The Lieutenant Governorship of his State is said to have been offered to him more than once, but if it was he declined it, preferring to stick to his chosen profession, the bar or bench. In 1891 he was tendered the nomination for Governor of New York by a num- ber of gentlemen who represented the | several wings of the Democratic party in his State, but he declined. Many other opportunities were of- fered to him for place in State or na- tional administration, high up, at that, but he always stuck to his choice of early manhood, and contented himself with the best his own State offered in his own particular line. PEET PP SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN. Vice Presidential Candidate Holds Honored Position in West Virginia. WASHINGTON, July 10—Henry Gassaway Davis of West Virginia is one of the big men of the country in business and financial interests. He is an old-time politiclan and a warm per- scnal and political friend and business associate of Senator Gorman. Davis also has the distinction of being the father-in-law of that ardent Repub- lican United States Senator, Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia. Davis is one of West Virginia’s big four and had the boom of Senator Gor- man developed to any extent it was Davis who had been selected to man- | age it. It has been understood for some weeks that Davis was to be the Democratic standard-bearer in the forthcoming gubernatorial fight in his State. Henry G. Davis was born in Howard County, Maryland, November 16, 1823, and received only a country school education. At an early age he was left fatheriess and was forced to begin work for his own support, working on a farm until 1843. For fourteen years after that period he was in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, working his way up from brakeman to - station agent at Pledmont, which is now his home. In 1858 Davis began the business of banking and mining coal in and around Piedmont and became one of the most successful business men and capitalists in his home State. He projected and carried on to success the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Rallroad, of which road he Is president. Davis is the largest individual coal miner iIn West Virginia and is largely interested in the manufacture of lum- ber. He is also president of the Pled- mont and Cumberland Railroad and of the Davis National Bank of his home town. The first political office ever held by Davis was that of member of House of Delegates in 1865. He was next elected State Senator, serving from 1867 to 1869. He, was elected to the United States Senate to succeed W. T. Wiley, Republican, and took his seat March 4, 1871, and served until March 4, 1883, declining re-election. Davis has been a delegate to six national conventions, including ones in New York in 1868 and in Baltimore in 1872 ‘When the delegates to the Pan- American Congress were selected Davis was made one of them. He is a mem- ber of the Intercontinental Railway Commission. ———————— SOLANO POLITICIANS WILL CONVENE AT SUISUN licans and Democrats to Hold County Conventions Next Month. SOLANO, July 9.—The Republican County Central Committee has issued a call for a primary election to be held throughout the county on August 9 to choose delegates to a county conven- tion to be held on August 12 for the purpose of placing in nomination can- didates for State Senator, Assembly- man and Supervisors. At a meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee held here yesterday it was decided to hold the county convention on August 27. Can- didates for State Senator, Assembly- man and Supervisors will be nomi- nated. FLINT HOPES T0 WEAR TOGA Former United States Dis- trict Attorney Ambitious to Succeed Senator Bard i B A Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, July 9.—Frank P. Flint, former United States District Attorney and politically prominent throughout this end of the State, has announced himself as a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Thomas R. Bard. The an- nouncement is the result of the ef- forts by a number of more or less prominent politicians to induce Flint to become a candidate. In the for- mal announcement which he made to- day he recites the fact that he has been tmportuned to become a candi- date and after duly considering the matter he has decided to make the race. In his anouncement he says: “I will make every honorable effort to obtain the support not only of the members of the Legislature from Southern California, but I expect to address the Republicans of the entire State and endeavor to convince them that Southern Cailfornia is entitled to have a Senator from the south and that T am worthy of their favorable consideration. “In making this announcement I deem it proper to say that during the last two years I have been employed by the Southern Pacific Company in general legal business, but in justice to myself and my client I have this day notified the officers of that com- pany that as they have large interests throughout the State and are more or less intimately connected with the Federal Government I must sever the relations that have existed between us, owing to my candidacy, and that I will not accept any employment with that corporation or with any other corporation or individual having any business, directly or indirectly, with the Federal Government. 3 “This means that I sever my con- nection not only with the Southern Pacific Company, but with several other clients. It will thus be appar- ent that in announcing my candidacy for United States Senator I am taking the necessary actions to carry into ef- fect the spirit of the law and to pro- tect fully the Interests of the people of this great State, whom I hope faithfully and honestly to represent in the United States Senate and by my acts try to maintain the confidence and esteem not only of those men who have asked me to be a candidate, but of all the people of California.” —_—— Roadhouse License Law Defeated. SANTA ROSA, July 7.—The pe- tion presented last month to the Su- pervisors asking them to pass an or- dinance restricting the issuance of li- censes to roadhouses was defeated to- day, three votes being recorded against it.
