The State Democratic Committee will
meet at Murphy's Hotel tonight at

Chairman Ellyson, but not announced,
have also been invited to be present and
take part in the discussion of the partys

State. especially with reference TO the
contests for members OF the General

not TO have been sanctioned by all OF
those who were named az delegates by IT,
as is evidenced by the following, received
yesterday;
Richmond. Va. September 20, 1891.
The Richmond Dispatch:
Please publish that / did not authorize
John Mitchell or any of his gang TO APP
point me a delegate TO the Lamb conyen-
ton to be held at Lynchburg Va, on
October 5th. / positively decline TO serve
I'm any such convention. / belong TO the
Waddnl and Allan faction Of the Repubh-
can party. and recognize Park Agnew
as the only chairman Of the Republican
party Of Virginia. Very respectfully.

]. ID. Pearman, Nicholas Dansen, and
Edward Mitchell are three more dele

Matthew Dickerson, who was there and
allowed his name to be used, has re-
canted. and In the fohOWlnS cara gives
his reason therefor
Henrico County, September 20, 1891.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
/ desire to state that the action Of
meeting held on September q. 1897,
which elected delegates TO Colonel
Lambs Lynchburg convention, was taken
without my being fully advised as TO its
intent. | am now satisfied that the con-
ventiOn will be held solely for the pur-
pose Of producing discord in the party
and attempting 10 create L dual or
ganization thereof.
am too loyal to the party to be thus
led away, and hereby declare that l
propose to stand by the regular organi-
zation. OF which Hon. Park Agnew is
chairman, and will not attend the Lynch
burg convention.
MATTHEW DICKERSON.
