CLAMATIoN-NAMEs FOR MINOR
PLACES.
IBf r1rzeRAPH TO THE TnnUNr.I

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 21-Since General Mahones
arrival here this afternoon the opinion has gradu-
aly grown that he will have to accept the noml-
nation which is being forced on him from every
quarter. Each arriving delegation comes pre-
pared to vote for Mahone and all are clamorlng
for him. The General said tonight that If Colonei
William Lamb, of Norfolk, would accept the
nomination he wonld be handed it tomorrow.
Malone says he has not been offered it himself,
and il would be silly for him to decline something
never rendered him.
When asked as to the platform and in what
shape it would be presented to the convention,
the Generals answer was that the debt question
would be the principal plank. I'VE propose 10
submit plan for the speedy and satisfactory
settlement of the debt" he said, " without IN
creasing taxation; but we are not going to leu
the Democrats know just yet how we propose %
do this, as they have taken the credit before OF
our schemes to have this matter settled IN all
honorable way"
When asked about the compromise. the General
said that it had been accepted throughout INC
State by all but few who termed themselves
Antis,o but they never wanted a compromise
and would never abide by one.
"Groner the chairman of this Anti faction, has
been defeated in his own home" continued Ma
hone, but L am sorry for l should like TO have
seen some of his harmless followers in the con-
venton."
From a reliable source it is learned that General
Malone has about decided to accept the nomlna-
ton if it is rendered him by acclamation The
use of his name has gone so far that it is be-
heved that he will not now withdraw it.
