The nomination of Hon. VIM. l..
Wilson in the Piedmont convention
last week was just what every one eN-
pected. In fact the delegates could
have done nothing else had they been
so disposed, for as Hon. c. ii. Scott
expressed it: "Wm. L. Wilson is
already nominated in the hearts of
the people," Mr.. Wilson has be-
come leader in Congress during his
six years of service there and his con-
stituents are proud of his achieve
ments.
IFrom the Clarke courier.l
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson was unan-
imously nominated for reelection to
Congress by the Democrats of the
second Congressional district of w
Va. The Democrats of that district
honor themselves In honoring this
able and true Democratic. Like our
own excellent Mr.. Will
son has won a national reputation by
his fearless advocacy of tariff reform.
From the Charleston Daily Star.l
The Democracy of the Second dis
trict paid a fitting tribute to Hon. w.
l.. Wilson in nominating him to sue
ceed himself in Congress, at the Pied
mont convention day before yester-
day. During his first term of office
which will expire on March 3rd, he
won for himself a national reputation
as fearless champion of the rights
Of the people, and an able expounder
of the gospel of Democracy. His
speech on the Mills tariff bill was
recognized by men of all parties and
all sections, as being one of the ablest
and most convincing efforts ever de-
livered in tue house of representa-
tives, and his constituents evidently
recognize him as the right man for
the place. That he will be elected
goes without saying.
from the Fairmont Index.l
Mr.. Wilson has won honors for
himself and his constituents during
his six years service in the House
of Representatives,. and his people
are proud of his achievements.
His nomination at Piedmont for a
fourth term was made with manifes-
tations of hearty enthusiasm, aud the
voters Oh Tue StCOnu "eSG virginia
District may be depended upon to
ratify it at the polls on the 9th day
of November next by his triumphant
election.
From the Hsgerstown MALL
We earnestly congratulate the De-
mocracy of our sister district in West
Virginia, upon the denomination of
their present Representative in Con-
gress-the Hon. WIN. L. Wilson, of
jefferson county. Mr.. Wilson is not
only an accomplished gentleman,
but sound statesman, whose recorS.
places him in the very first rank upon
the floor of the House.
A dispatch from Piedmont, dated
July 80, says: Tonight the CIeve-
land & Thurman club met and made
arrangements to organize II marching
club. The Democrats here are enthus-
iastic Mt Wilson's nomination aud
have gone to work with will. Hav-
ing been victorious in 1884, they know
they can elect their ticket this fall
and will work the harder.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition Of the surplus in
the U. S. Treasury engages the at
tention of our Statesmen, but n more
vital question has our attention, and
that is the reduction of the surplus
Consumptives. Since the discovery
and introduction of Dr..King's New

has been a marked decrease in the
mortality from this dreadful disease,
and it is possible to still further re-

DUST Beyond.

Past the fragrant clover-felds.
Past the forest with their yields
or dark verdure, resting eyes
That are worn with reading wise
Past the blue hills, barriers dear
Twixt the hopes beyond and here,
Is place Gt must be SOY
Whittier it is good to go.
For long for 1t betimes
OF morning, in my rhymes;
. And the eye-light finds me still
Looking, longing, 'gainst my will.
1t is always just beyond
What see, and should wand
Touch mine eyes, grown strangely disri,
They might pierce the mountain rim.
And discover yonder spot,
That Is sweet, but travel not,
Yet, dim-visioned, 1 am sure,
Whatsoever I endure
Bad and sad, that far away
Past the beauties of the day,
AS I see them stretched and dumb,
Is the land of Sweet-to-Come.
This is gladder far and fair:
just beyond the mountains there,
Just beyond the dimpled lea,
just beyond the silver sea,
Just beyond for me and thee!
