To "RdhL and File"

Recognizing the right of my fellow members
of the Democratic party, to demand of me to
become candidate for nomination for Tie
Legislature, and approaching as highly as any
man the compliment which it conveys, in an
swer to your call in the Advocate of June 18th
last, hereby consent to become such Candi-
didate for the District composed of the coun-
ties of Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan.
In making this announcement it is proper
that l should say, that do not approve of the
action of our Senator, the Hon. Johnson n.
Camden, respecting the Wilson bill, and should
1 be elected, in casting my vote for his success
sor, it will be cast for some man who repre-
sents more nearly the principles, that protec-
ton to any industry is unlawful and that the
Free list of raw material should be so enlarged
as to reduce the cost Of manufactured pro-
ducts to the consumer and enlarge the field OF
profitable employment to labor.
These principles have received their endorse
ment in the platform of the party at Chicago,
and their triumphant vindication in the late
election of President Cleveland. If the Demo-
cratic Party is to have any future, it can only
be on the condition of the strict observance of
these principles by its Representatives.
Very Respectfully,
A. w. McDoSALD.

What Does This Mean ?

From the Shepherdstown Register.
The following paragraph is part of spec
ial dispatch sent from Martinsburg to the
Wheeling Intelligencer under date of June
29th:
Ruthven w. Morrow, editor of the Farm
ers Advocate, an organ of the farmers ALI
ance. published at Charles Town, was IN
town yesterday to hear the speech of ex-
Governor Wilson, and in conversation stated
that he would not again support VIM. l..
Wilson for Congress, because of his record
on the silver question, and expressed be-
lief that two hundred Democratic votes IN
Jefferson would be cast against him if he is
nominated.
In the Philadelphia Times of Saturday
last there appeared another dispatch from
Martinsburg, dated June Doth, on the same
subject, which says:
A move was set on foot to-day to run a
Populist candidate for Congress in this
William L. Wilson's) district, and if it
succeeds will probably defeat the distin-
guished author of the tariff bill, as the Peo-
Piles party is made up largely of Democrat
ic voters. The movement has the support
of free silver men and is encouraged by the
Farmers Advocate, the organ of the farm
ers' alliance. The paper has heretofore sup
ported Mr.. Wilson. Ex-Secretary Stephen
b. Elkins is being urged by Republican
leaders of the State to oppose Mr.. Wilson
as the Republican nominee.
We forbear comment until the editor Of
the Farmers Advocate has had an opportu'
nifty to explain.
