p plrouimans Mr.. T. L. Skinner, whig, is re-elect-

% friend writes us as follows: ....4,-f
1It Is rery certain that Mr.. Wilson would have
- elected but for the unfairness of the Wings
: ,bey strove harder against him than they would
Inst any other man in the County. He did, how
ouing to his personal worth and popularity
He bead of his party; but it is gratifying to find
uu . III who supported him are of the Republican por-
I ~. If the Whig party, and will every one endorse
!, hin again. Now, Mr.: Holden, IT may be graft
ninr To some of our friends to know who Mr.. Will
g;s He is the same Thos. Wilson who was elected
.~antv wears ago from the County of Perquimans.
Isa Republican he was returned four or FIVE years
succession receiving the highest vote ever cast in
The County. For while ne declined, but in 1888
80 altered again, and was elected by large majority,
l = he was also in 40, '42, and Al. For the last
zee years he was elected by the Whig party prin-
;nalIy, though he always had the confidence Of the
democrats, many of them voting for. him, because
I bpy believed him to be a good Republican. In
Ici5 Cols. BiggS and Outlaw the candidates for
congress in this District, when Mr.. Wilson became
aisfed that the principles and policy advocated by
/ Col. Bggs were of the right stamp, and in bold
and public manner the day of election he cast his
rte for Col. Biggs. This very much enraged the
Thigs-so much so that there were strong indica-
lions of personal violence; but Mr. Wilson still went
frward like man in his Republican course. On
the 10th of last June he consented to run as the De-
nOcratic candidate for seat in the House of Com
uous and he has reduced a majority of 200 votes
OWN to four only. This is highly creditable to him,
rhe gives courage to do our best for Cass and
Butler go
The Democrats of aPerquimans and their gallant
andidate are indeed entitled to the thanks of their
brethren throughout the State. We hope they will
uganze Cass and Butler Club forthwith, and never
ease their efforts until their County is thoroughly
ndcemed. 49,.
