A we'll known and influential repub-
lican leader in Virginia, here to-day,
who belongs to the Malone wing OF his
party, SAYS he really doesn't know
what policy the administration is pur-
suing in the Virginia campaign. The
national republican committee, he says,
has not vet definitely determined how
it will act He says that Secretary,
Foster, Attorney General Miller and
Mr.. Clarkson have all told him that
thew agreed with General Mahonc's
plan of making no fight for congress
men, but to try, by supporting the third
party candidates for Congress, TO get
votes for Harrison, and also to so di-
vide the democrats as to make possible
the election OF a legislature next fall
that will repeal the present election
laws of the State. He had supposed,
he saws, that these gentlemen reflect
ed the views of the President,
but the fact that Collector Bra
dv. Mr.. Gillian, the republican
nominee for Congress in the Peters
burg district, and Langston, the cX-
negro congressman s.'om that district,
came to this city yesterday. and thatall
the republican ofliccholders here from
that district, whites and negroes, were
summoned by special runners to meet
at Langstons house here last night. in
duces him to think that he has been
mistaken. as he is sure neither Brady
nor Langston would be supporting Gil
liam if convinced that the President OPP
posed his candidacy If the President
is favoring Gillian, he says, by so do
ing he is not only opposing the vast
majority Of the republicans 1.-THE State,
but has deceived them. Mr.. Harrison
may not, however, he says, be helping
Gillian. and that the conference here
last night may have been held for the
purpose Of deciding whether or not
Gillian should remain in the field, for
as he was nominated by Brady and
Langston, they can withdraw him if
they deem such coulse ad sable.
Bets are offered here to-day of six
hundred to thousand dollars that
Cleveland will carry Ohio. 1t is said
that as Secretary Elkins he's declared
his intention of carry ing West Virginia
for Harrison, Senators Blice and Cor
man and Mr.. John Mclean OF the Gin
cinnati Enquirer have declared theirs
to carry Ohio for Cleveland.
4 regular meeting of the Cabinet was
held to-day at which all the members
were present except Secretary Elkins
who is out ofthe city. The coming inter-
national monetary conference was one
of the questions considered, and partial
arrangements were made for official
participation in the Columbian celebra-
ton in New York next week. The
President will certainly attend if the
condition of Mrs. Harrison will justify
his leaving her side. Unless her condi-
ton improves, however, it is not likely
that he will deem it safe to leave her
even for a day., In that event he will
probable request the Vice-President to
represent him on the occasion. 1t is
settled, however, that the majority, if
not all, of the Cabinet officers will at
tend the celebration.
