ascertain how pronounced this senti-
ment may be for my election to this
important and honorable Office until this
time; but now. this encouragement has
become so increased and persistent that

to the end that any Democrat in the

advise and give me an expression of bis
views relative to my candidacy.
No one is more keenly alive than

rest upon the Legislature of West Vir-

the vital questions (which I shall not
attempt to discuss here) that must be
solved, which will have a far reaching
effect upon the prosperity of our people
for generation or more.
1t will be conceded that the next
Senator should be from Hampshire
