Hsrrity and Anti-H arrity Men.

HARRISBURG, April 1.-The delegates to the Democratic state convention on Wednes- day will be divided into Harrity and anti Harrity men. Mir. Harrity is the secretary of the commonwealth under Governor Pat tison, and wants to be reelected member of the Democratic national committee from Pennsylvania. Mir. James Guffey, of Pitts burg, is also making fight for the place, and his friends are called the anti-Harrity- ties. The friends of Harrity have made claims that their candidate would obtain nearly three fourths of the state conven- tion, but the anti-Harrity leaders announce that the list of delegates elected to the con- vention show 211 in favor of Guffey outside of Philadelphia, and this gives them fair chance of winning.
 The entire number of delegates is 463. The anti-Harrity people are trying to make capital of an alleged declaration of Gov ernor Pattison that he is opposed to in- structing the delegation for Cleveland, as nearly all the Democratic county conven- tions have instructed their delegates to vote for no candidates for national delegates ex- cept pronounced Cleveland men.

 should not be frank if I did not say to you that often fear do not deserve all the kind things such friends you say of me, and l have frequent misgivings as to the wisdom of again putting me in nomination.
 l. therefore, am anxious that sentiment and too unmeasured personal devotion should be checked when the delegates to the convention reach the period of deliberation. In any event there will be no disappointment for me in the result Yours very truly,

ALBUQUERQUE Q Q. BUILDING OPENED.

1
The Democrat gives the following
account of the opening of the mag.
nifceut $65,OOO building of theil
Commercial club:
The formal opening of the Albu
querque Commercial club building
last evening outstripped IN brilliancy,
elegance and magnificence all other
social events that have taken place
in the broad expanse of the south
west.
All preparations were carefully
made, as became the imposing
event, and the details were carried
out most accurately. Not the slight
est jar was apparent anywhere and
every circumstance conspired to
make the occasion a glittering sue
cess. Even the heavens were aus
picious, and Old Sol came out in all
his grandeur and gave us the most
beautiful, balmy day of the season.
The attendance of lovely women and
distinguished men, many of them
guests of the occasion invited from
their far-away homes, was large and,
under generous glare of electricity
in the spacious halls of the club
building, formed a beautiful panor-
annie scene never to be forgotten.
Never before had such a general or
successful effort at elaborate costum-
ing been made in this city, and the
effect was simply bewildering.
Taste, suitable effect, elegance and
grace were noticeable in the cos
tunes on every hand
The music, by the Fort Wingate
band, was superb, and the viands
and wines, that were temptingly
spread in the banquet hall on the
first ioor, could not be excelled.
AT o'clock the orchestra an
nounced the grand march, and the
dancing continued until IL O'Clock,
when the banquet was served.
In neat address President Chill
ders embodied short sketch of the
institution and It's purposes.
There were many present from
other places, but we see only the
names of A. M. Blackwell and wife
and DR.. w. R. Upton from Las We
