HARRISBURG. June 26.-Tho Repu blican State
Convention to-day nominated Senator George
W. Delamater Of Crawford county for Gov
ornor, and Boss Quay has again proven himself
to be greater than his party. II the sentiment
OF the largo part OF tho 5000 Republicans who
came here from all parts Of the State TO attend
the Convention expressed the wishes OF an
equal proportion OF the Republicans through
out the State, the defeat OF Gen. d. II. Hastings
will cause much dissatisfaction. After Mon
day night when the delegations and clubs
commenced to arrive. the popularity OF Gen.
Hastings became Overwhelmingly manifest,
and these evidences increased with the gath
orinR OF the crowd. Mr. Quay, however. and
the state organization opposed to all candi-
dates for Governor except Mr. DelRmater and
used plenty OF strategy to nominate him.
Mr.. Quay was not afraid OF u Hastings-Mon-
tooth combination because he knew that Major
Montooth could not control his delegates. and
instead OF coming here himself he sent his son
Dick as chief OF his stan OF lieutenants. They
ran things Co suit their own wishes. and to-
night there Is a great jollilication at the head
quarters Of young Mr.. Quay. State Chairman
Andrews, and candidate Delameter.
The Hon. William r. Leeds OF Philadelphia
is not satisfied with the nomination When
he was member of the LEGISLATURE he was
one OF Mr.. Quay's stanch supporters. but he
has since left the Quay fold, and came to the
Convention rs O Hastings delegate. This
morning he walked into the younger Quay's
room at the Lochiel Hotel and asked for an ex-
ira ticket to the hall OF the Convention. and Mr..
Quay refused him tho favor. Mr. Leeds was
determined that the Convention should not be
packed for De!amater, and the few OF Hast
ings's followers who were lucky enough to se-
cure tickets Of admission to the Opera House
got inside the doors early and sent their tickets
to friends on the outside.
j. Whom the Delamater ticket holders came into
the hall they found all the seats occupied. This
was damper upon State Chairman Andrews
and his clerks, who carefully handed out the
tickets to as few Hastings men as possible
What was lost by the expected lack Of en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Delamater, however was
made up by the Chairman OF the Convention.

ney OF Pittsburgh.
