Mr.. Watterson connot kill Senator
Hill with newspaper interview. It is an
unwritten Law of national politics that a
candidate who cannot carry his own State
ought not to ask the support of other
States. To thinking men Mr.. CleveIand's
failure to carry New York was death
blow to bis candidacy. Machine or no
machine, Hill has always carried his State,
and what the Democratic party wants is 8
man who can Garry New York. The reli-
ably Democratic States are going TO de-
feat Mr. Hill to elect Republican.
Mr.. Hatterson is brilliant and able, but
he is not in position to do Senator Hill
justice, and the party will not follow his
lead in Diminishing with q paragraph such
a man as Mr.. Hill has shown himself to
be. If he had never done anything but
redeem New York, that entities hin to the
gratitude of the Democratic party, bus he
has done great deal more than that. De
has shown himself to be An able leader
and an unfaltering Democrat, an agrees
sive politician and map who has made
successful campaigns and fewer errors sh&s
any other man Of his proninece lc this
country.
In view Of all these things the party will
not be in hurry 20 brush aside eandi-
dateswho possesses snch fortunate histo-
~ and carries with him sseh splendid
promise of victory.

GlB0VEH'S LETTER.

It Meets with Some Sharp Critlcieaa nora
the Politicians Of the National Capitol.
WAsHIxerox, D. c., March I6.-The pub
LEGATION of Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Gen'l
Bragg, of Wisconsin, in which he makes
some vague and and rather indefinite remarks
about the Presidency seeking the man,
Just at this time, while Senator Hill is
making o tour Of the South, gives ocea-
sion for considerable comment among pol
iticians here. The comments vary some
what, but the general opinion is that Mr..
Cleveland is seeking the Office instead of
the Office seeking him. If hr. Cleveland
is casaidaieyN esif prominent Demo-
cratic Congressman, "tse QsQps; thing
for him TO do is to maintain dignifed
silence instead of writing letters in answer
to those inspired by ovcr-zealous friends.
# the nomination is going to Cleveland it
is not necessary for hin 70 write letters.
He had better take Simon Gameron's aad-
vice and travel thousand miles rather
than write one letter."
Said another: Between the lines Of
Cle,eiasd's letter you can read his very
alAppghts. He inmates that tho party is
in great daagss epd should use both care
and Judgment in seAeet;ES it's candidate
In other words, Mr.. CLEVELAND enlssy2rs
to create the impression that he himself
is the only safe man to nominate. It is
quite natural for man of Ar. Oleveland's
Inflated ides Of his own importance to
think that way, bntthe Democratic mass-
es do not agree With him: Us gaant q
Dsmeerat, . genuine Jacksonian Demo
Graf, to lead W. to victory this fall. The
party has had eaasgh Of Cleveland mug
wumpery. It is better to sa$eT defeat
than to have n milk -and-water Democrat

four years reign than half dozen Repub-
lean Presidents could do"

tiill IN che SOUTH.

Senator Hiils tour through the South.
this week has been one continual ovation.
Every where he hes been accorded royal
reception by the people of the South and
has greatly strengthened himself as q
Presidential candidate in The Southern
States. There is nothing remarkable in
this. The Southern people have q fond
ness for Democracy pure and simple with
out any fthe mugwump alloy. Hill is
the embodiment of a straightout jackson
Democrat, and when he becomes known
lit is nothing but natural chat he should
hold warm place in the Southern heart.
Some Of the fruits Of this trip will be
seen at the Chicago convention. The
modest, straightforward manner in which
Hill has everywhere spoken to the South
ern people has produced a'6ne impression
and we believe that we are safe in saying
that Hill will have majority Of the
Southern delegation in the Chicago con-
vention.
GILL and Victory" is becoming more
and more the cry of the Democratic heart
throughout the country, and the convict
| ion ia growing that this will be the battle
cry of the great campaign Of 1892.

necessary to bold it, etc.

The Fire Brigade,

To the Editor of the PosT, Sir: The Big
Stone Gap Fire Brigade made very sreditao'e
display last Saturday evening. 1t is q good
thing and hope the interest in it will not lag
but will increase until we have one of the most
efficient forces on earth.
As it is, howeyer,I would recommend to peo-
pie who intend having 6res to advise the FIRE
department ofthe fact at least a tai[ an hour
before the fire is started, as think there are
very few houses in town that will stand the
strain of an even start.
After they get there they arestrictly in it
and believe they would fight like blazes, as
there are many men of nerve among them; yet
if che captains could devise some-way of max
ing the men slide up to the top Of building
and walk down instead of walking up and
sliding down as is now their practice, | think
they would fight harder, as they seem to have
acquired the art of descending very much
more rapidly than that of ascending.
They did not have full head of water Sat-
urday, but stillhad enough pressure to throw
a stream considerably higher than the Inter
mont Hotel, and they made rainbows, knocked
dog over, washed mans face and battered
in his hat with that and think that is all
they need At present, still the manager OF the
water works told me that he could turn it on
strong enough to knock 1 M m4p's teeth out and
may be he can, but ! would not ADVISE any
body to have their teeth extracted that way,
not that Ihaveany personalinterest the mat
ter, having lost ALL could afford to lose some
tine since, but really don't believe it would
be good way, and then, TOO, think the den
list in the town should be allowed fighting
chance.

Now that the Legislature has made so
appropriation for the State exhibit az the
Columbian Exposition in Chicago next
year, it is time that the counties were TAX
ing some steps towards doing their part
in making the exhibit something that
will do credit to the State. The Leg
islature has only appropriated twenty -hSe
thousand dollars. This amount is ridicul-
oasly small, but a bill providing larger
amount could not be passed owing to the
opposition OF some ignorant, narrow miad-
ed legislators inst misrepresented some
of the counties of Eastern Virginia. Wise
county ought to be among Tire foremost in
making an appropriation for her exhibit
at this great exposition. The opportunity
is ours and ne must grasp it.

TIE STATE EXPOSITION to be held in
Richmond this Fall offers q prize Of two
hundred and fifty dollars to the county in
Virginia that makes the best mineral eX-
hibit. This prize ought to be taken by
Wise county. We unquestionably have
the richest mineral county in Virginia,
and it would be good thing to show it
this Fall, and put to shame some of the
counties that are making this same claim
