AMELIA COUNTY.

Editors Dispatch: Inasmuch as an in
accurate account OF the Conservative meet
ing held ut Amelia Courthouse on August
court-day has appeared in your paper de
sire YOU to publish the following, which
believe to be entirely correct The number
Of voters in this county is about 9, 100. The
Conservative vote last fall was Gil. Mr..
lIaryie only claimed 800 signatures to his
petitions, stating that they embraced both
Conservatives and Republicans, 81 r~
The pnrport Of the resolution passed by
the meeting was that all voters who intend
cd TO abandon the Conservative organiZa-
ton, or did not intend to support the Con-
scryativc nominee, he requested not to par
ticipatc in the selection OF the candidate.
In my opinion FIVE siXths OF the ConseIy-
alive voters OF the county will support
Captain T.. Il. Weisiger, the regular Con-
~eryatiye nominee.
I have been the Conservative superin-
tcndcnt OF this county for four or five years,
and those who remained in the meeting
after the passage OF that resolution consti-
tlted q more numerous body OF Conserya-
tive voters than were ever assembled at any
nominating convention in this county
during my supcrintcndency. 3.
