Representative Culberson, Of Texas,
who has been in the house since 1875,

men for a place in the, cabinet, CulbeF-

were James Guthrie, secretary OF the
treasury; James o. Dobb In, secretary Of
the navy; Robert Mcclellan, secretary

SOME. WEST yIRaINGANs,
If William /. Wilson, the representa-
tive in Congress from this district
wishes to sit at the coupcll table he
may do so, for there is no man in public
life whose services are more generously
conceded, as there, is no man whose
splendid talents are more universally
recognized. BY q rare union oil learn
ing, eloquence, wisdom, modesty and
purity OF character he has stamped
upon every act Of his public life The Inn
press Of great mind, and every moves
W RSRs tE be hsn 9SSp R4PFt'd
The government owes tribute to West
Virginia by reason offthe services rem
dered by the public servants she has
furnished. The brilliant senator who
lies upon q sick bed in Washington,
sorely afflicted, would be conspicuous in
a legislature where sat Edmund Burke
aud Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Aman
Of genius, magnnnimous, golden-heart-
ed, great-souled, who would.risk his life
TO save dumb animal from destruc-
ton, gentle as a child, withal a man
whom no threats could ever awe nor
promises ever tempt-John r. Kenna.
Faulkner, son OF the most conspicu-
Gus lawyer OF his daytn this common
wealth, stands in the first rank in the
senate, honored and respected by the
conscript fathers, Edmunds, Sherman,
Hoar and Morrill,, whose industry Is
untiring, whose work in the senate is
recorded in the national statute books.
Faulkner was perhaps tho busiest man
in the late campaign.
Mason, the commissioner OF internal
revenue gallant soldier OF the Union,
man OF honor and integrity, lawyer
OF rare good sense, has diligently made
the citizens pay tribute to Caesar. The
internal revenue tax IL one Of the legs
Of the government. When the COM
missioner surrenders his commission it
will be after a servics creditable to
himself and OF advantage to the public
service. Ibid good bye toithe old year
and wipe my pen upon my hair.
