HARR1sDURG, Juno 23.-Within two days
OF the State Convention there seems to be ms
much doubt about who will be the Republican
nominee for Governor as there has been at any
time during tho last month. While Senator
Delamater and his friends are confident of
success, Gen. Hastings and his followers are
not less so. Major L. A. Noontooth. Allegheny
county's candidate. arrived late tonight.
While four men out Of overy i've YOU meet eX-
press the belief that Delamater will be
tho nominee. yet they generally qualify tho as

date from Allegheny who will take the Lieu
