THE STATE COMMITTEE.

The State democratic executive and
State central committees met 10 Rich
mond yesterday. For the first time
in years the reporters of papers were
invited from the room. The liveliest
topic was that OF the joint debates. Mr..
Ellyson had Secretary Hankius read
republican Chairman Park Agnew's
challenge. Congressman Jones pref
sced his remarks 10 opposition to &C.
cepting Mr.. Agnew's Invitation by
reading a somewhat lengthy letter from
Col. l.. Q. Washington. in which the
colonel argued that the democrats had
all to lose and nothing to gain by en-.
gsging 10 discussions with republicans
10 the South. He contended that il
would be unwise for democrats to
furnish republicans with white audi
ences; that the best campaign speech
the democrats could make would be to
have their own white crowds and leave
TO talk to the blacks end such few
whites as might associate With them.
Mr.. Jones spoke briefly against ac'
cepting Mr.. Agnew's proposition. Mr..
Irving t. p. Whitehead, OF Amherst,
made two speeches against turning
down Mr.. Agnsw's proposition. Leave
this whole matter to the local commit
tees" said be. There should be no
general rule laid down. 1t might be
all right to decline joint discussions 10
Brunswick and 10 Dinwiddie, but up in
my county there are many white men
who vote first with one party and then
with another. Now, when these peo-
pie learn the democrats have refused 70
discuss the issues with the republican
orators they are going to listen to the
republicans. say, let the local CON-
mittees decide. II there should De any
