Mr.. EDIToR:-I desire, through the
columns of your paper, to deny
briefly but emphatically, a certain
report that has gained some circula-
ton in our county since l became a
candidate for the House OF Delegates.
l allude to the report, current in
some sections. of that am a Martin
man." and that. if elected I would
cast my vote for him for the q. s..
Senatorship. In refutation of this
charge l will say that, from the
period of Martins candidacy to the
present time, no man has been more
outspoken in opposition to him and
the incidents attendant upon his
election than was, and no one could
regret more keenly than I, his return
to the Senate. In this statement l
will be corroborated even by Martins
friends in the county with whom l
have been brought in contact. This
rumor has doubtless been repeated
by many without any unkind feeling
or any desire to do me an injustice,
but 1 am convinced that the report
was conceived in malice and put in
circulation without regard for truth
or decency. 1 will add that / con-
slider it the solemn duty Of any one
honored with a seat in the General
Assembly to cast his vote for U S.
Senator, for the choice of those whom
he represents and by whom he was
elected. Nothing could induce me tc
cast my vote for Thos. s. Martin but
the positive assurance that I would
be acting in accord with the wishes
of those would then represent, made
known to me by instructions or other
wise.
