ALL ARE SATISFIED
And Many Republicans Delighted
With the Ticket.
DEMOCRATS TRY TO BELI7TLE IT.

Nothing Explained by a Politician.
AGood Ticket In all Respects

When the full Republican State
Ticket was known in Wheeling there
was the usual general expression Of
opinion about its merits, by members
Of both parties. Every Republican
seen was entirely satisfied with its
makeup, and those who know the candi-
dates best were delighted. The nomin-
alton of Mr.. Davis for governor and
Mr., liver for auditor, known the night
before, were heartily approved by Re
publicans, even by those who wanted
somebody else to flll those positions on
the ticket, and every new nomination
announced on the lxrELLIeENoERs
bulletins seemed to cause greater and
greater satisfaction.
The only demur heard from a Repub-
lican was complaint or two that Ohio
county and the Pan Handle had not re.
ceiyed any OF the big plums. Several
responses were heard to this. One
prominent Republican remarked:
5Ohio county has the Congressional
nomination, and it was only fair that
any other good thing for the First dis
trict should go to the south end. Be-
aides, Mr.. Campbell's nomination for
elector will wonderfully strengthen the
Another Republican said: 81 would
have been surprised il Ohio county or
orv NJ her neirhbors had got anything
that any other section wanted. Here
Was Ohio county had candidate for
Governor, one for auditor, one for su-
nerintendent OF schools and one for at
torney general, while Brooke county
had a candidate for auditor and Mar
shall county one for attorney general.
Nobody could do really effective work
for one of these without antagoniztng
all the others. II the Pan Handle had
united on any one Of these offices and
pushed her man for it, she could have
rot it easily"
Mr.. 7. S. Riley, Democratic candidate
for attorney general, on whose nomina-
tion there was such kicking among
Ohio county Democrats, was quoted
Yesterday as saying the Republican
ticket was the weakest that could have
been chosen. An equally prominent
Democrat stopped young lady on the
street, showed her list OF names OF the
candidates and proceeded to descant on
tho weakness OF each to an auditor who
probably cared as little who were the
Republican nominees as she did who
was king OF Dahomy.
Another Democrat, and probably q
wiser one, said to one OF those who were
Cleefully belittling the Huntington
ticket: "Don't you imagine we are go
ing to have any dress parade campaign.
/ know I'LL those nominees but two,
and they are as bard men to beat as
they could have chosen"
Most Republicans had their favorites
among the nominees. Some thought
Mr.. Davis the strongest, some MIR.
Hyer, others Mr.. Miller. But no Re-
publican was heard to express an
opinion. that man on the ticket was
weak. 1t is recognized as good, even,
deserving ticket, and every Wheeling
Republican is for 1t enthusiastically.
At fifteen minutes past twelve o'clock
last night 8 special train full OF dele
gates arrived on the Ohio River road,
having made the run from Huntington
in exactly eight hours, but this includ-
ed an hours stop at Parkersburg for
supper.
Eight cars started from Huntington
and came to Petersburg, but two
coaches brought the delegates from
thcre to Wheeling and way points. On
the front car was an immense streamer
bearing the words, Harrison and
Reid" From Parkersburg to Wheel
ing the train made the run from FIVE
minutes of ten to a quarter past twelve,
which was certainly good run.
The first thing the delegates said when
they dtsembarked from the train was.
"Hurrah for Davis" There was not
kicker in the crowd, and the delegates
said there was not one in the conVen-
ton. They spoke highly Of the make
up Of the convention, which Mr.. Elkins
said was the best he ever saw,
