DIR. DUNAwAY FIGURES LARGELY.
Dr. w. T. Dunaway, the represen-
tative from Lancaster, is making au
able fghto on his recommendation to
seat Morgan Treat, the Republican
contestantfrom West Point of Judge
Gregory's seat in the Conven ton.
In supporting his resolution Mr..
Dunaway said that he had been
forced to the conclusion set forth in
the majority report despite his in
cllnation. The election officers and
machinery were in the hands of the
Democrats, and he was confident
that it would be conceded that if the
returns showed a Republican ma
jority had been returned it was
reasonably certain that the Republi.
can had gotten the votes. he was
of opinion that Mr.. Treat had been
regularly elected and Was entitled to
the seat ia the convention.
The Richmond Times has this to
say OF ourrepresentative: "Rev. DIR.
w. +. Dunaway, the preacher-states-
man from Lancaster county, is one
of the abIst members of the con-
yention. He is alsoa splendid speci-
men Of the old Virginia gentleman
and the very Indictment of honesty
and integrity. DIR. Dnnaway is a
graduate in law and was in active
practice up to thirty years ago, when
ne went into the ministry, where
since he has been bright and shin
ing light DIR. Dunaway has lost
none of the early training acquired
at the bar, and has started out in
the management of the majority
report In the Treat Gregory contested
election case with as much dexterity
and ability as if he were an old-time
lawyer and parliamentarian. He
quoted statute law and referred to
in his speech Yesterday
with as much ease as if he were now
n active practice. He is careful.
'tudious and intelligent representa-
i've. and goes to the bottom of every
subject be undertakes to fathom."
