Charles Burdett Hart, q ,delegate-at-
large from West Virginia, arrived hero
yesterday on his wayto Minneapolis.
Mr.. Hart, who was accompanied by J.
D. Hewitt, another delegate-at-large
from West Virginia, and \, B. Scott, the
representative Of his state in the a9tion-
al committee, is the editor OF the Wheel
ing ISTIIIIGRScER. he Is probably the
most skillful advocate OF Harrison.s
nomination that has. yet appeared IN
Chicago. Mr.. Hart !fsssasS entertaining

WHY HART Is ron HARRISON.
"where is the tiseo nominating Har-
rison, asked tho local. politician, when
We cannot elect him? He,canpot carry
Illinois" ,,i- =. NJ. I. :
Illinois, p, responded Mr., Hart, II should
blush for shame to make That admis-
sion. Any Republican candidate orghtto-
be ablo to carry lllinois. However, we
have nothing to do with Illinois politics.
If the Republicans OF Illinois arc pro-
pared to turn their state over to the
Democrats simply because the candi-
date OF their choice IS not nominated
that is their business. We are for Har-
rison because we know no can carry

To a reporter Mr.. Hart said: 1--WE
interpretth letter Of Blaine to Clark.
son to mean that he is not and vii!
not be q candidate for tho nomination.
Believing Blaine out OF the race, We are
for Harrison. lie is the strongest can
didate, unquestionably, mentioned for
tho nomination. His administration
has been satisfactory. He will poll as
many votes in West Virginia as any
man. The President has been very kind
TO West Virginia. He gave us the COM
missioner OF internal revenue; he
placed General Golf on the bench and
made Mr.. Elkins secretary OF war. Here
are three positions which o state the
sizc OF West Virginia should not expect.
We appreciate the consideration given
the state and as We believe in reciproc-
ity we are going to vote for Harrison's
nomination. The remarks OF several
men who have fed generously at the
public crib, but Who do'notyet appear
to be gorged, that only officeholders are
supporting the candidacy Of Harrison is
my excuse for stating that not one
OF the delegates from West Virginia is
an ofiiceholder, and further, as far as /
am informed, not one of them is looking
for Office. II seems Strange that Blaine
should now take into his confidence
men who in years past were his
enemies and ignore the friends who
Loyalty stood by him whenever he was
candidate. Many Of the men who are
now shouting for him were. opposed to
him when heiS6G9ht .<he7nomination
for tho presidency, and when he got it
they gave no assistance to his campaign.
Now when he declares that he does not
want the nomination, they are forcing
him TO take it. This is an anomalous
condition, and re. in-Mest Virginia do
not clearly understand II. We believe
that Mr.. Blaine was sincere when he
wrote his letter OF Withdrawal, and We
shall, therefore, vote for the nomination
of President Harrison"
