' The day opened early yesterday with the ;reet era *ded with people.aud the throngs creased hourly throughout the day. Ivery train through the night and foreoon brought accessions to the crowd, and bortly alter noon the W. N. Chancellor earned up to the wharf crowded with Vileon delegates. Thfl hotel lobbies wero ho crowded all sy that it was impossible to edge one'a ray through the thrones with comjrt. Candidates and their partisans were luitonholicg the newly arrived delegates, elegates were attempting to conault with ach other, and altogether the liveliest cents witnefeed in Wheeling far many a ay were enacted at every place where eople moat do congregate. The ilcLure House, being headquarters )r the committee and managers, was the entre ot interest, and the lobby there was perfect bedlam of voices all day. The *11 forms of prominent party leaders were onapicuoua even among a gathering in rhich the giants in statute are the rule and , iot the exception. Cleveland badge# wore abundant, and , Vilaon badges were frequently seen. Wilon is the only candidate who has provided lis followers with ribbons to deegnate hem, and his following therefore made a howing apparently stronger than that of he other candidates. The evening trains brought large addijonal delegations on frem tirafton, where he Second Congressional District Canvenion met. yesterday.

Several mjBterious caucuses wero held cstorday. At 5 o'clock tho delegates who ire lor anything to beat Faulkner w emb'.ed in the chamber of the Supreme }ourt of Appeal?, at the State House.

Stalnaker, Jr., Fontaine Smith, W. A. Q mrrier, j. W, St. lair and a number of othpr leaders of the opposition to Fanlkmr took prominent parts in tbo proceedings. Major W. W. Jitka"?n "stood guard at the ou'.er way." The Vanmeter men were very dubious last nitfht about the success of their princi pal. Thi'V held a similar caucus laat night :a tho Supreme Court room, to that which is spoken r.f above. About the fains gentlemen were present, It w*s addressed by eX'Sheritf Kimberly, of Ohio county, and pther distinguished e^eakers, The matter . .....a .. 'M<<1V< JLIIOI-Wimuoi gaug wants Georgn Mo IT* It, of thn /{^ul^rWhlle Vanmeter <laJ pino ior Ben Martin, of Grafton. To secure the last named lutary it is intended to form a combination of the supporters of Vanmeter, Haymond and. such of tbo Wilson men as may be induced to voto with them. Gapt, Motlatt's claim to the place is the fvct of bia recent attend* ance at the National Convention, and his ability to reproduco "patent inaidoa" of GhalrmanVila^ rulings. Thoae rulings were in marked contradistinction tosnyrnles ever before need, but they did very well at Chicago, and as this will be a much bigger convention it is hoped that they will be of service in controlling it. Said a well known city politician last nighl: "The Vanmeter men are much diecour* aged. They had hoped to get many more votei than they will get. The >Vilson men areptiil more discouraged. After the first 1 ballot the Vanmeter men will break and | nearly all of them will go to Faulkner. | Then again eom^ol Wilson's men are weak* eninganyhow andaseoonas the withdrawal of Vanmeter and Haymond comes the manacles will be removed and Faulkner wilt get four or five counties that only awaii the chance to go to him." Last eve Ling a vtry interesting caucus was'held in an upper room at Rolf's, at Iea*t it is eupp sei that it was interesting. It could not well have been otherwiee when one considers the Hat of those that were there. There was Grand Sachem Lewis Baker, Senator John E. Kenna, Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner, Ooi. W. H. Uogeman, of the 0. & 0. road; G. W. Thompson, of the unio Kiver roao; W. 8. Hensh*w, D. H. Leonard,and a /oh* other prominent Faulkner-Baker men.

Marcel'ns Marshall, of Glenville, \ who called tho Prohibition caucus, was i aaked what the "fourth party" wanted, i ' He replied: "All we aak is to have it go 8 to the people. It we do not do it we shall 1 have a turmoil all through tho campaign f There is a great dissatisfaction among the people becausa the last Legislature did not pas* the matter to the consideration cf the j people. -Nb'wi I want the convention to , Bay wnetner or not the people should paaa 1 on thia matter. i "Toe thing to allay it ib f?r tho cenvan- J tion to pB83 on the matter aad thug ?et it 8 oat of the way aa a atumbling block.

TOey did not eeetn to know jaat what to do, bat after some informal diecaa- t Bion, it-was decided to propoae in the con- c veniion the adoption ol the same reaoluLion aa that adopted at Parkeraburg on t Monday. It is as follow: "We believe the petition of the people sBofild be reapected. We therefore favor the EUbmiwion to a vote of the people of an amendment lo the conatitation of the State prohibiting the manufacture and tale of spirituous or intoxicating liquora aa i a beverage." t All tnat waa wanted waa "a man ol nerve" to present and advocate thia.

A correspondent ol the Baltimore &m wiitea from Wheeling aa follows: The meeting of the Democratic convention here on Wednesday next promises to be one of ( the moet interesting and important events , In the political history of West Virginia, j Dn It poeeibly may hinge the result of the | presidential election and the fate of ihe , Democratic ticket, Since 1S72, when Grant ( :arried the Btate a&ainat Greeley, West Vir- < {inia has been regarded aa Bafely Demo- , iratlc, In 1870 she gave Tilden 14,449 1 rotes more tban llflffB, the Greenback randidate, Cooper, receiving 1,373. In 1SS0 { 5artleld was beaten by llancocit by 11,148 * rotee, ellhough Weaver, Greenbacks, F )ol)ed V 079, the majority ol which, it Is f aid, were* drawn from Democratic soarcpe. K Lime lasi euoF.rnaioriai election (in 18S0) 0 ackeoD, Democrat, received a clear ma- * ority ol 2.700 over the aggregate vote for ? lis Republican andGreenbdukeimpatitora a CLAIMS CP tiuAl&K 8 i'MKSDS. . r( Notwithstanding these facta Mr. Blaine's a rienda are claiming that his candidacy v, aakea West Virginia doubtful. They base ej be assertion generally on the idea that rith the Republican and Greenback vote omoined Blaine can obtain high tariff otea enough to secure the six electoral A otea of the fc'Uto. They are also banking ) some extent on bia alleged popularity rith Irish voters," who form an important ej lament in portions of the State, and also . ut forth the claim that bis identification rith West Virginia's interests g-neraily h< nparta to his candidacy a strength which fa Ir. Cleveland does not pctacss. Cleve- cc mu, luoj- ntKutf| is nuie snown, wfcile Jaine is mown throughout tbe State, not nly from bis prominence in national D olitice, but hIeo from the fact that be ie a Wi ockbolder in one of the \Veet Virginia T. >al railroads. Tburman, Ibey add, was rest Virginia's choice, after Tilden, fcr the 8il emocratic nomination, and the feeling for bj leveland at best ifl only lukewarm. jn ONE OF TDK ARGUMENTS, Wi One of (he arguments meet generally te: sed in fa?or of Blaine ia that because he , ippecBtoleaBtockholder in the WeatVir- J1/ nia and Pittsburgh railroad, which is p] aening up the coal snd timber TPgiona of bt [ineral, Grant and Tucker counties, ha is fa igaged in a BDrt of mUaionar/ effort to dc avelop the material resources of the State, E, be want of force cl this reasoning is ap- jja went when it is stated lhat a^number of 00 rooiinpnt Democrate, including Hon. w: 'enryG. D;vis and tiauator Camden, of ci Teat Virginia, and Eon. Wm. H. Bir- nc cm, chairman of the Democratic National ommitteo, are or have been interested in ^ ie feame corporation, and several of them V, tuch more ecrively engaged in contribut- d? igto VVfcBt Virginia's growth and pros* 6e arity. _ of Kome color of plausibility, however, haB el: Ben given to the story by the fact that Mr. ]ji laine's closest political ally and special eti lampion, Mr. S. 15. E;.kine, who ia also G itereated in the West Virginia Central, ie hj Bon-in-law of ex-Sanator Davis. Mr. El- ei ina has naturally Bought to encourage the n, lea .of Mr. Blaine's reputed atrenKth in feet Virginia, and will no doubt strain bi /ery nerve to make what now eeema to Q! a in a large measure pure fiction a sad rallty for the Democrats. Wl TUB rUiJON MOVEMENT. M West Virginia this year is one of the 0> iber States. The election, to be held on ^ le Eecond Tuesday in October, will be a jneral State election. A Governor, two idgee of the Supreme Court, Attorneyeneral, Auditor, State Treasurer, Snperinndent ol echools and county ofijcera are ^ > be chosen. The greenbacks already ht are a partial ticket in the field. Their m t?te convention, looking to a fusion with le Republican*, nominated candidates for Pc overnor, Auditor, Treasurer and echool dt uperintendcnt, leaving to the Republicans m le naming the candidates for judges aHd m Itorney-general. Their candidate for Gov- 7s rnor, Judge Edwin Maxwell, of Harrkon lunty, is a pronounceu Kepuoiican, and as nominated in the hope tiat the Rspub- 8?. cane would indorse him, Many "leading at ^publicans, however, doubt the wiedom 86 [ selecJing him from tlie fact that, as Sa- ' reme Court judge during the reconatrucon period, he rendered himself obnoxious > a large class of voters by decisions which te: re claimed to have been extreme H id unjustifiably severe. Either eorge Sturgirs, of Monongalia, who ran for overnor in 1SS0, or Dr. Logan, of Ohio, it t0 thought, will be nominated if the.Re- tli ublieans refuse to support Maxwell. The .her candidates on the Greenback ticket fu e J. II. Iiurtt, of Ohio, Republican, for J: uditoij Spencer'"VT. Sturm, of Marion, reenbacker, for Treasurer, and J. N. Ken- f*' ill. of Ri'cbie, Greenbacker, far Snperin- ti ndent of Schools. The Greenhackera alao ropcae that an electoral ticket shall be at in the field, comisting of threa Green ickera and three Republicans. The prac:al result, if euch a ticket were elected, ould be to subtract six votes from leveland and give thftn to Blaine. It is of>tatail likely, bovever, that thepropo- ge tion will be accepted. "We Couldn't ford to go hefore tho country," Faid a " ominent Republican in conversation ith me a few days ago, "with an aoknowl- f * Iged Greenback (uaion in Wist Virginia of i the Presidential ticket" an WAIT AND 8KB. OU On the other hand some of the Green- If1 ick leaders assert that the Greenback ?to ia no longer worthy of serious considation. It has Bteadily declined since J 73, and in the Kanawha district, the seat inj the diB?lT;ction, the return of the Green- o ick leader, Henry S. Walker, to the Dem- ] iratio fold, has practically eliminated it Eo )m the contest. The Rapublicans, how- ^ >ar nUtm fnafr trYtalr.var mnv H i 3-atic gaiua from this source, they are c0, ore than counterbalanced by the diaaffec- gaj an in tha .Democratic party with the resent Slate administration, which iB eaid have become unpopular with the rmert>, owing to an attempt to enforco ie assessment of personal farm property, bich had been exempted by bo glalative enactment. To this the Bp' emocratn make rfjjinder that ie dlatfl'ection on this ecore is tri* irg, and that the lofB, if any, will be more jj0 ttjjmade up by gains due to factional [>f larrSta among the RapobHcana. Proml* m{ ?nt Democratic leaders profeee thentmcet >cfidence'in the result. Senator Kenna sertfi that Cleveland and Hendricks will ave at leaat 10,000 majority in Weat Virnia,"subject"headdp,"toauchdiacounta "a i th? Republican treasury will make, and lege, I believe, will be email. Tho talk ca aout Blajne'fl carry in? West Virginia I in ke to mean that the Republicans intend wi ) buy aa many votes as possible. I am sat- he fl?id as to the result, because ! know they br in not pnrcbase the vote of the Demccra- hi f of Weet Virginia." ht Ex-Congreesman B. F. Martin ia equally onfid?nt. UI don't bfliftve," bo says, that Blaine would poll 600 more votes in Vest Virginia than any other ordinarily trongcandidate put forward by the Reiubllcan&. I have no doubt of the result." Hon. E.
