The Republican county convention
met at 2 p. m. yesterday in the hall of
the Central Republican club, on Market
street. 1t was harhopious and en-.
thusiastic assemblage, add composed of
as creditable representatives as any
party ever got together in Wheeling.
The fact that only one or two delegates
were absent, and they were either out
Of the city or detainediby illness, and
that there was a very good crowd OF
lOokers-on present, in spite Of the ex-

the party interest was alive.

ton, and it named a strong ticket.
