IL difference Of opinion among the Penn

of the delegation" Just before polling
the delegation a New York delegate asked
Quay what he was going to do, and the
Senator answered: "Wc'llgo down with the
ship" The roll call was followed with in
tense interest Disston, Elkins Graham

J. A. Sharsbeger, ofthe Twelfth district,
was absent, but his alternate, Mr.. Shiifert.
voted as he would have done, had he been
present, for Harrison. Galusha A. Grow
was unable to attend the convention. He
was for Harrison, but his alternate voted
for Mckinley. The only man in the dele
CATION who violated his instructions was
John G. Lower, of the Nineteenth Dis
trict. He was instructed tor Harrison and
voted for Mckinley.
After the vote had been announced Quay
stood at the head of the delegation to
watch the effect of Pennsylvania action
upon the other States. II did not cause
the Harrison column to waver, however,
and when he saw the votes steadily piling
up lor the IreSlueut ne turned 10 General
Ree1er and said it is all over, and immedi-
ately lost all interest in the proceedings.
He picked up his hat and said he thought
he would retire, but Just then Texas was
called and her twenty-five votes gave
Harrison a majority of the convention, and
there was another outbreak of wild en-
thusiasm.
Quay remained until it had subsidized
AS he was about to leave Congressman
Boutclle,. of Maine, came up and Quay
said: "They do not seem to have any
further use for us, and | am going out !"
''Well | am about through myself" said
Boutelle Quay told Rcedcr and Martin
that he would not be back again and
directed them to go along with New York
III the naming of Vice President.
Don't make any fight against the Har
| rison people, " was his parting injunction
as he departed from the hall with This son
Dick.
The Pennsylvania delegates who voted
for Harrison are deserving of great credit
from their constituencies. They withstood
the greatest kind of pressure and assisted
very materially in breaking the scheme to
stampede the convention for Mckinley.
