When a positively charged rod is brought near a neutral rod, the positive charge of the rod induces a separation of charges within the neutral rod. Electrons in the neutral rod are attracted towards the positive rod, causing the side of the neutral rod closest to the positive rod to become negatively charged, while the far side becomes positively charged. This creates an electrostatic attraction between the positive rod and the neutral rod, causing the neutral rod to be drawn towards the positively charged rod.
