HARRISEURG, June 30
The Republican State Convention has
nominated General James A. Beaver for
Governor. William T. Davies. of Bradford
county, for Lieutenant Governor; \. VIII
son Norris, of Philadelphia, Tor Auditor
General; Thomas j. Stewart, of Montgom-
cry county. for Secretary Of Internal Af-
fair; Gen. r. : Osborne, Of Luzerne
county, for large.
This result WAS brought about by q
combination Of circumstances which were
known to exist. but which exerted more
powerful influence than the friends of
Major Montooth and Col. Grimeson and
theothcrs in the fell combination expect
pd last night.
Major Nontooth also had reason to eN-
pect votes from Erie, Beaver and Iancas-
Ter countie-, that did not materialize when
they were wanted. With all this to con-
tend against, the vote was 81 close that it
was not until the last county was heard
from that the nomination of Davies was
certain. After Nontooth had gone down,
the defeat Of Col. Grimeson for Auditor
General WIS not unexpected.
Osbornes chances were not improved
either bv the III luck Of Montooth and
Crimson. His success Is due ~ much to
the fortunate fact that there were five
candidates for the Congressional nomina-
ton. Hazard and kirkpatrick held the
balance Of power over their delegates ana
used it To good advantage for Osborne
when the time came.
Theconvention IL a whole vas remark
abb, for the earnestness and good feeling
manifested The only lively tilt occurred
in the morning, when Col. quay came to
the fore with a resolution declaring in
favor or the submission Of a prohibitory
amendment tothe people There was diff
ference OF opinion concerning the posi-
ton the party should take on the subject,
but the chief objection was 10 the man
ner in which the question had been
brought up. The debate was general and
the result was that Col. Quay was COM
PEELED to wait until the proper time.
When the matter came up in the COM
mirtee Of resolutions later in the day It
WI, again discussed and incorporated in
the platform.
The enthusiasm with which the con-
yention received General Beaver and the
other nominees au9urs much for the fu-
turr. Davies and Norri, frankly acknowl-
edge In their addresses TO the convention
that in Mantooth and Grimeson they had
met opponents worthy Of the steel of any
person. Mr.. Davies described Montooth :
canvas, A. without panllel in the history
of the state.
Tonight not a word Of dissatisfaction
is heard in any quarter. The friends Of
the gentlemen who were defeated have
accepted the result with good grace, sat
i-iicd that they were defeated in fair
contest. and that the ticket was ~ likely
to win az if il WAS in exact accordance
with their desires
Everybody rates George T. Oliver, ESD,
model presiding officer He covered
himself with glory by the manner IN
which he handled the convention during
the morning. ~ much cannot be said
FOR General Wagner, the permanent
chairman. His rulings were impartial
enough. but he was woefully lacking in
dignity and courtesy.
