.-.rbs the following to his paper tonight:
rbsrs i, no boss here who seems to care
,bopt running things. The result, so far,
,,s bsen that each delegate, as he came in,
h. hesn allowed to have his opinions. 1t
=, great many years since there has been
.,cb loose and uncertain situation on
,,s nigh, before Republican State con-
yndOn.
The subsidiary bosses are going around
,.,,ipg people, in a frolicsome way,

,,e firmly convinced that the people should

:. +, tbi, much more than play, and with
a, those who are running with the ma
mine there is a nervous anxiety TO put in
-. r,csnt place on the ticket the man who
I'm attract the most votes 10 the ticket.
They understand, fully, the dilemma in
kbi,h they are placed, and the position is
lo,bs,d as reward for personal service to
H. Machine. In fact, no one conspicuous
l. 5ssDrfed with the machine or with Sen
s,o, Cameron 5 particular political interests
i,,,.ssi Of hopefully. The delegates turn
pnAs,intingly away from such.
Tsf, Is not because the convention will
T., be- obedient to Cameron's wishes, but
/ n.,,,e il is now Cameron's wish that the
.,n;Dation shall go to some prominent
Vsppblican Who may be able to bring some
I!,,p,,h 10 Camerons imperiled ticket.
There are great many opinions. John
Cessna pretty well expressed the situation
v.sD he said, tonight, tina. there are four
-s-,;ss here: One is in favor of nominal
no A candidate for Congress tomorrow;
.-otber j. for a new convention to nomin~
s.e A candidate for Congress; another Is for
q new convention to make a new ticket
i,om the bottom up, and another is for
doing nothing but move for reconciliation
Oi.tAe party.
The first of these parties is by far the
largest. IL has not been accepted, to-day,
that Cameron desired that the convention
should adjourn without q nomination and
ls, new convention fill the ticket.
Chairman Cooper, who came from Wash
iagton. this morning, has rather strength
eaed the feeling in favor Of a nomination
now. BY expressing himself in favor Of it.
While disclaiming, in his red headed way,
that be has any knowledge OF Cameron 5
desires. he saws that this convention is not
soin. to be bOssed, and as the delegates
seem largely to favor a nomination at once
and an end of the business, that is what
>houIdNv done.
The DISCUSSION about a candidate IS
about Is general and as much variety as that
about what ought 10 be done. The fact
that the convention will undoubtedly
make the nomination tomorrow is under
stood to take Mr.. Wanamaker out Of the
list unless there has been a serious mistake
about what his position is. He has insisted
tha. il hs is expected to go on the ticket
the nomination would have to come at the
hand, of a new convention. He desired
that the masses of the party should have a
chance TO express themselves on the subject.
Under the changed conditions this is
not likely to be done and there
is no longer any serious discussion OF
Wsnamaker, and it is authoritatiyely
stated that a letter from him is held by one
Of the Philadelphia delegates, declining to
be considered a candidate.
Quay, and those Immediately about him,
have been talking Grow, when they have
,a.ked any thing, and they are probably
sincere. having an idea that Grow
would rally some Independent strength.
Grow, however, won't bite. He has sent
letter which, il necessary, will be read to
Tie convention, declining any honorS what
ever, and reannouncing that he is in the
wal business.
Nearly everybody, l find, has a candidate
Of his own, and as it is not often that dele
yates to one of Senator Cameron's Conyen-
tons are allowed to indulge in such lux
Cry, the most is being made it.
The Berks delegation brought over j..
Howard Jacobs, and he has been receiving
al day in the LOchiel Hotel room where
Beaver had his headquarters in May; but
lie does not grow encouragingly.
Blsler, of Carlisle, is smilingly suggesting
The merits of General Lemuel Todd, and
he name is well received on all sides.
General TOdd's abilities are well under
stood, and it is conceded that he would
greatly strengthen any ticket upon which
he might serve.
Some Of the Western Delegates are boom
nc eN'Judge Aguew. They present two
points in this, that he is an Independent,
and comes from the part of the States left
out by Marshars declinatisn. The Agnew
loom, however, is not heard above the gen
s'al din, and will be easily put down if
found necessary.
Ieneral HOontz, of Somerset, is also
'a.Sed Of, and good deal so; but he is an
CHER one who has declined to be considered
Is willing to go upon an endangered ticket.
thls embraces about all the Independent
ak but inside of all this, and by those
nearest the bosses, the sentiment is gather
,lS IN favor Of General Wm. Lilly, of Car.
"n' 10 the close observer OF machine
methods 1t is not difficult to see tonight
~a' Lilly IS the machine fayorite. The
''sa'eSt caution is being employed, how.
s,eF''o prevent any understanding of this.
Lily l. by all odds, the most acceptable

N some unaccOuntsble way, succeeded in
