Unsuitable and indiscrset course on tue

and quiet manner as they have always

der Of the committee acting in
pursuance of the authority 50 TO do
given By the State and district commit
tees and under their direction and they
will be held and proceeded with in the
regular order regardless OF the fact that
the State chairman has apparently lost
his head.
No self-respectiDg republican, am
sure, will pay the slightest regard 70
this action Of the chairman and, for my
part, shall resist it and resent it as |
would any other bigh-handed and IL
legal proceeding.
There can be but one reason for the
displacement of Mr.. Allan at the pres
ent time and that it is TO influence i'm
properly the election Of delegates to the
national convention as we will in less
than two weeks have the people deter
mine whom they desire FOR chairman,
whether their present duly elected
chairman. h1r. Allan, or some one else.
Ex-Postmaster Russell, Major 3
Taylor McCue and other influential re-
publicans were at Judge Waddili's of
flee Saturday discussing the situation.
Chairman Lambs action found no de-
fender. II is practically settled that an
effort will be made at the State conven-
ton to down Lamb. The Richmond
republicans are very bitter toward him.
The Waddill-Allan faction will certain
~ send to the convention delegates ia
vorable to Mckinley while the sup.
porters of Chairman Lamb will support
Reed men. 1t is sid that an effort will
be made to set Congressman Walker
to allow his name to be put UP for the
Craftsmanship. The sympathizers with
the State chairman are jubilant over the
turn affairs have taken in Richmond
and will hold jollification meetings.
