McKinIey-They subsida After Lively
Row.
Harrisburg, April 23 The Republi.
can State convention of Pennsylvania
to-day declared United States Senator
Matthew Stanley Quay to be its choice
for the Presidency, refusing even to
name Mckinley as its second choice.
When the platform was presented to
the convention by Gen. Bingham, Con-
gressman Robinson offered as an amend
ment resolution instructing the dele,
gates at large for Mckinley for second
choice, Cries of 'No, no, " and "Quay,
Quay" came from all over the hall.
A motion to lay this on the table was
made and the chair decided tho ques-
tion not debatable.
Mr.. Robinson insisted on speaking
on point of order, and the chair or
dered the roll call TO proceed, the yeas
and nays having been called for, The
result WAS Il pandemonium of noise,
during which Mr.. Robinson stood in
the aisle shaking his fist at the chair
man and shouting that no demanded
his rights
Order was finally obtained, the chair
Withdrew his ruling, and Mr.. Robinson
took the platform and made his speech
in Support Of his resolution. lie de
clared be was heartily IN favor Of Sena-
tor Quay's candidacy, and would, as a
delegate, vote for him at the st. Louis
convention. lie felt however, that
back Of the desire Of Senator Quay's
success there is feeling in favor Of
William Mckinley of Ohio, il after all,
it il not possible to confer the high
honor of the nomination upon Mr..
Quay. Mr.. Robinson was interrupted
at this point by loud cheers for Me-
kinlcy, with strong shouts for Reed.
Senator Ponrose responded to Robin
son s speech. lie brought the delegates
ia their feet with the most genuine on
thusiasm OF the day whom he declared
he was opposed to any action that
would belittle and make ridiculous tho
grand compliment the convention has
paid to Senator Quay. Mr.. Penroso ac-
cused Mr.. Robinson Of working small
political scheme for his own political
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Mr.. Robinson at
tempted angrily to interrupt Mr. PEN
rose, but the crowd hooted him down.
Order was finally obtained, and the
roll call proceeded. The proposition
was defeated yeas IS, nays 17S.
Mr.. Magee made speech against the
Endorsement of Mr.. Quay for President.
Hc said he represented u Mckinley dis
trict. and as delegate 10 the st. Louis
convention he would he recreant to his
trust il he did not publicly enter his
protest against Mr.. Quay. This ended
tho fight on the platform and it was
finally adopted.

lows; Congressman at large Galusha

New Letter Cancelling MAGAZINE.

new Barry letter stamping machine
was put in service at the postoilice last
Wednesday by member of the Barry
Postal Supply Co. of Oswego, n. Y.
1t has capacity for cancelling about
40, COO letters per hour and is valuable
addition to the local postal equipment.
After the machine was erected it was
given test by the local officials and
was entirely satisfactory. The motive
power is electricity. 1t is quite a
simple device and is readily under
stood by an operator 1t is in the
form OF an iron table about three feet
from the floor, and all of the mechan-
ism which can be readily detached is
on the the top. The weight is about
500 pounds. For sore time all of tho
cancelling at the local office has been
done by hand, and at times the men
we're taxed considerably to keep up
with the work. The Barry machines
are rented to the government, and an
order has heon given to place them in
the postoilices in all large cities. The
first machines which were put in
several offices by the Barry Co. are
now being replaced with new ones OF
the latest pattern, Of which the Will
mlngton machine is sample.

The New Castle Presbytery concluded
the session in Lower Brandyw;ne
Church Wednesday afternoon. AS OK
pected, the old Olivet Church trouble
was resurrected. The motion made by
William NJ. Candy that the minute
books of the session be brought before
the meeting had the effect of causing
a committee with tho Rev. II. Ii.
Moore as chairman 10 be appointed.
A report was returned saying that
some of the entries were very irregular
and the minutes of several meetings
held by the session of the church were
read and criticised. Several times
during the reading the members broke
out laughing.
There was long discussion after a
motion had been made and carried that
the report be adopted. Certain sus.
pensions were made by the session and
ID. 5. A. Gayley moved that as the sus.
pensions were made illegally they be
declared void. The Rev. Samuel Wylie
offered to amend this and moved that
commission be appointed to look into
the affairs at Olivet Church. Mr.,
keigwin assured the members that
there was no trouble at Olivet, but
w. NJ. Candy declared that there was.
The Rev. I. E. Montgomery, pastor
of the church, explained his action and
took the presbytery to task for making
sport OF him. He blamed the presby-
terry partly for the condition of affairs.
The moderator requested him to treat
the presbytery with respect and the
pastor said that he would when he was
treated with respect by the presbyteIy.
After a long and heated discussion N.
ii. L. Swan settled the whole matter
oy offering as an amendment motion
% lay the whole matter on the table,
Tho motion was carried.
The routine business was hurried
through, as the members wanted to
leave on the G. 06 train.
