CHARLESTON. W.. Va, April 2S.-Tho
political sensation Of tho week has been
tho moro or less authoritative statcmont
that Hon. John D. Aldcraon would not
mako an effort to succeed himself in
Congress, believing that tho fates arc
against tho Democratic party this wear.
Tho original statement to this effect
came from ono very near to Mr.. Alder.
Bon, but came as IN opinion, not rs
a positive fact. Many refuse to credit
1t, thinking it merely q ruso TO call at.
tcntion in another direction, while
others believe it in toto.
A prominent Grecubricr county
Democrat says that Anderson, after hav-
ing served. three tcrms in Congress,
doesn't want to 90 in and DO "knocked

Judge G. P. Snyder, Of tho kanawhn
county criminal COURT is not in the leas,
averso to taking it. while Col. Joseph
L. Chiffon is also spoken Of in tho Same
connection. There are several who arc
''wiliin'," but it does not seem likely
that there will DO an unseemly
scramble for the Democratic congress
sional nomination this year, which is
more than can DO said most years.
Another Republican knight has on.
tered tho lists in the person OF Hon.
Eugene Ellicott, OF Logan county, and
from all appearances he is likely to
make q vigorous campaign for Mr.. al.

Abram Burlew has not decided his in

likely that his friends will push him
forward. At present he and Col. uulinp

mentioned in this connection. Major
McGinnis is not inclined to make an
effort to secure tho nomination, but is
quite willing to accept it ii rendered

While a walk-over is not expected, all
tho gentlemen mentioned feel that the
chances are favorable to tho Republican
nominee, and either will 20 into the
fight with the intention OF making an

South OF the kanawha the feeling is
that tho holding OF the convention a,

Candidates for members OF the house
