Governor Beaver arrived in the city yes.
terday morning to attend the Scotch-Irish
Convention, and Immediately repaired tc
the Monongahela House, where he was as
signed to room IL. He passed the day
pleasantly, chatting with callers who
dropped in at all times to pay their re-
spects. The Governor met a number of the
Scotch-Irish representatives. who had never
seen him before, and from their remarks,
particularly those from the South and West,
the executive of the keystone State made
quite favorable impression.
In the forenoon, Governor Beaver made
the opening address at the convention, in
behalf of the State, and after dinner was
found by representative of The Dis
PATCH in his room reading the history of
the Johnstown food, published in this paper
yesterday. The Governor was asked for his
opinion in regard to the Gubernatorial out
look. He talked freely about the question,
but, with considerable Will, managed to
evsde anything like direct expression. To
the question of who would likely be his sue
cessor, Governor Beaver said:
NOT THINKING ABOUT IT.
"I have not given the matter any thought"
with a far-awsy look in his eyes, as his
gaze wandering across the Monongahela
river and rested on a speak-essy ''joboat')
81 have been So busy that could not form
an intelligent opinion. Major Montooth is
q strong candidate. Yes, my Adjutant
General seems to be doing considerable
n al.
likewise out hustling for delegates. Major
Montooth is we'll thought OF by the people
OF this end of the State, and will get the
Allegheny county delegation solid, no
doubt. OF course, he will have to have
great many outside delegates, but as to ex-
pressing an opinion as to how many he will
get, will have to decline. The primaries
will be the means OF telling the people about
how many votes each candidate may expect.
81 do not know anything about the
Original package business 1 am one of
those fellows who always believe in living
up to the doings of the courts. If the Su-
preme Court says the business is all right.
then 1 say go ahead with it. Mind you, 1
do not say that the people who have al
ready engaged in the business are not vio-
lating the law. All 1 know about the mat
ter is what have learned from the news
papers. have not had time to examine a
copy OF the decision, and until do could
hardly be expected to express an opinion on
the subject. What good would it do, any,
way? If the courts say it is all right, it's
the duty Of the people to adopt the decision
Is handed down, and say nothing about it.
AS HE LOOKS AT 1T.
1.-THE case of Mr.. Silverman, of Leech-
burg, to nv mind, seems to be violation of
the law. If the matter was reported cor
rectly, he was acting as an agent or retailer
of brewing firm in Ohio. The law saws
liquors can be shipped from one State into
another, and sold in the packages in which
they were shipped, but it does not give any
one the right to conduct a wholesale bust
ness in Ohio and a retail business in Penn
sylvania, without having a license for the
latter"
''What do you think of Henry HALLS
chances for the Speakership?" was asked.
''Mr. Hall is an excellent fellow, capable
man, and would, no doubt, make a good
presiding officer. However, there are sew
eral things in his way. He must first be
nominated, then elected, and the Legislature
must be in his favor to elect him Speaker
"Yes, we closed up two orphan schools
this week, one at White Hall and the other
at Mount Joy. II the youngest pupil now
in the schools sticks out bis time, the schools
will be abolished by Limitation in ten years.
There are over 1000 children now in the
schools, and about $50 will go out this year.
AT this rate there will be few left in five or
six years"
Governor Beaver will leave for Altoona
this morning to preside at a memorial meet
ing held by the old soldiers of that place
