a movement to publicly call upon De '
uty Circuit Clerk John Walton to be

this movement, creditable alike to the
attorneys and Mr.. Walton, took on a
tangible form, and yesterday thirty-one
members Of the bar-a majority OF all
presented MIR. Walton with signed
letter. endorsing him in the most
hearty manner and urging his candi-
dacy, while at least twenty-five others,
who. for obvious reasons, did not care
to sign the document, promised their
full concurrence in the purpose of the
letter and assured Mr. Walton OF sup
port.
This letter and Mr.. Walton's reply
thereto, will be found below
Wheeling. w. Va, February q, 1896.
