Abstract
Papers of a Pendleton County lawyer and prosecuting attorney who served in the state legislature, 1868-1870, where he introduced
the Flick Amendment which removed voting restrictions on those who served in the Confederacy. Papers deal with Flick's legal

campaign against Henry G. Davis for Congress in 1870; the West Virginia capital question; subscriptions to the Washington
and Ohio Railroad; the origin of the Flick Amendment; and politics in the Second Congressional District, 1872. Correspondents
