WILKINSON FOR CONGRESS.
To the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The writer has made a careful
survey of the political situation in the
First Congressional district OF West
Virginia and finds seemingly strong
sentiment favorable to the nomination
OF ]. n. Wilkinson, OF the county OF
Harrison, for Congress.
While other favorite sons have been
mentioned in this connection, yet the
masses of the Democracy recognize in
Wilkinson all the elements of a typi-
cal compaigner. Your correspondent
is not sure that he would accept so
important trust but in consequence
of his sterling worth and his qualities
as superb stumper, he by nature
to meet his adversary in open debate
upon the issues that confront the peo-
pie for their consideration.
Chivalrous in spirit and coutly in
manner, his influence is not limited To
the party for whose interests he has
done 80 much.
Possessing a strong bushes capacity
and an intellect so Enthusiastically
brl.liant, he is elegantly qualified tc
discharge the various duties that viii
necessarily devolve upon him in case
the people of the First district deem il
wise to give him a seat in the Lower
Council Chamber of the National Con
gress.
Being an honored and influential cit
izen OF the county of Harrison the
eastern part of the district will demand
cognizance, not because OF any eslab-
lished preceaents, but by virtue of the
fact that no mistake can be made in
placing the banner in the hands of VIII
kinson for whose nomination at the
hands of the Democratic party, so many
are asking in the counties OF Harrison
Gunner. Do44ridge and Lewis. In con-
clusion, the writer desires TO empha-
size the fact that due wisdom should
he manifested in making this nominal
ton.
Favorltism and geographical loca-
ton should not receive any considera-
Lon IN naming the man. but with an
eye single to redeeming the district,
let us nominate J.. N Wilkinson fo1

COLONIZING NEGROES.
Over Two Thousand Prospective He
gal Republican Voters Brought to
West Vfrginia.

West NfrEinia.
To the Editor of the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3.-That
the Republican bosses are engaged in
their quadrennial negro colonization
scheme in West Virginia is fully DEM
onstrated by the fact that since the
first day of January fully two thousand
negroes from Virginia and other States
have been shipped over the railroads
leading through this city to points in
West Virginia, where, it is claimed, they
are being sent to work on railroads un-
der construction. Unless the Demo-
cratic workers adopt prompt and eff
fective measures to prevent it, past ex-
perience has shown that every single
one of those negroes will cast his vote
at the November election, and as mat
ter of course for the Republican ticket.
While it is true that quite number of
colored voters in our State are refusing
to be led by the Republican bosses. yet
they belong to that class who have
lived in the State long enough to have
learned that all the use the bosses have
for them is to get their votes on cleo
ton day. but the invariable rule has
been that those who have been brought
in on the eve Of an election always vote
the Republican ticket that being the
sole purpose for which they are
brought.
The local Democratic leaders at
every point where these imported
negroes are being colonized should see
that our election laws, which furnish
ample remedies in those cases, are fully
enforced. WEST VIRGINIA.

once bit baker, who was bringing

Camp and explained to him what a
great offense he had committed, after
which, to the last moments of his life,
he never heard the least allusion to
the incident without getting up and
sinking off to the darkest corner Of
the room. Then, il you said: "The

out from his hiding place, caper about

him, but would start off to greet his
