HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The
Republican state convention met
here today and unanimously agreed
on the following ticket: State chair
man, M. S. Quay; state treasurer,
Ben J. Haywood, of Mercer; for
superior court judges (six to be elect
ed), James A. Beaver, of Center
county; e. N. Willard, Lackawanna; |;
Charles E. Rice, Luzerne; George B.
Orlady, Huntingdon; John J. Wick
ampton. Tonight Senator Quay is
the hero, as we'll as the idol, of Penn
sylvania politicians of all degrees of
prominence. His rooms at the Loch-
iel hotel have been constantly be-
sieged since the convention ended
his matchless leadership. The SEN
ator takes all of the praise and con-
gratulations that are being show
cred upon him with his usual
stoicism, and so far as outward ap-
pearances go his demeanor is just
the same as when the fight seemed
to be going against him. The conven-
ton, which started out with every
promise Of being one of the most
exciting ever known in the state,
developed into a 'love feast" and
wound up about as tamely as any
ever seen here.
The first battle between the fac
tionS came on the election Of a
temporary chairman. The Quay
candidate won by a majority Of 80,
and after this the senator had his
own way completely. An incident of
the day was the offering by Senator
Quay Of a resolution calling for the
publication of politics and civil
service in all branches of the public
service, which was afterward en-
bodied in the platform. Regarding
this document there was much dis
cussion in committee. Because Of
the fear that the outside rabble
might break1in, it was deemed I'M
wise to open the doors of the hall
after all entitled to admission were
inside, and it was necessary for the
fifty platform makers to get in one
corner and discuss their business.
FOR SOUND MONEY.
The anti-Quay minority, led by
Congressman Dalzell, fought for a
more definite expression in favor Of
sound money, and being out-voted in
committee, brought their fight to
the convention floor, and here car
ried their point without much op-
position, Senator Quay accepting
their plank as an addition to the one
in his platform. The resolutions
were prepared by men opposed to
Gov. Hastings, and the matter of
indorsing his administration was
very nearly overlooked, a thought
full delegate offering the necessary
plank few minutes before final ad-
journment.
The day was the hottest Of the
season, and for more than four hours
the delegates, newspaper men and
spectators were imprisoned in a
sweltering atmosphere, without food
or drink. With a few exceptions ev-
cry man sat in his shirt sleeves, SEN
ator Quay being one of the first to
set the example. The delegates who
arrived early found over 125 men
in the hall, guarding the entrances to
prevent toughS and heelerS from TAX
ing possession of the premises. They
had been there all night, and showed
evidences of their long vigil as they
marched out of the hall shortly be-
fore the hour for convening. AL
though there was an outward indi-
cation of harmony and forgiveness,
it is said that this extends only to
Gov. Hastings and his friends. Those
ON the platform observed that SEN
ator Quay did not look at or speak
to G. L. Magee, David Martin and
Senator Porter, the men who have
led the fight against him, and it is
predicted tonight that the wounds
now partly healed will be opened in
very short time.
L
The compromise by which a bolt
ing convention was avoided was ar
rived at about 8 o'clock this morn
| ing. In the conference that led tc
this result ex-Chairman Thomas "
| Cooper, Lietit. Gov. Walter Lyon
| and Judge Miller, of Mercer county
represented Senator Quay, and State
Senator Flynn, District Attorney
Graham, of Philadelphia, and ex-
| Congressman Yardley represented
the so-called combine" After much
discussion. it was agreed that but
| one convention should be held, that
the six superior court judges should
be renominated, and that the con-
| vention roll should be made up with
each of the six contestants and con-
testees allowed half a vote. It was
also agreed to admit none but dele
| gates and newspaper men to the con-
vention hall. The hall opened al
10 O'Clock, but the delegates did not
begin to put in an appearance be-
fore IL. Gov. Hastings and David
Martin were the first to arrive. They
came in together, and were received
with much enthusiasm as they took
| their seats. Senator Porter, of Phil.
adelphia, was the next arrival. He
too, was applauded as he came down
from the stage to seat in the front
hall. At precisely II o'clock Sepa-
tor Quay entered the hall with Con.
gresham Stone, of Allegheny. He
was applauded as he walked up tfe
