The Reply.
Following is Mr. Ellys0n : state
ment
Mr. Andrew Jackson Montague in
hts reply tn my criticism OF his add
dress made al stanton. seems to he
very much concerned about the pro-
priety OF the chairman OF the State
committee taking any part IN the con
test for the nomination OF United
States senator
The chairman has not in any man
ner taken part in the contest for
these nominations. and remained silent
until he himself was publicly asssiied
by candidates for that office and by
Mr.. Montague. If the criticisms had
-4----rf- merely personal I should not
have felt obliged 10 make any pub
lie reply. but when / remembered
that the Democratic party in Virginia
had honored me for more than TWEEN
ty-one years with IT'S unanimous call
20 the leadership Of the party. ] fG.
