HARRISBURG, June 29.-The nomination
of Robert +. Pattison, OF Philadelphia, on
the sixth ballot last night was surprise to
nearly everybody in and about the conven-
ton, except a few OF the sanguine Phila-
delphians, like Senators Gordon and Ken
nedy. Contrary 10 general expectation the
name of Eckley Il. Coke aroused no parti-
cular enthusiasm in any quarter, and at
the highest he reached 44}I votes out OF a
convention of 25l delegates. The Hopkins

lie was pulled out Of the last car by Arthur

spread just as the train ran upon the bridge
and the train ran for fully -. feet
before the cars went over into the water.
The seats were thrown in all directions and
window glass flew into thousands Of pieces.
The thee rear cars had their trucks-torn of
by the string beam Of the bridge. There are
said to be number Of passengers missing.
but none OF their names are repOxted.

Expected 70 winAn Along.

and. as it turned out, the Allegheny candi-
date ran the Philadelphian an almost neck
and neck race being beaten by only seven
votes on the decisive ballot. Both Hopkins
and Pattison had their forces better in
hand than was supposed, and Randall says
it would have been out OF the question for
any third man to have broken their col.
umns. The fight
Narrowed Down to One Of Section
in which Hopkins got the votes of such
men as Yerkes in Bucks and Hensel in
Lancaster and the York delegation, and
Pattison got Lawrence, Mercer and some
other votes in the west. The most OF these
exceptions were for trading in the interest
of local candidates as for instance, Black,
of York, for Lieutenant Governor, had
formed an alliance offensive and defensive
with Hopkins, and McDermott, of Mercer,
for Judge. said his only hope was in send
ing the Governorship to Philadelphia.
The nominee for Governor, Pat
tison, is very young man, only
thirty.two years of age, and has twice been
elected Controller of the Republican city OF
Philadelphia. He represents the reform
clement, and is regarded Bs a strong candi-
date. Randall says he will beat Beaver,
even in Philadelphia, and Curtin says he
will be elected. The Stalwart Republicans
all wanted Hopkins, and some OF them are
cast down because he was nominated.
