Felt In tho Outcome.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 81. : Tn
question as 10 who will get the secon
place, that OF Lieutenant Governor, i
the Republican convention tomorrow
is topic OF interest among the dele
gates here TO day. Passmore stock
on the rise this morning and It is sal
the Grangers are backing him for th
place. Watres aud Martin are botl
confident and yet fear a change AZ tn
last moment. That may result in nev
man being taken. It's certain that tn
Lieutenant Governorship will not b.
finally settled until all doubt has beef
removed from the nomination for Gov
ernor.
Passmore, Watres and Martin are al
lacking onto the Delamaier kite, apl
two Of them are going to be disappointed
perhaps all three OF them. Watres Il
the favorite with the Delamater lieu
tenants. II Hastings is the nominee H
is possible that the convention may be
stampeded for Montooth for Lieutenant
Governor. The Major has said that he
does not want to interfere with the men
who have been making the fight fol
second place, but III the nomination came
to him in that way he would probably
acceptit. 1t has been agreed that George
q. Graham, Of Philadelphia, will be
Temporary chairman and Waiter LYON,
oi Allegheny, permanent chairman.
Graham and Lyon are Quay men.
Graham, it is said, will vote for Hastings
on the first ballot, and Lyon will vote
for Montooth-still the Delamater men
claim they named both chairmcn. There
is every indication here to-day that Del
amater will get the nomination for
Governor.
NO ifofR FOR A DARK HORSE.
There has been little or no change in
the Republican situation in the last few
hours. The delegates are coming in fast
and tonight they will all be here.
Then the lines will be drawn and some.
thing definite will be known. AS mat.
tiers stand now the nomination Lays be-.
tween Delamater and Hastings with no
hope for n dark horse. Chairman An.
drews, who yesterday thought 1t might
be necessary 10 have Senator Quay here
to straighten out things, has changed
his mind this morning and the Senator
will not be on the ground. He is di.
recling the fight by wire, however. He
has direct wire into the Lochiel house,
lew doors from Chairman Andrews
room, and is kept advised OF everything
that goes on. A very significant fact in
conRection with this wire is that the
Delamater men have churge of this end
OF 1t. From the way the Deiamater peo-
pie are talking this morning the infer
ence can fairly be drawn that they ex-
pect Quay to issue his orders for the
Crawford county Senator tonight. Del
amater expresses himself with great
confidence this morning on the out.
como. II am just as sure OF my nomi-
nation" said he, "as am that the con-
vention will meet"
Everything points to his nomination
now, as it has for several days, and the
only thing needed is Senator Quay's
nod OF approval.
HASTINGS ENCOURAGEMENT.
Herei just where the Hastings people
get their encouragement. They claim
that Senator Quay will not interfere and
without his interference, Delamater can
not win. Hastings can win and they
claim he has the battle won without
Quay's aid. VIM. X. Leeds, who is
managing the Hastings fight has been
in consultation with II. IL. Byram, who
has charge Of Montooth' 3 candidacy, and
it is claimed they are trying to form a
combination Of the field against Deia.

people then have to hold their own
