An Aggressive Canvass.
WASHINGTON Oct. g. There is no Doubt
that the Democratic managers in West Vir-
ginia are scared. During the last two weeks
they have been dinning into the ears of the
National Committee the Macedonian cry,
Come over and help us!" At ia conference
a few days ago in Washington they sue
ceeded in obtaining the presence of ex-
Senators Davis and Camden and upon that
they built high hopes. But it seems that
both Davis and Camden are opposed to the
Dark Lantern" bill as an article of Demo-
cratic faith and, moreover that they are |
not specially anxious to perpetuate the |
kenna-Faulkner free trade regime which |
proposes to chain West Virginia. with her |
vast mineral and timber and rapidly grow |
ing manufacturing interests, to the free-trade |
chariot.
Congressman Wilson, who is member of
the ways and means committee, was in
Town to-day. He swallowed the free trade
OIL without wlnking, and supported it in a
speech with all its attacks on the interests
and Industries of his own State as well of
the country. He admits that the fight is a
hard one but declares that there will be a
gain of one Democratic Congressman in
west Virginia and that the State will give
Cleveland 6,000 majority. Mr.. Wilson does
not believe the assertion, but it is only
necessary that the Republicans should keep
up the fight in order to win. Information re-
celved here from trustworthy sources shows
tnat General Golf is making a magnificent
canvass and that the prospect of Republican
success is fair, If the present aggressive
campaign can be pushed until the first Tues
day IN November. All the information re-
celved here indicates that the Republicans
are gaining on account of the tariff issue in
the agricultural counties as we'll as in the |
State.
