WESTON, W. Va, February 4.-The
sentiment here tonight is greatly adverse
to the position taken and reasons assigned
by Hon. c. p. Dorr in tO-day's REGISTER.
In an interview with two prominent Dem
Ocrais from Webster county they declare
that Mr.. DOrr is not rejecting the wishes
of his constituency. DOrr they say was
elected SIS Kenna man, and his course
unless changed towards Kenna will iDjure
him with his best friends.
The following expressions with others
have been telegraphed to Charleston,
showing the sentiment of this section re-
garding the Senatorial contest:
''Stand by John f. Kenna, sink person
al preference for your party's sake.
[Signed] GEORGE W. CURTIS,
'JoHN COLLINS,
Members County Court"
There is but one sentiment with the
Democracy here, and that is their earnest
expression of opinion for and wish that the
party shall be unit for John E KeDna.
TSigned John BRANNON."
The contest at the late election in this
State was clearly defined as between GOff
and Kenna for United States Senator, and
I cannot see how any true Democrat Of the
Legislature can consistently refuse to give
Kenna a cordial support.
TSigned1 ''T. A. EDWARDS"
Lively and all Democrats should sup
port and stand by the nominee, John Z.
Kenna.
