Carr the Senator from Kanawha, whose
name has been oitener mentioned in
these parts during tho past two weeks
than that Of the President Of the United
States or the President.elect, haS at last
been elevated to the Presidency Of the
State Senate, a position upon which he
has had his heart set aud from which
desire no pressure ut any time could
turn him. II has been u remarkable
contest this; one man, aided by u friend
who WIS true TO him but not aggressive,
coalenlins with twCnty'four men for u
prize which twenty.four men did not
wish him to have and finally receiving
fifteen votes Of these and ComplaCently
looking on while the representatives OF
two great political parties fell over each
other in mad scramble to be the first

Captain Bob Carr. lie lnade the
fight, saw bis lines broken about 1875
times during the taking Of the l9G bal.
lOtS,more than once admitted bis defeat,
but never quite lost heart, aud was
always ready for new tusslo. Since
the beginning Of tho contest, which
practically dates from the Saturday be-
fore the opening Of the Legislature, he
has had more dickers and deals with
Democrats and Republicans than any
other man in West Virginia could ex.
pcct to have in u life time without going
crazy,
lie is A REPUBLICAN TRUE.
lie haS always preferred to negotiate
with the Republicans because hC Is a
Republican, but II Republicans would
not negotiate on his terms he gave them
fair warning that he would deal with
the Democrats II they would tako up
with him. AS often as one deal was Off
he was ready to Jump hopefully into
another, rarely losing his bouyancy Of

Carr Is Ia man Of robust physique and
black curly hair, and do not know
whether to attribute his triumph to the
physical endurance or to the curly black
hair, which, topped of with soft felt
hat, gives the Hanawha Senator rakish
appearance that attracts men to him as a
good fellow personally, no matter how
much OF wormtence he makes In poll.
tics when a little matter Of personal
pride is satstake. Ashard as he has been
fought In this struggle he comes out Of

against him, for he llas been courteous
and Kind all the way through. 1t Is
some Index to tho character OF this much
