But slightbuilt man from AL legheny county, who had never been known in the councils of the party, threw firebrand, which created 8 sen. sation almost beyond belief. When the county was reached, Delegate Reynolds arose and, amid intense silence, said: "The united delegation from Allegheny county desire to placein nomination for governor their first and only choice, David B.
