CHILLY WILSON'S FIGHT.

No congressional contest in the country
is being watched with greater interest
than that of brave and brainy Wilson of
West Virginia. But for The position Of
the protection beneficlaries of his district
there would be little difficulty for Mr..
Wilson in the contest. His opponent is
an obscure country lawyer. whose name
is on the ticket "Alston G.. Dayton" and
on his visiting cards "a. German Day
ton" There were two men Of some force
who were candidates for the nomination
John w. Mason of Fairmount, who was
commissioner of internal revenue under
gantown, who was United States attorney
from 1889 to 1S9S but unfortunately for
them Steve ElI1ins concluded that a man
who beat Wilson would be a formidable
opponent to him for senator if the state
should go republican, and so ne dexter
ously killed them off and put a nobody
on the ticket.
The real opposition to Mr.. Wilson lies
with Elkins and Henry G. Davis. who
are using the West Virginia Central rail-
road. which they and Richard c. Kerens,
a member of the republican national COM
mittce from Missouri, own, as a politi-
cal machine to beat him. There are ex-
tensive coal and lumber interests on this
line. and it is urged by the republican
done to them by Mr. Wilson. Nearly
every officer. superintendent, foreman and
boss of the West Virginia Central is ag-
gressively and Extensively fighting Mr.
Wilson. Henry G.. Davis is the president
of the company. He is a first cousin Of
Senator German of Maryland. Elkins is
a son-in-law Of Davis. George w. Har-
rison. f. S. Landstreet and T. B. Davis,
officers of the railroad company and SUI
perintendent of the coal mines, all call
ing themselves democrats, are supporting
the republican candidate and bulldozing
their employees into support of Dayton. T.
B. Davis is a brother OF Henry G. Davis
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which
is the largest and most important railroad
in the district, is taking no part in the
contest. A letter has been written and
posted by one in authority in the COM
pany notifying employees that they were
at liberty to exercise their suffrage ac-
cording to their own judgment. and that if
anybody tried to influence them in the
name of the company 1t was without
authority. The republican managers have
an almost unlimited supply of funds. and
are using them freely. but 1t is not at all
certain that this will be effective. The
natives of West Virginia are a proud and
honest class OF men and they know that
IL Wilson were defeated it would be at
tributed everywhere to the use of money.
1t is, therefore. probable that enough of
those who have a pride in the reputation
