Boss tho Party in Richmond-Wiu
Use Their Influence To Turn Him
Down mt the state Convention
Board of Visitors Appointed.

Richmond. Va. March 5.-(SpeciaD-
The Republicans of Richmond are hav-
ing a monkey and n parrot time. Just
at present it looks as If the WuddIl-
Allan faction had the better OF It. They
are In control OF the CITY Committee
and have called a convention to meet
on the 2Sth Of this month. TO elect dele
gates to the district II State conven-
tons. Whether or not the supporters
of State Chairman Lamb will participate
in this convention is not known. Alder
man James Bahen, their leader. said to-
Il they would have nothing to do with
any convention called by Allan. Before
the 2Sth," said he, w will have 4 new
city chairman. Aliens term has expired
by limitation and Col. Lamb Is going
to name some one else for the position
MIR. Allan and Judge Waddill are fully
determined not to allow State Chairman
Lamb To boss the party In this city. NOT
only this. but Allan and Waddill are so
displeased with Col. Lambs course they
will use their influence TO turn him
down at the State convention in Staun-
ton. Almost nightly the rival Republic
can factions hold meetings. There Is
little that Il very large majority
of the party here symDathize with Allan
and Waddill. Evey white Republican.
If any, vote, except Bahen. is classed us
opposed to the course being pursued
by Colonel Lamb and the only colored
Republican Of any prominencc who Is
against Allah and add is John
Mitchell, Jr., editor OF the Planet. Mr..
Edgar Allan. the chairman of the City
Republican Committee. thinks Chair
man Lamb has treated him very badly
in seeking to rcmove him. The Colenels
conduct, Mr.. Allan says. is owink solely
to the fact that he did not see iii to sup
port the Colonel for State Chairman and
National Committeeman. However, this
may be, 1t is certain that the breach
Is widening and feeling between the fac
tons Is bitter. Chairman Allan has en-
tlrcly r~eorganizcd his committee and all
the members are his staunch supporters.
If Colonel Lamb seeks to establish n
new committee the Allan people certain
ly will not yield and there will be rival
committees here. TIL situation, to-day
at least. is very much mixed and appar-
emily is far from solution.
Tine Legislature adjourned sine die
to-day. Both houses met at noon ana
| took a recess until 9 p. M, in order to
give the Governor opportunity to sim
NIL bills before him. When the hour o.
two arrived the usual joint committee
waited on the Governor aud Informed
him that the Legislature was ready To
| adjourn. The Executive said he had
| no further communication to make and

Governor O'Ferrall sent to the Senate
to-day nominations for the Board of

Mushback, OF Alexandria. and Delegate
Addison Maupin. OF Hcnrlco, three years.
The Superintendent of Public lnstruc-
ton Is a member cN officio. Nearly
every senator signed n petition asking
that Mr.. MuShback be kept on the board.
Fighty-five members of h House asked
for the re-appointment of DR.. Il. l.. Win
ston. but the Governor did not see ii:
to name the Hanover gentleman. DIR.
Winston and Mr.. Mushback belong to
rival factions in the present board, and
the Governor no doubt thought it would
do to appoint both of them. The
Senate confirmed the nomination. but
MIR. Wickham entered a protest on the
ground that the Governor had refused
to appoint DR.. Winston after eighty-Gvc
delegates had appealed to him. This
board Will meet In q week or two to
elect a principal and teachers. Nj.
Mushback is very friendly toward Cap
tain Doyle and SO is senator Stubbs.
Senator William NJ. FlanaEan's condi-
ton Is very much improved to-day bu,
he is unable TO leave his bed. The Scna-
tor says he did not see Mr.. Flood and
OF his personal knowledge could not say
that the AppomaitoX Senator struck
him. MIR. Flanagan states that the blow
was struck before he could turn around
after Mr.. Flood cursed TO attract his al
tention.
