erations. L can show my thanks best by

Der of delegates in this convention and have

portance attaches to our action, as we have
for the first time judge of the supreme
court to appoint
The rest Of our nominees will be op-
posey by men set up by fragments OF diff
ferent organizations-by organizations, to
use the words of a gentleman lately come

REGULAR REPORT.

AT halfpast nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing caucus of the delegates convened in
the Grand opera house Russell Errett
called the meeting to order and said that
It's object was to harmonic all differences
that might exist and thus facilitate the
business of the convention.
Senator Strang and Hon. III. Jones
Brooke were nominated for chairman Mr..
Strang was elected on the first ballot, the
vote standing 106 to A.
The following committee was appointed
to report the order of business: Russell
Errett, W. B. Mann, o. j. Dickey, John

Jones Brooke, George Lear and A. G..
Henry
Mr.. Mann moved that as FIVE represen-
tatlves of the Pennsylvania republican as
sociation of Washington were in the city,
they be accorded the privilege of the floor
during the session of the convention and
be entitled to one vote.
Mr.. Dickey opposed the latter part of
the proposition on the ground that only
constituencies actually inhabiting the terri
tory of the state should be represented.
After further debate the motion was
withdrawn
The committee on business reported the
following as the result of their delibera-
tons:
/. Election of temporary chairman and
secretaries.

3. Order Of nominations
|. Judge Of the supreme court.
IL. Lieutenant governor.
III. Auditor general.
". Secretary of internal affairs
The report of the committee placing the
judge before the lieutenant governor in the
order Of nomination resulted in very bit
ter fight.
Mr.. Brooke stated that the report had
not been adopted without opposition.
Mr.. Lawrence moved that the report be
so changed as to provide for the nomina-
ton Of lieutenant governor first.
Mr.. Mann said the dignity and charac-
ter of the Judicial Office demanded that it
take precedence.
General Koontz held that upon the ques-
ton Of precedence the order to govern this
body should be that laid downin the ma
tional aud state constitutions, where the
Legislative branch, which made the law,
came first next the executive branch,
which carried the law into effect, and lastly
the Judiciary.
Mr.. Brooke stated that at the last repub-
ican state convention the state treasurer
was nominated before the supreme judge
After some discussion vote was taken
on the amendment and it was declared de-
feated on 4 call Of the yeas and nays.
Major Howell, Of Easton, and others de-
clared that the tally kept by him and sew
eral other delegates showed that the result
was just the contrary He said that the
friends Of Judge Butter had been deliberate
" counted out and denounced the action
\ perfect Babel ensued and to avoid an
interininablc wrangle the caucus was ad-
iourned, amid much confusion, with the
understanding that the convention should
adopt its own order Of business.
