NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Republi-
can national executive committee was
called together at II o'clock this MORN
ing at the Fifth avenue headquarters.
The anti-Mahone wing of the party in
Virginia bad four delegates there at
hour to plead their cause and ask the
support of the committee in their efforts
to reunite the party in that state. Con-
greSSmaD Wise made several PROPOSE
tionS to the committee, which his fac
tion would agree to- if the Mahoneites
would concede certain other points, so
that an understanding could be arrived
at tor the placing of but one electoral
ticket in the field. The committee,
after several stipulations, adjourned
without telling the VirginianS their de-
termination, but it is likely that Gen.
Malone will again see the committee
before truce will be declared.
The national Republican executive
committee subsequent adopted the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this COM
mittee that the proposal made by the Repub-
Hcan committee of Virginia, presided over
by General Malone, to submit the question
as to electors in the six contested districts OF
Virginia to the district conventions to be con
be accepted by that wing of the Republican
party presided over by Col. Houston, but we
are further of the opinion that in the inter
est of harmony the persons calling the meet
ings to elect delegates and the district con-
yentions to order should not designate the
temporary chairman, but that the selections
of said chairman should be left entirely TO
the meetings and conventions themselves.
j. S. FAssETT, Secretary.
Pursuant to the above, the following
has been presented:
To the Republican Voters of Virginia: The
undersigned, having presented the differ
ences in the Republican party OF Virginia
touching electors in the Second, Third Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth congressional dis
triets to the national Republican committee,
and that committee having adopted the reso-
lutions hereto annexed, we do heartily and
cordially commend its suggestions to all Re-
publican voters of the state. In doing this
we assume that the Republican voters of
Virginia will accept the resolution of the
national committee as to the mode of pro-
ceedings both in precinct and county meet
ings and in the district conventions, and
hat such meetings and conventions SO con-
stituted will give fair, free and full express
sion of the will of the Republican voters
who assemble i'll the meetings and the dele
gates in convention. We, therefore, call
upon all Republicans in Virginia who have
heretofore taken part with us in the recent
unfortunate division of our party, to attend
the precinct and county meetings called for
the selection of delegates to our district con
gressional convention and take part In said
proceedings, and wherever such are elected
delegates to attend to said district conven-
ton and abide by their action as to the ques-
ton of electors. The suggestions of the
national committee, if observed, and we
doubt not that they will be observed,
part of loyal Republicans to attend
ing said meetings and conventions, and are
sufficient guarantees for cordial unity
among all Republicans in our state in the eff
tort to secure twelve Republican electors
from Virginia pledged to Harrison, Morton
and protection. In all earnestness, loyalty
and sincerity we make this appeal to the
members OF our party, and congratulate them
upon happy ending of all cause of differ
ence among Virginia Republicans as to the
electoral ticket. W. d. GRoNER,
Chairman and elector Second district;
James ID. Brady, member national commit
tee; John S. Wise, ID. III. Houston. stat e
chairmen; Lewis Mckenzie, elector Eighth
district, being the committee appointed by
the Republican state committee at meeting
of Aug. 8.
