Base Ball Club-The West Virgin
ians at the Different Hotels.
Hon. Thos. E. Davis. of Grafton, au-
tographed at the Mcclure yesterday.
Mr.. Davis was the Republican candi-
date for Governor in 1892, and was de-
feated by VIM. A. MacCorkle. He
made an excellent run, and there are a
great many Republicans throughout
the State who think he should be the
nominee again this year. Republicans
profess to think their chances for car
rying West Virginia this year are
brighter that ever before, and MI Da-
Wis has many political friends who
think he should have the Gubernatorial
nomination as a matter of right. He
is not a candidate for the Office, how
ever.
When a Register reporter asked him
a question about the Candidates for the
GubernatOrial nomination, Mr.. Davis
replied that G. w. AtkinsOn's name is
heard most frequently in Taylor and
other counties in the second district.
who is the choice of the Republ
cans of the Second district for the Pres
idency?' asked the reporter.
Mckinley was the reply. "Sena-
tor Elkins lives in our dictrict. and if
he is % candidate our people will be for
him in preference to any other man.
With -Ikins out of the race. Mckinley
undoubtedly has the largest following.
although Reed has many ardent adj
mirers in that section of the State.
The chances were never more favor
able for Republican victory in West
Virginia than this year. but we will
have hard fight. as I think the Dem
OcratS OF ;his State WCdld rather lose
the Presidency than West Virginia"
Secretary Kerr. of the Pittsburg base
ball club was at the McLure last night
