PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-William II.
Andrews, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, to-day issued the follow
ing call for a meeting of the members of the
Republican State Committee: "a meeting
OF the members of the Republican State
Committee will be held in parlor c, Con-
tinental Hotel, Philadelphia, at o'clock

Chairman Andrews to-day said, in speak
ing of the meeting of the State Committee
''The rules of the Republican party provide
that at least 60 days notice of the meeting
of the State Convention shall be given by the
State Committee. In order that there may
be lots of opportunity to give notice in COM
pliance with the rules, 1 have caused notices
to be sent out for the meeting on Wednes-
day next"
WILL MEET IN JUNE.
The general impression among the leaders
OF the local Republican organization is that
the State Committee at its meeting will call
the State Convention to meet during the
last week OF June. The reason gwen is that
the date mentioned will best suit the delegates
from the interior counties of the State.
A special meeting of the Tenth Ward Repub-
lican Executive Committee was held tonight
for the purpose of acting upon resolutions in
dorsing General Hastings candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Governor. Joseph
z. Patterson presided and John G. Aollick
acted as Secretary. After the meeting had
been called to order and its purpose stated,
State Senator John c. Grady presented the
following resolutions which were unanimously
adopted on motion of Frank Bruner, President
of the Leeds Republican CLUB, and seconded
by Colonel VIM. b. Mann.
"It is OF paramount Importance to the Re-
publican party that the candidate selected for
Governor shall possess the confidence of the
people and the ability to advance the
varied interests of the Commonwealth, and
that the learning, exemplary character
and public services of General Daniel H.
Hastings commend him to our choice, and that
we hereby tender him our cordial support"
LOVE HASTINGS MORE
Colonel Mann, in seconding the resolutions,
among other things said: I'm passing these
resolutions the members of this ward commit
tee are not actuated by any spirit of hostility
to any of the other gentlemen named as candI-
dates for the nomination. 1t is not because
they love the other candidates less but because
they love General Hastings more that they
have decided TO stand by him during this con-
test"
When the resolutions had been passed, on
motion of ex-Sheriff Leeds. Senator Grady
Colonel Mann and William H. Garrett were ap-
pointed as a committee TO notify General
Hastings of the action of the committee and to
invite him to address the meeting. In few
minutes General b astings put in an appear
ance and was warmly received.

action tonight" began General Hastings, land

The Sixth ward Republican committee which
is part of the same district as the Tenth ward,
passed similar resolutions in favor of General
Hastings as did the Leeds Republican club of
the Tenth ward. The First and Fifteenth ward
