sr..r1NdroS, d. c., March %. The state
-, ,s made here that Malone and Lang
20 have buried tho hatchet, and that
,,rceforih. OF for somo time n least, the
-. factions in the Republican party Of
y...ioia will work harmonously together.
.ba view Of concentrating and sending
uo-r,s5n delegation to the next National
,,.rl,lican Convention. Your correspond
~. Ais afternoon had talk with pro-
80, virginia Republican who has gem
rr affiliated with the Malone wing,
80 ro was asked If the story was true.
MALONE MADE THE oyKBTUREs.
avc- ~ sald he. "and | am utterly sur
.-.'4 al Malone. But 1t only shows 20
,I.f Ic-rading depths he can go when no
t.s fo accomplish a political design.
Y.,lcrltand that on account Of the fight
81. uarty Harrison was holding back on
,'-.r,nare. and Malone, it's known, finally
,..5e oycrturcs 20 LangstoD, and truce
has lcen patched up.
NFvRR cOUNrENANcE HIN.
"rhis is % strange proceeding in view Of
nr Grf thu; IN the past two years Malone
icon violently abusing and cursing
.r--fan. and i have heard him say re-
,...l.. ..lv tbat never again would he coun-
,,o leucnd on IL that Malone thinks he
go chance 10 use Langston, else he
,-.rll never extend the Olivc-branch.
TRAINS WITH THE RicEEgo.
"V.bruc wants 10 strike at Collector
p-.lr.of Petersburg, who is out with both
I.rr.tan and Malone. who trains with
.-..-..- and The more respectable element
~ .ia white Republicans Of the State.
t.toue Inny even 90 so far as to make
i.r-.tau believe that he stands good
li.ae. % bc appointed United States cir
,rt uGee. but of course it il ridiculous
tofhuk of such thing.
rUrF TIE NEGRO Up.
"T..- deal will puff up Langston more
elan .ycr and ho will claim to be the only
i.3,roft the Virginia Republicans. Having
ir.,l' Malone over to his side he natu-
,.G, vl1 have the big head 1t is q dis
,r.lrs turn of affairs. and will do the Re
,yfErau party Of Virginia great harm by
trtmt of many more white men from its
r.rA-.
How IL Was Accomplished.
Nyashinrston Star Of Yesterdayl
TIN. consolidation of forces has been ac-
e.rpHshed during the past fortnight. 1t
, brought about. il is stated, mainly
.,crh tho advances of Malone and by
,.,gs1f the good offices of Judge Edmund
WalliI. lately representing the Richmond
.rrt ,,
couple of weeks ago Judge Waddill
dove up 10 Mr.. Langston's residence near
Howard University and for two hours the
,..f,Ians talked peace. Judge Waddill,
Nar reporter is informed made no
c.re.lmont Of the fact that he came from
General Malone with an olive-branch on
-p.r-on. and that there must be peace at
almost any terms. lie said that the Gene
tI Was willing 10 meet Langston half
way at least, ard that he wanted TO
t.t with his colorcd brother. Mr.. Lang
.t.a agreed without hesitation TO go TO see
ls .ld enemy. but he impressed Judge
Waddill with the fact that he should go IN
ranttltude of an injured man, bus who
va-t.-tr to make q dignified compromise.
With this understanding Judge Waddill
f..l I.s departure and went at once TO
tluiernn's, whore he reported the result
of the conference to his chief, who did not
object 80 the terms.
A MEETING AT CHANBERL1E's.
Iancston was given a tip as TO when the
General would see him, and at be appointed
tIn, they met in a parloT at Chamberlln's.
THIS was their first greeting since the
rte- Dental convention of 1888. and 1t
v4. iust tri1e formal at first. The Gen.
tral. as % Sidr reporter was Informed, was
very punctiious, however. in his recep-
taa of Iangston, who was dlgnitied
end cautious. For three hours they
travelled up and down the line of Virginia
uu.t.cs. discussed the records of the past,
made mutual explanations and promises
aai calculated "a to the next campaign,
rralIally warming up TO each other, until
at Lc end of the conference they had be-
come faster friends than ever and had tor
uua'ed some of the features OF the cam
paeu.
n vas a memorable interview, Lang
ston repeatedly made this assertion the
platform of his compromise:
d" shall Join you as a Republican. and
o. such shall do my best 10 promote the
interests of the party. l shall work Tor
you and for your success just as long as
,ou help me. But remember, this Is to
continue lust as long as You treat me as
Eepublcan.
Tho moment you oppose me in the
lalst' because my halr cuTls or because am
luck ] shall turn around and fight you TO
tur bitter end. shall fight any Republl-
can ou the color line, hut when that is OBJ
liberated can fight with him.
Malone replied that he appreciated the
situation and that hencefOrth there should
ue no partition Of the party on the line OF
yumplcNou. With this understanding the
,N-ouemies shook hands and swore tealty
o. their common cause.
ALL NOW IN VIRGINIA.
All three Of the parties to this compro-
mise are now down in Virginia putting the
first nails IN the new fence that is TO CORRAL
tIe Republican voters of the State. Judge
NaJdll left the city almost at once after
l, task of getting the leaders together
was ACCOMPLISHED. General Malone left
soon after the conference and MIR. Langston
took the tram this morning. The two lat
tyr are now at Petersburg.
lt ls probable that LangstOn will pro-
c,rl with the organization of his faction
81 once He intends TO bring his people
together on national politics first, organ
iHue them with his goal in mind, TO bring
the other factions upon the same plane.
10 is understood that this means the
tendiug If a Virginia delegation to the
next presidential convention instructed
iur Harrison. No one, however. cares 70
e. -O far GS 20 predict this without reserya-
uHl. ltisnot known whether the President
ial any hand in the efforts TO bring about
compromise between the factions,
tut % is asserted that he has quietly re-
moved several obstacles to this result
within the past two months, and has done
much 10 relieve the pressure III the State.
THE FACTIONS.
One fact must be taken into considera-
ton. Virginia Republicanismi is dlyidedlnto
three parts Malone, anti-Mahone, and
Lapestou That Is to say, Langston holds
only part of the anti Malone strength.
A large part of that faction is white and is
not involved in the late compromise.
Hence, the most direct result of the truce
v.l be- d practically solid negro vote under
the combined leadership of Malone and
Langstou.
SAID TO BR AFTER A JuD0EsHIP.
The New York World to-day says that the
movement 10 secure one of the new circuit
court Judgoships for IA colored man Is made
iu the interest of Laneston and that Lang
ftou in his candidacy relies for success IN
come measure upon the white Republicans
