Republic.
The managers here are all united in the opinion that
the adoption Of the greenback theory by the

business OK nominating candidates did not come
up before ~the Convention until hve O'Clock
this afternoon. Wallace dropped Ross as
his candidate and took up Judge Cyrus L. Pershing.
There to be feeling in the Convention, how
ever that members Of the judiciary should not bring
their ermine in contact with the muck Of politics, and
although the fact that Wallace Pershing's back
developed some considerable strength for him, his
nomination Is not now considered likely. There have
been but three ballots taken and the Convention has
adjourned until hafpast eight O'Clock tonight

friends OF Waace's in the Convention who stood out
for Ross the last. This is looked upon as great
blow to the Philadelphia Ring.
