PETERSBURG August IS. 1889.
The Dispdfch correspondent approached e1-
Governor Cameron to-day on the suhlect OF tue
recent Republican meetings In this CITY aud tho
alleged compromise patched mp In Washing
ton 10y Quay, Dudley, and others. WIN the ef-
/ pectation and hope Of making virginia kepup-

from Petersburg 70 tho Norfolk Convention were
captured by the Mahoneites hos dlngusted INC
fsir-minded Republicans there eau Dc no doup;
Tina. such action here as well as elsewhere VIII
sorve 10 weaken the party seems 70 Dc a isct Do
yond dispute.
"Ho. abcut the war1-meetings on Tuesday
night - was asked of Governor Cameron.
81 nave not been 10 ward-lneetnR. no re-
piled, "since 1871. I purpOsely sDsented myselI
on Tuesday night knowing what the tactics OF
The minority would be. The politicians knoWa
a. the Mahoneites in this state ore only nc
Guainted with three elements Of management
FORCE. FRAUD. AID FINANCE
The strikers furnish tho force. tho great chief
tain furnishes tho machinery for fraud, and tue
Gsludcd northern Republicans furnish tho
finance VIVA, / hesr OF these meetings Is 10
the effect that. ms usual the anti hanone voters
elected NH the delegates and secured none"
II Is an iusult,n continued the ex-Governor,
"to the intelligence and manhood Of the re-
spectacle Republicans In virginia ~ presume
for ono minute that they will submit 10 such
treatment. Look at the proceedings in Lynch
burg. Portsmouth. Shenandoah. aud. In TACT,
everywhere else. and 1t will be seen that the
SAME PIEATJCAL SYSTEM
hns been followed. Tho history u Pennsylya-
MIA in the PGttisOn campaign ana OF ihioh N
tho New YORK campaign in1tcatos the remedy
for this condition OF affairs Our people every
where should refuse 10 have anything 10 % WIN
Mshonc's convention At Norfolk or support the
ticket that General Malone may namo there.
This Il my advice 70 theni, and hope and re-
lievc that many good Republicans IN the STATE
certainly suf1icen; number TO accoinplioh the
object 10 vieW-wil act on It. l speak only Tor
myself but feel sure that voice me sentiment
Of n great majority OF tho Republicans IN VIZ
ginia who have made the party SUCCESSFUL IN inc
past and constitute its
Only HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
I allude 10 such men % the Lewises the
Yosts Pendleton. Groner. Iibbey, the Bookcrs,
tho Hubbards, Brown OF LOudoun, and many
others"
THAT COMPROMISE.
but. Governor. how about that compro-
mise?"
WeIl,n he said. ~ haven't heard Of any. !
have known that several officials very near to
tho head OF the National Administration have
cOmproufssf their veracity and do know that
General Malone. Notwithstanding the sO-called
agreement. has pursued his old false methods.
so Judge that the only thing that has been
compromised is the character OF some people
for trutufulness and 81 others for FAR dealing !;
and that the only way 10 give effective rebuse 10
such proceed ngs Is TO refuse to vote for the re-
suit"
GOING TO PROTEST.
"Will not such course antsgonize the Admin
istration?"
Not necessarily said the Ex-Governor
"1he President Of the United states can maze
his own choi e about the matter. hahOnes po-
litcel promise 10 paw IS going to protest In No
vembcr, and IL Mr.. Harrison chooses to be tho
endors r II il noboly's fault but his own II be
should be Joined in the protest"
Ex-Governor Cameron was very einphauc IN
making these statements, and having read
them said he wished them 10 so 10 the puDlc as
his own.
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Democratic State ticket nominated By tho
convention to-day created positive enthusiasm
here. II il considered invincible and success -
felt 10 he beyond doubt. Nenable. Beirne, and
Mckinney all have strong friends here ana
either One OF them would have given satisfaction
10 the Souta side. There IS great rejoicing that
the convention has done It's WORK so well AID in
such harmony and good feeling.
STILL FASTING.
The negro murderer Henry Moore, who Is
confined In one Of the dungeon cells Of the jail
here. still refuses 70 take any food. Whom asked
the question by one q the deputy sai geants this
morning If he intended TO starve himself 10
death he replied yes He says no ~ not sick,
and that he does not want anything. There 10 no
way Of making him eat Ills refusal ~ nOurish-
ment Is positive. The pangs OF hunger may,
however, yet overcome him. ROBIN ADAlR.
