Editors Of the IntellIgeHccr: -
GRNTLEMEN-A communication which
appeared In your issue oil the nth, pur-
porting 10 have been written at Wilson
burgh on the 14th instant, signed "Inde-
pendent" contains the following Ian
gusge: .l
Yesterday secret caucus was held
here, Of which several Of the 0amdens,
Hon. q. G. Davis, and a member or two
of the ring from Wheeling were present.
The nomination Of B. Wilson for Congress
at the EllenhOro Convention was agreed
upon and fired. Among other things
suitable candidates Tor the Legislature and
delegates to the Congressional Convention
we're arranged" II Is said the late Pub.
lie Printer, Walker, and his "employe''-
the $3.50 per month mau-are to be held
In the back ground, II possible. The vii,
5ophurg CAUCUS were unanimous in the
opinion that another Waterloo, like that
oil, August, 1879, awaits the Bourbons II
these two WORTHLESS appear favorable TO
the Gauge in "the two papers daily"
This statement IA absolutely and mali.
Ciously false. No caucus, secret or other
wise, was held, and my nomination for
Congress was not "agreed' upon or fixed,
or even discussed; nor were suitable can
didates for the Legislature arranged; nor
were several Of the concerns or any gen.
tleman here from Wheeling; nor was any
allusIon made to the late Public Printer,
Mr.. Walker, or his $3.50 per month man.
Senator Davis and Judge Camden were
here. They came upon separate matters
Of business, entirely disconnected from
politips, and, as far as l know, without
any previous understanding, ,-
Senator Davis, a member Of q coal
company now operating at this place,
came with the president Of that company;
Thos. Gunnell, Esq, Of Baltimore, and
Mr.. Muier, Of Baltimore, upon business Of
that company. Judge 0amden's coming
was connected with the trial Of o land
suit. ."- So /
Iwould not have noticed this falsehood,
. hagrant and base as 1t Is, II you had not
given It q quasi editorial endorsement by
the remark that ave are assured that the
statements made in this communication
are reliable" Respectfully,
b, WILSON.
