nation is received by Wheeling Demo
Gratis with the utmost qualification.
The sentiment in favor Of his nOmina-
tic7 throughout the city was overwhelm-
The respectable minority of the
lrty who believed that as matter Of
rty expediency the nominee should
We come from another State than
ew York, and thus eliminate all traces
the warm contest there, are falling
INTO line without murmur. The disap-
,ointed few have been convinced Of the
xcellency Of Mr. Cleyeland'S nOmiEa-
ton since the convention was called 20
order, and with remarkable good grace
they have bowed 20 the will of the ma
jority.
II the first Impressions Of the news
are worth anything, Mr.. Cleveland
nomination will prove 10 be very
strong one in this county. By con-
servative Republicans the nomina-
ton was conceded 90 be the best
the party could have made, and
few express the fear that 10 means the
defeat OF President Harrison. Senator
Hill had a few supporters Ia Wheeling,
and If their expressions now can be re-
lied upon es an index 20 the feeling
among Hill men in New York and 9TH
er sections the party will go 70 the polls
solidly for Cleveland iu November. The
manufacturers here do not like the
platform any more than they like the
recent discussion on the wage question.
They fear it will become entirely too
popular with the labOrlng classes, al
though another reason for their oblec-
ton TO il is assigned. Among those who
arrived home from Chicago yesterday
were ex-Sherid HaudIan, Philo hIm0er-
ly. John Waterh0uSe, Z. Copp, Dr.
Campbell, Thomas Darrah, Joseph
PAUL and T. c. Burke, Of this city, aud
Judge Mcclure, of Petersburg, Capt.
Robert Browse, Senator Camden, Judge
uyder and Geo. kelSall.
Ex-Sherif Handiau was seen by

,Iosed was amoSt memorable event,
I'd. only those on the scene can appre-
ciate the scenes that prevailed. IL can
not be told by pen or speech. / regard
4be nomination of Cleveland and Steven
son as the strongest possible ticket the
Democrats could place in the field. Cleve-
land has an along been my iavOrlte, and
10 was clear 20 my mind, on the scene at
Chicago, after circulating among the
people and hearing the various express
sions, that nothing save an unforeseen
force could prevent the nomination.
There was then, as there is more now, a
ground swell for Cleveland from one end
of the country % the other. While many
Rpprehended Gray on the other end OF
the ticket, still I believe a wiser choice
has been made. While Gray would have
been a power 10 Indiana, 10 is quite gen
orally conceded that biS influence is
confined withinthe limits of that State,
whereas that Of Stevenson is tar-reach-
ing. Stevenson will have nearly the
-Eeuse power In Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey, and many Of the other States as he
has I'm his own. l look for complete
adjustment Of all difficulties iu Iowa and
Indiana, and particularly New York,
where / believe the Democrats will unite
IN one common end 20 the election OF
Cleveland. A stronger ticket could not
have been placed in the field
City Clerk Thoner-It is a winning
ticket. In every line aud ligament OF
the two candidates there is strength.
DR.. :. l.. s. Spragg-Ii 1 were bet
ting man I would feel safe In placing
considerable money on Cleveland's car
rying New York.
IL. McKenney, well known ;hOe
drummer. Of Boston, who happened In
town Yesterday, said: The nomination
Of Cleveland fills me with delight. or
course, / am a Republican, and shall
vote for Harrison, but my satisfaction
because Of CleveIand's nomination will
be on account Of no feeling that he
would be weak candidate. The reason
for my satisfaction is that with Harri-
son and Cleveland as opposing Candi-
dates the business interests of the cOun-
try will be safe, whoever is elected. or
the two am free 20 confess that as re-
CARDS the silver question, Mr.. Cleveland
is even souuder that President Har-
rison. The latter is committed
TO the present law providing
for the monthly purchase Of
silver IL Is my opinion that, unless that
law is repealed il will not be long be-
fore gold will be at a premium. That
will scarcely happen during the cam
paign, for such an event would iniure
the administration, but it would come
next winter unless the law is repealed l
an sorry to say the Republican party
has not vet awake 10 the realization Of
the situation as regards the consequent
ces of the continued wholesale purchaS-
es OF silver by the government under
the present law. OF course, / am not
talking this openly, for have no desire
10 pose as an alarmist, but am free 10
confess that this represents my private
views"
Leo Riester-"Cleveland was my
choice from the first, and I could not
be other than satisfied. As for Steven
son. think he is as good a man as they
could have found for second place. The
ticket is a sure winner"
Justice George A. Arkle-"The ticket
suits me exactly, and I think il will be
q winner There is a lack Of enthusi-
asm among Republicans over the nOmi-
nation of Harrison, and I rather think
Cleveland can DE elected without New
York, although ] think that State will
go Democratic, as usual"
John A. Howard was a German
man, but am well satisfied with the
nominations. II is a winning ticket.
Hermann BentZ-"Cleyeland was my
choice before the convention, and l an
more than pleased with his nomination.
