FROM HARRISBURG.

The Day Before the Democratic State Com
ventiOn-The Capital Astir-ArrivRl of Dele
RatiOns-SpeculatiOns to the ResuIt-Philn-
delDhin Sends Her Wise Men.
FIRST SPECIAL DESPATCH.
HARRIsBURG, July 13.-The city is all astir
on account of the Democratic State Convention
which assemblies tomorrow. Delegates have
not yet arrived in great force, but number OF
partisans are already on hand.
The Arrival Of Delegations.
Two clubs from Pittsburg arrived at A. NJ,
numbering over three hundred members. Some
of them are grumbling fearfully because they
are TO be slowed away at night dozen in a
room. Shortly after noon the Cass and Packer
Clubs arrived from Philadelphia, nearly three
hundred strong. Two or three clubs from other
sections are expected during the afternoon, and
when they and the delegates are all here the
town viii be packed.
Two of the Candidates,
General Cass and General McCandless, have al
ready arrived, but Judge Packer has not.
PhiIadelphin's Quota.
Among prominent Philadelphia politicians
already here are Alderman McMullin, John
Tobin, Sam. Randall, Sam. Josephs, John P.
Ahern, Charles NJ. Hurley, Sam. Carson, G. w.
Carrigan and Fol. Degan.
Under n BusheI.
So far no light can be thrown on the result of
the convention, although Cass is claimed by his
friends to have the inside track at present.
The Sppreme Court Jndgeship.
The Guberfatorial question absorbs every
bodys time and attention, no one seeming to
know or care who will be pressed for the Su-
preme Court Judgeship. Nearly every county
will probably present the name of its local favor
ite for the position.
The Convention
meets at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and will
probably finish its labors in one day.
SECOND SPECIAL DESPATCH.
Who are the Candidates for Supreme Court
Judge.
HARRIsBURG, July 13.-If Packe should re-
ceive the nomination for Governor, the chances
of c. L. Pershing, OF Cambria county, are re-
garded as best for Supreme Court Judge. He
was prominent member of the House of Rep
resentatives for two years a few years ago, and
took high stand at that time.
Another prominent candidate, in the case of
Packers success, is Silas Clarke, of Indiana
county, who has received strong endorsements
from a number of Democratic judges now on
the bench. Judge William Elwell, of Bradford
county, and Judge R. Brown, of Warren county,
are also prominently named for the Judgeship.
THIRD SPECIAL DESPATCH.
The Cass Men Hopeful.
HARRISBURG, July 13.-The hopes of the Cass
men are very strong and they claim that theil
favorte will have at least 80 votes out of the 13G
on the first ballot.
The Second Nomination Hinges on the First.
1t is generally conceded that the nomination
for Supreme Court Judge will rest on the result
of the Gubernatorial contest. In case of Cass
being nominated, Hamilton Alricks, of Dauphir
county, is thought to have the best prospect. He
is prominent lawyer of Harrisburg, and well
known generally throughout the State, espe.
cially among the Democrats.
| FOURTH SPECIAL DESPATCH.
What the Packer Men Claim.
HARRIsBURG, July 13.-Although Cass will
probably stand highest on the first ballot, the
friends of Packer claim that when the scattering
votes are collected they will be concentrated on
him, and cause his vote to gradually increase
until he secures the nomination. The fact that
the Erie delegation, headed by Hon. William A.
Galbraith, are using their utmost endeavors to
secure Packers nomination, is regarded as very
! significant
| Cnss Hard at Work.
General Cass with his son-in-law, John n
Hutchinson, is hard at work manipulating the
delegates Judge Packer will not come to Har-
rsburg at all, but Judge Brodhead, of Carbon
county, represents him and extends hospitalities
| i'm his behalf at two hotels
| The Philadelphia Delegation
now stands fifteen for Packer, and the balance
| are divided between Cass and McCandless
| The Permanent Chairmnnsliip.
| A strong contest will be waged over the per-
manent Craftsmanship, but it is thought that eX.
| Senator Charles r. Buckalew, who is understood
to favor Packer, will secure the position.
