in vastly increasing the amount of Mexican

and Elizabeth Walker, OF Frederick
county, Virginia, and great grandson
of Christisn Streit, the first Lutheran
minister Of the Shenandoah Valley.
His primary and academical training
we're bestowed at Winchester and
Morgantown. In 1851 he entered
Washington College, Pennsylvania,
graduating in 1868, receiving the first
honor and delive ring the class valedic.:
tory. Journalism was his choice, and
although he read law yet he never
sought admission to the bar. He was
first connected with q local paper ut
Clarksburg, whittier his father had re.
moved; then in 1865 became editor oil
the Wheeling Register. While thus
editing the leading exponent OF Demo-
cracy in 1868 he was made the nominee

trict, but was defeated by his

H. Duval. In 1870 he located In
Charleston and founded the daily Cott-
risr, which he edited and published for
ten years, making it q powerful politi-
cal force in the Democratic party OF the
State. In 1876 he was the principal
candidate, during the legislature, for
election to the United States Senate,
but was, after a protracted struggle,
beaten in caucus by one majority.
Afterwards, in 1873 and 1880, he ran for
Congress in the Third district, against

finish the ware ready for the lear 80

orator. Journalist and Politician.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Sept. 2O.-The
news of the sudden death Of ex,secre-
tary OF State Walker, which occurred at
the Colonade hotel, Philadelphia, yes
terday afternoon at 4 o'clock, was re-
ceived here with expressions of pro-
found sorrow. The news was unexpect-
ed as he had been i'll but two days, and
was caused by his old heart trouble, q
disease which has before attacked him
with such violence as to cause the
gravest apprehension among his friends
Mr.. Walker has been travelling in the
East for moro than two months past at
tending to some business matters and
was stricken in Philadelphia on
Tuesday. His condition was not
considered serious by his son,
who was at his bedside and who
sent a telegram to that effect to
Mrs. Walker but a few hours before his
death. This did not satisfy Mrs. Wal
ker, however, who felt great anxiety
over her husbands illness and the very
hour he died she took train for Phila-
delphia without receiving the sad news.
The remains left Philadelphia this
morning for Charleston, where the in
terment will take place.
