Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1880-09-04
COMMUNICATED,
STATE SENATOR.

Parkersburg elected to the United
States Senate. Firmly convinced that
! his election would be q calamity to W.
Va, we publish something Of his record,
because the delegates to the convention
cannot judge Of his fitness for this place,
OF the greatest responsibility and O. the
very highest trnst, unless they arc IN
formed Of the acts he has committed il
the past. Il, after they ere advised Of
bis record and character, they consider
him q proper incn for the Senate, tho
convention will nominate for the lcgis-
lature, one who will advance bis cleo
! ton; whereas, if they Think that we
have better men in this State, Their they
will refuse TO nominate q candidate who
Is not publicly committed toYotc against
Nj Camden.
We call particular attention to the
fact, that the Part:zans Of M Camden
are keeping their preference tor Him
| profoundly secret, and are very adroit
to avoid answering, whether they viii
vote for him? We tried q candidate
, on this poiul and here il our converse
ton:
Junius--"lIr. Candidate, will you
vote fox Camden for Y. 5. Senator?'
Caudidate-"I expect TO vote for tho
man, think, my people want?'
Junius-"Ono OF Camdcns friends
tells me, you are going to vote for him,
Will you do SO ?"
Canlidate--'I will not commit my
self for or against any Of the gentlemen
named il connection with the Senate
Janius-'I and my friends are oppos-
ing you for the legislature because We
are informed, by those who ought TO
know, that You advocate Calndenj II
yon viii tell me, YOU will not vote 81
him, 81! who agree with me viii help
you."
Can3idate-'I will never commit
myself until after The election"
We give what occurred and cur
readers may judge tor themselves. We
will never voto for q man Who concea!s
his purposes. Ii he did not intend to
misrepTcsent his constituents, he would
answer tie question. Let tue cUnvcn-
tion require q direct answer, IN tUTiting,
to the quUstiou,--'Will you vote fer
Camden 2, aud rather taaa answer i,
the candidate Of whom We speak VIII
