And then the applause that
drowned his voice was probably
heard two or three squares away.
1t was spontaneous and genuine
tribute TO one of Americas greatest
statesmen, Congressman William L.
Wilson, whom every West Virginian
is proud of. That the sentiment of
his great audience was appreciated
and Endorsed by Col. Fellows was
shown by his words when lie was able
TO make himselfagain heard.
''Itis," said he, ''but tribute to
your own intelligence and patriotism
that you applaud his name. a wiser
statesman-a more sagacious intel
lcct-a more keen debater the Con-
gress of the United States thas not
seen for fifty years.
There is not statesman, Repub-
Iican or Democratic. who has met
Mr.. Wilson in debate, or heard him
speak, who will dispute this.
Mr.. Wilson has accepted an invi-
tation to speak i'll this city. and the
spontaneous demonstration at the in
cidental mention of his name the
other night is sufficient proof that
when he appears before Wheeling
audience he will receive an ovation
that he will remember with pride.
