The Times VIII Say Tomorrow:
THE nomination of Marriott Brosius, of
Lancaster, for Congressman large, was
simply the consummation of policy that
was conceived to make Mr.. Wanamaker re-
ceive the death blow aimed at Cameron
and the Boss system. Mr.. Brosius
is most exemplary and worthy citi-
zen, and he possesses abilities quite
above mediocity. He was one of the young
est and most gallant of the many soldiers
OF the old Guard, and he has been lawyer
rather than politician since the war. He
Is OF the class Of men who believe ina purer
and nobler Republicanism than is pre-
sented to-day, but like thousands of others,
he is never sufficiently courageous to de-
mand immediate reform. He is of the amia-
bic, excellent sort, that is earnestly for
reform next year, and would be glad to
have it this year, If ii could be had without
disturbing the bosses.
With all his ability and worth as sol.
der and citizen, he has never been thought
OF for party honors until the evil day came,
when the better men in the rear had to be
called to the front TO receive the terrible fire
against the machine.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 21.-One hundred
and eighty delegates have arrived. A eau
Gus to determine action was held this
morning.
The Republican caucus was called to
order in the State library room, at noon, by
Alexander P. Brown, of Philadelphia, and
Judge Fetterman, Of Allegheny county,
was made president. Judge Jessup offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the State Executive Com
mittee, when organized, be requested to
issue call for new convention under the
new rules, to complete the State ticket,
with full power to take such action on the
ticket already nominated as shall be for the
best interest Of the Republican party Of the
State.
He believed that unless something was
done towards patching up the grievances
of the Independents, the Democrats would
carry the State, both on the legislative as
we'll as the State ticket. He said the charge
that the nominations of this Convention
were dictated by one man would have to
be met. He denied it was so, but yet the
Independents made the charge, and it was
believed in many places. He was in faqor
of a new Convention, out and out. 1t was
no sign of weakness on the part OF this
Convention to endeayor to heal the
breaches in the party.
Mr unav of philadalnhia SnnEa in
similar strain.
Mr.. Carnahan, of Allegheny, opposed the
attempt to placate the Independents.
Congressman Fisher favored competing
the present ticket, which he believed
would sweep the State and harmonize the
Republican party so as to secure the elec-
tion in November.
Another discussion followed, and Judge
Jesus offered substitute for his previous
amendment, requesting the State commit
tee to take immediate action toward har-
monizing the troubles in the party, and
that, if necessary, the committee be en-
powered to call new convention to place
a new ticket in the field.
The substitute was finally withdrawn by
Judge Jessup, on the expression of opinion
by the chair and many delegates that new
amendment requesting the state Commit
tee to adopt all honorable means, etc, COW
cred the same ground. The latter amend.
ment then carried with only a few dissent
ing votes.
A resolution empowering the State com.
mittee to fill any vacancy occurring on
ticket was also adopted.
The delegates then adjourned to meet
Immediately in the Opera House.
The convention was called TO order and
Col. David Taggert elected president.
On the first ballot, Marriott BroSius, OF
Lancaster, was nominated for Congress.
