RAILROAD MATTERS" 1T would seem from
the following paragraph in the last Rockbridge
Citizen that the ague and depression with which
Lexington was affected short time since, have
been succeeded by fever and nervous excitement.
The Citizen says:
''Our town is filed with people connected with
the Railroad as contractors, laborers, &C. We
understand that Major McMahon intends to
work upon his section 1000 hands, and Col Har-
man an equal number below town.
Things look lively, quite stir among the doc
tors; one would think that the medicine men saw
a chance to make. This is one branch of oar in
dust7y we had not thought of being developed
by the Railroad; now if the Preachers can get
job all classes OF our citizens will be accommo-
dated. The Preachers follow the Doctors.''

RocKBRIDaE. September 5th 1877

RocKBRIDaB, September 5th, 1873
Why did Mr.. Turk, of Highland, refuse to
represent mis- county in the Senatorial Conven-
ton, after having announced publicly that he
had been sent there for that purpose? The con.
vention having proceeded to inquire into his
credentials, decided, with great unanimity, that
said credentials did not authorize Mr.. Turk to
participate in said convention ard consequent
ly, declined to admit him. Whereupon, for the
sake of entire harmony, notwithstanding Mr..
Turk had announced his intention of casting the
entire vote of Highland against Mr.. Sherrard,
Though he acknowledged that he had no in
structions to cast that vote for any one else)
motion was made by Mr.. Sherrard s friends that
Mr.. Turk be allowed to represent his county
which motion was carried-Mr. Stewards
friends voting IS a unit for it, though warmly
opposed by the friends of the other candidates.
1t was then, that Mr.. Turk, evidently surprised
at his admission as delegate, declined to act as
such, expressing a doubt as to the propriety of
such sction on his part; though as previously
stated by him, he had been sent there in the ca
pacity OF delegate.
Again how does it arise that the source from
which Mr.. Sherrard expected his chief strength
chat is from Highland county, that he should
have received no representation whatever from
that source? We think it can be explained by
MIR. Turks Acknowledgements, to the effect that
the people of his county had no notice whatever
Of the holding of the convention, which deputed
him delegate for the purpose aforementioned,
and that 1t was merely an informal meeting
The published proceedings of MIR. Turks meet
ing in Highland neither show that he was au-
thorized to act in the Alum Springs Convention
or to cast the vote of his county against Mr.. Sher
rard in any convention in which he might be au-
thorized to act. Now we demand that High
land county. CATER due notice to her people go
into convention In conformity to the rules laid
down by the Conservative Executive Commit
tee of the State; and, having done this, we as
sure the people of Highland, no objections shall
come from the friends Of Mr.. Sherrard as to the
manner In which she shall see fit to cast her vote
in the Senatorial Convention. But we do appeal
to the people of Highland to see that there is a
fair expression of the sentiment of her people in
her primary Convention, and that the few men
surrounding the Courthouse be not permitted
to control Ito the exclusion of the farmers and
mechanics the said meeting Mr Sherrard has
been selected by the farmers and mechanics of
this District the champion of their interests
and to them we appeal to stand by him in this
contest with the assurance, if elected that their
interests shall be protected to the fullest extent
in the Senate of Virginia.
