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 practice; test oath cases; voting restrictions as a means of continuing Republican supremacy; state elections of 1868; Flick's 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 include Arthur I. Boreman, H.G. Davis, Spencer Dayton, Nathan Goff, William P. Hubbard, John J. Jacob, and William E. Stevenson.
