appear to the observer a monument on which
is written: Every ballot equal and every
ballot counted in the South and in the
North" And another: THE victo-
ries of protection oVer the allied tariff reformers
and free traders" On another: The triumph
OF the right of every State to enforce within
her borders such police regulations as she may
deem necessary for the welfare of her citizens,
whether in restraint of sales of oleomargarine
or original packages" And on another: Com

the importation of pauper labor"
Resolutions were offered by Shields, Of
Philadelphia, in relation to rules; by John
Elkins, oil Indiana, in relation to resolu-
tions, and by Williams, of Allegheny, lay
ing out the order of business. Dave Lane,
OF Philadelphia, moved for a committee of
seven on contested seats. Humes, of Center
county, Immediately renewed his objection,
when it was cut off by the chair, who said
that when the report came from the commit
zee it could be discussed.
Hastings Not Given n show.
On this committee but one Hastings man
was appointed-George Orlady, of Hunt
ingdon. Then a recess was taken for COM
mittee work. The Committee on Contested
Seats is understood to have had a lively ses-
sion, and it was not until 12:45 that the
convention reassembled to hear its report.
The committee reported in favor of seating
the five slated delegates and its report was
accepted with a considerable minority vote
against it,

county. being the sppointees.
The East and the West.
As Walter Lyon stepped upon the plat
form Mr.. Graham took his hand, and in
transferring the chair to the president-elect,
spoke of the significance of the East and the
West-Philadelphia and Pittsburg-clasp-
ing hands as typical of what support the
ticket should receive in the result of this
convention. Mr.. Lyon spoke in substance
as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Convention:
Allow me to thank you for the honor in call
ing me to preside over your deliberations. 1
accept it. not only as recognition of the great
county of the West which gave Harrison, for
President over 20 600 majority. and was called
by Abraham Lincoln the state of Allegheny,
but as a recognition Of the younger element in
the politics of this State. Our deliberations SO
hope that they will continue as pleasant. The
result of this convention is anxiously
awaited by the people of the State and by
the people of the whole nation. The
1t is ready to consider and act on all the great
questions of the times. This convention is
composed of men Of all trades and occupations,
coming from the various sections of the State,
and l am reminded of the various interests OF
Pennsylvania and of the effect of the utter
ances. of this convention. The Republican
party, during its 80 years of life, has for a
majority of the time been in control OF this
of Rv 1arHful manQOnmpOt
finances the great war tax is almost removed,
and we are now ready to take the step for
equal taxation.
Before the day is ended we shall place in
nomination man for Governor who is in every
way fitted to occupy the executive chair The
contest has been heated and close, but all the
candidates would honor the Governors Office.
No matter who the nominee may be, the de-
feateG candidates will all support the nominee,
and the West will join hands with the East to
triumphantly elect him.
A Sudden Change Of Heart.
1t now seemed as if the convention was
ready to get down to business, but some
thing quite unexpected happened. Pre-
viously, when a recess of half an hour had
been taken to let the committees perform
their duties, some person had pro-
posed an hour and half recess. This was
objected to very strongly by Mr.. Graham,
who ruled that the order of business already

now, although it was only 1115, Mr.. Gra-
ham no sooner left the platform than he
proposed to take recess until o'clock for
dinner. Some of the delegates called his
attention to the fact that he objected to vast
ing time before, and the proposition for
such long recess met with cries OF mo-
from all parts of the house
A vote was quickly put, and, in spite Of
the fact that plain majority on a viva voce
ballot voted against the motion to adjourly
Chairman Lyon declared it carried. 1t was
quite plain the adjournment was necessary
Tor some purpose. Once out on the street,
the delegates very quickly found that it was
the attempt of Mayor Fitler, of Philadelphia,
to reorganize the delegation ior Hastings
hat caused the trouble. The Philadel-
phians were somewhat panic stricken, and
the Delamater people were afraid to let pro-
ceedings go on until the trouble was fixed
up. Had an adjournment not taken place
it is hard to tell what might have occurred.
