MR.. ANDERSON CONFIDENT
That Cleveland Will Carry West Virginia
by q Larger Majority Than In 1888.

That Cleveland VIII Garry West Virginia
by Larger Majority Than In 1888.
Special Telegram to the Register.
WASHINGTON, October 2.-Congress-
man John d. Anderson, of the Third
West Virginia Districst, was in the city
last week, attending meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee.
Mr.. Anderson reports politics warming
up In his State. He does not fear the
results, however, and says Cleveland
will carry West Virginia by larger
majority than he did in 1888.
"The Republicans are talking good
deal about carrying the State" said
Mr.. Anderson, "but the Democrats are
on the alert, and are ready to meet any
and all issues. Everything is in good
shape in all of the Congressional Dis
tricts, too, and in making up the roster
of the next House you can put old
West Virginia down for all four mem
berS."
There are few members of the pres
emit (Fiity-second) Congress who have
as clean a record as Mr.. Anderson. 1t
is seldom that young man in Congress
is ever taken into party councils, but
from the time Mr.. Anderson took his
seat lin December, 1880, he has been
regarded as one OF the strongest and
most competent members OF the lower
House. Upon all the important ques-
tions that have confronted the mem
bers of the Fifty-frst and Fifty-second
Congresses, Mr.. Anderson has shown
good judgment and rare executive abili-
ty. To show that his ability is reeog-
niZed by his fellow Democratic
associates, 1t is only necessary to refer
to the fact that when the last Demo
cratic canvass was organized Mr.. Alder
son was unanimously CHOSEN its perma-
nent secretary, which position he has
filed with credit to himself and his
party. He is also member OF the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee, and
Is looked upon as one of the brightest
and ablest members OF that body.
During the exciting and rather try
ing times of both the Fifty-frst and the
first session of the present Congress,
Mr. Anderson was always on the alert,
ready to render his party and his con-
stituents service. He was seldom alb
sent from his seat, and his vote is re-
corded on all important questions dis
posed of in the House.
In addition to his regular attendance
at the session of the House, Mr.. Alder
son found time to look after the In
terests of his constituents at the diff
ferent departments.
As member of the Committee on
Postoffices and Post Roads, Mr.. Alder
son secured for his district increased
postal facilities. He succeeded in hav-
lug many new postoflices and post
routes established in his district, thus
giving the residents better mail facili-
ties than they have ever had.
The credit for ventilating the corrup-
ton and mismanagemento Of the Census
Bureau is due to Mr.. Alderson's watch
fulness of the peoples money. The ex-
travagance of this Office was and Is yet
something enormous. The original APP
preparation of six millions of dollass
was exhausted long before there was
ANYTHING like correct census taken,
and uperintendent Porter had the nerve
to ask for more money to complete his
partisan work. Before approprlating
any more money Mr.. Anderson, with
the peoples interest In view, thought
the proper thing to do was to investi-
gate the leakage in Mr. Porter's office,
and he introduced the resolution In the
House that brought about the investi-
cation OF the Census Bureau. Although
the court Of inquiry has not completed
it's labors enough has been developed to
show that Mr.. Anderson was right when
he called halt on the wasteful use Of
the public money.
The people Of the Third West Vir-
ginia District are 10 be congratulated
upon having such 81 efficient and wide
awake member as Mr.. Anderson to rep
resent them in Congress. AS the Dem
ocracy of that district have again
conferred the honor of denomination
upon him, it is the duty of the whole
people of the district, as good citizens,
irrespective Of party, to re-elect Mr..
Anderson.
