Harrisburg, PENN April 23.-The Republican
State Convention to-day Endorsed Matthew
Stanley Quay for President. and placed MIN on
the strongest kind of a protection and sound
money platform 1t was remarked that the
loudest applause of the day that given to
the sound money plank. II there are any silver
Republicans in Pennsylvania they failed to show
I'D in the convention. and they would have had
little consideration II they had declared them
selves Indeed. II was noticeable feature u
the debate In the Platform Committee whiie
considering a proposition to vote direct TOT can
didates for United States Senator, that Z. L.
Magee the Pittsburg leader, who has Tor years
been regarded as Senator CaTerons s'ahch
friend in this State denounced Cameron as mis-
representing the people Of Pennsylvania on 'he
financial question and said that If people had
an opportunity to vote instructions Tor MIN al
the polls he would not dare longer to mis-
represent them
The feature of the day was the attempt VI
Congressman John b. Robinson. Of Delaware
70 have the convention pass resolution re-
uuesting the delegates to the Repubhcan Ma
tionai Convention 10 vote for Mckinley attef
every effort had been made to nominate oeha-
tor Quay This resolution was not oHereo 81
much because of Robinson's love Tor Mch'nieS
:. for the gIudge he has against quay VINO
FUSED to make him delegate-at-iarge 10 d.
louis and il therefore lost much of Its force
among those who love Mckinley. but refused
TO be party to Robinson's revenge i
Robinson made a vigorous speech In favor OF
the resolution, but he faced a howNns ihoo
most Of the time. for the Quay heelers had pos
session of the galleries. and would listen W
nothing but praises Of Quay. The ins'nceri,v
=, poh,nson,s motives was exposed by Senator
Penrose who pleaded that the resolution DE
defeated on the ground that II passed the IN
dorsement of Quay would be belittled and weak
ened The resolution was defeated by lfs nays
to s. yeas but there was great deal OF oous-
ing the entire delegations of some counues
dropping out of the hall at the first sign OF as
turbance not desiring to go on the recoiu.
Morally 1t was victory for Mckinney anu
will weaken Quay. but it would have had much
more force II anybody else than Robinson hao
offered the resolution.
QUAY REELECTED CHAIRMAN.
The contest for State chairman between Frank
Willing Leach and John Elkn which IL was oe-
cided In caucus last night should be fought out
on the floor OF the convention, was settled aiter
midnight by Quay declaring that ne "ouio
again take the place. and he was reelected 10
day by a unanimous vote. Thus was happily
settled one of the fiercest fights in the history
of the party In this State-one which If 1t had
been transferred to the floor OF the convention
would have left scars that would always be In
sight
As II is Quay has gained nothing by his ac-
tion both of the mtn defeated being In the sulks.
1t is said that Leach, who has been the custodian
of Quay's secrets. Is about to cut loose from the
Senator and when the occasion comes VIII nave
something to say He left 5000 place In the
Sheriffs office In Philadelphia to work for quay
last year, and is now out In the cold.
