made the occasion of demonstration
by his Democratic fellow citizens of
the second congressional district, which
rather taxed the capacity OF this his
torlc old town, the county seat of JEFF
ferson county. Not only did the DEM
ocratic voters from the rural districts
and towns and villages of the Eastern
Panhandle respond to the call of the
local committee on arrangements, but
the more remote counties OF the con-
gressional districts were fully repre-
scented and not few of the old Vir-
ginians ana citizens Of Maryland and
even OF Pennysvania journeyed by rail
to this out-of-the-way nook to assist
in the welcome OF the great exponent of
the Democratic tariff policy and listen
to the address he was to make. The
events on the program OF the day
were set on foot about the time he ar
ranged TO sail for home, and he had
no Idea of what was going to hap
pen. He was therefore appraised OF
the arrangements in New York. and
as result, delayed his arrival at his
home until today in order the meet
the plans OF the local committee. Mr..
Wilson's party arrived AZ Harper's fer
ny on the main line Of the Baltimore
and Ohio road on board the Chicago
express, at / o'clock this afternoon.
Accompanying Mr.. Wilson was Col.
r. +. Chew, chairman OF the
Democratic congressional committee of
the Sixth district; Hon. Robert W.
Hunter OF Virginia; Hon. d. I, Barton
OF Manchester Va, and Hon. Fred j.
Nelson of Frederick city. Nd. Hon.
u. Il. Meyers OF Harrisburg, Pa, Joined
the party at Harpers ferry. At noon
special train filed with Mr. Wilson's
enthusiastic constituents, nelghbors
and friends, and accompanied by two
brass bapds. left CHAR ston for Har-
per's ferry. An imA4--.se crowd had
assembled at that point and there was
much cheering as MIR. Wilson and party
were transferred to the valley road for
the ten mile ride to Charleston.
Arriving there about ESQ. MIR, Wilson
was escorted by a long column OF
voters TO the court house. where the
addresses were delivered.
Chairman Chew called the meet
ing TO order and on behalf Of the Dem
ocracy OF Charlestown, Of jefferson
county, Of West Virginia and of the
country. welcomed Mr. Wilson home.
Mr.. Wilson began his address with
touching reference to the great popu-
lar demonstration which had greeted
him ON his return and thanked his fell
low citizens and friends and neighbors
for the unanimlty with which they
had taken part In his welcome. Re
ferrlng TO political matters Mr.. Wilson
said he should not be able to take up
In an orderly and satisfactory manner
the discussion OF the public issues of
the day, because he had been rushed
from shipboard TO train and from
train to platform with scarcely any
chance for thought.

stage In the development OF our coun-

foreign trade is the only safety valve

and inspiring popular revolution and

Industries, limitation on the markets
on which we are to sell by law and
limitation by law for the amount
which we can prohtably produce. Those
are the two systems which are now
before the American people, md as
! have before said. giving a somewhat
lengthier view, what the people OF
Jefferson county need is mere markets
for wheat and for the mechanics,
which means more markets for manu-
featured goods. II there is one thing
to which ] gave more attention than
another during my absence from this
country It was thee ondition of the
wheat market OF tho old world. When
