The nomination of Mr.. Thos. Martin,
Of Albemarle, for United States Senator
has raised q storm Of indignation IN
many parts Of the State. Mr.. Martin
may be superior, in point OF quallilca-
ton and fitness, to his opponent. The
people. however, do not know him, In
many sections of the State, he Is not
known at all. But it is not SO much on
account of the individuals in the con-
test, as on account of the way in which
the result was reached. 1t has been
freely charged that the choice was con-
trolled by railroad money. Whether
this is true or not, we are compelled to
believe that members Of the Legislature
were guilty of most disgraceiul conduct,
by trading off one Of the highest offices
of the State. in consideration for smaller
Offices TO be afterwards filed. While
Gen. Lee was not our choice, he was the
choice Of the people Of Shenandoah. He
was the choice Of the Democratic Con-
ventlon that assembled in Woodstock to
nominate q candidate for the Legs
lature.
As between Mr. Martin and Gen. Lee,
the people of this county, 50 far as we
have been able TO ascertain their senti-
ments, were almost unanimouslyin favor
of Gen. Lee.
That choice for United States Sena-
tor should be made by disreputable
trades is a stain upon the fair name OF
the Old Commonwealth, and will have
more to do with bringing about the de-
feat of the Democratic party than any
thing which has occurred for years.
1t is suggested that a committee of
investigation be appointed to ascertain
whether any unfair means were used TO
secure the nomination. A committee of
this kind would be poweriess for good.
We have no idea that it would accom-
phSh anything more than 10 Drlng III 4
voluminous report which would shield
the guilty and convict no one. The
people Of the State will closely follow
the proceedings Of the Legislature, and
VIII be governed IN their judgment by
events yet to transpire.
The whole thing has been brought
about by machine politics; and one or
two things will be done. The politics Of
Virginia must be conducted on higher
plane or the people Will destroy the
party il order to destroy the machine
Nominations will have but little weight
with the masses, and they will support
men who will command their confidence,
without regard TO party lines.
