In refiieuce to tho interview with PS-Mayor Follows in yesterday's I K1B0SB, County Chairman Divid W Poweli, over his own signature, has BQi plinl the following statement! Kx-ttjr.yor Follows having state 1 that my aellon endangered the parti 'a b.at in terests etc., 1 wish, in reply, to states few Words and to give tho public u few facts in the matter. As to the calling ot tbe county convention 1 ikuro to say that uot one member of either the executive or tbe connty committee has spoken io me or requested mo to call a meeting of the coin- mutee tor tnat purpose. Not one ottbe many candidates, with thu exception cf iur. l eaows i;ui--ii, candidates who are certainly entitled to some consideration and who are aspiring for the nomination for county OfQces, bus requested me to m use a can until recently. Ou last Thursday 1 (lid receive from the hands of E, ii. House a petition signed bv sixuen members ef the executive com mittee requesting me to call the county committee together on Juno 80. Before the petition was banded to me two of the Signers came to me and said they hud Mijued their ua'ues to such a petitioa, but I need not give it any consideration on that aceo.int. Since 1 received the petition tbrco mute signers expressed themseives in the same wny. beside:', three Of them stated that there waj no date mentioned on tho petition when they signed, bnt was afterwards added, and if uot greatly mistaken in ilr. Fellows' own handwriting. These three nun are willing to sigu a paper to that effect it need be. According to section 1, rule 8, of the Republican party rules, it is the duty of the county committee to designate the time aud place for holding connty conventions, etc., and not that of the executive committee, as Mr. Fellows States, with all duo respec; to that. body. Tne county committee is com posedof 148 members. If Air. Fellows thought it necessary to petition me for a call of this committee why did ho not get a iii ijoiity ot this committee to sigu? The ObairmaD In that e ase could uot very well refuse to call them together. Taking all these things into considera tion, 1 dc nied it advisable to deter the call until such time as I could confer with most of tho candidates, and some of tho memoen ot tne county committee to have their views as to the proper time to tunko a cali, Since then I have called upon a number Ol the candidates and members of tho county committee, and they immedi ately expressed themselves satisfied to have a meeting of the county committee called on Saturday, July 14, at 2 p. m. In accordance with the wishes, I have called a meeting of the said committee on the above date. In conclusion I would say that in this I do not think I am exercising the powers ot an autocrat or that I consider mystlf the whole committee, as Mr. Fellows iuti mates; neither do I bolive m ono man dic tating, regardless of others' iutersts. I am always willing to abide by the will of the majority, when properly obtained, if any one is at present jeopardising the best in terestS ot his party, it is the person that is trying to force an improper isoue. ANOTHIR MEETING GALLED. A circular hearing tho signature of "J, W. Drowning, secretary of the connty committee,'' was yesterday moiled to members of the eouuty com mittee notifying and requiting them to attend a meeting of that body next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the rooms of tho Central Republican club. It was based npo;i the alleged refusal of Chairman Powell to grant the re quest of tiio sixteon members of the county executive committee whe re cently signod a potition desiring that u meeting of the county committee be called ou the diits sp?oifitd.
