Pennsylvania Republican Conven-
ton.

From the Baltimore american of the fIth;
The Cameron clan had everything its own
way at Harrisburgyesterday and the result was
the selection of Stalwart ticket, headed by
Beaver as the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. The Wolfe division of the party was
completely left out in the cold and there can
now be no longer any doubt that the Indepen-
dent Repubicans-those opposed to the rule
and ruin policy of the Camerons and their
allies-will at their approaching convention
nominate full state ticket. The anti-Stal-
warts have pursued consistent and COM
mendable policy until they were inyeigled into
the Cameron conference last week, when
hopes were held out to them that Wolfe would
be given place on the state ticket. They
displayed weakness in listening to these Sc
ductiye promises, but, as was to be expected.
the Cameronians did not carry out the Wolfe
part of the bargain. The Independents are
now free to act, and they promise TO make it
warm for the younger Cameron.
The Philadelphia Ledger, Rep, says:
To sum up: the nominations for Governor,
General Beaver. and Justice of the Supreme
Court, Mr.. Rawle, are worthy of hearty APP
proval. Those of Senator Davies for Lieu
tenant Governor and Senator Greer for Sec
rotary of Internal Affairs are not, but should
get a heavy score Of disapprobation. OF the
nomination for ngressman-at- Large, Thorn
as NJ Marshall, nothing more can be said than
that it is an average party nomination-no
more, no less.
Most Of the Republican papers in Penusyl-
yania commend the nominations of the Re
publican convention. and predict for them
warm party support. United States Senator
Mitchell, however, is dissatisfied, though he
comedies that, taken as whole. 1T was a
mastery and adroit stalwart movement. In
a dispatch sent few hours before the nomi-
nations were made Senator Mitchell said-
The slated ticket renders the conference and
its platform meaningless. Il is the one-inan
power personi6ed, against which 5000 IN
dependents protested last fall, and which three
that number will throttle If they have the
chance AT the ballot-boN. The independent
convention cannot consistently ra;lfy this
work, independents have been prescribed
and Stalwarts rewarded In our state ever since
Garfield was laid in his grave. have made
every effort possible to harmonic the factions.
Nv election and allegiance as Senator are PR

viii not stand BY and see il strangled without
protest. Al such time the personal claims
of no candidate should stand IN the way Of
harmony or principles proclaimed. The only
way this can now be prevented 5 tn adjourn
