the nomination of Mr.. Stone for the
head of the ticket contenting them
selves with tho concentration of their
vote on Charles w. Stone The vote
was uneomfortably close for the Quay
adherents, Colonel Stone receiving only
10 more votes than the number neces-
sary to a choice, 1893 votes. The 1863
votes cast for @. w. Stone represented
the combined strength of that candi-
date and John Wanamaker. The lat
ter provided the only sensation of an
otherwise cut and dried convention by
presenting a letter of withdrawal in
which he denounced the methods of
the dominant Republican faction and
urged his friends to support o. w.
Stone. The withdrawal is interpreted
to mean that Mr. Wanamaker has
placed himself in a position to run as
an independent candidate for governor
If he so elects.
General Reeder and Wanamaker both
were nominated, but withdrew before
the balloting, the former throwing his
five votes to w. A. Stone.
The vote for lieutenant governor was.
Goblin, 226; Grady, 20; Cochran, 80.
Everybody agreed to the suggestion
that the nominations of James W.
Latta of Philadelphia, for secretary of
internal affairs. and W. w. Porter of
Philadelphia, for judge of the superior
court, be made by reclamation. The
ticket was completed by the renomina-
ton of Galusha A. Grow and Samuel
a, Davenport for congress-at-large. A
rollcall, however, was necessitated by
the friends of Congressman w. q.
Arnold of Clearfield insisting that their
favorite's name should go before the
convention as a contestant against Grow
and Davenport, the slated candidates.
The vote was announced as Grow, 2S5;
Davenport 2l5; Arnold, 14S.
The platform reaffirms the Republi-
can national platform of 1896, approves
the course of the president and con-
gress in the war with Spain, demands
vigorous prosecution of the war to a
successful conclusion, pledges earnest
support to the president in whatever
measures he may deem necessary,
rejoices with the people of the
nation up the navy's brilliant record in
the present war, demands an increased
naval force and adequate coast defenses,
views with pride Pennsylvania s prompt
response to the presidents call for
troops, reaffirms adherence to the doc
trine of protection to American indus
tries, urges the imperative necessity for
the construction of the Nicaragua canal,
advocates the construction of waterway
connecting the Ohio river with the
great lakes and the lakes with the sea-
board, reaffirms the law restricting for
eign immigration, heartily endorses the
administration Of President Mckinley
and commends the wise, careful and eff
fieient admit istration of the present
state government.

No HardshinS.

A correspondent of the Wheeling
Intelligencer writing to his paper
from Chickamauga says that the
story i'm the Pittsburg Dispatch
about the West Virginia troops hay
ing to go seven miles for water is
without foundation. The men have
suffered no privations to speak of
and they are in splendid shape.
None of them are sick and they are
enjoying the experience greatly.
This will be welcome news to the
mothers and other relatives and
friends of the boys whom they have
been picturing as suffering untold
misery on account of the Dispatch
and other newspaper stories.

Take at random 100 out-and-out
advocates of the gold standard in
public life and you Will find at least
95 of them opposed to making the
rich man bear his just proportion of
the burdens of the government
through an income tax, IN favor of
issuing almost any amount of interest
bearing bonds, and supporting every
corporation and monopolistc abuse.
Take at random, from among those in
public life, 100 champions of indie
pendent bimetallism and at least 80
of them will be found to favor an in
come tax, absolutely opposed to in
creasing the interest bearing debt UNI
til all other legitimate methods of
raisiLg money have been exhausted,
and fighting tooth and nail every cor
porate and monOpolistic wrong.
Nevertheless the gold men are up

NINETY SEVEN
stood the Thermometer In Col. Spill
mans Tent Sunday Was the Hottest
Day of the Camp-West Virginia and
Ohio Joins Hands In Decorating.


CHATTANOOGA, May sl.-The first
West Virginia regiment celebrated
decoration Day along with the Sixth
Ohio. These two regiments are quar-
tered near the ground where many OF
their sires and relatives contested.
They decorated the monuments erect
ed to their memory and listened to
patriotic addresses.
Sunday was the hottest day the
volunteers have experienced since
joining the army. At the heidquar-
tiers Of Col. Spilman, Of the First West
Virginia, one of the coolest places in
the immense park, the thermometer
registered 81 degrees. The glaring
sun beat down IN a way that was par
ticularly threatening. 1t was ex-
tremely fortunate that it was Sun
day, and the boys had no arduous
duties TO perform, else the heat pros
tration list would have been ire
mendous.
The heat was so intense that the
guards were all stationed in shady
places. 1t would have been suicide
to have placed men in the boiling sun,
but as 1t was, several collapsed. The
men were all given freedom and
sought secluded shady spots, where
they slept the greater part of the day.
Religious exercises were held by all
the regiments and were largely at
tended. 1t is not compulsory to at
tend services, but the great MAORI ty
OF the boys do it Of their own volition.
The First and Third Pennsylvania
had sermon preached to them by
Chaplain Arbnthnot, Of the First
West Virginia. who did double duty.

LOOK OUT.
The Supreme Court Declares Part of
the 0leO Laws Unconstitutional.

The supreme court of the United
States recently decided the prohibit
tory oleomargarine laws Of Pennsyl.
vania and other states TO be uncon-
stitutional and void so far as they
affect interstate commerce. The de-
eision rendered only applies to the sale
of oleomargarine brought into Penn
sylyania from other states as a matter
of interstate commerce, and does not
apply to the prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of the article within
this state. The state would seem tc
have the right of prohibition as to the
manufacture and sale Of product
within its own limits. Whatever re-
lief the decision gives as TO these out
rageous and nonsensical oleomar-
garine laws will be welcomed by the
people. The laws have been a scan
dial and source of corruption in theiI
administration, have brought the law
making into contempt and have beer
dead letters as to their enforcement.

Dayton gets Tucker County almost
nnanimously-the same influences
ut work that Carried Preston.

A primary has been held in another
county of this district and the result
shows that Dayton will get the nom
ination without particle of trouble
The office holders and the organiza-
tons are for him and they will nom
mate him. Tucker county follows
Preston in showing this fact. He
gets all the delegates from Tucker
county except one. He did not
claim more than half of them before
the primary Whether the influence
of the class which has nominated
him will be able to elect him is one
on which the very best of republican
authorities differ widely.

The long and perilous journey of
the Oregon has set Il good many
Americans to thinking of the advan
tage of connecting the Atlantic with
the Pacific by IN ans of canal.
Thousands of miles could be saved
and it is possible that such a desid-
eratum may outweigh traditional OBJ
iections--it we had canal across
the Isthmus Of Panama or at some
other point in that region. / he Mic
aragua Canal enterprise, If properly
projected and pr secuted, might
answer the purpose. At any rate,
the Oregon's experience will cause
many people who have heretofore
stoutly opposed that scheme to
look more favorably upon it under
new conditions Of control and man
agement.

MIR. Bryan,s Critics.


When the manhood of the nation
responded with patriotic feryor TO the
call TO arms, Mr.. Bryan's self-con-
stituted critics rang the cry all over
the land: Where is Bryan?H Then
when they learned that he was willing
to serve his country In any capacity
to which he might be assigned, Of
fering to enlist as a private and march
to the front, they denounced this as a
palpable exhibition of demagogy, de-
claring that no man OF his standing
needed to prove his Loyalty and pat
riotisn in that way. Now that Mr..
Bryan is raising a regiment at his
home in Nebraska and expects to 60
out as its Colonel, his detractors are
making merry over the incident and
heaping much ridlcule upon him.
All Of which goes to show that Mr..
Bryan cannot hope to please his fool
critics. When he did not proclaim
in hot haste, eagerness to shoulder a
gun and march to Cuba alone, they
said he was coward When he en-
listed as private in company COM
posed of his neighbors, they said he
was demagogue. Now that he is
raising a regiment, they say he is
self-seekiDg politician, and are al
ready revilng his command with the
epithets of the'' Silver Legion" Will
lies Wonders" and other similar
titles OF detraction.
1t can be safely predicted, without
any attempt to defend Mr.. Bryan
from the silly attacks Of his detract-
ors, that if he goes into the war he
will display the same qualities OF
heart and mind that have endeared
him to millions of his countrymen.
He has youth, personal magnetism,
ambition, courage, good sense and
a natural power Of command attested
by an experience that falls TO the lot
of few Americans.
