MR. EDITOR:
In an Editorial 10 last
issue OF Shenandoah Press that
paper saws that "Rpbt. j. Walker
will have q solid delegation from
this county asking his n0mlna ion
is the r publican candidate for
Congress in This District" AMI
that The is an un1nching. M
swelving Republican and challenges
success full contradiction OF his con
sistency as a Republ can" Tptho>t
who are acquainted with the Eli.
tor OF he Press and his su5Servi
eLcy 10 Mr. Walker hls reckless
unwaranted statements are not
surprising. They are evidently in
terdrd to create sentiment III favor
Of Mr.. Walker outside # Sh 81
doah Go , as here tue Republicans
are alive to the true situation, and
are we'll up on Mr.. Walkers ecOrd
as h public III. List these state
ments Of the Press might be mis-
leading eiSe,chere IN the District. |
viii respond to the challenge of the
Press and give Mr. Walkers rec1Id
as knownip Shenandoah, which W.
stand reaCy to verify by proof II
necessary.
1>t. IN 1885 Il think at the
Senatorial Convention at New
Market DR.. King and Mr.. Wa ker
were candidates for he Republic N
nominations. Dr. King was uOmI
mated Nr. Walker bOlted thu con
vanti0n, refused to support ID.
King aud 10y so doing accomplish
ed his defeat.
2ud. In the great Pfesl iential
fight OF 1892, Mr.. Walker was not
a candidate for Congress aud W.
hnd this "Splendid caupaigner,"
81 king in bis t. MT and lefusing to
dll the appointments made f'r @lm
by thu County Chairman, and
when written to by hin, to kno"
why it was, that "the people were
NOndoring at his 81 'encc"-he replied
in these words AS 10 the people
wOnuOlihg at NY silence | am
rather surprised. | have long since
come to the conclusion. that my
SERVERS could he very well dis
| y n Std witb-sO | have conclude
to emaiu silent in Ibis fight
3 d. At the Strasbulg Senatorial
Convention last tall Mr.. Walker
refused to take the standard fot
State Senator, and he and his
t. lends, advised that the RrpublI
cans put up NJ candidate, and sup
port IT, L. Wal on, of election la"
fame.
To summarize at New Market
Gben defeated for the nOmlnina
uOn for Safe Senator by DIR. King
We find him bOlter.
In the great Presidential fight OF
1891 We hnG the "spIendld cam
palguer" out Of ranks as silent as an
oyster
In 1884 we ind him the Re
publican party for Congress ac-
cording to the Press makrg "a
magnificent campaign"
In 1898 We hud bin at the
StraSburg S material Convention
refusing TO carry the standard OF
The party Tor State Senator anu
advising the Republicans 10 vot'
ter " l.. Walton.
This is The record OF Mr.. Walker,
" ho the Press in its zeal paradrS
as "uu6inchiug answering, un
adullerated Rrpu6ic'n M" L't the
Republicans Of the b District
sa, If TITS the kind Of Republican
ism they like. Tue essence OF
Mr.. " dlkel's Rspublicanism Is,
ami alicays has been Walker FIRST
last aud all the time. Nobody
knows 1t better than the Republl
cans of Shenandoah county and,
who, if all signs do not fail will re-.
D date Mr. Walker as ihtic can
dida e 1T Lurdy, the Press to The
coutrory Notwithstanding. The
convention at LDraS must nominate
IA good stlODg, tue man; man
" TO has been true IN every fight
whether binself a candidate or not,
aud We will make a swimming
fight" otherwise we will be de
ta'ed. The tine has come ~he"
The il plbllcans cannot be mad
o support an uUsOund man.
