den. of Connecticut. and Mr.. Hobart, OF

represented by General Malone, Con-
gresham Bowden and two Republicans

cision of the national committee, ana the

Malone, as chairman of the regular com
mittee. and Mr.. Brady. on behalf of the
committee. The complaint of the anti Ma

been allowed to have free and open con-
yentions in precinct. county and Statei
that the chairman of the party
Mahone's chairman, always named
retary of the, precinct and county
open conventions for the expression of in
dividual Republican preferences. The call
for the State convention to be held on the
I'D of August is so brOadened as to give tho
protection thus asked. 1t provides that
the precinct and county conventions shall
elect their own officers. and that their per-
manent chairman and secretary shall GER
tify the delegates elected to the chairman
of the State committee. 1t also provides
that the first duty of the State convention
after the reading of the call shall be to
have read list of the delegates certified
by the county conventions to the State
committee. 1t also provides that dissent
ing delegates shall be admitted to seats on
the floor of the convention. The national
committee gives the following approval OF
the call:
"The Republican national executive COM
mittee, while disclaiming any jurisdiction
in local party action or control in the va
rious States, has felt it to be duty to con-
slider the cause of dissatisfaction in Vir-
ginia. After conference with the recog-
nized representatives of the different ele-
ments of the party in that State. and find
ing all of them sincerely desirious of party
unity and success, we approve of the call
for State convention TO be held at Nor
| folk on the 22d of August, 1889, signed by
William Malone, chairman. 1t gives am
| pie assurance of free and open conventions
| In precinct, county. city and State. We
ask all Republicans and all friends of pro-
| lection to American industry In Virginia to
unite under this call for action now and
| success in November.

81 concur heartily in this action of the na-
| tional committee. JAMES ID. BRADY,
| Member National Committee for Virginia"
Of the five members of the national CON-
mittee signing the above statement, and
approving the call. Senator Quay has al
ways been recognized as identified in
| sympathy with the Malone element, and
| the four others have always made the
record in national conventions and commit
| tees of sympathy with the other side.
| Chairman Quay and Vice-chairman Clark
| son, in conversation with representative
| of the Associated Press. this evening said:
I'VE found both elements sincerely anxious
| to effect party unity. Mr.. Brady and Mr..
| Groner and their friends submitted them
selves to the arbitration of the national
committee, and in every way showed them
selves not only reasonable. but intelligent
and anxious to accomplish harmony. Gen.
Malone and his friends showed equal SINGER
| ity in trying to unite the party. The whole
session of three days has been harmonious.
and nothing in the least unpleasant oc-
cured. We believe it is an honest and in
dependent reconciliation which protects the
honor and independence of all Republicans
in Virginia. and which ought; and we be-
heve will, thoroughly unite the p arty.
Gen. Malone has issued a call for State
convention of the Republicans of Virginia
to be held at Norfolk, beginning Aug. % at
| IL noon. The provisions of the call are
| framed in accordance with the agreement
reached by the leaders of the opposing fac
tions and members of the Republican na-
tional committee.
