WEAl VIRGINIA POLITICS.

AH Alleged Meeting In baltimore to Net.
tie the ScnntOrinl Succession.
Washington specia! to the Cincinnati Enquirer Of
saturday.
There was quite notable and significant
gathering oi West Virginia politicians ut
barnnms hotel in Baltimore TO-DAY, it is
supposed for the purpose Of setting up
the pins preliminary TO the return OF Henry
q. Davis TO the United States Senate. Mr..
Davis term will expire on the 18th Of March
next, and his successor will be appointed
at The next session OF the Legislature which
meets i'll Wheeling in January. Mr.. Davis
has, until the result Of the October cleo.
tons, given out the impression that he
would not become candidate for re.elec.
lion at the expiration Of his present term;
that his private business interests had
rown 10 such enormous proportions that
they would require all his timc and per-
sonal attention. 1t is understood, however,
that Mr.. Davis has changed his mind, and
that he now regrets having made the dec
lAsation that he woali retire from political
life next spring. It is now alleged that he
will eudeayor to succeed himself, and he
and his friends and strikers have quietly
begun to work with that end in view.
1t was Tor this purpose, it is said, that
the managers OF the "old ring" so.callcd,
in Wc,:' virginia, met in Baltimore to-day
,osurvey the situation and lay plans to
capture The Senatorial prize for Mr. Davis.

was attended by sanntor Davis himself;
