Chairman Wilson.

The Kanawha Gazette Is confident that
Hon. w L. Wilson will be returned 10
the House Of Representatives, though the
Republicans have set their hearts upon
defeating him because he Is the repre-
sentative of tariff reform. They have not
only determined to try to prevent his
election. but have subscribed large sums
OF money to the fund set apart for de-
feating him as the man who stands for
the opposition to Mckinley. the author OF
the Mckinley law, and now the most
prominent candidate for the Republican
nomination In 1896 for the presidency Of
the United States.
The Gazette says that the greatest dan
ger which threatens Mr.. Wilson Is the
over-confidence OF his friends. We do not
fear MIR. Wilson's defeat as we have had
occasion for saying heretofore. Old Nir-
ginia was never known to fail TO re-elect
such n man as he Is 10 Congress; ana
the daughter will be sure 10 follow In
the footsteps OF the mother. BESIDES
West Virginia has but few negroes with
in her borders. There is no large negro
contingent that can be brought up to the
assistance of the men who are moving
heaven and earth to defeat Chairman
Wilson. Surely no white constituency
will fail 10 come up to the support OF
such a man.

An untruth as to Miss Winnie DAVIS.

There Is a newspaper story afioat that
Miss Winnie Davis. being in favor OF
woman suffrage" has said that she
would vote the Republican ticket If she
had the right to do So"
We have It from the best authority
that this statement is false in all OF us
particulars. Indeed such a monstrous
proposition from one of Mrs. Davis
family would be impossible.
The fact is that Miss Winnie Davis is
opposed to woman suffrage, but were she
in favor of it, she could never contem-
plate joining a party which has so bit
terly reviled her father to say nothing
of its hostility TO our people
The hearts and lot OF Mrs. Davis and
her children are with the South, and the
temerty of the person who attempts 10
put them in any other position Is mex
plicable.

in a style that we commend to the con-
sideration of his namesake. Senator Jones,
of Nevada. Sam tones said:
1.-THE trouble with the Peoples party is
that it can't deliver the goods. The rank
and file OF the party are clever fellows,
but the Democratic party can run a
mile while they are pulling on their
boots. and they will have the rabbit
twisted out OF the hole before the Populist
dog is on the ground"
There is powerful cohesion in the Demo-
cratic ranks. Sam Jones himself couldn't
deliver the goods" If he were to under
take to deliver Democrats 10 any other
than the Democratic party.
