PENNSYLVANIA.
Harrisburg, 2S.-The democratic stat
convention met to-day. All hopes OF
compromise are at an end. Matters wer
| lively. Randall people seemed to contro
| the entrances TO the ha !, and admission
/ to members and telegraph boys wa
difficult. Speaker Randall, present as
substitute, was loudly cheeIed. Senator
| Wa lace was 2 delegate.
There was much delay and many con
fe-ences between Wallace and Randa Al
factions, before the convention was called
to order Finally q committee was ap
pointed to settle the differences and a
lilo Chairman Miller called the con-
vention to order. Cassidy then an
nounced that matters were ha:monIously
arranged and the regular democratic
party, while standing by It's position,
would YET take their opponents by the
hand for the sake of peace. He then
named a committee to whom all contests
were referred. This report ELECTED much
applause, and several hearty speeches in
its favor. Wallace especially said he would
yield all for the sake of unit d action
and victory. VIM. hi. Singer said that
the nomination of Grant meant the per-
petual rule of the duke of America. and
discussions alone would prevent demo-
cratic triumph.
Recess till 3 o'clock.

CONNECTICUT.
Hartford, 2S.-The democratic state
convention elected Thomas NJ. Walter,
President. He denounced
Hayes elevation to the presidency as
'rsud. The democracy at Cincinnati
hould not nominate man who could
lot carry his own state. The following
IRE delegates at large to the Cincinnati
Alfred Fred Burr, Hart
ordy w. L. Parsons, New Haven; D.
s.. Wells, Norwich; w. w. Brown,
District delegates were chosen
md the twC-third rule was adopted.
Resolutions were adopted announcing
he election Of President Hayes as
raud; calling for the nomination of a
candidate at Cincinnati devoted to the
and honest government, who
will unite the party; and prescribing the
init rule for the government of action in
he Connecticut delegation. The con
7ention had been harmonious to this
point, when Blake, of Bridgeport,
presented a resolution as an amendment
which was aimed at the candidacy of
Samuel J. Tildcn and declared the party
should not nominate a man, whatever
may be mis- private grievances, or how
ever eminent, who cannot command and
receive the support of the entire demo-
cratic party, and bring 1t to success. He
the amendment in a vigorous
speech, naming HIlden and Stating
tbst his nomination would jeopsrdizs its
success. This crested great confusion in
the convention. Finally, E. S: Cleve
land, of Hartford, who had previously
been invited to the platform, got the
floor, and denounced the resolution as q
frebrand, and read a long, written
eulogy on Tilden. During his speech
Walter, president of the convention
called Vice-President HOLSTER to the
chair, snd at the close of Cleveland's
speech got the floor, and opposed adopt
ing any resolutions or declarations for or
against Ti,den. In the course of his
speech he said he did not known how
many of the delegates chosen were for
Tilden, when a voice responded, Ten of
the twelve" Walter counseled har-
mony and leaving the whole question to
the delegates, whom, he said, should
they vote for Tildeu, would never attend
another convention from Connecticut.
A voice-"A frebrand." He finally
moved the indefinite postponement of all
resolutions and the adoption of one pledg-
ing support 10 the Cincinnati nominee. He
then quickly regained the platform, put
the question himself and carried the mo-
ton By reclamation unanimously. 1t
was quite brilliant performance and got
the convention out of a troublesome stu
alton. The defeat of the regular resolu-
tions lesves the delegates TO vote accord
ing to indiyidusl choice.
In the First District there was a COZ
test over tina delsgste-st-laTge, which was
carried into the convention, but resulted
in the choice Of Fred. Z. Burr, over eX-
Governor Richard O. Hubbard. Burr Is
editor of the Times, of this city, and Par
sons. another delegate-at-large, editor OF
the ReqiSteT, OF New Haven. The latter
supports Ex-Governor English, of this
state, for the presidency. A majority OF
the delegates chosen. it is understood
will 60 with Barnum in support of Til
den or mis- canddste 1t is probable
Waller will go to the convention IS {
substitute, and he is anti-Tilden.
