TROUBLES IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Rows Between the Quay and Iagee Forces
Result in Draw.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 31.-The Repu5-
licans of Allegheny county held eight
Legislative and two congressional district
conventions in Pittsburg today for the
purpose of nominating delegates to the
state national conventions. G. i. Magee
and Senator Flynn were nominated dele
gates to the National convention, from
the Pittsburg districts, and Congressman
Stone, and Robert McAfee from the Ale
gheny, the latter being favorable to Sem
ator Quay, and the former to Major Nc
Kinley. The fight in the legislative dis
tricts for delegates to the state oonven-
ton was between the Quay and Magee
factions, the Magee crowd carrying half
of them.
In the eighth the Quay delegates were
unseated and members of the press were
barred from the meeting of the commit
tee. The Quay forces objected to this and
bolted the convention and nominated q
separate set of delegates. Senator Quay
was Endorsed for President.

between 16 and TO years of age, cannot be

The Republicans of New Hampshire
congratulate their fellow citizens of al
parties upon the near approach of an OF
portunity to rescue their country from
the misrule of Democracy which for three
years has by it's incompetency and wick
edness, parayzed their productive indus
tries and crippled their mercantile and
commercial enterprises, destroyed much
of the value of their property, deprived
them Of profitable employment and spread
among them disappointment, privation
and distress, which added constantly and
rapidly to the national debt, impaired
national credit, cast suspicion upon
national currency and suIlied national
reputation at home and abroad, which
has profited none of our own people, ex-
cept sheriffs, assignees and the favored
spectators in government bonds, ami
which, though rebuked by the voters in
1894 and 1895, with emphasis never
equalled. doggedly refuses to be corrected
by it's chastisement, and persists in using
the power 1t retains to perpetuate and in
tensify the misery and disgrace it has
brought upon us.
To the end that this great deliverance
may be fully accomplished and our nation
may be restored to honor, glory and ma
der Republican rolicy, and continue the
wonderful development which was
brought TO stop by the incoming Presi-
dent Cleveland and his Congress, we de-
mand of the national convention soon to
assemble at st. Louis, the nomination OF
candidates whose election will mean the
speedy repeal of the infamous and ruinous
Democratic tariff and the substitution
therefor OF one based upon the pIincIples
of the Mckinley act, for the protection OF
our domestic industries, the promotion
of I eoiprocal trade with other ourtries
and the procurement of abundant reye-

Mr.. Putney was frequently interrupted
by applause and cheers loud and long
continued at the close OF the reading
of the resolutions.
Hon. +. W. Rollins of Concord, presi-
dent of the State Senate, created quite a
sensation by offering as an amendment
to the financial plank resolution favor
ing recommendation. He followed his
motion to substitute with strong argu-
ment. 4
Mr.. Putney returned to the platform
and supported the adoption of the report
of the committee, evidently having the
sympathy of the convention.
Senator Gallinger followed in the same
line OF argument that the report of the
COMMITTEES was definite and clear ex-
position of the Republican faith and the
belief i'll honest money.
Hon. j. G. Craw WORD of Manchester,
also opposed Mr.. Rollins's substitute.
Mr.. Rollins's substitute was rejected
by an emphatic viva yooe vote, ana the
platform as reported by the committee
was adopted without dissent
Before stating the question on the
Adoption of the platform, Senator Chand-
Ter said the only criticism he had to make
on the document was the failure to ar
raign the Democratic party in the first
paragraph.
The convention then adjourned.

they have not already achieved their in
dependence and an immediate return to
ali policies in which the Republican
party has so successfully illustrated the
methods by which it has demonstrated
it's ability to apply those principles in the

We recognize as most conspicuous among
such candidates New England's noble and

We will give the electoral vote of New

these because either is in himself plat

One ON the Lawyer.

A lawyer tells the following story
in The Green Bag: "Some time ago
he had under cross examination O
youth from the country who rejoiced
in the name of Samson, and whose
replies were provocative of much
laughter in the court. And so, ;
questioned the barrister, you wish
the court to believe that you are q
peaceably disposed and inoffensive
kind of person. Yes And that
you have no desire to follow in the
steps of your illustrious namesake
and smite the Philistines?' No.
I've not answered the witness.
And if l had the desire amt got
the power at present. Then you
think you would be unable to cope
successfully with a thousand enc
mics and utterly rout them with the
jawbone of an ass?' Well, answer
ed the rufiled Samson, I might have
q try when you have done with the
weapon.

A Singular Duel.

An extrordiday duel, which at
the time created an immense sensa-
ton, was one in which the decision
was arrived at, not by swords or
pistols, but by means Of a deadly
poison. The men-who, it is hard
ly necessary to say, had fallen ont
over a lady-had left the arrange
ment of details to their seconds.
and until they faced each other
they did not know by what meth
DDS they were to settle their differ
ence. One of the seconds was a
doctor, and he had made up for the
occasion four black pellets, all iden-
tical in size aud shape. "In one
Of these" he said, 81 have placed
a sufficient quantity Of prussic acid
to cause the almost instantaneous
death Of any one who swallows it.
We will decide By toss of coin
which of you is to have first choice,
and you will alternately draw and
swallow pill until the poison
shows it's effects" Two Of the pei
let's were then taken as the toss
had decided. but without effect in
either case. "This time" said the
doctor, speaking of the two pellets
remaining, you must both swal-
low the pill at the same instant.
The choice was made, and In few
seconds one of the men lay dead on
the grass.
