Depends on what type of wire, the length of the conduit, and the diameter of the conduit.
If the diameter is large enough, use an electrician's snake and push this through the conduit first. Then from the other end, hook one or two wires to the snake, wrap with some electrical tape, and if you have more wires then tape on additional pairs a few inches apart. This will create a very shallow "cone" of electrical tape. Grease up the cone with some vaseline and pull it through.
Other tips might be to include a pullstring along with the wires just in case you need to pull more wires later. Better tip is to pull extra wires in the first place for future use. Another tip is not to pull your snake/wires through more than 360 degrees of shallow elbow curves at one time, and probably not more than 1 or 2 sharp elbows at one time. The more curves/elbows in your path, you might have to snake your wires through in sections.

In addition to using a "snake", if it's a tight pull, lightly lubricate the cable with some lotion as it's fed through. It'll keep the cable from getting torn up when going through fittings.
