Charles Edward Walker (March 11, 1860 in Corning, Steuben County, New York – June 6, 1893 in Corning, Steuben Co., NY) was an American politician from New York.

Charles E. Walker (1893)

Life

He was the son of Congressman Charles C. B. Walker (1824–1888). He attended Corning Free Academy, and during one year Hamilton College. Then he engaged in horse and cattle breeding on a farm in Palmyra; and in the lumber business.

In November 1891, he lost the senatorial election to his Republican opponent Franklin D. Sherwood, but Sherwood was declared ineligible for being Park Commissioner of Hornellsville, and Walker was seated by a vote of the Democratic majority of the State Senate. He was a member of the New York State Senate (27th D.) in 1892 and 1893. He died about six weeks after the end of the session, on June 6, 1893, at his home in Corning, from a "spinal affection".

gollark: Anyway, the beeoid incursion protocol *does* work well at making tit-for-tat win, so... great...?
gollark: Oh, I just had a really cool idea; you can *read* strategies too, and mostly they're deterministic, so just check the move sequences you see against every other strategy, guess which one is in use, and.... do... something?
gollark: No idea.
gollark: I suppose if you clone the beeoids enough then you won't have to worry about them.
