PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 22-The Demo
cratic state convention will meet here to-
morrow. Congressman Scott appears to
have decided majority with him and the
friends of President Cleveland will have
no difficulty in directing the proceedings
of the body and in naming all of the dele
gates at large g. The only opposition to the
program as arranged by Mr. Scott and his
friends today comes from the friends of ex-
Congressman Speer of Huntington county,
who, with followers of Randall, have been
making an effort to break the slate and
defeat ex-Congressman Charles E. Boyle,
of Fayette, but this movement has proved
a failure and the four delegates at large
will be Congressman Scott, of Erie; Hon.
Lewis G. Cassidy, of Philadelphia; Con-
gresham Mutchler and Mr.. Boyle, ex-
chairman of the state committee. w. V.
Hansell, of Lancaster, will be the temper
airy chairman and ex-senator VIM. A.
Wallace the permanent chairman. No at
tention is being paid to the judicial nom-
ination, and it will go hap-haZard to any
one of half dozen candidates.
