Baltimoiik, Dec. 27.?Hon. Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, whose visit to President-elect Harrison has caused ho much speculation among the politicians of both parties, returned to hi" hotel in this city Tuesday evening. Not .withstanding the many reports circulate! tlit; contrary, Mr. Davis insists that hit* visit was purely of asocial eliarirter. For many years Mrs. Harrison ! un<! Mrs. Davis havobeen quite intimate, while .Mr. Davis' acquaintance dutes back ? to the time the two gontloiuou were mem* Ihth of the United States .Senate. Mr. Davis' daughters aro also great friends of Mrs. MeKec, the only daughter of the President-elect, having become acquaint- 1 .

Although Ex-Senator I >;ivis <>i?l nut arrive iii Indianapolis until ' after midnight, (Jeneral Harrison's car- ' riage was in uniting to convey hitn to the GeiieraPs house. There lie was met t hy President-elect and Mrs. Harrison, " who remained up to receive him. During his tiireo days' stay in indiananolis J Senator i'avis was almost constantly in ' company with the General, with whom r he hud many long and interesting talks. ( The subject <?f most of these conversa- ? tions naturallv drifted to matters eon- ?

While Mr. Davis declined to express an opinion as to whether or not Mr. JJlaine would be tendered a Cabinet position, lie did say that General Harrison regards him as the loading statesman oi this country, and a man to whom too much honor cannot be paid. Mr. J>avi? himself, although differing from Mr. Blaine politically, thinks the Maine stab-smim the peer of any in his party. Unlike some others, Mr. Davis is uj the opinion that politics has 110 right t" form a barrier, however slight, in social life. The r. <vnt high tribute paid to General A'.'ihis by prominent Confederate otVi'VT.- i??r the interest he has manifested in tin-1 itablishmentof a Confederate Veterans' Homo in Maryland, indicates the kindly feeling toward him of the Southerners.
