WASHINGTON, April 14.-Your corrss
pondent having observed the name OF Mr..
Holly G. Armstrong, Of jackson county,
w. Va, mentioned in connection with the
office of State Auditor, and also learning
that there was quite feeling and DISPOSE
ton among his friends here to make him q
candidate for the Office, met Mr.. Armstrong
this evening aud asked him if he was aware
that his name was being used and spoken
OF as u candidate for Auditor.
eyes, heard that it was, and have re-
esived a number of letters from different
sections of the State, from some of my
friends and prominent Democrats, regard
ing the same, and / confess / feel very
proud in being spoken of as a probable
candidate for the nomination Of Auditor Of
my State"
"Mr. Armstrong, have you concluded
whether you will be candidate?"
IL have not, and satil this matter came
up, and with it the mention of my name,
had never thought Of being candidate.
have never asked my party TO favor or
make me their candidate fo- any Office.
What political life / have experienced has
been in a very quiet and modest way, and
all my aspirations in political sense have
been for the political preferment of my
friends. am now holding the position of
Chief of the Stamp Division of the Internal
Revenue Bareau, Treasury Department.
still, do not hesitate to confess it would
he much more preferable and desirable ON
my part To he at home among the people Of
my native State; bat, while this ia true,
cannot say that | will be a candidate, and
do not desire to be considered so, unless it
is the pronounced wish Of my party to
make me candidate.
How long have you held your present
positioD?"
81 was appointed in May 1886"
"What do yOn think of the political sit
uatiOn of your State?"
From what can gather / am free to
say that ia my opinion the situation is
thoroughly Democratic. By this | mean
that West Virginia will give the National
Democratic and State ticket this fall from
five to eight thousand majority"
81 hear considerable doubts expressed
as to your elccting a Democratic Legisla
ture in your State this fall"
81 strongly suspect that such doubtful
expressions come from Republican politi-
clans alone; they usually carry our State
five or elk months before the election, but
it is always found after the votes are polled
and the elections are over the results show
a liberal and handsome Democratic major
ity. and in the election this fall you will
see no change unless it is in an increased
majority, and you can safely rely on West
Virginia not only giving the National
Democratic and State ticket q handsome
majority, but will also elect Legislature
that will elect Democratic United States
Senator.

too short to stop the train, and the child
was run over and killed, being literally torn

brought to stop as soon as possible and
