HARRISBURG, April 1.-THE session of the
State Convention, which closed here last night at IL
o'clock, was disgrace to the Republican party and to
this Commonwealth. The name of "Ring and ROwdy
Convention" has been we'll bestowed upon this body for
Its shameless disregard Of pretense Of decent
usage An illustration OF the spirit prevailing and
methods used Will be found IN the appointment OF dele
gates TO the National ConventOna fragrant usurpation,
carried through with nsolent defiance Of order and
precedent Before organization effected
resolution ordering Committee to nominate the dele
gates passed amid much confusion, In spite OF the
earnest protests Of right minded members and without
being hall understood by considerable number This
Committee consisted Of but seven members and the
only slow OF consultation by these allowing them
to read the list Of names which Mr. Erret, the Chair
| man, took from his pocket and passed about among
| them before sending it up to the desk.
Gen. Hartranfts easy victory Is partly due TO the
Withdrawal Of Mr.. Jordan's and the transfer Of
his following. 1t is said that this by agreement
Mr. JOrlans consideration being an assurance OF the
nomination for Judge OF the Supreme Court. II Mr..
Jordan did lend himself to such bargain he deserves
to be cheated In it, he was, the bonch being given to
competitor to run against M- Justice Thompson, his
being indeed by far the best and strongest on the
ticket. Mr. Jordan, though Of high standing and
fair ability, Is by DO means competent for the position,
aud should not have sought it, much Tess traded for it,
An III consequence OF this traffic was, that JOrdans
friends, disappointed and embttered. turned In and
helped to nominate Harrison Allen for AudorGeneral-
piece OF spite ndulged in with deliberate intent to
damage the ticket Mr.. Allen being, according TO COM
report the worst selection for the place that could
| be made
On the whole the action OF the Convention has created
tho most lively dissatisfaction, which finds free cx
| preston on all Sides Many stanch Republicans, the
oldest and most trustworthy indeed do not hesitate to
say they cannot submit to the dctatcn Of tho Rine
which hardly cared to seek decent covering under the
| CLOAK OF the Convention. Your correspondent has no
authority to mention Names but has been assured by
not than ten Of those who have been prominent in
party for that the nominations made yesterday
will not have their support Mr. Billingelt, the Repnb
lcan leader Of the Senate, publicly declared to Hart
rart last night that he (Blllngfep was going home to
Lancaster to oppose the ticket as one unnt 10 receive
the votes Of his constituents.
Tho friends Of the Cincinnati movement held informal
con msutaon here yesterday and to-day As the result
oftheir deliberations call will be issued on Tuesday
fnext week The local press yesterday having stated
that Col Mcclure not going to Cncinnati, your
pondent waited upon that gentleman and asked II
be felt at liberty to state bis intentions. His emphatic
reply was "I shall go to Cincinnati, aud burn the
bridges behind me"
There has been talk to-day of inviting Col Nc
Cre to run as an independent candidate for Governor
but plan has countenance from him. He would not
under any circumstances he candidate for that office
and his opinion that II 1t seems desirable 10 nominate
another State ticket the time to do 50 will be after the
meeting at Cincinnati.
