PETERSBURG, Va, October 16, 1882.
During his speech in this city last night
Hon. John 4. Massey took occasion 10 pay
n Glowing tribute 20 Ex-Governor William
f. Cameron. and at the same time to at
tribute to that gentleman the authorship
of the scathing articles OF indictneht
against General Malone unanimously
adopted by the recent Republican confer
ence in Richmond. have it from the best
authority that while this indictment was
worthy of the pen of Ex-Governor Came
ron. every word therein was written by
Mr.. Heermans, one Of the delegates to the
conference.
There is O great desire here to hear ex-
Senator Riddleberger speak in Petersburg.
He would have an immense audience TO
hear him il he can spare the time during
this campaign TO pay our city visit
IL is learned from authoritative sources
that the consent OF John Nj. Langston TO
speak for the Republican State ticket III
Virginia rests upon the following PROPOSE
ton, which he has submitted as his ultl-
matum: That the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee. Of which General william
Malone is chairman, shall extend to him
formal invitation TO take the stump, cou;
pied with positive assurance that General
Malone shall not only cease ell opposition
TO his Nangston's) contest for the seat IN
Congress from this district, but give as
surance also Of support III that contest.
This demand the three members of the
State Committee, who met Langston IN
conference last Friday night, as tele-
graphed to the Dispatch, could not grant.
II IS not believed by those who pre-;
tend 10 know Malone best, and
who are most familiar with his
opinions about the negroes, that he
will ever consent to yield TO any
such demand He may make. verbal as
sertions, but written pledges he will not
give. IL is also as positively asserted by
the friends of LangstOn that he Will not
Weld in his demands for recognition, back
ed as he claims to be by the almost solid
negro vote of the district, and that II his
demands are not acceded to there will be
large falling of of the negro vote on the
day of election. The published declara-
ton that Malone is trying to build mp
white Republican party. in Nlr-
ginia and to practically leave the
negro TO himself CRATES rather harshly
upon the colored voters who have all the
while constituted the bulk OF the party IN
this State. In view Of these facts the re-
port of the committee of negroes appoint
ed to wait on the State Committee and as
certain what is proposed to be done about
Langston-which report IL TO be made to-
morrow nights looked for with interest.
Another Radical northern congressman,
in the person of G. n. Brumm. of Pennsyl-
vania. has been imported into Virginia to
speak in the interests of Malone. lie IS
here to-day and speaks at the Academy of
Music tonight. ostensibly to wOrklngmen,
whose champion he claims to be. The
Democrats do not fear these SOuth-haters
and slanderers who come from the North
TO instruct them how to vote. They
know that all of the best men and best
speakers Of the Republican party IN Viz
ginia have left Mshone, and that the latter
Is forced by circumstances to lmpOrtnOrth-
ern men to help him, but the wonder u
that he gets such men as Burrows OF Mlchl-
gan and Brumm of Pennsylvania TO speak
for him. The DispdfctS exposure OF Bur
rows's record have effectually destroyed his
influence in Virginia.
