In sarcastic reference to the
Governor, Mr.. Martin said:
Il have n boss at home. and |

and ] have been sorry about it
ever since.
The only thing the Senator did
of note at King George was to
agree to joint Debate with Mon
tague, on extremely unfair terms
which the Senator himself imposed.
Practically any man with honesty
would be ashamed of that.
One thing which the Senator
studiously avoided was reference
to his election in 1898. and the
"eXtraneous influences" connected
herewith.
He started to explain his vote on
the Union Station bill in Washing
ton, and said, but ! will take that
mp presently" He never again
referred to it in his speech.
The applause of the meeting was
furnished by about fifty of the Sen
ator's most jealous supporters
supplemented by some from Fred
erick county.
1t was poor speech, he made a
poor appearance, and his charge
that Montague was abusing him
fell flat upon everyone who had
heard both speakers, as Martin ;
speech was certainly the abusive
one.

Eight Reasons Against Martin.

VT. Martln may be good private
citizen in Albemarle he is a poor
United States Senator in Washing
tOn-and elsewhere. 1t has been
in adducing our reasons for this
position that we have been unjustly
and untruthfuIly accused of per-
sOnal abuse. Now let Us see what
we have charged against Mr.. Mar
tin First, we have charged that
as an unknown railroad attorney
ne was foisted upon the people of
this State by questionable legisla-
tive methods, and through and by
the influence of corporations.
Second, that while he resigned his
railroad attorneyship when ne. be-
came Senator, so we are told. he
has remained responsive to that
influence, and that his supporters
in the General Assembly have
been largely, if not entirely, men
Who were responsive to the same
influence. Third, that during his
whole service in the Senate he has
never taken a stand on any great
public question or upheld Demo-
cratic doctrines. Fourth. that he
made free silver speech at a
Democratic state convention. but
did not vote I'm Congress as he had
spoken in convention. Fifth, that.
In opposition to German. to Car
mack and 10 all the Democratic
leaders In the Senate. the only
Senatorial speech he has ever made
has been in support of an extrava-
CANT Republican naval appropria-
ton bill. Sixth, that he does more
in the way of influencing the Gen
eral Assembly of Virginia and con-
trolling the State Democratic or
ganization than he does i'm main
tanning the Democratic position on
our great governmental questions
in the Senate. Seventh. that he
has been and Is now opposed To
the primary plan, and that he has
never done anything TO secure an
amendment 10 the United States
Constitution whereby the people
may vote directly for their Sena.

opposing the primary in every
way. Eighth, that while he ha.
been no doubt diligent in depart
ment work, and while his chic
boast Is his ability to get money
out of the Treasury, vet his friend.

credit for appropriations some @
which he has had nothing To q,

Edwards on Martin.

The Martin papers throughout
the State have recently published
an article which they claim was
written by Chas. \. Edwards.
Secretary of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee. very lauda-
tory of Senator Martin.
Frankly, we do not believe that
Mr.. Edwards wrote the article in
question.
Our reason for not believing that
the article was written by Mr..
Edwards is based on the following
letter.
The editor of the COURIER had
been receiving weekly patches Of
Martin letters from fellow i'm
Washington, whose name we with
hold. We had an idea that he was
either Senator Martins private
secretary or his press agent. We
addressed a letter to Mr.. ChaS. 4.
Edwards on May 9. 1905, asking
him to give us all the information
obtainablc I'm regard TO that cores
pondent.
We quote from his reply:
Minority Conference Room,
House of Representatives L. s.
Washington, ID. c., May II, 1905.
Mr.. Chas X. Hughes.
Editor The Clarke Courier.
Bcrryville, Va.
My dear Mr.. Hughes:
! have your favor Of the 9th
inst and am glad 20 be able to
serve you In any way | can. Yes,
! know very well.
He worked for me during the cam
paign of 1902 in the Democratic
Congressional Committee and ] got
him "a job last fall with the National
Committee i'm New York. He has
been here a number of years doing
some de~ultory newspaper work
when he could get IL and serving
several OF the Virginia papers with
stuff. He Is very bright and
capable fellow and writes very
well, but he Is somewhat erratic.
He Is not the Secretary to Senator
Martin, but he Is acting in the
capacity of his press agent in this
campaign, so ! understand. That
may account for his activity in the
matter of trying to get favorable
stuff in the Virginia papers in
Martins behalf. l would not want
TO hurt poor . for he
probably needs all the money Mar
tin will pay him and as Martin has
plenty of 1t am not sorry TO see
him get some of il, but | would
respectfully suggest To YOU that
YOU beware of his letters in Mar
tins interest, unless YOU want q
support Martin. for You can read
lily understand why he writes
them"
The above letter is signed per-
Sonally 10y Mr.. Edwards and we
are ready to produce it any time
that may be required.
In his speech in Berryville last
/ Saturday Mr.. Martin said:
THE primary fee of $500 may
force me to mortgage what I've
got, as we'll rs my future, but IT
mortgage both before I'll be driven
out of this campaign
In Washington, where men are
estimated at their true worth,
Mr.. Martin Is not considered very
poor, As he would try TO make yol
believe.
Now that the COURIER is ready
to show Mr. Edwards letter, w,
wonder if the Martin papers cal
produce any proof that Mr.. Ed
wards wrote the article which they
have published.
