So, I am guessing there would be a separate ground wire for each individual wire?

I guess I don't know how telegraphs work completely. Was there a common wire, and several signal wires? I understand that the wires would go to different locations, or were for different reasons. When hooking up a telegraph, was it a one wire operation, or did you have to hook to a common, and then to the desired signal wire?
