the appointment of McGrsw is perfectly

Very truly yours,

am not aware of being 8 member ofany
faction of the Democratic party Of this
county, but as | was elected last fall a mem
Der of the House of Delegates, and was also
one of the party who called on the President
in the interest Of Major Anderson for
Collector of West Virginia, it is evident
this letter refers to me as well as others.
The statements contained therein are false
and absurd, aud unworthy Of notice, but
for the fact OF its publication where the cir
cumstsnces were unknown. The party who
called on the President went there with no
other object than to advocate the claims of
a friend. No one censured our Representa-
tive in Congress for his endorsement OF
MeGraw in either the interview with
Secretary Manning or the President.
His right to endorse whom he pleases was
not questioned, and | ! know of no sensible
reason why any citizen has not the same
privilege.
/ disclaim being of that class who, BY en-.
dorsing an applicant on the sole ground
that he was agreeable to Senator Camden
or other representatives, would bend the
pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may
follow fawning."
The writer alludes to the election Of Mr..
Lucas and myself last fall. The vote was
taken at a primary election when the field
was open to all competitors. By referring
to q table, published by the Free Press, |

sioner was $50; for Lucas, 1872; my vote
somewhat larger. being 1901. 1t was gen
