Mr. Wilson Is q professional oihce-h0lder'
and like all persons of that class, he Is 4
non-producer of the very class whom he APP
peals 10. He insists that every person
should have an equal chance in the race OF
life. and if sincere in that declaration why
don't he Weld the five thousand dollars a
wear which he draws from the public treas
urv. and allow some one else less favored
but equally as deserving, to support his TAM
ilv and educate his children at the public
expense? l0rgaRfora Post.
III we mistake not the Post would have
preferred Mr.. Elkius-a gentleman who has
thousands TO Mr.. Wilson's one hundred ;
and Mr. Harmau, the present Repub-
lican candidate, has ten dollars to
lIr. Wilson's one. The Posts objections to
Mr.. Wilson are puerile. Mr. Wilson is
anything else than a professional politician.
He is q professor in politics, howeyer-aud
a man of great ability and personal worth,
a fact which the Post dare not attempt to
deny. The education of his children did
not depend on Congressional payments or
peuuisites. No thanks to Mr. Hartman
for. if Mr. Hartman could have had his pro-
scriptive ideas enforced, Mr. Wilson, nor
any other lawyer or teacher in this State
could have pursued his ayocation. Test
oaths would still have been enforced.

President Harrison's western tour, with
