Governor of West Virginia.

An impression seems TO have been made
in some parts Of this State that the Demo-
Gratis Of this Congressional district who dill
fer with Hon. William L. Wilson upon the
tariff. intend to endeavor to defeat his re-
nomination for Congress. So far as we have
been advised no such intention exists here.
We have opposed Mr.. Wilson, so far as some
views of his are concerned, with all our
power. but at no time have VIC had any
thought of trying to defeat him for Congress.
Nor have we heard any such intention ex-
pressed BY others. We have, in our humble
way. tried to caution him and to advise him
of the strong sentiment in this part of the
district We are Democrats and TO our
minds it would be folly to even try and NOM
ina.e aav other candidate next year. If
there ever was any demand for Mr.. Wilson's
candidacy that demand will be fourfold in
1894. In justice 10 himself and in justice
to the Democratic party he should make the
race. The great issue will be the tariff
The bill known as the Wilson bill will be
defended by the Democracy and attacked
by the Republicans Mr.. Wilson and his
committee have made the issue and i; is no
more than right that he should have all the
credit Of his actions He is better equipped
than any mau in the distric; to defend the
measure on the stump, aud he, above all
other men, can show the people Of this dis
,rict the benefits TO be derived from the de-
crease Of duties proposed. We differ as
widely rs any other person from Mr.. Wilson
upon some Of the items OF his bill, but if
they are made party measure we will give
him, as the nominee of the party, our most
cordial and hearty support, aud in a spirit
of fairness we do not wish to see him de-
prived Of any honor if his views should be
adopted by Congress aud prove the issue
before the people He has made the issue
and should be given all the advantages it
affords, but if it should not prove popular
one Mr.. Wilson IS the man 10 60 down with
it. Il would be folly, even if it could be
accomplished, to differ with the National
Democracy in our Congressional platform,
and 10 turn down the man who has been
head and shoulders in making the great
issue between the parties, aud the Demo
Gratis of this Congressional district are not
going 10 attempt it. No effort will be made
10 defeat Mr. Wilson for the nomination,
and he will receive cordial support from
The party generally. We promise him that
as faithful work will be done for his election
in Marion county in the campaign Of 1894
as ever was done ia the past. We have our
individual views upon public questions, but
we are Democrats, and know no other creed
but to keep in party traces. William L.
Wilson, aud he alone, should be our candi-
date for Congress in lS94-FaiIm0Rt hidsx.
