PETERSBURG, VA, October N.-tSpc~
al.)-The presence OF General William
Malone at tho Republican meeting in this
city last night and his introduction of
the several speakers, rather indicates that
he has been thoroughly converted TO tho
propriety OF Republican nominations in
the several districts. and that he is now
rather led by the people than leading
them, rs was hitherto his won't 1t was
not very long ago that as the State chair
man and leader of the party he advised
against any congressional nominations.
His advice was disregarded. and now he
Is attending meetings Of his party snd
praising the merits OF the Republican
candidates. The meeting last night in the
interest Of Mr.. Thorp. the Republican
candidate for Congress, was attended al
most exclusively by negroes, there being
only a small sprinklIng OF whites in the
audience. An extra personal effort had
been made among the negroes 10 get them
out, and OF course they responded. They
are being organized as thoroughly as pos
sible.

IN CONFERENCE.
II IS said that General Malone and
Candidate Thorp were in conference until
a late hour last night presumably con-
sulting about political matters. This fact
Indicates that the General intends IA
throw all Of his influence in favor OF Mr.
Thorp.
1t Is known that the Republicans nrc
very much exercised as 20 tho effect OF

to teach the iliItcrate negroes how 10

schools OF education will prove remains
70 be seen. The experience Of the past
few years has been that tho negro vote

approaching the whites as his friends
