Pennsylvania and State Delegations.

=
From The Chigago Inter Ocean
One wonld suppose from the prevailing
tone of recent Washington correspondence
that district representation was q barren
ideality.n One dispatch of yesterday stated
that Senator quay had his way a. the Penn
sYivsn;a convention and that the delegates to
Minneapolis were not instructed. The whole
tenor ofthe comment is that the State is
herein unit. The truth is that this absence
Of instructions applies only to the dele
gates at large. for it is only over those dele
gates that the State convention had any
authority whatever. There are twenty-eight
districts in Pennsylvania, each entitled to
two delegates These fifJy-six delegates are
no N re amenable to a Pennsylvania State
convention than they are 10 any other rep
resentative gathering Then, too, while it
is true that the delegates at large from that
State were not instructed for Harrison they
are friendly to him.
In the same dispatch reference Is made TO
New York and Ohio, as well as PennsyItnia
TIE pan, ssys the dispatch, 'of the anti
Harrison men has been 10 control delegations
from Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio,
so that they would be uninsirnc;ed so that
at the proper tine, # the situation should
seem ripe, an opposing candidate might be
sprung upon the convention who would
have the support Of the delegates from those
three greet States" Under the old system
that might have been done. In 1876 Roscoe
Conkling swaug New York and Don Cameron
Pennsylvania, actuated BY common
opposition, and when the proper time came
they joined ohio in supporting Rsys and he
was nominated The unit rule was broken
in 1889, and in 1854 and lSSs not a vesiige
Of ii was left. Previous to district representa-
ton three conventions oaly had 10 be con
trollei and manipulated, but now it would
require the control and manipulation Of no
less than eighty-six conventions TO secure
the same result
TIE National convention ought 10 be 4 de
Lucrative body. The objections % President
Harrison's denomination ought to be clearly
stated and fairly considered by the delee ates.
There should be no disposition shown TO
force nomination If Mr.. QGay or any
other prominent Republican has reasons for
regarding Mr- HarrisOa's candidlcy as un-
desirable, nom broad and impersonal point
Of view, let them not hesitate TO present
them but they are not likely to accomplish
anything on the o!d solid State base or
operations. Nor is ii unfair to aed that at
the rate Of progress made by the Harrison
movement during the last moath or two
there viii not be enough LEFT Of the opposi-
ton by the time the National convention
meets TO demand roll call.

Prisoners in Revolt.

Ever since State SAnator 0sbourn
instituted an official inquiry into the alleged
abuses practiced at the Huntingdon Rsior-
matory the inmates have manifested such
reckless contempt for the rules of the IN
stitution as to make them, practically,
masters Of The situation.
Assaults on guards and keepers are now
an almost daily occurrence. Last Friday
morning a prisoner named George Cato, OF
Philadelphia, who was working in the
hrickysrd, struck a monitor named Syi-
vester Kirk, also of Philadelphia. with a
shovel handle on the head and back and in
fiicied probably fatal injuries
Cato took revenge on Monitor Kirk be-
canse the latter had reported him. Friday
night another rebellious inmate knocked
down one OF the teachers in the school roon
with a slate.
A SERIOUS OUTBREAK.
This morning, however, the most violent
outbreak occurred, when veinmates attack
ed Henry Yarnell, teamster Of this place
and Thomas Long, a guard. Without
apparent provocaiiOn, five of gang of
prisoners who were working in the brick
yard, jumped on Yarsell and beat him 50
terribly that he is confined to his bed. In
defending Yarnell, Guard Long was also
ferociously set upon and beaten. Since Ii
was developed at the Investigation that
none of the keepers or inside guards are
armed, the prisoners have ignored the rules
of the Reformalory and have given them
selves up TO reckless abandonment IN
