IA Is Believed That the Pennsylvania
Republicans VIII To-day Nominate
Gregg and Price-CoIIector Cooper and
the Blaine Boom.
HARRISBURG, Aug. 1.-the state Re
publican convention is in session here.
The ticket will doubtless be Gregg for aud
itor general and Price for state treasurer.
It is almost certain that the convention
will indorse Blaine for the presidency in a
broad and unequivocal plank. A resolu-
tion will probably be introduced demand
ing a constitutional convention. All the
candidates are here.
John P. Rekin, of Indiana county. is
down for permanent chairman Of the con
vention, while Representative Harry
Hall will WELD the gavel temporarily.
Quay and magee shake Hands.

vice versa
For the present both insist upon their
man for auditor general, but II is believed
that the trouble will be adjusted by a
transportation Of the names. so that Price
can have the auditors place and Gregg the
treasury.
Bow 1t VIII BE Settled.
II this arrangement cannot be made it
will then devolve upon the convention TO
settle the matter, and it will be done in
this way: Gregg and Price, IL is said. will
both be named for auditor, and the former
will be successful. Then Price will be
taken up for treasurer and nominated by
acclamation. This plan meets with favor
among the friends of both candidates, who
see in II q way out Of the dilemma and an
easy method OF relieving Price of the fear
that seems to possess him regarding his
acceptance Of a place on the ticket for

what MaEee Says.
When asked about the meeting between
Senator Quay and himself, Mr. Magee
said. II have been friend of Senator
Mylin for many years, and so has Senator
Quay When Mr.. Mylin asked us to meet
and DISGUISE his candidacy, IL was only
natural that we should do so oheerfully.
We met in Senator Myths room. It was
thought by those present. including SEN
abor Quay, that the convention should
solve the problems Of candidates for itself
Quay said he was and Is perfectly friendly
to Mylin, but that he would not interfere
for him or anybody else. AS delegate to
the convention intend TO support Senator
Myths candidacy and will do what l can

ticket. Of course.
