Judge waddilI Says They VIII Not Allow
n Reed Man to Lend Them.

Judge Waddill. the recognized Mchih-
ley leader IN this State, made the fol-
Loving statement yesterday:
That while, of course. he knew nothing
mora than other persons generally dia Oh
the subject Of the change In the chdil
manshiD he assumed a new state chdll
man would be elected: he did not take IL
that Colonel Lamb. having been over
whelmingly defeated IN all OF his plans
purposes. and policies, would afro"
claim TO be made for him as permanent
State chairman; but should he so wish
he would be disappointed, as the party
had too much at stake TO contemplate
such an act Of folly. During the Few
months OF the temporary reign OF the
present State chairman, he said, the
party had been convulsed IN turmolI anu
strife. and now TO place In command one
OF the chief leaders In these troubles and
the one who had been defeated, would
indeed. be political suicide.
The chairman. he said, looking 10 the
party interest In the future, should be Il
person removed, as far as possible, from
the unfortunate controversy which mas
existed, and that II party 10 the row
had to be selected, which ought not to be
thought OF, surely one IN the majority,
and not one in the minority, would be
chosen.
Judge Waddnl further stated that Nc
Kinley had swept the State. and his
friends who had won the victory for him
should have sagacity enough 10 hold II,
and 10 put an anti-McKinley leader I'm
charge Of the Mckinley forces, where he
might have a potential voice In deter
mining the accredited representatives
from the State, both at the national con-
vention and after the election. would be
TO demonstrate that they had lost their
political cunning. and that they were tru-
ly nOvices I'm the business, if not politi-
cal babies and idiots.
The Judge did not seem at all disturbed
about the report sent out from Norfolk
TO the effect that majority OF the dele
gates 10 stanton had been Instructed 70
support the present State chairman,
This, he said. was not true. and indeed
the number instructed compared with the
whole vote was inconsiderable, and that
many so-called instructions were merely
formal, not a few of them referring 10 the
State Committees action at Petersburg
and not 10 the permanent selection at all
The distinguished Ohi0an, he said, would
receive at least twenty Of tho twenty-foul
votes from Virginia 10 the National Con
venton. with strong probability Of q
| larger number.
