Shee han ss the party candidate for Unit ed Stales senator. Mr. Huppuch ad ded that he issued this statement af ter consulting a majority of the members of the committee heads and tnat it expressed their views. Just when the members of the leg islature were beginning to return to Albany to renew the struggle over who is to be Senator Depew's suc cessor this statement worked a sud den change In the situation which was expected to lie dormant until the Joint assembly took its fifth Joint ballot tomorrow.

Shepard said, when shown a copy at the opinion, "One good thing about this contest is that it is bringing everybody Into the open." Friends of Mr. Osborne and Mr. Bheperd explained this declaration by eying to those familiar with the situation that Mr. Huppuch's state ment was bo surprise. He has said all along that he was for Mr. Shee han," said one of them, "now we know it."

Chilton to Cincinnati, was for the purpose of getting us to call off our exile and return to that state In order to elect his brother and Mr. Watson the Unit ed States senators from West Vir ginia. However, the visit was with out the desired effect. We told him, as we have told several other repre sentatives of the democratic poli ticians in West Virginia, that we shall remain here until such a time as Governor Glasscock wishes us to re turn. Whether that time is the 27th of February or tomorrow it matters very little to me. In matters of this kind, we will abide by the de cision of Governor Glasscock, who Is on the ground, rather than the rep resentatives of the democrats.
