| Harrisburg, Penn, April 20.-The Repuohcan
Convention held here to-day was remarkable for
| It's harmony and for the fact that the alleged
| bosses" kept their hands off Outside OF Sem
| ators Quay and Cameron, nearly every Repupn-
| can of any prominence in the State was dele
gate. As every Pennsylvania Republican Conveh-
| ton is it Blaine convention, but IT was
also Harrison convention, and of the delegates
elected to Minneapolis it Is safe to say that there
| is not one who will not vote for President liarri
son, although there is strong desire on the
part of some TO see Mckinley head the ticket.
Particularly is this true among the Phfladephians
The convention was the largest held in this
city for many years. 1t called to order at
20 o'cl,k this morning by State Chairman
Watres, and every county in the State was repre-
scntcd The temporary chairman was General
James w Latta, of Philadelphia a grizzlcd Gettys
burg veteran, who made IA splendid speech, eN-
tolling the Republican party and pointing out the
work which il must accomplish After the f0rma-
tion OF the usual committees, brief recess
takcn and then the Committee on Organization
reported f. X Martin, of Lancaster, for per
manent president, with yicc-presidcnt from
each Senate District in the State. This was Mr..
Martins first appearance since his defeat for the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor two years
ago. lie proved himself still in the front ranks
Of Republicanism, and made a fine Protection
speech.
c. L. Nlaace Of Pittsburg, reported the platform,
which invites the Judgment Of the people on the
record of the Republican party: indOrscs the Ad-
ministTntion Of President Harrison; points to tho
splendid work done by Mr. Blaine in the State De-
partment; reafrms belief in the principle OF
Protection: dcnounces the course of the Demo
! rio in nd nIe ho
action Of the State Legislature regarding school
appropriations
The mention Of the name OF President IIarri-
son evoked loud applause did that of " Penn
sylvanias brilliant SON. James C. Blaine. The
wild cheering lasted for several minutes.
The convention was about 10 adopt the plat
form ms a whole. when ID ID. Phillips, of Schuyl-
kill. dropped frcbrand that created considerable
disorder He offered resolution felicitating
Senator Quay on the result of the popular vote
for Senator as taken in several counties lately,
and adding the conventions approval of that vote.
In nm instant C. l.. Magee was on his feet de.
mnnding T. know what resolution like that had
Ia do with Republican platform in a Prcsden-
tial wear. After lively wranglc Mr. Phillips
withdrew his resolution with the understanding
fNat he would present ID again.
The platform was then adopted after which
Phillips again brought forward his resolution. II
was received with cheers and hSscs. lie stated
that he had not consulted Mr.. Quay at all in
the matter. but merely offered this tribute to
the Senator because il reflected the sentiments of
every true Republican in Pcnnsy ylvania. Magee
aOnin fought the resolution the ground that It's
adoption would put the convention in the attl-
tute Of taking sides In contest now
Going on hcrc-reicrring, Of course. to the quay
pazcn fight for the Scnatorship. 1t was evident
that il insisted upon in itS original shape INC
resolution would encounter strenuous opposition
and Philips again withdrew IT, in order 10 tone
il down. When next he offered it IL read thus
