been local fight watched with more
intense interest by the eyes OF the
whole nation, excepting, possibly, tho
recent contest in the Ashland district
in Kentucky. That the national Do
mocracy realize the situation is evil
denced by the remarkable fight they are
making TO save Mr.. Wilson from slaugh-

OF his district. The great national lead

un.erriied believe that tariff for pro-
