Virginia free press. (Charlestown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1832-1916, 1888-09-27

To break the force of the great speeches
our Congressman Wilson has been making
before immense audiences North, South,
East and West, the Republicans are driven,
i'm their desperation, to misrepresentation OF
the boldest character The latest is state
ment of one James A. Campbell, President
of a window glass workers union, through
a Piusburg paper and shamelessly repro
duced and paraded by the Wheeling hfel'
Fqmcs-, that Hon. VIM. L. Wilson and
Congressman Bynum told Campbell that
SIS a month was good wages" The matter
having Jlen called to the attention of Mr..
Wilson by the Wheeling Register editor,
Mr.. Wilson responded as follows:
WASHINGTON. d. c., September 49,
Re1iar. lTbeel1,7, Is. lG.,
Campbelrs statement is q bOttomless he.
Neither Mr. Bynum nor myself ever said To
him OF TO any one else, that fifteen dollars
month was good WAGES, or anything that could
De twisted into such q statement. No more
malicious or thorough illsehOod will be started
iu this campaign. Bynum Is IN Indiana.

The people of this county are divided on
many questions. but they are virtually unanl-
mons AGAINST the free-pass bribery and in ia
vor of the law 20 prevent railroad managers
from discriminating between shippers they
are also unanimous for the law 70 equahze
taxation bv assessing the commercial property
which now escapes Everybody admits that
these three laws would carry at the polls ~
votes TO one.-West Virginia Democrat.
We reckon the man who received two
thirds of the vote at the Primary and was
subsequently, unanimously nominated by
convention composed of farmers, mechanics,
laboring men, tradesmen and professional
men who honestly represented all the in
dustrial classes, and who will receive 81
per cent. Of his party vote at the general e.
lection. can be trusted to faithfully legis-
late for the people. Maj. Charley Knott Is
sound ON all questions involving the true
interests of our people, and We honor him
for not permitting one who is presumed to
be a hired ally of the Republican party to
impertinently catechize him.
The Cleveland and Thurman Club of Shep-
herdst0wn now has SOP members enrolled

That's good continue to enroll 'em until
the god of day goes down beyond the west
eru hills on the 9th of November. 1t does
not give much encouragement, however, to
the Republican ally, the IIisf Virginia De-
m0oat which is seeking for an Independ-
eut candidate i'm the Shepherdstown yicini-
ty against the regular democratic candidate.
Mason is eager to find somebody to hold
his clothes whilst he stones the nominee
Democrats earnest i'm a desire to renew the
term of President Cleveland don't mean to
assist in the election of a legislature that
win imperu democratic ascendaucy in the
United States Senate and handicap Prcsi-
dent Clcyeiaud's administration.
Too much Blaine I'm this campaign, says the
great majority of the Republican party. Who

As Blaine would be the Premier of the
Republican administration in the event of
Harrisou's election, the prospect pleases,
doesn't it, Who wants an administration
of this government by Harrison with Blaine
the controlling spirit? The Gazette AYERS
he would do more than kill the body
would prostitute the SOUL! That is stall

The following complimentary notice of
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, clipped from am East

The Charle>towu Democrat is doingall in

Knott however, is perfectly satisfactory to
the Grangers and the farmers generally, and
they are endorsing his candidacy irrespec-
