CALL FOR REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE
The VALLEY Tirginian, the leading republic
can paper in the State, but which strongly
opposed the election of General Malone
SAWS "The result of the election on the 5.h
demonstrates that large portion Of the
re- e Getting members of the party are not
willing longer to recognize the pretensions
of General Malone, and will not serve un-
der his arbitrary rule. La view OF the &C.
clarad sentiment az recorded at the polls, 1t
Ia essentially necessary that there should be,
at as early day as practicable, general
conference called In Richmond, to determ-
inc on and formulate plan for future &C.
tion." 1t suggests to Gen. Groner that he
issue call for general conference at such
time and place, as may appear to him best,
after oouferring with other republicans In
convenient distance from him.
This meeting will probably convene In
Richmond 10 the next week and take the
action necessary to place the leaders 10
communication with President Harrison.
RESOLUTIONS will probably be adopted de.
handing Mahone's resignation as the head
of the party in Virginia.
The "klckers" feel assured that after Ma
homes overwhelming defeat that President
Harrison cannot longer recognize him as the
Influential leader that his friends have
claimed. OF course, Malone will begin then
to fight with sill the energy characteristic OF
the map.

thereupon handed the usher her card, with
the request that it be given TO Mrs. Hhrr:-
son on her return.
Mr.. Cleveland Inquired for he President
and being Informed that he was in, elighted
and was shown into the green perlor, where
he was Immediately joined By the Pfesi-

How do you do ~ said both simultane-
ously. Then they sat down and talked
about general topics for half an hour, dur
log which, it ia understood, the President
made good natured reference TO the recent
elections, which Mr. Cleveland answered 10
the same spirit.
After bidding the President good bye,
Mr.. Cleveland re entered his carriage aud

Ms. BARBOUR Is FOR PEACE-Seuator
Barbour while in Washington yesterday,
said: 81 hope there will be no serenades or
parades or macs meetings, or anything Of
the kind. think we have had about
enough of politics in Virginia for awhile.
Such demonstrations only keep up the pres
ent feeling of Irritation, and can do no pos
sble good. Let's all get back to business
again now and drop politics." Senator
Barbour expressed the deepest regret at
what had happened at Petersburg Tuesday
night. Mr.. Barbour thinks that General
Malone is done with Virginia politics. He
repels with disdain the idea that there could
have been any fraud. He thinks that the
democrats have elected at least eighty of
the one hundred members of the House of
Delegates, and possibly eight.fve. The
Senator leaves Washington to-day for long
rest,

Ex Gov, Cameron interviewed.

Ex-Governor Cameron was asked IN
Petersburg yesterday if lie would give his
views in regard to what ne thought of Gen
era Mahone's defeat on last Tuesday. His
reply was Just as l said month ago,
that neither the republicans nor the demo
Gratis would no longer tolerate Malone.
The General at Norfolk, at the time OF hs
80. called nomination, said that the "klckers"
perhaps, had following of about five
hundred in The State. he was explicit also
to say that the anti Malone republicans OF
Virginia were all officers and no troops. l
expect If he looks at the returns now from
the towns and counties where the promi
nent kickers live he will 6nd that
thousands of republicans voted against
Malone, and an examination OF the
tabular returns will show that the
'kickers' got their work in on the little Gen.
eral; that the kickers voted early and
contributed largely to the ms lrity by which
Malone has been retired from any future
practical Influence in Virginia politics"
will he not try to recover" was asked.
"Of course he will. He will go to Washing
ton as supplioant. He will there poise as
a martyr. He will cry fraud. He will ask
Harrison to give him salve for his wounds
here, but there is nothing big enough left
over for him. The President has nothing to
give General Malone which is large enough
10 dignity or salary to compensate him for
the unauimlty with which the good people
of Virginia have turned bin down." What
will your people do as to the iuture of re
pnblicanism In Virginis?' was next asked.
II do not know. AZ to myself consider
that President Harrison went 10 protest
last Tuesday as indorser of Mahone's
note, and ! have no more to ask
of one of them than have to
ask of the other. / believe the result Of
Tuesdays election TO have been, North and
South, a substantial rebuke to the pretenses
and hypocrsies of MIR. Horizons admins
tration. In Virginia, Oaio, and New York
the President refused recognition to the
friends who had nominated him, and in
each OF these States rscogn and assisted
the wors, elements of his own party, and In
these States, us we'll as in New York, sfter
less than twelve months of service as Pres
Ident he has received at the hands CT the
people who elected him full notice that his
administration of public affairs has not been
satisfactory to them. 1t will not do to say
that General Malone can lean upon Presi-
dent Harrison for future political life.
There are republicans In Virginia, not Ma.
homeless who have the right now to gain
the ear of Mr.. Harrison"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. s, 1889.

Senator Barbour, of Virginia, was here to-
day. He Gays he has received private let
ter from Mr.. Dupey, the democratic candi'
date for the Legislature in Prince Edwards
county, in his State.to the effect that though,
according to the published report, his Ma.
hone opponent was elected, he is pretty cer.
tain that the official returns will prove that
he has been. Prince Edwards is Governor
McKinney's own county. Mr.. Barbour
seems much gratifed at the sweeping demo-
cratic victory in Virginia, and says that eve.
~ body in the State who was instrumental
in gaining it deserves credit. In that num-
Der he includes the "kckers," who, he ssys,
afforded the democrats valuable assistance.
Mr.. Leedom, sergeant at arms OF the U.
8. House of Representatives, arrived here
from his home in Ohio this morning. He
saws the democrats have not only gained

publicans by the latters' defeat will not be
healed for years. He says the democrats
have clear majority Of nine on joint ballot

by a satisfactory majority is assured, but

State is still in doubt and will have to be

1t Ia rumored here that privately the
President tells his friends that the result o
the election in Virginia has shaken his faitf

he was never more grossly deceived in hi
