PRESIDENT FARNswoRTH FOR SENATOR.
II has occurred to number OF the friends
OF President Farnsworth that, as the situa'
ton Is hopcIeSsly entauGled, and II the eau
Gus results in any candidate being endorsed,
It will be through the influence Of the worst
elements money and the railroad interest,
there is a probability that movement might
be started in favor OF the President which
would result In uniting in his support
enough OF the higher minded Democrats, with
the major portion OF the minority
10 elect him Senator. 1t Is urged
on behalf OF this idea that he Is an able and
popular man, and would make clean and
strong candidate in open session In the event
of the caucus failing to nominate, OF which
there now seems 10 be strong probability.
With this in view, respectable number OF
the Presidents admirers are gravPly consider
ing the adyitability OF remaining out OF the
caucus.
While the President is taking no part in
this movement, it Is believed that his friends
are acting in the matter with his knowledge.
There are several men In both houses who
are convinced that he would represent the
State IN the highest Council OF the Nation
with credit and ability, and actuated by a de.
sire TO secure harmony, and send desirable
man 10 the Senate, they are advocating his
GLAZING.
Mr. UoTELER.
There are some other Democrats, actuated
by pure II somewhat partisan motives, who
in looking over the field for man whose
ability and high character would recon-
mend him to well disposed voters OF all par
ties. have seized upon the accidental pres.
ence OF Hon. A. Il. Boteler in the city to Gre
ate A diversion in his favor. Mr.. BOtelor's
visit at this time has no political significance
whatever. He comes TO attend the meeting
of the West Virginia Historical Society, be-
fore which he delivered his pleasing and ad'
mirabIe address on James Rumsey last Fri
day evening. At the game time Mr.. Botel-
ers eminent ability and his high
standing suggest the strength OF
bis candidacy, and the desirability Of his
election. He has many admirers, who would
be highly pleased to see him In body
where he would be such distinguished
honor to the State, and who believe that II
hjs name we're proposed in the joint session
Of the Legislature he would command con.
siderable support.
