BosToS. Mass, Nov. IA reception
was accorded Congressman William l..
Wilson of West Virginia, at the fremont
House this afternoon. The Congressman
had numerous callers. Congressman omen
introduced the visitor.
After the reception Mr.. Wilson sat down
to dinner with some seventy-hve Of the
Democratic leaders of the State. Among
those present we're ex.GOy Russell, Hon.
Joseph NJ. O'NeiIl, Hon G. F. Williams
Hon. Sherman Hosr, Hon. J. W Corcoran'
Col. F. Peabody, Mayor Matthews, OF Bos-
ton, and others.
Mr.. Wilson was introduced to the assem-
blsVe BY Hon. J. W. Corcoran, and said
in part: -,
81 do not feel, and am sure | feel still
les, than ever before, any special reason to
be cast down by the somewhat unexpected
reverses Of Tuesday. am sure l have not
myself any feeling of dependency concern
ing nv own candidacy or hegeueral results,
or as regards the fate of the Democratic
party. FOR this reason During the past ten
wears we have taken up q great issue ana
have fought il out as no other great issue
was ever fought out in the history Of poll
tics. We have succeeded in placing on the
statute books of the country not so good a
law as we ought to have put there, but
law as TO whose permanency have no sort
of doubt Whatever we have done will re-
main. do not believe we will 90 back to
wha, the President so sptly called mad pro-
lection. When people begin to realize in
their own homes and living the benehceut
work of the Democratic party believe they
will come back to sustain rs.
"For this reason am not cast down by
the result of the election. We have simply
encountered, first hard fight Of all parties,
and. second, au impossible fight with that
which they call hard times
This Was not deliberate condemnation
Of our party and what it has done. The
kick came from the heels Of the American
people: there was very little brains in it
I know we have suffered for reasons for
which we are not particularly responsible,
for admit that some of our work has beeu
done in bungling manner. But in aPopular
government run BY 15,OOO,O0O voters there
will always be some hesitatiug and bungling
work. An autocracy or a bureaucracy can
be run with greater steadiness and accuracy,
but popular government we must have, II
we have it at all, at tie price of buugling
work"
