opportunity. He was tossed around the
rostrum half dozen times and finally
thrown up against the rear wall in rather
Il dilapidated condition. The other press
boys Jared in bad shape. also, and for
once in their lives the press gang was
mashed into mother earth. The gang
righted themselves in short order. how
ever. and returning to the center of the
fight on their feet once more and watched
the situation mt close range. While all
this fighting was being INDUCED in the
police were not idle. They had been eX-
pccting this all day and were according
ly loaded for bear. They swarmed in en-
massc, with Marshal Lucy and Sergeant
Montgomery ut their head, and smuggling
right and left, soon brought order out Of
chaos. When matters were righted some
and il was discovered that while there
were some badly bruised no one was Sc
riOusly hurt, the convention was partial
ly called to order and the final business
having been disposed of. the Quincy crowd
adjourned, leaving the Mckinley faction
in charge of the hall. The proceedings Of
both conventions will be found in full be-
low, and inasmuch as both have adj
journed it is suggested that the citizens
committee who have the hall in charge
go down and collect the remnants of their
tables and chairs. When the convention
opened Tuesday there were five big ia
bles for use on the stand. Last afternoon
the last Of these tables went down before
the will Of the people. 1t is suggested
that the convention committee buy the
next lot of tables in carload patches. As
to the outcome of yesterdays convention
the matter of a contest will have to be
settled in st. Louis. The Mckinley men
stated last night that they proposed to
fight the matter out on Cuney's dctato-
rial rulings and his refusal to have roll
call, They say that they had the matter
cnched on II roll call, as was evidenced
by the fact that when the roll was called
in their own convention they had among
uncOntcsted delegations G2G votes out of
n possible $50, and knowing this fact,
Quincy would not give them II roll call.
The Quincy crowd claim that everything
was regular and legal and are gently

THE M'KINLEY CONVENTION,
AS soon as the Quincy convention adj
iourned, Chairman Grant mounted the
desk, which very promptly gave way
with him. A chair was rushed forward
and mounting it he informed the crowd
that the proceedings of the Quincy crowd
were null and void and he now declared
the regular convention TO be in order ana
ready for business.
Accordingly one Allen Harris of Harris
county was elected temporary chairman
by reclamation. Messrs. Love, Stokes
and Armstrong were appointed Il COM
mittee to escort him to the stand.
Lewis, Loudweler, A. Stokes and j.
Shumate were appointed temporary sec.
retaries. Monroe Spikes was elected
sergeant-at-arms.
Rosenthal moved to accept the report of
the regular conventions credentials COM
mitee's report and wherever it contlicted
with their desires that the minority report
prepared by one of that committee be ac-
cepted in lieu thereof, which would Orga-
nize the convention in McKinley's inter-
est. AS there was some opposition to
this proposition he withdrew it.
The following committees were then
appointed:

OF course, they were declared elected,
after which the convention was de

THE CONCERT FRIDAY NIGHT.

Much interest Is being eyinced In the
second concert Of the Metropolitan series,
which takes place at the Academy to-
morrow night. and promises TO be a most
phenomenal success. A cast. which In
cludes such artists as Maud Powell,
Sieveking. Xanten Bossini, and Frances
Miner, Is surely deserving of an ovation.
which the Richmond public Will not be
slow to accord.
Particular interest centres round the
first appearance here of Sieveking, VINO
is said by the leading critics TO be one OF
the three greatest pianists OF the day. lie
Is possessed of n marvellous technique,
and combines with II a poetic sensuous,
and dignified tone. IL is said that he is
the most magnetic player that has ever
visited these shores. Mr.. Gottschalk. who
IS in the city representing the artists
management, has received a telegram
from New York announcing that Sieve
kings first recitas in New York have
been received with tremendous enthusl-
asm.
Anart from the artistic excellence OF
the playing Of Miss Maud Powell, who Is
esteemed by critics as the most promi-
nent violinist of the day, an added in
terest will be aroused by her appearance
here from the fact that she will use at the
concert one of the most famous instru-
ments in the world-a genuine Amati,
valued at $4,000
The seats are selling very rapidly at

AWAIT NEW RETURNS
THE AMENDED ABSTRACT Ex-
PECTED ny TOMORROW.
CERTIFICATES TO YOST And WALLACE
Little Doubt That tho state Board
VIII Issue Them without Delay
Possible That Many Counties May
Send New Returns.

The State Board Of Canvassors held no
session yesterday, and II is not def
nltcly known when they VIII ST. again;
though it is more than probable that
they will convene Tomorrow or next
day TO consider the Yost and Wallace
cases.
The amended abstract from Hanover,
which, II accepted by the board, will in
sure Mr. Charles NJ. Wallace, Jr.. the
electorship from this district, is in the
hands of Secretary Lawloss, and 1t is
probable that 1t will be taken up and
passed upon by the board tomorrow.
1t is confidently expected that the Buck
ingham county board will convene with
out further DELAY and amend their GER
LITIGATION of Mr.. Yosts vote. and the alb
stract as amended will probably reach
here Saturday, crediting to a." Yost the
vote, as certified originally for Jake
Yost.
Clerk Forbes, Of buckingham, has been
telegraphed 20 10y Mr.. Edgar Allan, of
counsel for Yost. and Informed of Judge
Keith's decision. and asked to assemble
the county board at once. with the as
surance that the Courts order will be
placed in his hands ere they can get to-
gether.
1t is believed that the State board will
receive the new abstract without any
further order from the Supreme Court,
and that when 1t comes they Will imme-
0iately award the certificate of the Tenth
District TO Mr.. Yost.
The Supreme Courts order may bring
about considerable changes in the returns.
II the other county boards take cogni-
zance of ii. Many errors of certifcation
were discovered by the State board. and
thousands Of votes were practically
stricken out by that body as a result.
In the cases of Mr. Yost and Mr. Wallace
the results were changed thereby, but in
all the other cases majorities alone are
affected. Every successful candidate,
though. wants credit for the entire vote
ne received. and it IS, therefore probable
that other county boards will send in
amended abstracts. There seems to be
no question of their right to do this. for.
IL the buckingham board is competent
TO meet and recertify under mandamus
OF the Supreme Court, il would appear
that the other county boards have the
right TO meet and do likewise by their
own motion.
