Elegant Styie.

The letter quoted below was recently
written TO one of our contemporaries
from Taylor county man who was for
merry republican.
Sentiment among democrats and the
thoughtful people OF the Second Com
gressional district of West Virginia is
growing stronger and stronger in favor
OF the Hon. William L. Wilson succeed
ing himself in the next Congress from
this district.
1t is true that few months ago, ow-
ing to the bad condition Of the business
of the country, there was discomfort,
and some displessure was manifested
toward Mr.. Wilson for his views of the
tariff revision. But this is true, and is
always expected of the leader of any
course howey,r good. But now our peo-
pie are getting TO be more thoughtful
and considerable. They are beginning to
see more and more that Mr. Wilson is
not only a scholarly, but a far-seeing
statesman, and when research is made
OF those who we're looking around for a
new man to succeed Mr. Wilson for the
nomination, it will be found that many
men restless and discontinued at the ex-
listing situation of the business affairs of
the country, or were looking for place
for themselves or their friends.
They were criticising Mr.. Wilson, be-
cause they thought his efforts in Con-
gress were against the general good OF
the country, while they should have
commended him, and stood by him for
trying to bring about repeal OF the Me-
Kinley law, and for being true to his
party, and courageous in fulfilling its
pledges.
Mr.. Wilson has long since well and
bravely done his share OF enacting better
laws by the preparation of the famous
bill bearing his name, presenting it to
Congress and getting it through the
House. What more could be do? What
more could any one else do? Who
would say that Mr.. Wilson has not been
true to the people, and firm and able in
fulfilling the pledges of his party? He
is still the true, able, scholarly states
man the champion of the peoples rights.
What democrat can denounce him OF
betray him at this great hour OF need 7
Failing to return him to Congress, if he
will accept denomination, will be a
loss to his district, loss to the demo.
cracy of the State, and loss to the
country in general. If he will by any
means accept a denomination he should

be reelected despite the awful threats
and boasts of the republicans that have
come up to face him at every election
since he was the candidate the first time
Republicans that have come up to face
him at every election since he was the
candidate the first time. Republicans
have been very successful against him
every campaign, till the day Of election.
1t is the same old story this year.
There are other men in the district
just as good as Mr. Wilson, but none sc
tried
We have nothing against the other
good democrats OF the district, neither
have we anything particular for Mr.
Wilson, only he is true, tried states.
man, one weighed in the balance these
many years and never found wanting
Can we afford to risk a change of the
candidate this year. The eyes of the
whole country are upon us in this mat.
ter. Ii Mr.. Wilson is renominated he
will be reelected. This is as near a
certainty as anything could be that had
not happened.
