pressed by Mr.. Moore and his friends as to the
aetono1 the meeting OF October 16th at Beck's
Han, IN nominating him (Dickson) for the House
OF Delegates, he makes the following proposition:
" Let primary convention of the de mocratic and
coIservauve voters of the district be called at
some suitable time and place, to be agreed uDon
between us, giving due notice thereof In the daily
papers; let well-knOwn and intelligent citizens of
irreproachable character be selected by us to act
as uages 10 mold the election, the polls to be kept
open from 2 to 6o'clOck p. m, permitting none to
vote save those who have been duly registered
and are known to be residents and voters of the
Twelfth district, acting with the conservative and
democratic party, thus giving full and free ex-
preston to the wishes of our people; and will
agree to abide the result giving to the successful
nominee my unqualified support"
MIR. Moore in his reply saws sIf this proDosi-
ton had been made prior TO the meeting mem
Toned in your letter, IL would have been ac-
cepted, but the irregular converting of that
meeting, evidently i'm your interest without con-
sul;atiOn with my friends or myself has placed
me In position from which j cannot Withdraw
without violating promises which they think
ought to redeem. He cannot recognize the
meeting as a Irregular stated meeting of the
democratic and conservative citizens of the
Twelfth district" That meeting simply met.
performed a special work and adjourned. had
no intimatiOn of any movement in that direc-
ton, although on each of the six days immedi-
ately preceding Except Sunday we had met on
business connected with our legislature duties
A like silence seems to have been observed to-
wards my friends, none of whom seems to have
been at the meeting. / regret the procedure as
one having the appearance of a design uncere-
mOniously to thrust me aside, and II any evil
shall result shall have the consolation of know
ing that it did not originate in any undue haste
or lndiscreet ambition on my part"
