STATE CONVENTION.

HARRIBBUHa, April Eb.-lne uemOcEutlO
State Convention turned out to be a love
feast, after all, and the Democracy Of the
state tonight are very much in Speaker
Randal1s humor, who declared on the floor
Of the Convention today that this was the
happiest political moment Of his life. The
delegates and visitors went to bed last night
under the impression that 1t vas to be war
to the knife to-day, and that the Convention
would not only be the biggest and hottest,
but the ugliest that Pennsylvania politics
had seen. The night was noisy on the streets
and rlotous In the hotels, and until daybreak
and all the forenoon there were feyerish and
uneasy rumors of attempts to steal the halls
of meeting, to pack the building, and to pre-
occupy all the seating room. Each delegate
and reasonable contestant was furnished with
reserved seats, and each had two visitors
tickets given him. Each member of the state
Committee had Ave. The doorkeepers and
subordinates were largely in the Randall in
terest, and by the time the galleries and floor
we're packed It was vory evident that he had
the call in the ConventIon. When the Speak
err strobe down the aisle to take a seat as
substituted delegate he was greeted with
round ait6r round of terrific yells, and so was
Ricfard Yaux. A glance ever the Conven-
tlon showed it to be largely composed OF pick
ed me, embracing nearly all the Pennsylvania
leaders.
