GATHERING oF THE HOSTS.

OF THE HOSTS.
HARRISBURG, April 28.-The Democratic
State convention met in the State house. Ali
hope of compromise between the contending
Philadelphia or Wallace and Randall delega-
4ions being at an end, matters were very
lively all the morning in the hotels and COM
mittee rooms. Great difficulty was ex
perienced in gaining admission to the hall
of the convention. The Randall people ap-
pesred to have thorough control of all en-
frances to the hall, and many visitors re-
ceived their tickets of admission before those
of the delegates were issued. So strict were
the door keepers that it was almost impos-
sible for telegraph messengers to pass in
and out, and great difficulty was experienced
in reaching the telegraph Office.
When Speaker Randall entered he Was
greeted with most enthusiastic cheering
He appeared as a substitute. Senator Wal
lace was present as delegate.
COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
Some delay occurred in calling the con-
vention to order, during which several con-
ferences took place between leaders of the
two factions. At o'clock Speaker Randall,
with two of his friends. slipped into corner
where Wallace and his leaders were, and a
conference of a few minutes took place.
The result was an agreement to appoint a
committee to settle the points of difference.
1t was then understood that Monaghan, of
Westchester. would be temporary chairman,
vufS A II ha ohoin
man.
CALLED TO ORDER.
At 10 the chairman called the convention
to order. A list of secretaries and doorkeep-
ers was then read. Mr.. Cassidy by unari-
nous consent, announced he brought glad
people of this commonwealth. He said our
leaders have at the last moment settled upon
q plan that will adjust all differences In
Philadelphia and which will prove eminently
creditable to the entire Democratic party.
The regular Democratic party, of which he
was a 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 differences fairly. For
the purpose of effecting this he named the
following committee, to whom all contests
shall be referred without debate: Il. M.
Spear of Huntingdon, Mutehler of North
ampton, Dill of Union, Stenger of Frank
lin, jerks of Indiana and Gibson. The com.
mittee was named amid much applause.
X. M. Spear and Richard Yaux followed
in remarks in support of the proposed plan
GLAD TIDINGs TO THE COUNTRY.
Speaker Randall, in response to loud calls,
said: "This it the happiest political mo-
ment of my life, and gives to the people of
the United States assurance the Democratic
party means complete and thorough peace
and unendipg war to our opponents -
Wallace here thanked the convention
for their kind greetings. 1t
could Ecarcely be expected of him that in a
crisis of his party, he would fail in the
performance of his duty. He yielded to the
power, and he would always be found where
the Democratic party placed him whether in
the front rank or in the rear. He was for
peace, harmony and victory.
MAlcom Hay, Pittsburgh, followed in a
speech in which he congratulated the party
upon the glorious example set them by their
great leaders.
A. Il. Dill thought no one but defeated
Democratic candidate for State office could
appreciate the full significance of this COM
promise.
VIM. s. Singer said the nomination of
GEN. Grant meant perpetual rule of America.
ALI thst stood in the way of victory for the
Democrats were dissensions in their own
ranks. Nov when we are shoulder to shoul-
der, with the grand courage of our leaders
shining before us, we certainly can look for
victory. To-day's burial of these little re-
sentiments mean victory.
Mr.. Cassidy's motion was adopted by unan-
inous consent, and the convention took q
recess till 8 o'clock, when the committees ap-
pointed to settle all contests will report.
