Cameron Dickering With Ma
Hone,
AN AGREEMENT BY WHICH THE RE
PUBLICANS MAY ELECT TWO,
CONGRESsMEN.


CoNGREssMEN.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19.--There
were no further Democratic conferences
with Senator-elecs Malone to-day OF
any importance. Speaker Randall is IN
New York, and Gen. Roger A. Pryor
and Abram S. Hewett have gone not to
return. Mahone's ultimatum has gone
forth that the Funder electoral ticket
must be wlthdra gn. He has already
been dickering with the Republicans,
notably Senator Cameron, and the re-
suit, as near as can be learned, is this !:
The Republican candidates for Congress
in the Norfolk and Peters ourg districts,
Dezendorf and JOrgensen are to have
no opposition from the Readjuster party.
In return the Republicans are now to
withdraw their candidates for Congress
in the other seven districts, and the ne
groes are to support the Readjuster can
dida;es. By this means Malone ex-
poets not only to capture the State, bu.
a majority Of Congressman. In fact,
he expects to get six out otthe nine and
is quite willing to allow the Republicans
two of the remaining three.
The reason. of Mohone's appearance
in this city Is this -: Speaker Randall
had been in correspondence with HIM
for several weeks, and wanted to meet
him in Washington. That, however,
was too open, and so was New Ysrk,
and therefore split the difference and
came here. Malone giving as a reason
that he was here on business concerning
q railroad with which be is conn ected.
Gen. Pryor was sent over here from
New York TO get his ultmatum and he
got It. As the matter now stands Ma
hone insists on ruuElng his electoral
ticket, and on the withdrawal OF the
Funder ticket, or else it is war to the
knife. He promises Speaker Randall aud
other Democrats that if his ticket is
elected he will cast it for Hancock. The
only thing the Democrats are afraid OF
is that there is a possibility that he
will forget that he made any such prom
ise. They don't like bis confabs with
the Republicans,an with good reasons.
RICHMOND, Oct. l9.-The highest
Readjuster authority in the State says
that the scheme which has been under
advlseme Mt by the Republicans for the
withd rawal of all of their Congressiopa,
candldat es, except in the Norfolk and
Petersburg districts, has been agreed
to, and will be carried out. This
makes it plain sailing for most of the
Readjuster aspirants, especially in
districts where there is large negro
vote. This plan has been agreed to on
the unders tandng that the Readjusters
are tc give the Republican candidates
no trouble in the Norfolk and Peters,
burg districts, where that party have
more strength than IN other portion OF
the State. In the remaining seven
districts the Readjusters are to have
the support and influence of the Repub'
licans. The names Of the Readjuster
candidates for Congress will be printed
upon their Hancock and English and
Garfield and Arthur electoral tickets,
thus insunug the vote OF all Of the
negroes in their districts. The induce
ment which led the Republican mana
gers to adopt this scheme is the hope
that they may be able TO secure an ad-
dilional Congressman from this State
in the election of Dezcndorf 10 the
Norfolk district. The Funder Demo-
Gratis are making efforts to secure ad-
herents OF both wings OF the party to
concentrate upon Goode, regardless OF
their dissenslons on the debt question.
In a measure this plan will succeed:
but Judge Lacy, the Democratic Read
juster, will remain in the field and
draw OF enough strength from the
whites to leave Goods chances for
election very slight, la that district
the negroes have about 1000 more
votes than the whites. 1t is understood
that fund will be furnished ID pay
up the poll tax of these. The outlook
at present is promising for the election
of Dezendorf The retirement OF lthe
Republican candidates in their districts
will very greatly increase the chances
of the election Of James A. Frazier over
Randolph Tucker, J. I. Stoval over
Cabell, John Paul, and Abram Fulker-
son, whose success is conceded by his
