Court. and the other was that
an affidavit was not sufficient 20 prove
the citizenship of an applicant. Among
the papers granted were several to per-
sons who had voted two Years ago, and
one man obtained his papers who had
been a resident Of this country for
forty-three years. and had voted many
a time and oft. Several also took out
papers who had lost those previously
held. or were afraid that there might be
some objection 10 their voting because
perhaps papers taken out by a father
years Az. could mol be found. Some OF
the scenes, rs usual upon occasions Of
this sort, were quite funny. For in
stance, one applicant, when sworn, said
this country was governed by 4 King,
but ne got bis papers all the same. An
other, iaSt evening, did not know
We were ruled by President
or a Gar.
