Chesterton was deliberately allusive, but obviously expected his readers to get it. Thus the only thing that obscures this great man's identity is time. I imagine that access to the critical edition of Chesterton's articles in the Daily Mail (ISBN 978-1848932135) would easily clear the matter up, but without it, I am forced to speculate. Given the clues (published author, had a white beard, lived near Dorking, died before 1909), my best guess is

George Meredith.
