Reasons Back Of Compromise.

The democrats had to concede the presi-
dency and the Hearne-Caldwell contest
to insure against quibbling over the legal
ity of the credentials Messrs Watson and
Chiffon would present in Washington. No
redistricttng, unpopular to the republicans,
may now he looked for. Likewise, there
will be a dizziness to the threatened demo-
cratic probe into various state institu-
tfons The democrats, under Senator
MacCorkle's leadership. will go on record,
nevertheless, for a reduction in Offices
and economy generally.
The liquor question entered into the
state senate peace pact. President Hat
field Is a so-called wet man. Senator
England. the republican caucus nominee
for the position, and favored by Gov.
Glasscock for 1t, is a dry man. The If
teen republican senators stood seven for
Hatfield and eight for England, or wet
and dry on that basis, as the facts may
be construed. The democratic leaning to-
ward Hatfield may be significant OF that
party's liberal attitude on the perplexing
question.
Gov Glasscock's recommendations to
the legislature in his biennial message
covered pretty nearly everything in the
calendar. He emphasized a prohibition
amendment. tax on natural gas. a pri-
mary law. public service commission, free
text books for the schools. anti-lobbyist
BILL. abolition Of the county criminal
courts, federal income tax and various
measures mostly Of local interest.

One Explanation Given.

There has been considerable specula-
ton over the causes entering into Den
hams reappointment, and the latest is
that 1t was in answer to Senator Elkins
dying request, as voiced by his son,
Senator Davis Ellkins. to both President
Taft and Gen. Hitchcock. Those re-
sponsible for this explanation declare
Senator Scott did nothing more than
comply. Whether the dying request ex-
PLANTATION will be accepted generally will
depend on the extent Of subsequent con-
firmation or denial, but 1t is the story
being quietly circulated.
In this connection 1t is Of particular
interest to note that Representative
Hubbard threatens to unbosom himself
extensively as soon as his term ends
Those close to him predict he will say
things which will add to the political
gayety. Unable to have his recon-
mendations for postmastership changes
at Fairnaont and Clarksburg, Mr.. Hub
bard will not ask for action in the other
changes he had recommended at Mounds
willie, Warrington and other towns.

WHEELING, w. Va, February 4. 1911
The political complications and de-
velopments at the state capital have
not entirely overshadowed the interest
manifested In the official announcement
that Postmasters Denham and Fleming
were to be retained. respectively, as
postmasters at Clarksburg and Fair
mont For two years. owing to the
hight put up to remove them by Rep
resentattve Hubbard. their cases at
tracted considerable attention, which
was accumulated by the story that Den
ham was in the good graces Of Post
master General Hitchcock. by reason of
an alleged agreement in return for help
ing to deliver the West Virginia dele
cation to Taft.
Hubbard cited his failure to have Den
ham. in particular. supplanted by
man OF his recommendation. as his chief
reason for opposing Senator Scott and
his followers throughout the senatorial
primary campaign, and endeavored to make
political capital on that score. Hub
bard almost had Denham's scalp once
on the charge Of pernicious political
activity. Denham was the chief man
he was after in the old Dovener brigade
OF postmasters in the first district, and
1t Is stated he attacked him savagely
in a hearing before the state central
committee, Of which the ClArksburg
man Is an active member.

Democrats Have Their Troubles.

Down at Charleston the democrats
have been having troubles of their own,
more or less gratifying to republican
onlookers, who might otherwise be un-
duly cast down by turmoil In their own
ranks. Half dozen democratic indie
pendents, or insurgents, led incidentally
by Nelson c. Hubbard. the republican
representatives son, refused to the last
of the various ballots to vote for
Clarence w. Watson. candidate for the
short term to succeed Elkins. and Will
succeed Senator Scott.
It must be admitted that to degree
this little band reflected a spirit among
a large number of the rank and file.

selection. The opposition to Chiffon
has been much less, and practically the
opposition to him has been only be-

Republicans Scatter Their Votes.

The republicans did not caucus and
scattered their votes for favorite sens.
Senator Scott had the bulk for the long
term and Isaac L. Mann for the other.
Davis Elkins also got a good number
OF complimentaries, likewise W. P. Hub
bard. The republicans believe they will
capture the legislature In 1912, and Isaac
T. Mann promises to forge to the front
as the main aspirant for senatorial
toga. Davis Elkins may take hand, but
there is no positive evidence that he will
do so. and by many his candidacy is not
considered seriously. However, he has
ayailed himself Of his senatorial privileges
to frank to West Virginia voters goodly
punches Of garden seeds in the last few
weeks.
The legislature is working smoothly as
the result Of the compromise arrived at
between the democrats and the republic
can senatorial exiles. DR.. Hatfield, re-
publican, Is president Of the senate. He
was the republican preferred by the DEM
ocrats when they could not get the repub-
Ncan senator's to come in for demo-
cratic presiding officer. The Hearne-
Caldwell contest will be aired before
committee, Hearne in the meantime having
the seat Everybody expects Hearne to
retain his seat, in which event Caldwell
will have only the consolation of having
stretched his legs under Hearne's desk
for the few days that the democrats had
the senate chamber all to themselves.
