Mr.. Hensel took his place temporarily.
Eckley b. Coke, was elected chairman

Robert p. Allen was named organization,
Robert 5. Patterson, for member of
resolutions committee tho vote was

A lengthy discussion snsued over the dis
position to be made of communication
received from the members of the
New York delegation favoring Cleveland,
asking for an opportunity to present Mr..
Cleveland's candidacy. 1t was argued
that to decline to receive them
would DO disoourteous, and to ap.
point such meeting might create
the impression that Pennsylvania was
waiting for! proposals from other states
to the derogation Of It's own can
didates. Senator Wallace conspcuously
urged tue delegation to act with
caution, to be courteous but firm for
its own integrity, and he believed the
nomination was in its control. It was finally
agreed to acknowledge the invitation aud
to postpone the consideration of tho
matter until the next meeting Of the dele
cation. A discussion Of an hour ensued owe
the manner in which the delegation should
declare its support of Mr.. Randall. Final y
u resolution was offered, declaring that
the delegation present Mr.. Randall and
give him an earnest and Ger.
dial support, and that Mr.. Wallace
bs requested to present his name. Upon q
roll call there were seven noes on this
motion. Ross, Aucona, Smith, B. F.
Davis, Orr, Rafferty, and Noyes. 1t was
then explained that there had been a mis-
apprehension as to the scope Of the
resolution, aud that some delegates
thought it was of binding character. II
was then reconsidered aud passed, viva

q cation adjourned untilfour o'clock.
d Tho situation To-day.
C. There is no absolute change In tho situa
y tion here. New York by the vote Of King
county is for Cleveland by so to % Th,
opposition to him is still vigorous ant
@ effective, and though his nomination
!, is more likely than any other, it is no
N yet assured. The west is generally
D for Cleveland, as betweon Bayard
, and him, aud the South is for him. II
looks as if the pull would first be
between these two with no certainty OF
result, and everything after that is in
doubt. AS Cleveland becomes stronger
: the opposition to him inteusi6es, and IL
very bitter. His friends claim that it ID
exactly parallel with the opposition in st.
Louis in 1876, and will be equally effective
Tho bright hope for Randall is that Ney
, York being divided on Cleveland viii
Z transfer to him and Kelly follow suit
Ohio, Georgia and Missouri show signs o.
