There | | are two towns in W Virginia that | | are eternally conflicting. One is Charles- | | ton, the State capital, situate on the | | Kanawha, not far from Kentucky and | Ohio, and with a population nearing 2 | 000. The other is Charles Town, popula- | tion 3000, not far from Harpers Ferry, | and almost within hailing distance of | Washington. Charles Town is aristo- | | cratic and discontented and only enjoys | | life by sneering at Charleston. It is a | popular fallacy that every adult residing | in Charles Town can write a magazine | | article and habitually does. Charles | | 3, | Town has a sign out that it has reached | the limit of its growth and ambition anc | that new settlers are not wanted. Charles Town was cut off from Virginia | when West Virginia was made a State, | and consequently the town has since been | discontented. All the people of Charles Town are soclety people; but they only | hold soclal relations with Virginians; | there is not a West Virginian outside of Charles Town on thelr visiting lists; and no Charles Town people who are not dis: contented because they are geograph- | fcally West Virginians instead of Vir- ginians. SIRCR | In Charles Town, with its peculiar en- | vironment, prejudices and conditions, was | born and bas lived William L. son. In years Wilson is about midway between his fifth and sixth decade. He served in the Confederate Army during the last | year and a haif of the Civil War. Often has he shown me a little tin-type picture | | of himself in Confederate gray, standing | at attention with his gun at the ‘“pre- sent.”” He did not look robust in the picture, and as a matter of fact he never | has been robust. Wilson is not of the | chivalry of Virginia—he springs from the school-teaching class. Wilson is a lovable man. Nearly every one who has had opportunity to be- come acquainted with him has liked him. He is not warm, nor spontaneous, nor is Lie endowed with many of the other traits that make Virginians so attractive, But there is a simpleness in him, and his conversation, while by no means glittering with wit, is so delightful and jure that no one who has ever heard flim’ talk missed an opportunity to hear him agaln. Wilson's rise in West Virginia was slow and progressive, and his fall was sharp and violent. He was the best loved man In his State—in fact, described by common consent as first citizen of the commonwealth." the fatal ‘‘curse of Cleveland” fell on him, and West Virginians derided and despised him instead of honoring him. made him a member of hisofficial family." He decided to stand by the President, and his party in West Virginia turned on him with such fierce hate that for a couple of years he deemed it prudent not to visit his' ho:ne. £ Wilson was elected to Congress from the Second District of West Virginia for six consecutive terms—twelve years. He was picked up accidentally. He was the president of the University of West Vir- ginia, located at Morgantown. A Demo- cratic Congressional Convention was in session there and became -deadlocked. There was balloting for more than a week, three favorite sons being in the ra At last the convention broke up in a row and the three men who were before the convention became candidates before the people. The Republicans were united and it became plain to the Democrats that_they would have to unite or lose the district. A new convention was called, the favorite sons stood aside and Wil- son, copsidered inoffensive and not of much account and likely not to be long in anybody's way, was nominated. He was elected and did not attract much attention during his first term. He did, however, attract the attention of one keen and farsighted statesman, who at the time was chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and _the leader of the House. This was Wiliam R. Morrison of Illinois. Morrison is the real discoverer of Wilson. Morrison found that the ex-college president was a stu- dent and had looked deep into the tariff question. Morrison was looking for men of that kind and when the next Congress convened he got Speaker Carlisle to put i\vusun on the Ways and Means Com- | mittee. From that time until the blight of Clevelandism struck the Democratic party Wilson Was a power in Congress. e was chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and leader of the House during the Fifty-third Congress. He is the author of the tariff bill that has gone to history labeled with his name. The industries of West Virginia | were hit hard by the Wilson bill. He put wool and coal and lumber on the free list. This touched the pockets of | such Democrats as ex-Senator Henry G. Davis and ex-Senator J. N. Camden. They built a cave under Wilson and on election day his Republican opponent had the bet- ter of him by more .t an 2000 . The writer of this accompanied Wilson during his last Congressional campaign. I was then the Washington correspondent of the St. Louls Republic and a very de- voted friend of Wilson. We traveled to- other, ate together and slept together, EX-POSTMASTER GENERAL WILLIAM L, WILSON. L e R S f He said that & L S B S R O =™ underclothes—heavy woolen undercloth- ing that he wore during the day and perspired through during hours of speech- making. He was pretty well satisfied that one good washing a week sufficed; he had no idea of the luxury of the bath. My tendency to take cold water outward- ly amused him immensely, and the peel- ing off of all my ‘‘duds” at night and my wearing of night garments he re- garded as a personal invention and to a great extent a personal affectation. One night, when our bed was small and our accommodations very limited indeed, and | he was tired and nervous and could not | sleep, I suggested to him that he might try my plan of rubbing a cold wet towel himself and putting on a nightshirt. He tried it and soon went to sleep. Since been devoted to the night- shirt and has hardly ever met me that he did not expr his gratitude for my “higher education” of him. In fact it might be said that the nightshirt struck Wilson as the game of poker struck the Kentuckian—like the dawn of a new revelation. | siie e ‘Wilson campaigned in very light march- ing order. When he left home his wife habitvally put a clean handkerchief in the stern-wheel pocket of his trousers. He made this do duty until he agaln got home—sometimes perhaps for two or three weeks. He hated to bother with a valise, and he regarded a pocketful of papers and data and a tooth brush as about all that civilization and emergency demanded of him to carry. A nail brush that was a part of my equipage and that I made work for a living attracted him. He had never known the use of this article be- fore. He became delighted with it. o } i Wilson was very much in the dumps at the time that Cleveland called him to the Cabinet. A couple of weeks before Ike Grey of Indiana had died and thereby created a_vacancy in the embassy to Mexico, Wilson was a candidate for the ost. He expected to get it and wanted t “mighty bad.” But old Matt Ransom of North Carolina, who had been in_the Senate twenty-four years, had _ been knocked out by the Republicans and Pop- ulists of his State and he succeeded in getting all the Senators to sign a petition to the President asking_for his appoint- ment. He got it, and Wilson was very He talked freely with me at this about the “ingratitude of Cleve- d.” A few weeks later Bissell resigned from the Cabinet and left the postoffice portfolio vacant. It was after midnight when Wilson came to my office. He told me that the President had gppointed him Postmaster General; that he had gone to bed, but his wife reminded him that he owed me a favor, and so he got up to come to tell me about it and give me a “scoop.” I had performed a whole lot of favors for Wilson, and this was the only occasion that he performed a favor for me. Even that time he admitted that his | wife reminded him of it. His mind was not constituted to think of little things like that himself, ?@’,””v""'.’v’."..””f"i”’l"..iO”’i..tb".)’,."."”;’)’O”fii.Ov,f!"’.*fl.".’.’fiU’..’UDVfi’i””.""F'!”.'!’O””i"""’Dl‘,)"".fi”,!" sore., I have not seen Wilson since the 27th of September, 1896. He returned from Europe the day before, and for a week receding my office was crowded with West Virginfans urging me to use my in- fluence with Wilson ‘“not to destroy him- self” by bolting the Chicago ticket.
