Pennsylvania Democrats-A COnlprO- mise Effected-Speeches by the Fac ton Leaders-,Ehe Credentials OOm- mittee Not Ready to RepOrt-An Adjournment Hill This Morning. HARRISBURG, April 28.-The Democratic State convention met at 10 o'clock. Great difficulty was experienced in gaining admis- sion to the hall, and large number of special doorkeepers were on hand. The Randall peo- pie appeared to have thorough control of all the entrances, and many visitors received tickets of admission before those of the dele gates were issued. So strict were the door keepers that 1t was impossible for the tele- graph messengers to pass in and out. When MT. Randall entered the hall he was greeted by enthusiastic cheering. He had not been elected 8 delegate but appeared as 8 substi- tute. Senator Wallace was present as dele gate. Some delay occurred in calling the con- vention to order, during which several confer ences took place between the leaders of the two factions. At l o'clock Speaker Randall, with two friends. stepped into corner where
 Senator Wallace and his leader were and conference of five minutes took place. The result was an agreement to appoint com- mittee to settle the points of difference.
 
 ton to order. Mir. Cassidy, by unanimous consent, announced that he brought glad tid- ines to the convention, and to the entire peo- pie of the Commonwealth. He said the lead CTS have at the hst moment settled upon plan that will adjust all differences in Penn sylvania, and which will prove eminently creditable to the entire Democratic party. The regular Democratic party, of which he was 8 member, while it stood by its position, was yet willing to take their opponents by the hand for the sake of peace, and they were going to settle their difference fairly and hon.
 orably. For the purpose of effecting this, he named the following committee, to whom all contests shall be referred without debate: R. M Speer Mitchler, Dill, Stenger, Jenks and Gibson Messrs. Speer and Richard Vaux followed in support of the proposed plan. Speaker Randall, in response to loud calls, arose and said: This is the happiest political moment of my life, and it gives to the people of the United States an assurance that the Democratic party mean complete and thor ough peace and intending war to our oppo- nents. Senator Wallace thanked the conven- tion for their kind greeting. It could scarce. ly be expected of him that in crisis of his party he would fail in the performance of his duty. He would always be found where the Democratic party placed him, whether in the front rank or in the rear. He was fer peace, harmony and victory.
