made no special plans for the celebra-
ton of the day. beyond the usual rou-
tire Of his busy life.
He was seated on the veranda of his
handsome residence at Echo Point
about 1880 last evening, when he was
taken completely by surprise by the
unexpected visit by party Of his gen.
tlemen friends. 1t was not long until
explanations We're given, and Mr.. OFT
was made the recipient of hearty con-
gratulations. When he realized that
it was a peaceful invasion, he surrend-
cred with Characteristic grace, and
proved a very entertaining host. After
several hours spent in social conversa-
ton, the guests were seated to a de-
lectable spread. The Wheeling guests
returned to the city on the last w. &

the First and Second Wards.

Yesterday being Saturday, the sena-
torial candidates and their managers
claimed at least half holiday from
their labors of figuring Up the results
Of the first, second and an indefinite
number of succeeding ballots in the leg
islature. Instead, they were engaged
in their business ayocations. Judge
King and his manager, Judge Burton,
We're busy in their law office, drawing
complaints, answers. briefs and other
instruments incidental to an extensive
law practice. Both seemed entirely Cd
livious to any such thing as a sena-
toriaI campaign.
Mr.. McCune was not in his Office, but
was attending to his private business
affairs.
Judge Powers, like Judge King, was
immersed in his law affairs, and Mr..
Nebeker wasn't visible in the usual
haunts of the politicians f. S. Harris
in the early part of the day, found time
to do some missionary work on behalf
of Mr.. McCune among the few mem
bers of the legislature that were to De
found. He has not yet fixed on any
place for headquarters, but when he
does so viii probably choose the
&nutsford hotel.
Early IS it is in the campaign to

VINO have already figured out how each
candidate will stand on the first ballot,
| and although that, even if correct,
would be little indication of the ulti-
mate result, it is of more or less inter-
est as indicating at least the opinion
! of several individuals who claim 10
! know something about the matter Mr..
McCune, it is claimed, viii be strong in
/ the southern counties, and on the first
joint ballot will have, one estimate
says, nine votes. The same guesser
| places Powers at eight; King at eleven;
! Nebeker, three; Cannon thirteen;
Richards, eleven; John Henry Smith,
or some other gold Republican, eight,
on the first joint ballot.
1t VIII be noticed that in this esti-
mate Cannon is high man, but it is
claimed he will poll his outside strength
at the first blush. and that there are
no circumstances under which he can
gain another vote, and that seine of
those will only go to him as a compli-
ment.
After a few ballots Cannon's vote
will dwindle down to about seven or
eight, and Nebeker will go up to prob
Henry Smith will hold their own. Neb-
el1er viii be the first to retire, and
Powers will thereby get a boost. Rich
ards, the guesser says, will lose, and
his supporters viii go to McCune and
King. The contest will resolve itself
down to McCune, King and Powers,
any ot whom may be chosen, unless
the adherents of each are so stubborn
that they won't change, in which event
a. dark horse may possibly get the
/ prige or a reversion to Nebeker or
Richards may at that late stare land
either of them. Another guesser "iyes
King a much larger vote on the lrst
ballot, placing it as high as twenty.
The above estimates are simply street
gossip, and are given solely as such.
