district 70 task on account or the al
legged fact that certain politicians in 1t
have declared war upon hon w. l..
Wilson and purpose TO send an anti
Wilson delegation TO the next Congress
ional convention, all OF which is unjust
10 Mr.. Wilson and the people Of the
district whom be so we'll and ably rep
resents. There may be some im-
patience manifested In certain quarters
because there has not been an imme-
date and rapid change In the fourth
class pOstoffces and so on. And this
sll takes time and cannot be attended 10
all over the district in day when the
claims Of numerous and capable april
cants have 10 be canvassed and the pest
possible choice made.
The people of the Second district
stood molly by Mr.. Cleveland as they
have for the last ten years by Mr.. VIII
son. II will not be the fault or the
Democratic party Of this district II 1t
fails TO send Mr.. Wilson to Congress so
long as he desires il while he continues
TO represent his people so faithfully and
gives the best of a brilliant and active
life in securing whatever is to the best
interests OF the people. The chances
for Reinforcement OF some OF the rep
resentatives from other districts seem TO
DO more in jeopardy than those OF the
representatives from the Second district.
FairmOnt Inder-Col Joseph S. Mil
Ter was appointed Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue by President CLEVELAND.
Last week we thought this appointment
was mistake, and we have seen no
reason TO change our opinion. This
view is held by almost every Democrat
with whom we have talked. As the APP
pOintment is made there Is but one
thing to be done, and that Is
to submit gracefully and sup
port the appointee so far as he
conducts his Office for the good OF the
country and upon Democratic princi-
pies. Mr.. Miller has IL In bis power TO
make himself again strong with his
party. He not only can do that, but be
at the same time can relieve the party's
representatives OF the blame for his
appointment. II be conducts this Of
fee In the manner he did before, the
men who are responsible for his selec-
ton will be held 10 a strict account
ability By the party at the first oppor-
tunity. II now all rests with Mr.. Mill
Ter.
Grafton Leader-The appointment OF
Hon. Joseph 5. Miller from this State
TO be Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
Is q most worthy one and the Just recog-
milton Of eminent public services admir-
ably rendered during the first term OF
President Cleveland. The appointment
would not have come 10 West Virginia
had not Col. Miller received it. lie had
the endorsement Of the entire delega-
ton Of the State in Congress. The APP
pointment is latteringly commented
upon by the press of the country which
could find nothing TO criticise in Com
missioner Miller's administration or the
Office during President Cleveland's first
term. The public service will be bene-
fitted by the appointment
FqirmoRt Inder-The REGISTER is
taking a good deal Of pains to convince
the public that the West Virginia Con-
gressional delegation was heartily and
enthusiastically for the appointment OF
Miller from start 10 finish. We don't
know what grievance the editor OF that
journal has against the delegation, but
il must be a serious one; for II he would
get out among the people and hear
them discuss the subject he would soon
become convinced that that endorse
ment will be- the political death OF
every man concerned In u.
ShepherdstolCn RegiSter-The Presi-
dent last Saturday nominated Mr.. Jo-
seph S. Miller Of West Virginia TO be
commissioner OF internal revenue. We
hope Mr.. Miller will make the offensive
partisans vamOOSe aud surround him
self with good Democrats, among whom
there will be many West Virginians.
His appointment Is not one that meets
with great appreciation in this State,
but he has II in his power to compel the
approval of his party. We hope he
may pursue such course.
Grafton Senttnel-Senator Camden, OF
West Virginia, is getting out some large
timber for the Worlds Fair. One of
the pieces is an ash plank
three feet three inches wide, and
another is a poplar plank ex-
actly five feet wide. Another poplar
tree, eleven feet in diameter, is being
hewed out to be sent to Chicago. 1t
cannot be cut with q saw on account OF
its tremendous size. IL Is claimed that
the greatest exhibits OF timber and coal
at the Fair will be from West Virginia.
ShepherdStolcn RegiSter-Gov. Mac
Corkle is making radical changes in the
management Of some of our State in
situations. There are some cases in
which this is eminentlY proper, yet it is
