Senate, while such men a Col, Sinclair, George Eaves and John Pool have advised him that he had a grievance and that he could not refuse to run. The grounds upon which he has been made to say he must run are that there were irregu laritiesin the primaries at Old Fort, Buck Creek, Marion and in Monday the Campbell and Gudger factions compromised and none of the delegates desired to vote other than as they did in the Sen atorial matter. Yours truly. Thos. G. Lytle. they both stated that in their opinion Maj. Conley would not have been in the race at all if it had not been for Col. Sin clair and Mr. Eaves urging him.

He aid the Republicans were j oming to a pretty pass when ( hey could not find material ( nough in their own ranks to take up a county ticket, and ave notice that he would not upport the ticket nominated the position of using Mr. Eaves' personal organ to make charges against a person when its col umns are closed to a reply, and then not come lorward when a demand is made that a joint discussion be had. If it be said he is not a public speaker, then as Col. Smcilair has written for him, let him be his Aaron and speak for him. If he desires and can use him he can bring Mr. Eaves along also. The primaries were held on Julv 12th. Mi. r Eaves spent a part of Sunday, July 13th, at Major Conley's house July 14th, Major Conley had in his possession the "Ashe ville Gazette" containing sub stantially the 8a me charges that are set out by Mr. Eaves and Col. Sincilair in the News and by Maj. Conley in his card. After he had read them and heard Mr, Eaves' statement, as he no doubt did on bundav, he signed an agreement with me which is in the following langauge "We, W. A. Conley and E. J Justice, agree that on a vote be tween us in the Democratic coun ty convention this day, that the to your interest in minor mat ters, and when he endeavored to put through other schemes you explained to the conven tion why he was making the fight, what he was attempting to do by his methods, and stated that Col. Sinclair did not have the interest of the Democratic party at heart but desired to injure you for personal reasons. It appears to me impossible that anyone was misled by him to support it by Major Con- your statements; but the fact Conley would, is without the semblance of foundation. I never said a word that would justify Mr. Eaves' statement. Major Conley and I have not talked about politics recently but he stated to a number of persons fast Wednesday that he would withdraw if I would, and I be lieve Mr. Eaves knew that he suid it when he stated in his edi torial that I had made the prop osition. If Mr. Eaves takes is sue with me about this, I ask ley's statement. My obligation to the Democratic party as its nominee would prevent my making a trade that would leave it without a nominee for Sena tor. If the people who desire to turn republicans wish to be open and fair about it, thev should sav, it seems to me, thev hare changed their political beliefs and oppose the party to which thev formerly belonged. This would be much more creditable than to fol low the lead of such men as Sin clair and Eaves, declaring that they are Democrats until they have landed in the midst of the Republican party. It will be ts, tne majority was tor you and so expressed themselves outside, and by their votes. In the county convention you took no part until alter the vote. Then your friends stated that you and Major Conley had agreed that the one havihg a majority of the votes should have the entire county vote. Mr. Eaves ob jected to this and made one of his high-flown speeches. You arose, read the plain agree ment, and asked Major Conley if he would stand by it. Mr. Eaves said the major would not. You told Mr. Eaves that 1 1 y the meeting. BEWARE OF THE KNIFE. a . . I - .

Mr. Eaves stated there publicly that Major Conley wanted to be re leased from this agreement, when l said to him that he was not fit to be guardian for Major Conley or any one else, and I demanded that Major Conley answer for himself.. Me . did so and every delegate in the convention saw that, at the time, Mr. Eaves was imploring him to violate his agreement and bolt the conven tion. He did not do so then and now has no right to do so. It has always been regarded as highly improper to go into a convention and then bolt it. That is a game of "heads I win, tails you lose". Col. Sinclair is not supporting any of the Democratic nominees and is said to be a standiner candidate for the Republican en dorsement to the legislature and had not understood it. vou would release him from the agreement. He said "I didn't want to run any how, and guess I will have nothing more to do with it." Mr. Price asked if he then withdrew, and he said yes. It may be of interest to vou for me to state that I felt Mr. Eaves was trying to make trouble in the convention and I was reminded then of a statement that was made- to me by Mr. W. F.

Subsequent events indi cate that there was truth in this statement. It is generally understood that Major Conley would not have run if he had not been over-persuaded by Col. Sin clair and Mr, G. G. Eaves. and what I saw in the primary and in the county convention causes me to feel this is true. J. M. Ellis.
