ously cheered and reelected Chairman William
H. Andrews, of the State Committee II was the
largest convention that has ever assembled in
Harrisburg, and there came TO it representative
kcpubcans from all parts of the State.
IL cannot be dcricd that there was some bitter
ness manifest in tine selection of n candidate for
Governor and the fight between Senator Dclamater
and Adjutant-tencral HASTINGS was bitter In
to last night the two men were runn.~ very
even, when young Dick Quay the son Of the
chairman of the Republican National Committee,
appeared on the scene. and turned in for Della
mater. II had all along been said that Senator
Quay wO0ld not take hand in the fight. and it
is doubtful now whether he will agree TO all that
was done in his name, but the young mans
pride was touched by the attacks recently made
on his father, and he acted on the ground that
TO nominate Dclamatrr would vindicatc his father.
This turned the tables in favor Of Dcamater, and
with Hastings, deserted him and voted for Della
mater.

wire pulling before this could he DONE and after
the nomination an attempt was made to placate
the field by rendering tine Observation-Disclosures
