The Pennsylvania Democratic State
Convention met at Erie on the 9Th in
slant, and was called to o. der by John
Miller, Chairman of the State Central
Committee. James Ellis of Schuykill,
and John D. Styles of Lehigh county,
were nominated for temporary Chair
man. Ellis was chosen. The roll was
called, Committees on Contested Seats.
Platform and Permanent Organization
were chosen, and the Convention ad-
journed till 4P. NJ. No political sig
nifcance is attached 10 the selection OF
Ellis. 1t is merely pill to soothe him
for his defeat at Pittsburg last year by
Wallace.
The Convention reassembled at four
o'clock. The Committee on Permanent
Organization reported Hendricks B.
Wright for Chairman, who was unani-
mously elected. He was applaudea
when he said the Democrats favored
hard money, but much more when he
ayerred they we're not in favor of speedy
resumption. The Committee on Plat
form asked for more time, and ad.
Journed until 8 O'Clock. 1t is generally
understood that the Committee were
unable to agree on a currency plank.
