FIVE PARTIAL STATE TICKETS.
While Secretary of the Commonwealth
Lawless does not feel authorized under

BRIEF POLITICAL NOTES
Colonel w. F. Wickham, chairman of
the Lamb wing of the Republican party,
held a meeting with his Executive Com
mittee in Washington yesterday. and
this conference but closely followed the
meetings that the Agnew-Wad people
have held in the national capital this
week.
Judge Waddill returned from Washing
ton last night, but was not disposed to
talk politics. He said he did not know
how many men the Republicans had put
up for the Senate and House of Dele
gates. as he had not kept the run of the
nominations. As to the matter Of the
Republicans of his faction supporting
Pat McCaull for Governor he would have
nothing to say.
DR.. w. ID. Quesenberry, the Democratic
nominee for the House in Caroline coun-
ty, was in the city yesterday.
Meeting of the Old Dominion.
A semi-monthly session of the Old Do
minion Democratic Club was held at
Thons Hall last night. President Wood
occupied the chair, and the attendance
was unusually large The committee APP
pointed TO communicate with Senator b.
r. Tillman, of South Carolina, and invite
him to deliver an address before the club
reported that it had received response
from the Senator from the Palmetto
State, which was published in full in last
Sundays Dispatch, and that the Caro-
linian was at present suffering from a
catarrhal trouble, but expected TO be able
to speak in Richmond, under the au-
spices of the Old Dominion Club, on the
18th instant Senator Tillman stated that
he could not promise with any certainty
that he would be here on this date, on
account of the uncertain condition of his
health but that he would advise the
committee definitely regarding this sub
ject by the 18th instant.
A committee of five was appointed to
confer with similar committees from the
of Richmond with a view of establishing
a system for the protection Of the various
candidates for municipal offices from i'm
positions imposed upon them so extern
sively in the past by what have been
designated as mushroom clubs.
There was a big squabble over an al
legation that Mr.. Mullen should not have
given the Dispatch certain piece of in
formation relative to the coming to Rich
mond of Senator Tillman. Mr.. Mullen ex-
planned the circumstances under which
no gave the item to this paper, and the
club was satisfied.
Several new members were elected, and
a proposition to restrict the privilege of
the floor to members OF the club was de-
feated.
HAD TO MOVE THE CLASS.
