The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1882-10-07

The following from few of our
Second District exchanges will give
our readers an idea of the strength
and popularity of our candidate.
Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson is passing
like meteor through the counties Of
this Congressional district.-Free
Press.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the most pop
ular Democrats in the District, and
will poll its full Democratic VOTE
Martinsbu,y Statesman.
He is well known all over the Dis
trict, and is just the man to heal the
sore and poll the full Democratic
strength.--South Branch Gazette.
We were going to attempt to say
something good for Wilson, our can
didate for Congress, but we can
speak of none Of his virtues not
known to our people. They know
him and will vote for him. Piedmont
Dispatch.
Mr.. Wilson's eminent fitness for
the position is acknowledged by all,
and that lie will lead the Democratic
hosts of the Second District, we have
no doubt, to final and glorious Wis
tory.-Romney Intelligencer.
Mr.. Wilson is an honorable gentle
man, though of a retiring disposition,
and if anything is better fitted for
literary pursuits or scholarly posi-
tions in educational fields, rather than
the turbulent world of politics. Mar
tinsburg independent.
The nomination Of the Hon. w. l..
Wilson by the Second District Con-
gressional convention, on the Goth,
ult., is a high compliment to that
gentleman, inasmuch as the nomina-
ton was not sought, aided or abetted
by him in any manner whatever
Wheeliag Register.
Mr.. Wilson is ripe scholar, fine
lawyer, and q christian gentleman of
spotless character. His nominations
at Piedmont assures Democratic har-
mony and success in the Second
District in the pending Congress
sional contest, which will be short,
sharp and decisive.-Hiagtcood dr.
gus.
Hon. w. L. Wilson, the Democratic
nominee for Congress, is the peer of
any man ever presented for that office.
Young, talented, honest and capable,
he fills the full measure of Jeffer-
sonian Democracy. That he will be
elected there is no doubt and that he
will reflect honor on this district there
is also no doubt.-Bdrbour Jefer-
s0aidn.
No better man could have been
named for that position and no one
that will fill the office more efficiently
and with more honor and credit to
his constituents than Mr. Wilson
He is an able lawyer, ripe scholar,
ready debater and fluent speaker
He is no mere pollution, but will
prove himself statesman such as
we had in former years, before pol
itics and legislation became so cor
rupt and corrupting Shepherds
town Register.
The Democratic Convention of the
1 oCCODA Dlobl iCU lii w IL
liam L. Wilson, Esq, of Jefferson as
candidate for Congress, did an act
of which every member of the body
may well be proud. Mr.. Wilson is a
native of Jefferson county, man of
eminent ability, and of very high
character for honesty and integrity.
In these respects we can safely say
he has no superior in the state. AS
an orator he has few if any equals,
and we are justified in saying he is
honest and capsule, and his nomina-
ton will be hailed with delight by
every Democratic voter in the dis
trict and the more they know Of him
the more warmly will they become
attached to him, for he is exceeding
ly popular with the people who know
him best. The party in this district
| is now united, harmonious and zeal
Gus, in support of their noble stand
ard bearer. He is just such man
as the people want in Congress, and
we predict his trium phant election
by sweeping majority on the 10th
VI Ton Luyte.

1t is claimed that the Democratic
party, is opposed to the Free School
System. We give below, to refute this,
what Prof. A. l.. Purinton, late Re-
publican Candidate for State Supt.,
of schools and a gentleman of high
standing, has to say on the school
question. The following is a reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Purinton be-
fore the teachers at Morgantown, land
the same adopted
ResolUed, That we hereby declare
our appreciation of the liberal and
progressive spirit manifested by our
last Legislature in its dealings with
the school law of the State and are
rejoiced at its apparent determine
tion to advance our school system, to
an equal rank with those of other
States.
Prof. Purinton is good authority.
Will the Demagogues say he lied?
They also howl about the reassess-
