As for Windy Wilson, hc is just going
on with his excellent work for the Repub--
Leans. Ills speeches arcdoinsgrcat harm
to tho State. Capital and enterprise pause
and await the issue. Up and down the
land goes the rampant dcmagouc and
dangerous communist, uttering incendia.

these words: .
"Ti1E DAY IS NOT FAR DISTANT WHEN on.

Mr.. Wilson Is not the nominee OF his
party; he is the choice only OF II corrupt
faction, who have chosen him to continue,
pcrpctuate and excuse their own unlawful
and unconstitutional performances, Mr..
Wilson was the choice OF the Bourbons,
who have burlemcd tho State with debt,
outraged the taxpayers and the press, and
invaded the school fund. lie is to DO tho

so, God help West Virginia. p
The character OF this person Wilson
may be judged by the language he uses
on the stump. 1t is that Of il brawler and
bully of-thc sand lots-a rounder OF the
slums. His speeches abound in such
epithets and phrases us 'hypocritical ras.

"Thc scoundrelly editors" "The lying
reporters" "Liars and thieves. T" Liars
or FOOLS" Scoundrelly liars" "Rascally
Radicals"
But this is small matter compared
with the utter and mendacous untrutll.
fulncss OF the man in making statements
and the evident righteousness OF his false
hoods. 3
Mr.. Wilson goes about preaching doc
trincs that mean continued "incrtncSs and
isolation" for West Virginia, that mean
insigniiicance and poverty for another
generation. rs. z,
lie iroths at tho mouth in dcnouncing
railroads and capitalists. Give anything
the name Of 4 corporation and he goes at
it with club. -
Name his dog Corporation" or "Capi-
tal' and Mr.. Wilson would kill him. III
West Virginia needs capital, needs en-
terprise, needs corporations, needs rail
roads. How much OF this sort OF thing
will Mr.. Wilson attract to the State? Al
ready the prospects under way call n
halt, and capital and enterprise stand
back TO await the issue OF October II.
All the liberal and progressive element
OF the State, the element that has done the
most to build up the State-the Camdens,
the Thompsons, the Davises, the Kennas,
the Register, &c-all the more advanced,
liberal and philosophical OF the Bourbon
party, protested against the nomination OF
Mr.. Wilson, and, in the campaign, are
cold and unfriendly. From patriotic
and anu business view not one OF them
wants to see Mr.. Wilson elected.
A Democrat, perhaps the most powerful
one in the State, said to me that Mr.. vii
sons election would, in a business point OF
view, be calamity to the State; and a
noted Democrat Of Parkersburg told me
he believed Mr.. Wilson would be defeated.
and that, us for himself, be hoped he
would. ~
Proposed enterprises in the North and
South are held in allegiance awaiting the
verdict OF the people Of West Virginia in
October. Men and companies stand at
tho door awaiting to enter in; capital
knocks and awaits a reply. 1t must come
for thcweal or woe Of the State on the l4tll
OF next month. r.p,M.
