a word for Colonel Wilson. It
is no 'disparagcmcnt Of the West
Virginia delegation in Congress, or
of any of the public men Of tho
State to say that among them no
ADLER and pllrer statesmen can DO
found than IIcnj. Wilson.
Going to the House five years
ago, preceded by u fine reputation
for eminent learning in the law,
Mr.. Wilson has justified the pre-.
diction and fulfilled the hopes Of
his most enthusiastic admirers.
The same high qualities which
had won his fame at the barland
as commonwealth attorney, have
been most signaIly displayed dur
ing his five years service in tho
House.
lie las won the respect Of tho
strongest and best men Of both
parties, because he possesses those
elements that devolves on II legisla-
tor. In the arlIuous work OF the
committee room he has shown not
only commcndable industry, but
that through practical knowledge
which make u given amount Of
work productive Of the most sub
stantial results.
West Virginia cannot afford to
retire such a man from public life,
and the country is not so rich in
statesmanallip as not 10 need him
where he is. In the brighter and
better era on which the Union is
about 10 enter under tho admins
tration of President Hancock, tho
Democratic party ought not to DO
deprived of the advantage Of llav-
ing our best men in Congress.
Tint the Democracy Of this dis.
trict will show their appreciation Of
this lact by handsomely rc.electing
Mr.. Wilson, I do not pcrmitmyself
to doubt. P.

fact, the following letter from his

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. LIN the circuit
court of Cook county, this morning, Judge
Moran rescinded the cr3or issued by Judge
Rogers for the appointment of 300 deputy
sheriffs. The ground of this decision is that
Republican deputies alone were appointed.
Thare seems TO % snnle ground for eppre-
hension that t2ouole Will occur at the polls
Tuesday, since the mayor has refused to
recognize any right OF supervisors of cleo
tions 20 interfere. In the proceedings of the
federal court, in Saturdays decision in the
Geisler case, it was distinctly set forth that
election supervisors have full control III cleo
tions for Representatives to Congress, and
must not be interfered with.
CHICAGO, Nov. Three hundred deputy
sheriffs, recently appointed to serve election
day, whose commissions were revoked to-
day by order of Judge Moran, were ap-
pointed as United States deputy marshals
this afternoon and sworn in tonight. The
mayor has appointed 800 special policeman
on pay, and it is believed 1 200 without pay,
in addition to the regular force of The city.
There is every indication of a close and
exciting contest in the city tomorrow for
political ascendency, and it is not likely the
resnlt of the election will be known until q
large share Of the votes have been counted.
Advices from all parts of the State show
that brilliant and vigorous campaign has
insured very full vote o-morrow.

Bad Westher Interfering With Seeding

LONDON, Nov. The Mark Lane E1press

dered wheat sowing on clay soils. The floods
in some districts caused great damage. On well
drained soils sowing has made good progress.
Threshing has been restricted by the weather.
The percentage of samples in bad condition

difficult to sell. The deliveries OF English
wheat, and the entire importation of bread
stuffs into London, show an important decline
Nevertheless trade was decidedly weaker
and prices were maintained solely by the COM
parative smallness of the present extraneous
supply, stocks being barely sufficient to meet
current needs. The millers, however, continue
confidently to expect lower rates. Trade in
foreign wheat On spot has been slow. Inquiry

except IN the fercer description, which at some

both English aud foreign, are under the in
huence of short supply, caused by the clos.
ing of Russian ports. They have advanced six
pence since Monday. Maize, despite the in
creased visible supply in the United States and
on passage was steady in consequence of scar

There were few wheat cargoes off coast, and

quota of ladies. delegation of some forty
students from the New York university,
principally of the academic department, call
ing themselves the "reserve," previous
delegation from the same institution having
forestalled them Saturday last, arrived about
II o'clock. Andrew B. Inglis, who acted as
spokesman, introduced the party to Gen.
Hancock, who replied as follows:
1 am very much pleased to have met you.
There are many of you who sre of age and
qualified to vote, and others who are ap
preaching that period. This visit shows that
you take an interest in your country's well
fare. It is customary in armies 20 have re-
serves on the field of battle, but | did lot
know that colleges also had reserves. 1t is
now rather late to talk politics, to- morrow
being the day of election, and / will there
fore content myself with leaving those of
you who can vote to do your duty at the
polls according to your various convictions.
l am pleased to sag that the most cheering
news arrives from all quarters.
Capt. John D. Bargh, formerly of the
Eighth regiment, New Jersey, who started
Goth September from Chicago to walk from
that place to Governors Island, arrived this
morning. Capt. B1rgh presented an address
from the Hancock veterans of Chicago. He
was introduced by j. Gould Warner, whom
he met on the ferry. In reply to the intro
duction Gen. Hancock said:
81 am always glad to see an old soldier of
the Second corps. You required no intro
duction to me. II [ can assist you in any
way will do So" The general then gave
directions that Capt. Burgh should be well
taken care of during his temporary stay on
the island. In reply 10 statement OF Capt.
Burgh's with regard to the prospects of the
campaign in Pennsylvania Gen. Hancock
said that in Pennsylvania as elsewhere it was
simply question as to whether the people or
office-holders should rule.

which were issued ON information of Super
