added close application to study by
the light of the candle when the toll
Of the day was done. Married al
twenty-five he began life on tract
of wild land situated on the drains
which form the headwaters of the
North Branch of the Potomac, then
an almost unbroken wilderness.
Here he had ample opportunity to
indulge his favorite pastime of hunt
ing when moe substantial and excit-
ing pursuits permitted. The region
abOunded with game, and afforded
occasions for displays of proves as
well as for the exhilaration of
the chase. Mr.. Wilson has killed
four deers and on two occasions three
bears in one day. Primarily Mr..
Wilson is farmer, tho collaterally
he is engagedin numbering and coop
ering. Essentially selfmade in all
departments of his business, ne adds
to farming considerable proficiency
in surveying, saving and black
smithing. and is thus able to adapt
himself to accommodating all the
demands of his isolated locality. In
politics Mr.. Wilson is a Republican.
This is his second term in the House
of Delegates, the only civil position
he has held. He occupies place or
the committees on Elections anC
Manufactures. He is useful mem
Der and represents his people faith
fully and ably.
HON. AUSTIN sPEICHER.
Hon. Austin Speicher is a gentle.
man of modest demeanor, but a
sound. solid, active citizen. In poll
tics Republican, he is of that quiet
class whose temperate language rare
ly provokes animosity. Hence, he
is regarded highly by all who know
him as neighbor and acquaintance,
He holds his first position, is faithful
in attending the sessions of the
House and on Committees active
and careful. Born IN Somerset coun.
ty, Pennsylvania, September 3, 1880
he removed early to that part of AL.
iegany now embraced in the county
of Garrett and received all the edu
cation afforded in that section at that
day. He is member of the Com
mittee on Fisheries and Pensions.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican. j
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 13, 1880.
The proceedings in the Kellogg
Spofford contested election case have
come to stop in the Senate. 1t now
turns out that several of the Demo-
cratic Senators refused to support
their brethren in this seat stealing
expedition. Caucuses were held as
often rs twice day, the Senators
were labored with by their fellows,
but all to no purpose ; those who be-
lieved in justice would not bulge an
inch, and so this crime will not be
put through at tqis session. Senator
Hill and others of the Committee on
Elections are very angry at the refu-
sal to support their unseatin ing resolu-
tons, and threats are made that I'M
less the Senate Democrats support in
body these resolutions, Messrs. Hill
& Co. will resign. Many worse things
could happen to the Democrats than
the resignation of these h0t-head
Senators. The attempted seating of
Spofford is so unjust that we do not
wonder that the more conservative
Democrats refuse to vote for it.
The Democrats passed their army
appropriation bill with the political
rider against troops at the polls, but
not until the Republicans had an OPP
portunity to speak their minds upon
it. For once the Democrats showed
measure of wisdom and kept their
mouths shut. They knew enough to
know they could not open them
without laundering, and they left
their seats when the Republicans ex-
posed their follies and wickedness, so
that they might dot be tempted into
injudicious remarks.
The contest for delegates to the
National Convention, in Ohio and
Illinois especially is attracting much
interest here. In OHIO the race is
pretty even between Senator Blaine
and Secretary Sherman, the Senator
thus far being a little ahead in the
number OF delegates chosen. In H.
linois the Senator friends claim that
they have so far elected one-fourth
the delegates necessary to control the
State Convention, but Gen. Grants
friends deny this. The friends OF
General Grant and Secretary Sher
man are very free to syy thet if they
cannot carry these, their own States,
they will withdraw from the contest
altogether.
1t has been charged by the friends
Of Grant and Sherman that the Ma
tional Blaine club of this city has
been sending out documents detract-
ing rom the merits of the other can
didates. Such is not the fact. The
Blaine club has never sent out doe
ument of the kind charged, and this
can be readily seen by an examina'
ton of documents on file there. The
report was circulated to injure Sena
tor Blaine before the people, but II
| fails in its object. The Blaine cluL
and not Mr.. Blaine is responsible FOL
its documents.
