WASHINGTON, D. G., March o3.-Thl
Mckinley bill seems destined 10 civ,
especial satisfaction In West Virginia
One Of 1.-THE most prominent Of Jefferson
county Republicans, in speaking OF iti
provisions lately, sail that he regarded
1t as q splendid redemption Of every
promise Of the Republican party to the
people Of the country, and u practical
guarantee Of continued progress to West
Virginia. "Tho more Closely It Is studied.
the better It Is understood" said he.
"The more popular 1t will become. l
consider TINT this bill insures the con.
tinuance Of the party in power, and a
Republican majority OF at least 5000 in
West Virginia In 1890. s..
Gas to any lack OF harmony in our
ranks throughout the Eastern Pan.
Handle, which some Of tho Democratic
State papers have professed to discover,
go far rs my observation goes, and am
a constant traveller in that region, there
is absolutely nothing in such reports.
We eare in better fighting trim than we
were in 'SS, and wo did better then than
ever before. .o,s
.t. GROWING STRONGER.
"Our organization is constantly i'm
proving; the immigration is almost
solidly Republican; we have had our
full share Of patronage and the admins.
tration is everywhere popular with us.
You can look out for further reductions
in the Democratic majority in Jefferson.
We have nothing to hope from 80 far rs
the old Bourbon element, which has
always been 80 strong there, is con-
ceIned. We expect nothing from that
source. A Bourbon clings to his ante
bellum idols till death releases him.
But we have everything to gain from the
class Of people who are beginning to dis.
cover the value OF our lands and the
eligibility Of our manufacturing sites.
that stands for progress and
an increase OF values means gain for US
Jefferson county has been
u part Of the Egypt Of West Virginia in
the past; but so were Mercer, Monroe
aud Wyoming, and some Of these days
we may have surprise rtwo to offer"
- THE SECOND DISTRICT. '
"How's the Second district?" was
aaked Of another Republican hustler
from the one remaining misrepresented
portion Of West Virginia. 7s
"Well, I'll tell you one thing. Billy
Wilson had better be making his ar. |
to retire into private |
life. We've got tired Of being the only
part Of the State out in the cold. We're
going to gain the other three districts
next time. By.the-way, Mr.. Wilson was
nearer to committing political suicide
when he held out against Chicago for
The Worlds Fair than he will eyer real !
ize. Some Of the most influential OF his
constituents used very plain language
to the distinguished gentleman, and
many promise was made to see him
later. It is lucky for him that he didn't
succeed. see he is trying to remedy
former indiscretions now by doing all
he can for the Chicago bill. That's us it
should be-. But what We want is Re-
publican in that particular seat in Con-
gress, and we're going to have him."
