beaten by the whole batch of small fry OF candidates
uniting against him. Senator Wallace is under
stood to have reluctantly decided upon dropping
Judge Ross, because he finds it impossible to COM
bine sufficient strength upon him to nominate him.
Wallace's influence among the delegates is not
nearly as great as it was at the Pittsburgh COnven
ton, year ago, account Of the prevalent belief
that he is on too friendly terms with railroad col
porations and with the Republican Treasury Ring

rapidly slipping out of his control Wallace held an
interview with Congressman Randall this morning
and the feud between them was healed SO far as 10
enable them to work together to secure, If possible
anti-inhation plank in the platform.
After Bger, the strongest candidate is Col. Amos
C. Noyes of Clinton County, who has the enthusiastic
support of the delegates from all the Susquehanna
lumber counties. He is mild intlatiOnist and will
on this account NC likely to get the Western VOTE If
it is cast for any other than its candidate. The
Western candidate is Col. James p. Barr OF The
TuisbUgh Post whose paper has lately embraced the
greenback heresy. The Allegheny delegates are in
structed to vote for him, and he will have as many
more from other counties. His nomination IS, how
ever, scarcely within the range Of possibility tx
Mayor Daniel NJ. Fox of Philadelphia will get the
vote Of the powerful delegation from that city al
first but he will not bc able to keep them from scat
tering TO other candidates after one or two ballots.
Judge Lowery of Crawford has four delegates; X
f. Monaghan of Chester, six; H. NJ. North Of Lam
caster, seven Judge Turnkey of Mercer three !;
Judge Pershing of Schuylkill, eight; and Judge
Ross of Bucks, ten. In all there are G3 delegates

A COMPROMISE on THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
LATER-A number of the most prominent party
leaders are now fixing up the financial portion OF
the platform, so to have it ready for the Commit
tee on Resolutions tomorrow. They have agreed
upon compromise currency plank, which, Willie IL
is not as bad as the Ohio platform, has no more
genuine ring of hard money III it than there Is IN
lead shilling. 1t declares against both expansion
and contraction favoIs the substitution Of green
backs for National bank notes. and says that the
time of resumption must be settled by the bnSiI'css
interests of the country, instead OF by arbitrary
legislation. The only point the hard-inoney men
gain in this so-callcd compromise is phrase in op-
position to increasing the volume of the currency.
The Democratic Congressman from this State have
had consultation, and are unanimous III support
ing the Hon. Samuel j. Randall for the Spcakership
of the House Of Representatives.
