a Wilson Endorsement.
Clarksburg, Nov. 9th, 1873.
1. William Gam phalI

Clarksburg, NOV. 9Th, J. -.
Hon. William Campbell,
CbarlestoWu w. Va.
My Dear Senator Campbell:
| received your letter Of the End inst,
ard avail myself of this opportunity
o answer it, and especially to respond
to the inquiry as to whether favor the
nomination of Governor Woodrow
Wilson as the Democratic candidate
for President.
| am among those who in this
emergency most heartily favor his
nomination, because | believe he is
not only the most available candidate
whose name has yet been mentioned,
but also because Of his high character
and eminent fitness and qualifications
for that high office. lie, in my judg-
ment, is the strongest man who has
been named, and if he should be
nominated, it is my opinion he would
sweep the country and be triumphant
~ elected The masses of the people
are for him, and would rally to his
st andard as they have not done since
the first election of Grover Cleveland.
They believe in his honesty of pur-
pose and integrity, and admire Inn
for his fearessness in attacking the
corrupt bosses and their methods and
for the successful administration OF
The government he has given to the
heretofore boss-ridden State of New
Jersey. His ideals are high, and his
sense of public duty is above mere
subserviency to party for the sake of
party.
The country needs such man as he
in the Presidential chair.
My earnest hope is that, looking to
the welfare of the country as well as
to the welfare and future OF the Dem-
ocratic Party, Governor Wilson may
be nominated.
He has the courage of his convict
ions and is Democrat.
Yours truly,
JOHN j. DAVIS.

LABOR FINDS NEW
GRIEVANCE AGAINST
PRINTER DONNELLY
Fight Planned to Bar Unex-
perienced Men From
Printing Office.

Criticism Of the administration OF
Public Printer Donnelly, formally pre-
sented at the American Federation OF
Labor convention at Atlanta. is in
creased by a new alleged grievance OF
Washington printers. a..
The proposed employment Of mex
perienced printers as linotype operators
at the Federal print shop is causing in
dignation among the union printers
Protests against hiring such operators
will be sent by Columbia Typographical
Union, No. 16l, to the Public Printer
and the United States Civil Service
Commission. Such action was ordered
yesterday by the union at its monthly
meeting in Typographical Temple.
Announcement Of an examination BY
the Civil Service Commission for limo
type and monotype operators November
60 provoked the new criticism of the
Public Printer. 1t Is declared men with
out any printing experience may ta'
the examination and be employed, even
without union affiliations.

Hsien Flu Massacre of
Foreigners Confirmed
In London Dispatches

LONDON, Nov. 0.-Confirmation of a
rumored massacre of foreigners at
Hsien Flu, China, was received here to-
day In messages from Tien Tsin. The
number Of victims is not stated. 1t is
known that most, If not all, foreigners
in Hsien Flu were English and Scandi-
navian Baptist missionaries. The rebels
seem to have been responsible for the
slaughter, since they recently captured
the city from the imperialists. r..
Reports of massacre of French mis-
sionaries In Lolos territory, south Of
Sse Chuen province, still lack confirma-
tion.. but the gravest fears are enter
tanned.
The actual outbreak of anti-foreig> -
yaplence in China Is causing deep anx-
i0ty In government circles here. Not
only Is II feared the Hsien Flu outrage
Will be followed by murders of foreign
ers all over China, but since 1t Is EVIL
dent that outside Intervention cannot be
longer delayed the danger of friction be-
tween the powers becomes imminent.
England Is most ss-3picious of Japan
and Russia. It has alliances with both.
but trusts neither very far. The Eng
ifsh believe the Gear and Mikado have
long had compact for partitioning
China to the exclusion of other powers.
Anxiety was intensified by the land
ing of Japanese troops at Chi Flu with
out what was considered here adequate
reason at the time. News that Russia
has been partially mobilizing troops in
eastern Siberia Is considered another
dangerous symptom.
