Sentiment among Democrats and the
I thoughtful people OF the Second Con-
I gressioual district OF West Virginia is
growing stronger aud stronger 10 fay5f
/ Of the Hon. William L. WilsCd' sue
ceed.ug himself In the next Congress
I from this district.
II Is true that a few months ago, ow-
/ ing 10 the bad c0ndi tiOa OF the business
OF the country, there was discomfort,
aud some displeasure was manifested
I toward Mr.. Wilson for his views OF the
tariff revision. But this is true, and is
always expected Of the leader OF any
course however good. But now our
people are getting 10 be more
! thoughtful and couslderate. They
are beginning TO see more and more
that Mr.. wilson is not only scholarly,
but a iar.seeIng statesman, and when
researches made OF those who were look
ing around for q new man TO succeed
Mr.. Wilson for the nomination, il will
be found that many men restless and
disconnected at the existing situation
OF the business affairs of the country,
or were looking for place for them
selves 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 a repeal Of the
Mckinley 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 bet
ter laws by the preparation Of the
famous bill bearing his name, present.
ing il TO Congress and getting 1t through
the House. What more could be do?
What more could any Que else do? Who
would say that Mr.. Wilson has not been
true 20 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 or betraY him az this great hour OF
need? Failing 20 return him 10 Con-
gresS, n be will accept denomination,
will be a loss 90 bis district, a loss 70 the
Democracy Of the State, and. loss to
the country 10 general. II he will by
any means accept q denomination he
should have 70. and De being renomina-
tad will be reelected despite the awful
threats ana boasts Of the 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. II is tho same
old story this year.
There are other men in the district
Just as good as Mr.. Wilson, but none
so tried.
We have nothing against the other
good Democrats OF the district, neither
have We anything particular for Mr..
Wilson, only be is true, tried states
man, one weighed in the balance these
many years and neveaTs 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 matter. II Mr.. Wilson is re-
nominated he will be reelected. This
is as near a certainty as anything could
be that had not happened.
EN-REPUBLICAN.
