Refuses 20 Support the Republican Ticket.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch
who Travelled from Lynchburg to Salem with
Jno. W. Wolff, late Secretary of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, states that
Volt AYERS that the nominal ion of Hughes
was obtained by combination of Federal Of
fce-holders in defiance of the wishes of the Re-
publican masses, and that their conduct was
such as to make it impossible to unite the par
ty under the banner of Hughes, Ramsdell and
Fultz, and that the interests of the Republican
party will be best promoted and the wishes of
the people obtain utterance by the defeat of the
present Republican ticket HE (Woltz) is,
therefore, prepared" says this correspondent,
"to assist in the defeat, and will probably take
the stump against it.
This correspondent also says that Gen. Wick
ham and Jno. Amber Smith left Lynchburg
in great disgust, not having fully determined
upon their course, on Thursday morning
which was before the Convention had complet-
ed its session, and before Hughes had deliver
ed his address, which had been previously pre-.
pared and was Ia type before his nomination
was make.
