Two years before this he and his as

to give his undivided attention to the
railroad and to the mining and market

only severed by death. Equally strong
were some of the friendships he form
ed on his own side OF the chamber, es-
pecially those with Senators Bayari
and Thurman. In the Senate Mr.. Davis
was particularly active In his OPPOSE
ton to the civil rights bill. which was
finally forced through only to be de-
clared unconstitutionly by the Supreme
Court. He was watchful of the inter-
ests of West Virginia, and secured rec
ognition of its waterways in the river
and harbor appropriation bills. His
first extended speech in the Senate was
on a bill to extend the national bank
circulation, and soon after he intro
duced a bill to reduce the tax on State
bank notes.
Notable Work In the Senate.
1t is not generally known that 1t was
largely due to the efforts Of Mr.. Davis
while member of the Senate that the
first legislation was enacted which has
resulted in the Department of Agricul-
ture being brought up to its present
high state of efficiency. In the second
session Of the Forty-third Congress he
was made a member of the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture, and from that
time on until he left the Senate he em-

Explored the Hills and Forests.
Mr.. Davis at an early period realized
the great possibilities of the then en-
tirely undeveloped lands in the Upper
Potomac and Cheat River regions, and
even before the Civil War he had made
some investments in those localities.
After the war, and with the profits OF
the timber sold from the Deer Park
tract, he began to make purchases on a
large scale. Though possessing those
characteristics of the successful bust
ness man that enables him to make use
of the services of others to good ad-
advantage, Mr.. Davis has always
wanted to know at first hand and by
personal investigation everything about
the details of his business. Thus ii
was that he explored all of the re-
gions in which his purchases were
made, travelling on foot and on horse
back. often sleeping at night in the
woods until he was thoroughly ac-
quainted with every detail of the re-
gion. He knew that there was untold
wealth in the hills and in the forests
of this region, and he knew that a
railway was necessary to make 1t
available. Though at that time his
fortune and the. financial assistance he
could command were not enough to i'm
mediately purchase the lands and build
the road, he had confidence enough in
himself to believe that he would ulti-
mately be able to carry through the
great plan he had In mind. He con-
tinued to purchase coal and timber
lands at prices that seem small today
after his energy has opened up the
country and put it within reach of the
worlds markets. He had his reward
years after he made his first purchase
when he was able to gather together
sufficient capital for the construction
of the West Virginia Central and Pitts
burg Railway.

has been intensely interested in politics.
Before the Civil War he was q Wing,
and voted for Henry Clay. whose &C
quaintance he had made when the
great Wing leader had been an &C.
casional passenger on his train while
he was conductor on the Baltimore
and Ohio. Throughout the Civil War
Mr.. Davis was a supporter of the
Union and had friendly business rela-
tions with the government at Wash
ington, furnishing large quantities of
supplies for the army. At the close
of the war he became a member of the
Conservative Union party in West Vir-
ginia, the party from which the Demo-
cratic party in that State has been de-
veloped. He soon took an active part
in politics. and was elected on the Con-
servative Union ticket as a member
of the lower house of the
West Virginia legislature, taking
his seat in the session of 1866.
His knowledge of business affairs
led to his being appointed a member of
the Committee on Commerce and
Finance. After one term in the House
Mr.. Davis was elected to the State Sem
ate, and was reelected two years later.
The new State of West Virginia was
just being fairly launched on its ca

The Morning News story continues:
The statement now about to be pub
lished by the Union Republicans shows
evidence that the Delaware Regulars
never received any official notice Of any
character from the national chairman,
that he never sent a call, that tho only
way they ever got one with which to

from the Union Republican leaders In
the conduct Of the coming campaign
and OF the possibility OF having their
schemes published In a paper that calls
itself reputable.

have declared to the world that the

His FIRST seizure was In December last,
