morrow. the man who is the friend OF
every Republican in Pennsylvania and
who stands closer to the people than
any other American citizen. No other
man could have won against the COM
bined power of patronage and money
that we have contended against. Sen
ator Quay's sagacity and knowledge OF
men has been vindicated and he Will
be elected tomorrow by an overwhelm-
ing majority" (Cheers)
Senator Arthur Kennedy, of Ale
gheny, was chosen secretary.
At this juncture, Senator Quay was
| escorted into the hall. and a scene OF
the widest enthusiasm ensued. In a
| speech, he said: Il understood that
one hundred and sixty delegates are
here. If this is so, the great issue
which has convulsed the Republicans
of Pennsylvania for the past two
months Is settled The battle was
| fought in the interest of good govern
ment generally and the purity of Re
| publican politics. You fought under
unfavorable circumstances. When
next you wage war with your OppO-
nents Of to-day, the State will 90 over
| whelmingly in your behalf"
The roll of delegates was then called
and one hundred and ffty-two whose
seats are uncontested answered to
! their names. The five contestants
from Philadelphia and one from Wyo-
ming county were called and their
votes recorded When the name OF
Henry R. Schultz, OF Philadelphia, was
called. United States District Attorney
| Ingraham, Of Philadelphia, stated that
he had a telegram from Mr.. Schultz,
! saying that he had missed the train,
but If in Harrisburg, he would be with
| Quay. Mr. Schultz was therefore add
ed TO the roll and Chairman Penrose
announced the total of one hundred
and ffty-nine delegates for Quay, six
of whom are contested. leaving 1873, or
eight more than the 145 necessary to
elect
Senator Thomas, of Philadelphia, Of
! fered a resolution stating that the
| chairman of the State Committee hav-
! ing failed to designate in his call for
! the convention the place for holding
/ the meeting a committee be appointed
! to select a suitable hall and that tickets
| of admission thereto be issued by the
! Quay members of the State Committee.
This resolution was adopted after
| Walter Lyon had made a speech in
which he said 1t was rumored on the
streets that it is the purpose of Chair
man Gilkeson to attempt to hold the
| convention in the Court House here,
which is now in the possession of des-
perate set of men.
Delegates favorable to Quay" he
said, take their lives in their hands
when they go to that house to oSnorrow.
Riot and bloodshed may result. The
/ strong should always be merciful to the
weak. They should not forget what is
due to a misled minority. 1t is proper
to hold the convention where its bus
mess can be transacted peaceably and
in order"
Senator Thomas resolution was
adopted and s. H. Miller, w IT. An
drews. Alexander Crow T. V Hooper
and Walter Lyon were named on the
committee.
In declaring the meeting adjourned
at 1915 o'clock, Chairman Penrose eau
toned the delegates to accept tickets
only from the Quay people and to be
prompt and faithful in their attendance
