Malone for the Cabinet.

VIRGINIA CoLoRED REPUBLICANS WHO FAVOR HIS
APPOINTMENT But WILL NOT PUBLICLY COMMIT
THEMSELVES.
''Will Gen. Harrison put Malone in the cabi-
net?' was the question discussed yesterday by
number of the more prominent colored re-
publcans of Virginia, who were assembled in
convention at Carson's hotel The matter of
representation in the cabinet in which south
ern republicans are SO much interested, had
brought together for conference such men as
c: w. Harris, of Manchester, Fielding Green,
OF Loudoun; Rev. ]. A. F. Taylor. of Richmond;
r. G. l.. Paige, of Norfolk J. c. Asbury, of
Norfolk; A. w. Harris. of Dinwiddie: Robert
Scott of Charlottesville; Ennis Dickerson, of
Henrico, H. P. Bland. of Farmville; J. W.
Cochrane. ex-chairman of the republican state
central committee, and p c.. Corrigan. Rep
resentatives of the Virginia republicans res
ldent in the District were also present.
1t was finally decided that it would be
unwise to publicly indorse Gen. Malone
for cabinet position at the present
| time. Individual effort will. however, be made
to impress upon Gen. Harrison's mind the fact
that Malone has the support of nine -tenths of
the republicans of Virginia.
All those present were sanguine as to Ma
homes chances, and there was a very solid ex-
preston of opinion as to the disastrous conse-
quences which might be looked for if Malone
was not recognized.
Said Perry Carson to a STAR reporter this
morning: IF Malone is not in Harrison's cab
met that will be the end of republican organi-
cation in Virginia. Nine-tenths Of the colored
people in the country indorse Malone, and
they will be disappointed beyond expression if
he is not selected one of the official advisers
of the next administration
AT A MEETING of the directors of the National
Safe Deposit company of this city, resolutions
were adopted thanking Robert L. Fleming for
his active and intelligent services in the con-
struction of its new building at the corner of
New York avenue and 18th street. and for his
methodical and satisfactory report as disburs-
ing agent OF the company in respect to said
construction.
New YORK COMPLIMENTS WASHINGTON, WASH
ington has become famous for its dinners but
New York has always claimed to have the most
experienced caterers. That the palm of super
iOrity belongs to this city, however, is proved
by the fact that one of the most distinguished
citizens of the great metropolis has sent for
Mr.. GeorgeW Harvey, the famous restaurauter,
at the corner of 18th and Pennsylvania avenue,
to furnish large dinner to be given at his
residence in that city tomorrow night. This
gentleman, who is himself a bon riuQnt. and
knows what will best tickle the palate, says in
his letter to Mr.. Harvey: 81 wish, if possible,
to confine the menu to those dishes for which
your restaurants famous, adding, 81 would be
glad. indeed if you would come on yourself,
as my guests are all epicures, to whom have
boosted that it is impossible to equal your
cooking"
MIR. Harvey and his chef. with all requisite
facilities, left for New York to-day, and II may
safely be predicted that more delicious oysters,
terrapin, and canvas back ducks will be seen in
Gotham tomorrow night than have ever been
placed before even the most fastidious of her
citizens.
