RECALL FINDINGS
Of INVESTIGATORS
Committee to Examine Martins
Campaign Made Unanimous
Report.

While disappointing some OF the
practices connected with the election
held on November :. 1898, at which
'Nas elected the Legislature which Sc
lected Thomas ; Martin for the Unitel
states Senate, the legislative commit
tee appointed 10 investigate AIR. Mar.

evidence failed 10 show any improper
methods on the part of any candidate
for Senator The practices disap.
proved of are supposAd TO have been
the methocs used in those days to In.
sure white major!ties at the polls. and.
in fact. the committee states that they
were not different from those resorted
10 in former campaigns
The investigating committee was
composed of seven members Four of
these, according to the best recollec-
tion of to-day, voted for General Fitz-
hugh Lee They are: c. L. Nieol, OF
Prince William, chairman: George 4
Mushback, of Alexandria. James L.
Tredway, OF Henry. and Merritt r.
Cooke. of Norfolk. The three voting
for Mr.. Martin were Major Joel c.
Green. OF Wythe; r.. l.. Boylsin. of Isle
OF Wight and II. II Downing, of War
rem. The caucus roll is apparently un-
obtainable. Senator Mushback, Ma jor
Green and Mr.. Boykin are now dead.
Committees Findings.
The report OF the committee, as dug
up from the journal of the State Senate
of that session, was signed by all the
members. and was follows:
First, That certain practices and
acts We're proven connected with the
election on November {. 1898. which
they do not commend. but such prac-
tees and acts were without the con-
sent or appreciation OF any candidate
for the United states Senate. and not
different from those resorted TO in
former campaigns.
second, That the evidence fails to
show that any improper method or
means were used by any candidate for
the United States Senate TO influence
the vote of members of the General
Assembly AT the caucus held on De-
cember :, 1898. in the hal! of the
House OF Delegates.
Third. That the said evidence fails
to show that any candidate for the
nomination of United States senator
before the said caucus held in the hall
of the House of Delegates on Deem
Der Z, 1898, was guilty OF using any
improper methods in securing dele
gates or Senators in his or their in
terest AZ tire election held on the 9TH
day OF November, 1899"
