Gen. Watts claims.


CHARLESTON, w. VA, December Is
i know it Is burdensome to you, and
some of your readers as well, to reaC
the laudatory productions OF zealou:
friends who write for this and that
candidate for the several offices soon t
be given out. But the example ha:
been set, and l wish TO write a few
words in favor of Gen. Watts before
you call general halt, which prom.
Use shall be brief, then I'm done.
! have no other favorite.
Gen. c. G. Watts claim to the ap,
pointment Of District Attorney is para
mount to that Of any other candidate.
He was turned out before his time, and
for what reason? Because he dared to
discharge his duty faithfully, fearless
ly and impartlally. He prosecuted
Democrats and Republicans alike in the
election cases.
He was warned during the session Of
the Federal Court at Parkersburg, after
Harrison's election, that his head
would fall in the basket soon after the
4th of March, 1889. With this warn
ing was the gentle hint that he could
stay till the end il he would neglect his
duty. Gen. Watts did not desist. Pres
ident Harrison demanded his resigna-
ton. He declined to notice it, The
Senate adjourned and Watts was
fired" The whole country knows the
rest. Every Democrat in and out Of
the State was thoroughly impressed
with the feeling that Gen. Watts had
been most unjustly treated, all because
he dared do his duty.
The law In reference to the Office of
attorney is very explicit and when one
is appointed for the full term of four
years, not even the President, has
the.right to deprive the appointee from
Sc Mr, out his term, and he can not be

mos allowed to serve out his term, al
tbonph it was six months atther the
Damocratic President took MS seat
Vet watts was cut off to crafty par
tlsan howlers for place.
Gen. Watts friends think for THESE
reasons he should be given his old place.
and thus indicated.
Not alone does Gen. Watts claims
stand upon his insolent and unjust treat
ment at the hands Of President Harrl-
son. but his energy, zeal and continuous
work in the ranks Of the Democracy
Gen. Watts spoke throughout the entire
campaign, both ia and out OF the State:
The friends of Watts in this valley, and
they are legion, ask for his re-appoint-
ment to the place OF District Attorney,
he so ably filed under Cleveland's ad-
ministration. YOUNG DEMOCRAT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December IA. =
A number OF prominent railroad me-
including Chauncey NJ. Depew AM
/ President Roberts, OF the Pennsylvania
system, were before the Senate Com
mlttee on Interstate Commerce thi
morning to advocate the passage OF tn,

committee was present and speeche:
were made by Mr.. Depew, Mr.. Roberts
Mr.. Walker and Mr.. Ingalls,, these gen.
tlemen urging that the great majority
OF the railroads OF the country were In
favor Of the proposed amendment.
President Roberts OF the Pennsyl.
vania road said that in his judgment
the interstate commerce law has not
operated for the benefit OF the public in
the matter of preventing discrlmina-
