THE ARRANGEMENTS AMPLE.

The arrangements for accommodating the
large crowd were ample, and the Pittsburg
Democrats who managed the affair are to be
congratulated. There was room for all.
Each county had her place and on either
side of the hall stood red guidons to desig-
nate where the delegates hailed from. Phil
adelphia had the vantage point owing to
| the large delegation from the Quaker City.
They were Immediately in front of the stage
while the smaller counties were assigned
to places not so conspicuous. A few
Republicans ventured within the Demo-
cratic walls, expecting to hear wrangling
and discordance, but they were disap-
pointed Everybody was a-hand shaking,
and not ripple arose to trouble the
placidity of the gathering Once, and only
once, did a semblance of this sort appear
When the motion to nominate a Permanent
Chairman of the convention was made,
every delegate had his favorite. After
numerous names had been shouted
DR. Judah Isaacs, of Philadelphia, nomina-
ted John j. MOlony Cheer upon cheer
reverbersted through the spacious hall. Mr.
Molony was elected by acclammation and as
formed his duty admirably He is
and handsome. He is engaged in fight
ing the claims of Bardsley creditors
and only his ardent loyalty to Pennsyi-
vania Democracy permits him to be in Pitts
burg He made neat address after taking
the chair, saying that it gave him pleasure
to act, and considered it an honor He
spoke of the status of political affairs in the
State, and it panied him to say that Phila-
delphia had shown herself morally rotten.
He admOnished the delegates present that a
hard fight was at hand, and urged everyone
to lend helping hand in the battle at is
the duty of the General Assembly, said he,
''to eliminate all such dishonest officials
like which that body will have to deal with
in the near future. God speed the day." he
said, "when purity shall exist in politics. Z"
BLACK REELECTED PRESIDENT.
When the committee on permanent or
ganization of the societies maGe its report.
and Chauncey T. Black was reelected Pres
ident of the State societies, the excitement
equaled that of bedlam. Hats. canes and
handkerchiefs were thrown through the air
as thick as stage snow. Z. Zeigler, of York,
thanked the convention in behalf of their
favorite son, and the tribute he paid to the
absent statesman was frequently interrupt
ed by loud and vociferous applause. Mr..
Lelgler IurJnSr sdlQ. we, as DEM
ocrats are now thoroughly organ
lied and harmonious No party
fights and jealousies like the Scranton fiasco
of last week. There it was a case of one
man power controlling the mouths and lips
of the voter. Here in this assembly the
name of Chauncey Forward Black is in
dorsed by every good Democrat in Penn
sylvania,"
After the gentleman had finished and the
cheering ceased, calls for "Harrity! Har-
rity!' were repeatedly heard. That gentle
manly Secretary of the Commonwealth was
not on the stage where the other lights sat,
and it was thought he was not present.
However, after some persuasion, the modest
Vet mighty man arose slowly from out of
party of constituents away back in the rear
of the hall. He begged to be excused from
talking further than to say that his hope
was for the star of Democracy to work its
way further in the ascendency. He said he
was not given to making speeches in public.
