soual Notes.



prrERsBuRo, VA, Aug. 81, 1889.
The train from The West was crowded
this morning with delegates en- route to
Tho Norfolk Convention, and extra
coaches had TO he attached here to seat
tho DELEGATES in waiting from this sec
tion. General Malone went down this
morning. taking n seat in one of the
Pullman cars. AS the train moved OF
thc Republicans on the platform raised
their hats to him and gave him n cheer,
receiving smile Of acknowledgment IN
return. The faces Of many of the Ma
hone Republicans are missing from our
etreets today and Norfolk is hoDored
with them.
Ex-Governor William +. Cameron
came mp from Norfolk this morning:
whittier he went yesterday on Driei
business trip. flo says that the under
standing Is tina. mono OF the anti Ma
honei.es will enter the convention,
though il is probable that few straS-
Cling delegates may find Their way there
IN.
The feeling here to-day is that on the
declination Of General Malone, should
he not be induced to run, the nomina-
ton for Governor will fall either upon
Colonel Lamb, of the extreme eastern
norton OF the State, or upon Mr.. Bowen,
from the extreme southwest.
In letter received here from Hon.
=. w. McKinny that gentleman speaks
in gratifying terms of the many letters
of generalization and encouragement
that have been sent him from all por-
tions OF the State.

light OF other campaigns, it may be said

Friends Of General Stith Boiling say
there is no foundation for the rumors III
circulation here that bis commission as
postmaster has been delayed by repre-

sooner than some people think. Rumor
attributed the trouble to Republican
