FOR GOVERNOR.
Col. ThOs. ID. Davis, of Mineral
COUNTY,.

Col. Thos. ID. Davis, of Mineral
County.
Col. Thomas b. Davis, of Miner
al, has been nominated for Govern
or. His boom was launched on the
turbulent political seas last week
1t was the upshot of an impromptu
conference Of Democratic Senators
and Delegates. The suggestion
was made in casual way, and it
was received enthusiastically. Ev-
cry Democrat to whom the matter
has been mentioned, has fallen in
to line. If the Democrats in the
Legislature were to select Guber-
Material candidate to-day he would
undoubtedly be Col. "Tom." He
is successful business man, and a
prudent, economical business adj
ministration of the affairs of the
State would be splendid platform
in the next election. He is not al
lied to any faction in the party.
Personally, he is extremely popular,
and he possesses in marked degree
the knack of making friends of all
with whom he is thrown in contact.
Col. Davis has never sought po-
litical honors. He at first opposed
his own nomination in Mineral
county. His election in that Re
publican stronghold is testimon-
ial to his popularity, and an evil
dence of tho degree of confidence
which the people at his own home
repose in him. 81 have been fiat
tered by this suggestion on the part
of my Democratic friends," he said
to the Register man, "but really [
am not seeking political honors,
and the election is a great distance
off"
Col. II. B. Davis furnishes an ex-
ample of what energy and pluck
may accomplish, if directed in the
the proper channel. Like his
brother, ex-Uuited States Senator
Henry G, Davis, he was poor boy,
and was employed in railroad work.
He did not have the advantage of
collegiate training, and the polish
which afiluence and luxury give;
but he possessed what is worth
infinitely more in this practical age,
sterling American "grit" Perhaps
his opportunities were Unusual
when he attained his minority, but
he was sufficiently shrewd to recog-
nize them, and wise enough to take
advantage of them. He is a self
made man. He deserves whatever
measure of success he has achieved.
ae now has extensive coal interests
has been associated in some inter
prises with his brother, and is prob
ably worth. more than a million.
There, is no better Gubernatorial
material in the Democratic party
in West Virginia Wheeling Reg
lister.
