the best specimen Of educated craftsmanship
yet given by West Virginia to the American
Congress. our present representative, the Hon.
VIM. l. Wilson, Of the county of jefferson.
Twelve years ago l was commissioned by
partial friends with the privilege of present
ing to the concentrated wisdom of Demo-
cratic convention of this district the name OF
candidate for Congress. He came to us then
as a happy but compromise solution OF a di-
yided party organization, torn and rent by
factioual discord aud sectional strife, but nc
challenged our attic ntion with the work OF a
young soldier who had been true to his CON
victions and followed the flag Of Virginia's
sovereignty into the clash Of wars, scholar
who had drunk deeply at the fountain of pO-
litical science and history; Democrat who
had been uucrringly true in his loyalty to the
teachings Of the fathers of the republic, and
4 gentleman in the broader and truer sense Of
that exalted term who had discharged ably
and well every public trust aud personal obi
cation. He came from the land of the immor-
tai Jefferson aud the sparkling waters of the
Shenandoah. aud into his keeping the Democ-
racy Of the district entrusted It's banner. You
took him from the cloistered seclusion of West
Virginias chief seat Of learning. its scholarly
head. and during the days Of that memorable
contest he unfurled the banner Of Democratic
truth and lighted the torch of Democratic
faith on every hilltop and valley in the dis
trict from the heights Of Bolivar to the fertile
valley Of the MouonSahcla. He entered the
halls Of the national Legislature attired in the
armor OF 4 complete equipment and filed the
fullest measure OF personal and party require
meni. aud as you follow him from that good
hour in his course over the broad green up
lands of bis political career the pages Of our
couutry's history. which tells the story of his
congressional life. presents a record upon all
the great and vital questions o. the hour
which doubt has never dimmed and eontro-
versy cannot suny. He now returns to us and
lays the hopors with which we invested him
at our feet. and. ike the Spartan hero. sur
renders his shield upon which are emblazoned
his achievements entwined with the laurels Of
his parliamentary couqpests.
1T has been said by an eminent authority
that intelligence, integrity aud courage are

day is not new one for me to receive at
your generous hands So many times has
it come to me in the past-never coldly or
grudgingly-th should vainly seek for
new and stronger language III which to as
sure you of my increasing gratitude for your
approval and support. But if fitting and
sufiicing words are slow to come, beg you
not to doubt that am more deeply moved
and more afiectionately touched by your
action to day than have ever been before
That action comes at the end of one of the
greatest and most momentous struggles that
has marked our political history, and it
comes in such a way as to stamp with your
approval, as constituents and Democrats,
the services which your Representative was
called upon to render for the supremacy of
Democratic principles and the fulfillment of
Democratic pledges. 1t is no mock atfecta
tion-for nothing could be more blamewOr-
thy or criminal on my part on this occasion
but the simple candor which is due from
me to you, when l say that but for what
seemed duty and call growing out of that
struggle, should gladly ask at your hands
an honorable discharge from further public
service and permission to take my place
once again in the ranks of the militant and
ever-faithful Democrats of the second con-
gressicnal district.
"In other campaigns | have accepted this
trust at your hands with full knowledge
Of the labor and strain required for thor
ough canvass Of so large and so stoutly con-
tested district as our own, but also with
confidence in my ability to meet that labor
and strain. To-day cannot have that con-
fdeuce, and, in view of the large and dan
gerous drafts made upon my strength and
health, shall be constrained TO ask at your
hands some remission of the labors of pub
lie cauvassing, which have heretofore so
greatly enjoyed I shall not, however, bea
drone in the approaching contest, and shall
spare no reasonable effort to meet personal

people as can.

genuine tariff reform and has resulted III I'M
posing upon the tariff bill as passed many OBJ
jectlonable protection features
We accept. however, the tariff bill passed
in the same spirit in which it was accepted by
President Cleveland aud the House Of Repre-
sentatives. not as patriotic fulfllment OF the
Democratic pledges on this subject, but as
vast improvement upon the existing condition
as q measure that viii tighten many tariff
burdens that now rest heavily upon the people.
It is not only a barrier against the return oil
mad protection, but furnishes vantage
ground from which may be better waged fur
Their aggressive operations against protected
monopolies and governmental favoritism, and
we pledge ourselves to carry forward from
this vantage ground the great battle OF tarih
reform until tariff legislation is freed from all
suspicion Of control by the Sugar Trust and
kindred monopolies, until relief is given to an
oyertaxed people and until the pledges OF the
Democratic party are wholly redeemed.
We indorse the entire administration of
President Cleveland, the action Of the Demo-
cratic party in repeating the infamous federal
election laws and in restoring economy and
honesty in all branches of the governmental
service, in congressional appropriations, re-
sulting already in the saving of thirty millions
outlay per year.
We heartily approve and indorsc the con-
gressional career Of William L. Wilson, and
recommended his unanimous denomination as
deserved, though small, tribute to the pride
Of the Democracy of the second district of
West Virginia and the honest, courageous and
heroic leader of the tarif-reform cause in the
United States.
Nominations were called for Col. Jno.
T. McGraw, of Taylor county, took the
stand and made speech-the perfection
of nominating speech indeed, equal
in all respects to the great effort of Dan
iel Daugherty, few years ago, in a ma
tional convention.
MR.. MCGRAw's TRIBUTE TO WILSON.
Then followed the denomination of Repre-
sentative Wilson. The nominating speech
was made by Mr.. McGraw who placed Mr..
Wilson in nomination in 1882 for his first term.
The speech was a splendid one and was re-
ceiyed with no end of cheering. 1.-THE De-
mocracy of this district has been convened
to-day" he said "under regular constituted
authority to perform the highest chara cter Of
patriotic duty, to indorse with singular unan-
unity aud to approve with the seal of gener-
GUS appreciation the heroic achievements and
brilliant accomplishments of an illustrious
public servant, In this spirit l have been
asked to present to this convention for rein
vestment with its honors the name of a gem
tleman who has the exalted distinction of be-
ing the first citizen of the Commonwealth and

Ut essional strife for the preservation OF the
constitution and in the interesto OF emancipated
labor aud individual freedom marks the same
and bristles with the fame of his splendid &C
complisbments. and the history which tells OF
these years stamps William L. Wilson as one
of the greatest living opponents OF the Demo-
cratic faith, the peer of any man whose name
is found in its pages, and one who holds no
second place even among his peers. The
present Congress from which he comes bears
the fine fruition of his commanding states
manship, and. however much its results may
have fallen short OF our just expectation, we
have the consciousness of knowing that he
has done his part faithfully, courageously,
unselfshly and veil"
''Honoring his State by his representation,
he has been eva found at the forefront OF
the battle line, decreasing the admiration OF
his friends while he enforced the respectful
attention of his enemies, and there is no man
in this district and can be no one in this state
in whose veins there courses the blood OF
generous West Virginia citizenship who can
recall without exaltation and pride that mem
orable day at the close of iercely fought
battle. when he. the tribune Of the people,
stood on the floor OF the American commons,
your representative and champion, and called
the roll OF American Democracy and sum-
moned them to industrial liberty and COM
mercial freedom while he welded the battle
axe of tariff reform and Glove the helmet OF
protection.
''And now, standing as we do IN THIS pres
ence. with our faces to the future and with
uncovered heads to the past, let US perform
the duty of the hour. Let the laurels with
which we crown him to-day be such as MEM
DRY weayes for the unfailing glories OF the
record he has made and by our united action
let us return him to the legislative contests
from which he comes with his arm strength
ened and his soul refreshed by the renewal OF
our confidence, affection and esteem.
Col. F. W. Brown was called, and sec
onded the nomination of Hon. VIM. l..
. Wilson in a brief, but eloquent and Wig
orous speech. The nomination was made
by reclamation aud with burst of en-
thusiasm. A committee was appointed
to inform Mr.. Wilson of his nomination
and to escort him and his friends to the
hall. His appearance was the signal for
veil that had its counterpart only in
some of the "rebel yells" OF the Stone
wall Brigade" in the days of generation
past. The chairman, in words of burn
ing eloquence, introduced Mr.. Wilson.

In accepting the nomination, Mr.. Wilson
spoke substantially as follows:

You have a great duty to perform, and on
that fatcful night In November when the bal
lots are counted the whole country will wait
with bated breath for the ticking that will
fash over the wires telling of the result In the
second West Virginia district.
1T often occurs in the history of nations
that one man becomes the incarnation, the
embodiment of tho peoples cause and the
peoples life. In this relation stands William
L. Wilson to the people in their struggle
against oppressive taxation. His name Is SO
identified with that cause that the two have
become inseparable in the minds OF men. And
what is this cause? Only that every mans
dollar shall have Its full purchasing power In
the markets OF the world. Nay, Il is more
than that. 1t is a conflict between the Amer
lean people and the American Sugar Trust.
This is the pre-eminent issue of this campaign.
Il is the fight OF the men who follow Wilson
against the hirelings who follow Havemeyer.
II would like TO tell you something OF the
tariff, but, gentlemen, dare not speak OF war
in the very presence Of Hannibal himself,
but will say that while you have had close
contests before, you now have the biggest
fight on your hands you ever had. II is a
fight which will not only test your courage
and your devotion, but your integrity as well,
for money will be freely spent here and no
result would be as acceptable to the sugar
Trust as the defeat Of William l.. Wilson
The eyes Of the nation are centered on this
district, and as has well been said, this con
yention is the most important In the country

crat in II TO do his duty
