CHARLEsTowN, VA, June 13.-Gov-
ernor Wilson, who has been in Jefferson
county for the past week looking after
his Senatorial fences, spoke here in the
Court House this afternoon to large
and enthusiastic audience. His speech
was mainly devoted to the political issues
of the day, but he did not forget to pay
his respects to the monopoly leaders in
his party in his usual vigorous style.
He charged them with being very recent
and very new converts to tariff or any
sort Of reform, and warned the people
against trusting such men as their lead
ers. He paid very high tribute to Col.
Dan B. Lucas and Col. R. P. Chew,
which was received with great applause.
The Governor made a good speech, at
the conclusion Of which loud calls were
made for Col. Lucas.
Col. Lucas made short but eloquent
speech on the political issues OF the day,
in which he tool the ground that the
tariff plank in the st. Louis platform
meant u tariff for revenue only. He
told his hearers that the people Of JEFF
ferson would hear from him again later
on in the campaign. There is IN almost
universal sentiment in the county in
favor Of sending Lucas and Chew back
to the Legislature, Chew will most
likely run for the State Senate. Lucas
has formally announced himself as n
candidate for House OF Delegates.
