this connection the name Of James ID.

mentioned. In our opinion The selection
will oe 1irst-claSs one, for if the district

Interests of the whole people are concerned

his experience and success before the sew

the past ten years has placed him in Il
position to be of immense benefit TO the

has the reputation among those who know

E- Hon. T.. WILLIS WILSON IN A FIST
IcUrF.-A regular fistieuA took place be-
tween Speaker Wilson and Attorney
eral Watts, al Charleston, kanawha coun-
", on Thursday of last week. y Charles
ION correspondent TO the Wheeling Lead
er says
A GOODNESS has existed between these
two gentlemen ever since the Martins
burg Convention i'm 1880, at which time
Waits beat Wilson for the nomination for
Attorney General. Persons who knew
them both have been anticipating a per-
sonal collision ever since, and on last sat
urday il came. A Democratic primary
convention bad been called to meet on
that day for the purpose of sending dele
yutes to the Congressional, Senatorial aud
Judicial Convention soon 10 meet. Will
son introduced resolution in regard TO
Congressman and others receiving rail-
road passes. and Watts denounced ii us "a
piece of political claptrap" aimed at Ken
ma. Wilson replied in an excited ha-
rangue, in which he said he did not in
tend to be defeated in his purpose by
political dcmagogue and claptrap politi-
cian," at the same time looking directly at
Watts and shaking his fist at him. Watts
rose from his seat and approached Wilson
in threatening manner, asking him if he
allnded TO him (Watts.) Wilson replied
by striking at Watts. The doughty Gen.
erai warded of the blow and struck his
adversary slight blow on the check.
Then, eager rs the W.T. horse in Job, ''who
smelleth the battle from afar, and to the
sound Of the trumprt saith Ia Ina ! my
hoy l've got you now" they rushed to-
gelher, and each threw the other down
with the intention of hopping up the floor
with him, and each fellow fell on top and
would haze licked the other sonndly if he
hat not been pulled off. But he was pulled
off, and so ended for the time being, one
Of the most unseemly rows that has ever
engaged the attention of highmindeG
public officials in our State.

s,sF- The Presidents veto Of the rivel

sE The Presidents veto OF the river
and harbor bill, that appropriated twenty
millions of the public money to question
aSle purposes, seems 10 have received the
almost universal commentator every
where. The people had begun 10 realize
the Immense amount of money, which
had been vutcd away in reckless appro-
pria:ions, and they cried, Hold, enough"
The men who voted for these local appro-
priatons probably voted TO please their
Constituents and thus insure their re-elec-
ton from those particular localities which
were benefited by them. 1t was hoped
that when the President put his mark of
condemnation upon this bill IL would die
and be remanded 10 y committee for de-
cent burial. The action of Congress In
passing the bill for the prodigious steal
over tile Presidents head was stagger-
ing blow TO political wisdom and honesty
that the country cannot soon forget.
