WASHINGTON. July 2O.--The confer
snces which have been going on here for
the past three days between Chairman
Quay, Messrs. Clarkson, Dudley, Fes-
sender and Hobart OF the Republican
national committee, and the Malone
and anti-Mahone Virginia Republicans
with view to harmonizing the troubles
Of the party in that state have finally
ended.
The Brady and Groner anti-AIahone
element first submitted TO arbitration
and pledged themselves to abide with
the decision of the national committee
man and the Malone side showed simi-
lar desire 10 reach unity through the aid
of the national committee.
The National ~CommIttee's Conclusions.
A conclusion was reached by the Ma
tional committee approving Of the call
for state convention to be issued by
Gen, Malone as chairman of the regular
committee, and Dir. Brady on behalf OF
the other side concerned in this action Of
the committee.
The complaint of the anti Malone Re-
publicans was that they had not been
allowed to have free and open conven-
tions in precinct, county and state: that
the chairman OF the party committees
appointed by Mahone's chairman always
named the temporary chairman and sec
retary Of the precinct and county con
ventions and did not give full and open
conventions for the expression Of indie
vtdual Republican preferences.
The Grievance Remediatl.
The call for the state convention to be
held on Aug. % is so broadened as to
give the protection thus asked.
1t provides that the precinct and
county conventions shall elect their own
officers and that their permanent chair
man and secretary shall certify the dele
gates elected to the chairman of the
committee. 1t also provides that the
first duty of the state convention after
the reading of the call shall be to have
read a list of the delegates certified by
the county conventions to the state COM
mittee. 1t also provides that dissenting
delegates shall be admitted to seats on
the floor of the convention.
Manifesto by the National Committee.
This much having been agreed upon
IN the conferences and embodied in the
call which is made public, is suDple-
mented by the following;

Quay has always been recognized as
identified in sympathy with the Malone
element and the four others have always
made the record in national conventions
and committees of sympathy with the
other side. 1t shows the substantial
character Of the conclusion reached when
these gentlemen unite in approving the
call and in urging the Republicans Of
Virginia to unite under 1t.
CiarksOn and Quay Interviswed.
Chairman Quay and Vice Chairman
ClarksOn. in conversation with reporter
Of the United Press, said, I'VE found
both elements sincerely anxious 70 effect
party unity. Mr.. Brady and Mr.. GrOner
and their friends submitted themselves
20 the arbitration Of the national COM
mitfee and in every way showed them
selves notOnly reasonable but intelligent
and anxious 20 accomplish q complete
harmony. Gen. Malone and his friends
showed equal sincerity In trying to unite
the party. The whole session Of three
days has been pleasant, and nothing in
the least unpleasant has occurred. We
sbelleye It is an honest fand independent
reconciliation which projects the honor
and independence Of all the Republicans
n Virginia and which ought to fand we
believe will thoroughly unite the party. =
