Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-12-16

The following paragraph from a
recent letter of the Richmond cores
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, rela-
tive to the Senatorship in the Thirty
second District in our State, gives an
insight into the ways of the Junior
Senator of Virginia to defeat the will
of the people.
The statement made here by the
very highest authority, and repeated
by influential men both in and out OF
the Les islature, that Senator Martin,
before the assembling OF that BODY
sent members a letter on the Shands
case. has attracted no little attention
in g. Quiet way. This seems to have
been typewriter circular letter
aud, it is asserted, was received oy
nearly all OF the members OF these
Two houses. The contents OF this
letter have been repeated by those
by whom it was received. Thus far
this correspondence has not found lie
way into the local newspapers.
Senator Stands. it is only necessary
to add, relied upon the people rather
than the party machinery in the last
election and won by large majority
of the democratic voters in his district.
Mr.. Martin. of course, cared nothing
for the wishes of the people then and
does not now, as indicated oy bis
course in the matter.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-12-16

The improved financial condition
of the State seems to be offered as al
excuse by some of our members of
the Legislature for the introduction
of measures in that body requiring
the expenditure of the public money
In their haste to spend it, to some of
their constituents, it looks, as if the
retrenchment and reform 80 earnestly
advocated last session and which
brought about that condition had
been lost sight Of and the caution
therefore seems to be necessary Ito
make haste slowly" AS the Rich
mond News very aptly says, there
is no especial call for any vast
amount OF legislation, but what does
go through should bear the stamp of
consideration and be free from the
subsequent criticism of having been
hastily DONE"
