party action or control in the various states
has felt 1t to be duty to consider the causes
Of dissatisfaction in Virginia. After conference
with the recognized representatives of the diff

finding all Of them sincerely desirous of party
unity and success, We approve Of the call for q
state convention to be held at Norfolk on the
22d Of August, 1889, signed by William Malone

and open conventions in precinct, county, city
and state. We ask all republicans. and all
friends Of protection to American industries in
Virginia, to unite under this call for action now
and success in November
