1t is much easier to write something
frivolous and fippant, that tickles
some one than to deal with subjects
that have something real about them
and that require some thought to di-
late upon them. Occasionally we 60
after subject that seems to us to be
of great moment, and should be of
deep solemnity to all our readers, but
the apparent lack Of proper apprecia-
ton tends TO discourage us. Some
times we say some foolish thing and
hear dozens repeat it, while sentences
that are the very essence of mature
thought seem to be wasted on the
desert air. This we repeat j. little

theology we would not expect it to
have any effect on persons who did not
believe in the existance Of a God. but
we would expect it to affect the chris.

This thought was once forcefully pre-
sented to our mind by a minister who
had been preaching to a congregation

THE PENNSYLVANIANS
Senator Quay Won the Fight
Yesterday.
THE sAwNMoRE WRECKED
Goes Ashore Near BandOn, Coos
County First Transfer of Gold
for Greenbacks.
e sAwNMoRE WRECKED

Harrisburg, August 2S.-The Republican
state convention met today and unani-
mously agreed upon the following ticket:
State chairman, M. S. Quay; state treas
urer, Ben. j. Haywood; superior court
judges (six to be elected, James A. Bea-
yer, of center county; q. N. Willard, OF
Lake county; Charles II. Rice, of Lincoln;
George r. Orlady, of Huntingdon; ]. j.
Wickman, of Beaver; Howard Reeder, OF
Northampton.
Tonight Senator Quay is here, as wen
as the idol OF the Pennsylvania politi-
clans of all degrees OF prominence. His
rooms at the Lochiel hotel have been
constantly besieged since the convention
by men calling to pay homage to his
matchless leadership. Tho senator takes
all praise and congratulations that are
being showered upon him with his usual
stoiclsm and so far as outward appear
ances go, his demeanor is just the same
as when the fight seemed to be going
against him.
No state political convention heretofore
held in this city ever drew so many
people as those who came to watch the
convention of Republicans today. The
hotels were inadequate to the demands
made on them and many were obliged
to walk the streets last night.
The hall opened at o'clock and on the
two front rows of seats in the first
gallery was a formidable body of men
in their shlrtsleeves They had been
placed in charge of the hall last night
by Chairman Gilkeson, and were ready
to carry out his orders
There were, however, no signs of trou-
BILE. 1t had been confidently predicted
that there would be the biggest kind of q
fight In the convention but In last nights |
meeting the peacemakers were finally |
successful and when the conference ad- |
journed at o'clock this morning 1t was |
with the full understanding that matters
were going to go smoothly In the meet |
ing. An agreement had was that but one |
convention should be held; that the six |
superior judges shall be renomluated and |
that the convention roll shall be made !
up with each of the six contestants be- |
ing allowed half a vote. 1t was also |
agreed to admit mono but delegates and
newspaper men to the hall.
The settlement indicated above Is con-
tingent upon its approval by the leaders
of-each faction. There Is no doubt that
Senator Quay has won his fight The
platform adopted re-affirmes the curren-
cy plank of the national convention OF
1892 and thanks Senator Quay on his
fight against the Wilson bill.
