The Vice Presidency.
THE PENNSYLVANIA MOVEMENT ALREADY ABANDON

THE PENNSYLVANIA MOVEMENT ALREADY ABANDON
ED.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser telegraphs as follows:
''Some time ago movement was inaugurated
to nominate man from Pennsylvania on the
ticket with General Grant for the Vice Presiden-
cy. This nomination was to be compromise
among all the candidates whereby the differences
existing between the several factions of the re-
publican party were to be conciliated and
brought together. 1t was argued that this
would assist materially in carrying the Keystone
State for General Grant. When the matter was
broached to Cameron and other leading Penn
sylvanians they regarded it favorably and named
Senator Scott as the man of their choice for the
place.
"Col. Forney Hssaid to have demurred to Scott
on the ground that he had no material strength
and that the nomination would not unite the party
in Pennsylvania. He urged that Governor Cur.
tin be taken, first because he represents the
main faction Of the Republican party in Penn
sylvania and second because he has great
strength with the people Of that State Cameron
opposed Curtin and said he could not support
him. Forney declared he would not support
Scott whereupon the whole project was aban-
doned.
Cameron now says he will support Forney il
the latter agrees to have nothing to do with the
Curtin faction. Forney says he does not want
the place, especially if there are conditions at
tached to his acceptance of it. The Philadelphia
Convention is not instructed on the Vice Presi-
dency and an effort will be made to divide il be-
tween Wilson and Colfax. 1t is understand how
ever that no candidate will be presented from
pennaylyania."
