NORFOLK. VA. November T.-(Spe-
ciai)-when seen to-day and questioned
regarding the action OF the State Repuo-
lican Committee meeting In Richmond
last night, Colonel William Lamb said
there was nothing for him to say before
the committee met here December 18th,
In pursuance to the regular call issued by
the Executive Committee through himself
as State chairman. The meeting In
Richmond Thanksgiving night was. he
said. Illegal owing TO the irregularity OF
the call Had a majority of the mem
bcrs desired meeting. they should have
communicated with the Executive Com
mttee: and, had their request been re-
fused then a majority Of them might
have called meeting OF the committee
which meeting would have been perfectly
legal
Colonel Lamb positively refused to dis
cuss the probability OF General Stith
Bollng's succeeding to the state chair
manship. or. indeed, anything done at
the meeting lie thinks II clearly IT.

portentious Of much that IS to follow, It's

he is too deeply engrossed I'm his very

to squabble in the party.

said ne had no reaNon to believe a CON
test would not be made. but that II all de-
pendod upon the defeated Republican can

sary funds TO carry through a contest

There IS undoubtedly n very strong
feeling among the rank and file Of the
Republican party In this section that
there has been fighting enough. They
are not so much for Lamb or Bowden
and Wadlm and Allan rs for peace.

He took his text from Proverbs xiv, 81

that for several reasons he had found II

He had refralned from doing so during
the campaign but now that the fury
OF its par,isanship was over he wished to

methods had upon the people, not in an

moral one. as Is becoming the pulpit.
