| WASHINGTON, December 22.-The West
Virginia SenatorshIp is assuming shape,
and is much talked of here. People from
that State are passing and repassing daily,
the proximity of the State to the National
Capital bringing Washington in for large
share OIL local and neighborhcod news from
that quarter. The general current
| Of all this talk puts Congressman Kenna
| strongly in the lead, and indicates his nom-
inatiOn at an early period of the Demo-
cratic caucus. His opponents evidently
see his advantage, and to break its force
| some one has distributed anonymous cir
| culars throughout the State and among
members Of the Legislature, in which
Mr.. Kenna Is Charged
with bad faith to his constituents in seek
ing Senatorial promotion from the House,
and the bitter sorrows of a special election
to fill his seat in the next House in case of
his promotion are piteouSly depicted. The
circular has also reached Washington. It's
issue is an acknowledgment Of the strength
OF the candidate whom it seeks to de-
stroy.
kenna is recognized as a vigorous, active,
masuline man, bold in the advocacy of his
honest convictions and fearless in
the discharge of his public du-
ties. 1t has been many year since
any man of his youth made this
impression he has upon the deliberations
of Congress, and he has many strong at
tachments among its members. In the re-
cent election his majority was largely in
creased, and his district came near being
all that was left of the
West virginia DemoeraSv
This fact has caused a feeling among
many Democrats that the best interests OF
the party require his promotion to the
Senate, and left little room to doubt
that the people of his State, appre-
ciating the opportunity, will advance
him accordingly. The election to fill
the vacancy would be held at such time as
the West Virginia Governor might see 6t
TO designate, and doubtless day would be
selected some time in the open weather Of |
the coming spring, when the Democracy
could go out without getting it's feet wet, |
and select Democrat to succeed him in |
the House. |
