eighty-frst year, is as spry as a man
of sixty. and u good deal sprier than
many. He was delegate to the recent
national convention and member of
the committee ON resolutions. He was
chosen as a member of the subcommit-
tee that had charge Of the platform,
and he stayed up all night during the
deliberations of that committee at the
Southern hotel. When he went to the
Jefferson hotel at noon the next day
/ he did not appear fatigued, and he told
I his friends he could stand another
twenty -four hours of 1t as well as not.
/ He favored thR insertion of a gold
plank in the platform. When his
name was being considered by the na-
1 tional convention there was some ques-
\ ton as TO whether he supported Bryan
/ in 1896 and 1900. Chairman Jones of
I the Democratic national committee put
/ 1t at rest by saying that In 1896 Sena-
tor Davis presided at Bryan meeting
in West Virginia and voted for Bryan.
At that time Senator Davis was en-
gagged in building railroad and had q
large obligation at bank which he
desired to renew. When he went to
the bank the president said:
Il understand you presided at a
Bryan meeting last night"
Yes" said Davis. what of itT'
well" said the bank president,
don't you know that the theories of
Bryan are opposed to all the financial
institutions in this country l do not
see how you can come to this bank or
any other for favors, holding the views
that You do"
DO you mean to say" asked Davis,
that the fact rhat | remain loyal to
the Democratic party makes any diff
ference with my credit?
Not at ALL" said the bank presi-
dent But we are not inclined to do
any favors for such people"
This is no favor to me-" said Davis.
81 am simply carrying this obligation
as business transaction, and If you
don't want to renew 1t I'll pay it now
and withdraw my patronage from the
| bank"
The bank president grew alarmed at
this. because Senator Davis is heavily
interested in financial operations in
West Virginia. and he begged Davis to
| reconsider. Davis would not recon
slider. He paid the obligation in cash
that afternoon and cut that bank OF
his list of business connections.
Senator Davis is many times a mill
| lionaire. He has been an enthusiastic
German man ever since the canvass
for the Democratic nominee in 1904
began. At one time he said he would
spend n million dollars TO secure the
nomination Of German. and it was no
mere idle boast, because he had the
| money and would spend 1t.
Personally, Senator Davis is an af-
fable, genial man, democratic and mod
est. He does not look his years. and to
the casual observer he would appear
10 be not more than sixty five. He Is
more than six feet tall. erect and
straight as in the days Of his youth.
His shoulders are square. He Is well
muscled. He has a springy heel and
toe walk. There is not the slightest
evidence of any loss OF mental or bodi-
ly vigor.
His face features are regular and
bold. His nose is aquiline. His eyes
are gray and sharply penetrating. but
withal kindly in expression and set
wide apart. His face is not deeply
furrowed, though fine wrinkles appear
about the eyes. His beard of snowy

In 1877, when he was twenty-five, the
Democrats of Ulster county nominated
him for surrogate of the county. He
was elected for six year term and in
lSS3 was reelected.
In 1884 he was delegate to the
convention at Chicago that nominated
Grover Cleveland for president, and he
helped to pull the candidate through
in the hotly contested campaign of
that year. Cleveland was elected, and
in January he turned over to Lieuten-
ant Governor Hill the uncompleted
term Of office he was obliged to sur
render to become president.
Governor Hill was nominated In the
fall. The Democratic party was worn
out with the efforts 1t had made in
the preceding year, its money was ex-
hausted. and Its stock of patience was
growing small.
Hill was urged to select this or that
man to take charge of his interests in
the conduct of the campaign. He, too.
had come to know Parker very well.
and he had clear conviction of his
superior fitness for the difficult posi-
tion to be occupied. He sent to King
ston for Parker, who not only over
came the apathy of his party and dis
regarded the disadvantage of an
empty cash box. but overcame all the
advantages supposed to be enjoyed
by the Republicans and saw his candi-
date victorious by 1000 plurality in
the state in which Cleveland had with
difficulty secured about 100 the year
before.
During the campaign Supreme Court
Justice Theodore r. Westbrook died.
Governor Hill was urged to fill the va
cancy at once. After the election"
was his answer to all pressure. When
the election was over he announced the
appointment of Alton B. Parker to the
judgeship.
In June. 1889. was created the second
division Of the court Of appeals to ac-
ceerate the work of the highest court.
Judge Parker was designated by Gov
ernOr Hill to sit with this new court.
He was only thirty y-seven years of age,
the youngest of all Judges of the court
Of appeals. He sat In this court until
1893. when. upon Its dissolution. he
was appointed by Governor Flower.
urged thereto by many Judges. to be a
member of the general term of the
supreme court of the First district.
Here he remained until the creation Of
the appellate division Of the supreme
court, when he resumed the trial terms
In his own district. In 1897 he was
nominated to be chief justice of the
court Of appeals and was elected by a
plurality of 6O,SS0.
