10 meet at Lynchburg October 5th next,
will hc one Of the largest and most rep
resentative Of that party ever held in
virginia. A leading Republican from
Cslpeper, now in this city. says that the
sentiment OF the party throughout the
I6hth Congressional District IS almost
unanimously in favor OF the convention
and OF the nomination Of State ticket.
Hc mentioned the names Of large num-
tcr Of leading Republicans in the State
from whom he had received letters
stating that the only hope for the future
existence and usefulness CD OF the party

active campaign. The letters also con-
Gmned the action of the present State
Committee In deposing Colonel William
Lamb from the chairmanship and the
acts Of the Executive Committee, both
before and since that event, regarding
the patronage in the state.
This Republican leader went on TO say
that the Executive Committee. composed

eyes OF all decent Republicans in the
STATE. and that when the convention is
held at Lynchbure 1t will be found they

mite would be repudiated by the voters
OF the party, and that the administration
would be taught a lesson for the dicker-
ire II had done with this oiiice-hOlding,
oaice-seekng, and Ofiice-dispensing quin-
tette.
