Edmund Waddill, Jr., who is fighting
Chairman Lamb, of the Republican State
committee, gives out the following
statement:
THE statement contained in dis
patches sent out from Norfolk that I
desired to be chosen Republican State
chairman at the State committee meet.
Ing November last, with view to using
the official position to elect delegates to
the national convention favorable to
cKtnley. 10 without the slightest
foundation in truth. 1 not only never
thoughs OF such thing. but on the con-
trery believed then and still believe
that it Is highly improper for the chair
man OF party to use his position.
ut is likewise not true that desired
the Craftsmanship of the party at Staun-
ton; on the contrary 1 would not for
moment think of accepting the place
and only consented to take the place at
Petersburg, at the instance of what was
believed to be majority Of the State
committee, and with q view of forward
ing the movement to prevent the con-
solidation of the positions of chairman
and national committeeman in the same
hands, and then with the understanding
that would not be asked 10 hold the
place longer than the meeting of the
State committee at Staunton.
This was willing to do. as did not
believe there was any Legitimate work
OF consequence for the chairman to- do
before the calling Of the State conven.
tion. The question of my selection or
defeat for the position never came up
at Petersburg, as by certain new and
now well-known combinations and dis
placement of four members of the com.
mittee and the substitution of four
others in their stead. the scheme for
one person to have both positions

jorisy. after which the conclusion was
accepted and but one nomination for
chairman made. In this way the 30

think the financial question will cut a
great figure In the campaign, but am
for the single standard of valuation.
Or, in other words, am in favor of all
money which Is issued by the govern

money, being worth 100 cents In value
