THE PENNSYLVANIA CAMPAIGN.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
SATISFACTION OF THE REPUBLICANS WITH THE
TICKET-QUAY's DIsAPPoINrMENT-A LATE CAM
PAIGN.
IRON A STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNEl
HARRISBURG, July 12.-Any candid Democrat
vino has spent the last two days in Harrisburg and
who has talked with the delegates to the Republican
Convention, will be compelled to admit that they
are sincerely cOniden of electng tnelr ticket. In
deed, there is no question of success among them.
rhe Republicans have clear moiority OF the voters
III the State and all that needed to insure sue
cess is real harmonious action as was foreshad-
owed by yesterdays convention. The probability
of success is greatly Increased by the composition
of the ticket. This to satisfy all the condi-
tIous.
THE CANDIDATES WELL SELECTED.
One of the speakers, in proposing
candidate for State Treasurer yesterday,
SAID that both candidates to be chosen
should he men who had supported the regular
ticket last year and were acceptable to the lnde-
pendeut sentiment of the party. 1ndepen-
dents themselves would probably concede
that it reasonable to demand
that both candidates should be regulars OF
last year. in view of the fact that Beavers vote
was $4,000 while Stewards was less than
$4,000 Yet both Lvsey and Niles, who supported
Beaver, are acceptable to the Independents the
latter especially so. Livseys high personal charac-
ter and the fact that his nomination can be re-
garded directly Ia the line OF Clvll-Servlce pro-
motion, are both greatly IN his favor. Inc lnde-
pendens have special for being pleased with
the nomination of Niles, because the office OF
Auditor General is much more important than that
of Treasurer which recent legislation has reduced
almost 10 a clerical place. Niles's share IN the
movement to make Grow Senator makes him prac-
tlcay an Independent. In fact, he ls 50 much
SO that some of the Pennsylvania Journalists. In
talk today, have been saying that 1t was iortu-
nate thing that the other nomination, that for State
Treasurer, went to man Identified with the Stal-
warts, and not to man of any Independent
leanings. 1t said. for example, tnat
the nomination OF Hulings for state Treas
urer whom Quay, the Philadelphia boss" tried
to nominate when he found that Passmore was
beaten, would have been mistake. Huhngs had
been enough of an Independent either to make
Niles's nomination on the same ticket with him
impossible-which would have been a misfortune
as Niles is a strong man-or, by thus getting two
semi Indepen on the ticket, to make Stalwarts
throughout the State dissatisfied. On the other
hand, If Crimson had been put on the ticket with
I1ysev MANY Independents would probably have
STAYED at home election day feeling that men:of
their type had had no recognition. As IT Is, both
sides are contented and good -humored ana IL IS
believed that the Independents generally Will
support the ticket. 1t is true that Colonel Lew
Bird Duff, of Pttsburg the Independent candidate
for Governor last year. Is already quoted
rs saving that the action of the Convention cannot
command the confidence of the Independents. but
# is not believed that many will take this attitude
Certainly the tone of those present In and ABOUT
the invention was that its actions and conclu-
sions offered them no legitimate ground OF CRITICISM
CHARACTER OF THE CAMPAIGN
Niles will take the lead III the canvass, whllo
Livsey will probably go on calmv keeping DIS oooks
IN the Treasurers office. Politicians who went 10
the Treasurers rooms yesterday to talk Win nlm
about his candidacy found him with pen behind
his ear. travelling up and down big column OF
foures Niles is recognized the Republican leader
IN the present House, is good speaker. and mi

be a ouiet one, with little speaking. fronaDiy IL
