PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-There is con-
siderable disaffec tion in Democratic circles
because July has been chosen as the date
for the holding of the Democratic State
Convention, and'an effort will be made to
hav the Executive Committee of the State
Comm ittee called together for the purpose
of having it changed until July 9, one week
later. The delegates from this city have
been disc ussing the subject, and a move
ment is now under way to have the change
brought about.
Ex-Representative MCGOWAN, Of the
Second ward, who is one of the delegates
elect to the State Convention, while dis
cussing the subject to-day said: "The
date for the holding of the conven-
tion can readily be changed without preju-
dice to any of the gentlemen who have been
announced as candidates for place on the
State ticket.
INTERFERE WITH THE PATRIOTS.
".The I'd of july" continued Mr.. Nc
Gowan, (which is the date fixed for the
holding of the State convention, will inter-
fere materially with those who have made
their arrangements to 60 out of town on
July 4. NY judgment is that the E1ccu-
tive Committee of the State Committee
might be called together for the purpose of
changing the date, as 1 believe such q
change would be well received by those who
have been elected as delegates to the State
Convention"
Ex-senator Wallace is at the Continental
Hotel where he has been called upon by a
number OF his friends who are actively at
work in his behalf as candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
Among Mr.. ,Wallace's callers to-day
were John P. Given, of Lancaster;
e1-Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentative, John Z. Faunce, of this
city, and State Senator Henry P. Green, of
Berks county. Wallace's friends admit
that the Pattison movement has assumed
considerable strength within the past
month, but they are of the opinion that when
the State Convention meets Clear field coun-
.ty's favorite son will have more than a sufi-
cient numoer of delegates to insure his NOM
ination for Governor.
BREACH OF FAITH CHARGED.
Benjamin F. Meyers, OF Harrisburg,
who is at the head of the Wallace move
ment in the interior of the State, charges
that the Scott t-Harrity people who partici-
pated in the Bellevue conference have been
guilty of a breach of faith, and it is likely
that there will be lots of passages OF hot
words between those who favor Wallace's
nomination and the Pattison adherents
prior to the meeting of the State Convention.
Ex-Speaker John E. Faunce, who has
been mentioned as candidate for the nomi-
nation for Lieutenant Governor, will subor-
dinate his desires in order to assist in secur-
ing Mr.. Wallace's nomination for Gov
ernor, and is ready to step aside, if by so
doing he can assist Mr.. Wallace's chances.
The Wallace people are angry at William
L. Scott because of his effort to produce the
impression throughout the State that e1-
Senator Wallace is opposed to the renomi-
nation of ex-President Cleveland
Speaking on the subject to-day promi-
nent Lancaster county Democrat said: "Bill
Scott has endeavored to weaken Mr.. Wal
lace's chances for the nomination of Gov
ernor by giving it out that Mr.. Wallace will
oppose the election of Cleveland delegates.
am friend of Mr.. Cleveland's, and would
like to see him at the head of the national
ticket. but my Judgments that year hence
will be sufficient time to discuss the subject"
