4 NOT VERY TALKArIvE.
i Inc lSTELIIdESCER representative met
nearly all OF the members OF the com.
mittec, who were present but not many
OF them were talkative enough to COM
NIT themselves 10 any great extent.
They all seemed to see tho handwriting
on the wall and the potentious clouds
A IN the political atmosphere ominous OF
sure defeat ior their party next Novem.
Der. Gen'l G. C. Watts was seen and
was committal enough TO say that he
would probably be candidate for
governor. The tall hickory OF tho Kama
4 Tha also winkcd his off eye and said
that J. D. Anderson would be the next
Democratic candidate for Congress in
Inc Third district. Ho thought that
C;!apehart would be the nominee in this
district, Pendleton in the First district
anu Wilson in the Second. Judge G. P.
snyder was too busy to talk, but it is
understood that he is for Camden for
the United States Senate.
speaking OF the senate, Chas. James
f,allSncr is here and is an avowcd can.
Gldatc TO succeed himself in that BODY.
senator Camden is in the city, but is not
YET able TO be out and was not ut the
meeting OF the executive committee.

aSTivc as even n newspaper man

T.. Aanawha, for governor, and isn't
goiAeying much about anybody else,
M0agh he said that Col. Rowan. OF
HoHfoe county, would bo tho Dcmocra.
