peared in the person Of Brundage, of Lu-
xerne. He confessed that he had been
anticipated, but said that it was none the
less grateful to have Senator Coxe's nomi-
nation come from outside Luzerne. He
referred to his candidate as q "represen-
tative of the business men and friend of
the laboring man, not by word of mouth,
but by actual deed, and who, if elected,
will give to the people of Pennsylvania
honest government for the first time in
many years." George NJ. Cresswell, Of
Huntington, seconded the nomination.
1t was now that Senator Gordon tooS
the floor. As his boyish figure was seen
in the centre aisle, there was an outburst
Of applause exceeding any demonstration
of the kind previously made. 1t was some
moments before Gordon could proceed.
He was thoroughly self possessed and his
speech, which said neither too much nor
too little, and was constructed with
consummate skill, won the admiration
of all. Those who were not for Pattison
applauded Gordon's .eloquence. 1t is
doubtful if Pattison could have been put
before the convention more advantage
ously, and the effect was felt on
all sides. 'He came,'' he said, "from
Philadelphia, city which for the first
time in II years has Democratic mayor
and Democratic controller, to ask the
votes of the convention for a man whose
reputation was not based upon single
act, but upon five years of honest an d
efficient service as controller of the city of
Philadelphia, upon a saving of So, 600, 900
in the public indebtedness, upon the "a,
600 votes which he changed from the
Republican to the Democratic side in the
year Garfield was elected, and upon Il
stainless record as a progressive and hon
est Democrat, man who Was stronger by
IL, 600 Republican votes than any other
candidate who could be nominated. He
is not in the city of Harrisburg to-day.
He is sitting quietly at his desk in tho
controllers Office, watching tho treasure
house of the people,
"Leave him there, then," shouted ex-
Senator Hagus, who was still noisy.
The convention was-convulsed with
laughter, and then there were cries of
"Turn him OUT" directed against the
person who had made the remark.
When the cheering which followed Cor
don had subsided Ellis, of Scuylkill,
seconded the nomination of Pattison and
started the Pattison cheer afresh. Then
followed in order, without much delay or
demonstration, the nomination Of General
Davis, of Bucks, by ex. Senator Yerkes ;
Monaghan, of Chester. by Hemphill, OF
that county Hall, of Elk, by Nipple, Of
Clinton Wolverton, of Northumberland,
by Purdy, of that county, and Nelson, Of
Wayne, by Smith, Of the same county. The
nominations were here closed. The
speeches were all brief, as 4 rule limited
them. Yerkes and Malcolm Hay made
particularly neat efforts, and an allusion
to Tilden by Yerkes brought out a round
of applause. johnson, Of Union, in second
ing the nomination of Wolverton, called
Union county the mother of the smasher
of bossism" to the amusement of the con
vention. While Hay was ON his feet three
cheers were given for Hopkins.
Pattison Nominated.
At last the roll. call began. The list had
been made in alphabetical order, and the
first vote cast was for Coke, Allen. OF
Philadelphia, giving tho second to Patti.
son. There was at first disposition to
cheer the names of the candidates, but as
the call went on people became much
more interested in the drift Of the vote.
Two or three of the candidates for gcver-
nor kept tally, and nearly everyone was
acting as his own scorer. No incident of
moment occurred on this ballot. VauX
was cheered when he voted for Coke, and
the band played while the tellers were
getting their footings. The following
