Cairo, w. Va, Nov 4.-Hon,
John M. Hamilton. the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress, was
Riven a rousing welcome here
last night. It was the largest
and most enthusiastic political
meeting held in Richie county
during the campaign, and the
speech was a statesmanlike eff
fort, receiving the earnest atten-
ton of the large assemblage of
voters, his telling points being
warmly applauded.
Mr.: Hamilton discussed the
various Issues ably, and speaking
of the Virginia debt, said:
For number of years a shad-
ow has hung over the state IN
the matter of an imense debt
claimed by certain creditors Of
the Mother state, and which it is
now the effort to fasten on this
state, and for which purpose a
suit Is pending the Supreme
Court Of the nation. A few
years ago this shadow was of the
size of the hand, like that which
the servant Of the prophet said,
as his master prayed for rain,
but now it covers all the skies,
and threatens the prosperity,
the property and the people Of
the state. A judgment against
us will constitute an incum-
brance against every farm, every
factory, every railroad and every
other species of property within
our borders. 1t is not even
known who are the present claim
ants of the demand, as Virginia
only professed to act in the inter-
est of the holders of the certifi-
Gates involved. A short time ago
these certificates were sold at
three cents on the dollar, and to-
day they are said to bring 6e
cents.
More than twenty-five years
ago James G.. Blaine, whose
craftsmanship no one can deny,
in his history of 20 years of Con.
gress, said that there was neither
moral nor legal responsibility or
this state for the debt, or for any
part thereof. His logic made il
conclusive that if the debt is jus
it should be paid by the genera
government, as in part consider
alton to the state of Virginia foi
the territory of which she was
deprived by the formation of the
state Of West Virginia. He said
that treating the old state mere.

corded to Mexico, as a foreign
foe. That in our war win MeXi-

our interests to acquire a large
part of the territory, we made
compensation by the full pay

and she was at our feet. Also
the government assumed certain
debts which Mexico owed to cit
liens of this nation, and paid
them out of the public treasury.
The value of the territory and
the debts so assumed aggregated
10 million dollars.
Why are the views of that

That fall hats were being worn earlier
