Keystone State Democrats.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 19.-Pennsyl-
vania democrats after endorsing the ad-
ministration will nominate state ticket
today. The nomination for justice Of the
supreme court is conceded to Justice
Samuel Cuisine Thompson. The nomi-
nation for state treasurer, it is claimed,
will be given to Charles w. Raymond, OF
Middleton, who has known no opposi-
ton. The positive declination of Farmer
A. L. Titgen leaves an open field to Mr..
Raymond, who had a large following in
the convention two years ago.
The platform calls on the Pennsyl-
vania senators to support unconditional
repeal. It holds the republican party
and the Mckinley tariff responsible for
the financial condition OF the country
and declares prompt revision of the
tariff necessary.

An Elegant Home to be Built by the
Commercial Travellers.
BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 20. - A dozen
OF the liveiest cities Of the state. and
some that are not go lively, are endeav.
oring to secure the elegant $3.50, 900
home that is to be built next year for
the commercial travellers. The site com.
mittee will be here today to see what in
ducements Buffalo has to offer, for it is
the purpose of the committee to con-
slider the merits of every city in the
state. f. Q. Hamilton, Of Evansville,
Indiana. is the chairman, and as no
member of it is resident OF the EN-
pire state, fair judgment without preju.
dice or bias is looked for in the selec-
ton Of the site.
jamestown has offered for the home
forty acres OF land on the picturesque
shores of Lake Chautauqua and $4,000
in cash, and this is the highest bid that
has yet been made Elmira, Hornells
Vile, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and
other places have offered sites. and cash
bonuses in addition to site have been
rendered by both Binghampton and
Ithica.
The building is to cost at least $780,
600, and not less than fifty acres OF land
will be accepted for Its surroundings
The sum of $2l, 900 has already been
subscribed, and il is hoped to increase
it to $50 900 by the 10th of October,
when the national convention will meet
at Sy racuse. At that convention the site
will be determined on. 1t is expected
that the railroad companies will con-
tribute at least $25,0 for the home.
Last year 600, 100000 tons Of merchan-
disc sold by the travellers we're trans
ported over the railroads OF the United
Statss, and $l72 600, 900 was expended
by them in fares. additional funds will
be solicited from merchants and johbers
Of the country. 1t is calculated that the
fees Of the New York state travellers
alone would maintain the home.
