cations and prepare report.
THE EVENING SESSION.
At this evening all the delegates were in their
places. They waited half an hour In quiet and
well-behaved manner, as though they had
come to hear sermon. The dramatic
scene of the day was fresh In every
ones mind and assumed more important pro-
portions the more it was considered. Conversations
in undertono about tho remarkable recOnCiha-
tion and its effects on the politics Of the
State occupied the time until Chairman Mil
lcr called the assembly to order and asked
if the committee were ready to report.
Mr. Ermentrout of Berks, moved the appointment
of a committee of threo to go to the Peace confer
enCe and ascertain what progress was helng llAdc.
Afterward he said delegate had just come from
the meeting and was authorized to say that
the report would be ready at halt-past " tomoIroW
morning He, therefore, moved an adjournment TIL
that hour, but withdrew the motion 50 that more
official information could he got. The committee to
get his information, composed Of Messrs. ErmeutrOut
Marshall and Hutchinson, had hardly retired before
the Convention dropped IFS solemn and respectable
behavior and began to clanor for one man and an
other to make a speech. bury delegate from
Fulton County, who said he was no speaker tried
to practise his unried OratOrcal powers, but was
soon suppressed by hootings and laughter IN the
gallery. -
This treatment served to discourage other ambi-
tious delegates, but finally Editor Heusel, of Tho
Lancaster IntelligeRcer came to the platform in re-
sponse to repeated calls. He had good voice and
made sensible well sOnOrOus speech
in favor Of harmony and good fellowship in the De-
mocracy which was vociferously appauded He
said in conclusion that if the programme of the Re-
publican managers should bo carried out by the
nomination of Grant, the Democrats could and
would carry Pennsylvania for whatever candidate
they may select at Cincinnati.
Mr.. ErmentrOut reported that the committee OF
six replied to the inquiry of the Convention that
they Gt it thG GGy b65 to GfaT al GSnes M
the the DIST districts i" in PhadcIphia except one,
and that they would complete their work
so as to report at 10 o'clock Tomorrow; An adj
journment carried however, until . o'clock to-
morrow, in hope that the committee would be able
to get through an hour earlier.
found by the Peace conference to the full hamoni-
be to give each faction in Philadelphia five dele
gates to Cincinnati, and to submit the question of
the choice of delcgatcs-atnTgc and elecOrs-atargc
to vote Of the Convention. In this belief two
tickets have been prepared tonight In readiness for
such q vote. The 1Ilden ticket is as follows:
De'rgatesat Large-F B. Gown, W. s. stcnger George
A. JenGs, W. !. scott; =,
The anti-Tilden and Hancock ticket is the follow
ing:
Delegatcs-at Large-Lewis c. Cassidy, William Mutch-
lcr. r. Milton SpccT, Benjamin. Whitcmau.
Playford.
The district delegates have for the most part al
ready been chosen IN district caucuses. As nearly
as can be ascertamcd the TIdcn men will have be-
sides the five delegates conceded them from Phila-
delphia III the compromise the following delegates
from tho country districts: Lancaster 2, Berss Q,
Bradford 2, York l. Alcghcny 4, Beaver
2, Erie 2. All the other districts are claimed
by tue Wallace men as being anti llldcu. If this
statement be correct, the district delegates will
stand: Tilden, 20 anti-Tilden 81. All the anti
Tilden men except two are counted for Hancock.
THE FIGHT FOR Observation-Disclosures.
Each faction claims the power TO carry its ticket
for delegates at-large in the Convention. SO closely
balanced the factions there that personal pref
erences may give majority TO a portion Of each
ticket. The unit rule will bo submitted
to the Convention; its fate cannot bo pre-
dicted tonight. resolution declaring
that Pennsylvania presents the name of General
Winfield Scott Hancock to the National Convention
as her choice for President has been prepared and
| will probably be presented by the Committee on
| Resolutions for q separate vote.
1t will be seen that the Convention is wholly In
| the hands of six mon appointed to reconcile it's
| differences; they hold absolute power since their
| report is TO be final. Tho situation is unique and
| probably never had parallel in n representative
pOlitcal assembly. As to the factOnal quarrel which
this body of plcnpotcntlarieS is engaged in healing

Wallace men can put upon tho upshOt of
the quarrel, they cannot prevent it from having the
