THE VEST VIRGINIA SENATORSHIP.

THE DEAD LOCK BROKEN-ALLEN T. CAPERT0N
CHOSEN UNITED STATES sENAToR-THE WALKER
MEN OFF THEIR GUARD-sKETCH OF THE sENA-
TOR-ELECT.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. Feb. 17.-Alen T. Caperton
of Union, Monroe County, was to-day elected by
the Legislature in joint session. United States Sena-
tor to succeed ex-GOv. BOreman, the present Sena-
tor from this State. The election of Mr.. Caperton
took everybody, including himself, by surprise, as
his chances had already been considered inferior to
those of the other candidates. The session found
the Walker men wholly off their guard. They, an
ticipating no election were giving Judge Moore of
the State Supreme Court complimentary vote, as
thew did Yesterday to State Senator McGinns. 1t
was understood that the election was to be delayed
I'm tll the action of Gov. Jacob on the Capital be-
moval bill was made public; but rumor was origi-
mated and whispered through the Joint Assembly
that the Governor had signed the bill-which was
untrue-ani the election of Mr.. Caperton imme-
diaely followed 1t required 43 votes to elect; Ca
perton received IS the rolca of the second bal
lot; but before the announcement of the vote 80
members changed their votes in Caperton's favor,
making his total 6S.
Mr. CapertOn was born in Monroe County, Va, in
1911 He is therefore CA years old. He is man of
unimpeachable character and fine education,
model of dignity and Of great and acknowledged
legal ability; 1aultess IN ureSs, handsome In per-
son, and in every way an accomplished man of the
world. flowing snow-whte beard reaches to his
waist, and gives patriarchal cast to his appear
ance. He was graduated from Yale College in 1882,
and was Senator in the Confederate Congress at
Richmond in 1863 He is a strong Southern man in
principle, but his breadth of opinion and high
character as citizen secure him undivided
respect When the news of his election was carried
to him at his room at the Hale House. he was first
astounded, then nearly overcome with emotion. He
was congratulated by many friends, including
| Walker and Camden, defeated candidates Joint
Legislative Committee, consisting of Senators Cam
den and McGinnis, and Delegates Blakemore, Welch,
and Schon, waited upon the Senator-elect and in
formed him of his election. Mr.. Caperton was not
the nominee of the caucus, his name having been
dropped. There was grand demonstration at the
Hale House to-night-a serenade by Gates's Silver
Cornet Band, and speeches by Mr.. Caperton and
! others.

Several people have suggested to TIE NEW

French well IN English, for the reason that
there decaoy in French wit that cannot DO trans

truth III this, but not so much as Nr Sn0D ana Mrs
Shoddy would have people believe. The English Ian
guage is pretty good vehicle for thought, and whN
cannot be expressed through IL wen be left un-
