Mr.. Wilson is standing the strain OF
the campaign well, although the past
week has been a trying OHe, an immense
amount OF hard work having been CON-
pressed into the six DAYS. To-day he
devoted 20 perfect rest, and tomorrow
morning be will proceed 10 Warrington
where the first speech OF the new week
will be made. Fully realizing the great
effort which the Republicans are MAX
ing to defeat him, be has unoOunded
confidence In tbs result, aud will con-
tjnue right along with his magnificent
campEign. HIS progress throughout
the district, as the great champion OF
the people, and as tha exponent OF re-
duced taxation and sound economic
principles, is ia marked contrast with
the sour OF Mr. Mckinley, the head and

One Of the most pleasing features or
Mr. Wilson's visit 90 MorgantOWn was
the banquet given in his honor by the
students OF the University, at the
Wallace House last night. A reception
was held 10 the hotel parlors, after
which supper was served, ten young
ladies acting as walters. The dining
hall was decorated with the college
colors o, old gold and blue bunting,
flags, aud pictures Of Mr.. Wilson. ). ).
Davis, of Ohio county, as toaStmaster,
introduced Mr. Wilson. Herecalled his
life as President OF the University with
many happy "reminiscences of his con-
nectlOn with the institution. His talk
20 the students was practical and
interesting. he closed by saying
he thought 10 the highest
duty OF every educated Young man 20 20
Into politics, DOT as schener or Office
seeker but as an honest, sincere and
fearless student OF political problems.
