CHARLESTON, W, VAp Jan. 9O,-sena
Tor Eenna's name is Cock Robin, unless
miss my guess, The little bows andar
rows have been numerousand used will
falling effect. The archers who are
cloImips tho credit arc largely Third
district men who once threw up theil
cars for Kenna and regarded him as the
one altogether lovely,
The Democratic Senatorial caucus
which before the meeting Of tho Legisla
turo | took the liberty to salute rs one
about to die, Is already inferred, and the
moprDers made short SHIFT Of the same,
seyen solemn Democrats said they
wonlln't sisu the caucus call aud they
didn't Iess than seven was the mar.
oin but one Und maybe none would
nave done this business. There are
more NOR who desired Senator Konna's de.
iqat but they could not 90 the length oi
breaking tho caucus. Some who took
tLs yieS. were Of those who, two years
aVo bOIted the caucus and established
t6e 6epobIeOrlcr Of the Twelve Apostles in
the politics Of West Virginia. This
order has how been disbanded, because
some Of It's members desire closer rela.
tions with the party management and
because some Of them think that by
Voinp in now they will emphasize their
protest Of two years ago, which Is not q
selteyilrnt proposition. The anu.
caucus men Of to-day charge inConSist-
ency upon those who kicked over the
traces two yeaB ago and have now
kicked back. They ray that rs between
Camden and Kenna the Wood
county statesman who was left
over in the deal Of two years ngo
Is much to be preferred. With
this view Mr. Candcn's friends entirely
agree aud they have, therefore, done
their best to encourage its circulation,
Governor Wilson'S friends and the
friends Of all other aspirants except
Eenna, take tho same lofty position.
A CONFERENCE. -
The seven solemn Democrats who
wouldn't have a caucus said n confer.
enco would be about thcright thing, and
last night they were politely accommo.
dated. The proceedings were entirely
harmonious, though there were some
absenteCs. The situation was discussed
with come freedom, Mr.. Kenna's friends
pursuing n COnCillatory course. They
were, however, unable 10 approve the
proposition that n nomination
lor United States Senator should
be made by u twoihirds vote
Instead Of lnerC majority, for that
would kill HCnna as etlcctually Us any
other way. The bearings Of this obser.
walton lie in is application to those men
who signed the caucus call, but still
want to defeat Henna, II it ran be done
without boiling. There will DO another
conference tomorrow night to sec what
eau be done. Present Indications all
point TO no nomination, and In Its stead
aaght in the open session Of the Joint
convention, which will be uncommonly
lively, aud, as Il looksnOw, Is anybody's
hght Republicans are signing a call iOr
Senatorial caucus to be held tomorrow
night Gen, GOtl will receive the Re.
publican vote, because he Is tile man
the Republicans want II they can gel
The Democratic programme Is to bal
lot for Senator In each house on Tuesday
next aud on Wednesday in Joint con,
venIlOn. They think the Republicans
will take the position that an election al
mat time would not be good because The
senate is not organized. When tho bal,
loting 6eginsthc Republicans will be ii
their places watching the Eroceedingt
atevery point. They arc somewhat III,
terested themselves.
