DEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
Sent Letter of Withdrawal at the
Last Moment-Quay Faction Won
By a Close Majority-Platform
Endorses Mckinley and Other Re

Harrisburg, Pa. June 2.-The Re
publican state convention met in this
city today and named the party ticket
that is to be submitted to the voters
this fall, as follows: -
aforementioned William A Stone
Allegheny.
Lieutenant Governor-General ]. P
S. Goblin, Lebanon.
Secretary of Internal Affairs-General
James W. Latta of Philadelphia.
Judge of the Supreme Court-William
/ w. Porter of Philadelphia.
| congressman t-large - GaluSha A
| Grow of SuSquehanna and Samuel A.
Davenport of Erie. The last five are
denominations.
There was scarcely any opposition to
the programme for the work of the
convention, as outlined by Senator
Quay and his lieutenants. those OPP
posed to the nomination of Mr.. Stone
for the head of the ticket contenting
themselves with the concentration of
their vote on Charles w. Stone. The
vote was uncomfortably close for the
Quay adherents, Colonel Stone only
receiving 10 more votes than the num-
Der necessary to a choice.
The 653 votes cast for c. w. Stone
represented the combined strength of
that candidate and John Wanamaker
The latter provided the only sensation
of an otherwise cut and dried con-
vention, by presenting a letter of with
drawal. in which he denounced the
methods of the dominant Republican
faction and urged his friends to sup
port Stone. Mr.. Wanamaker's retire
ment from the contest came as a
startling surprise to his delegates, and
II is understood the determination
upon that course was made by him
only short time before his letter was
read to the convention.
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. He has repeatedly in his
speeches served notice on the conven-
ton that if W. A. Stone was nomi-
mated he would continue his fight
against the Quay organization.
The convention adjourned without
giving the nominees a chance of ex-
pressing themselves.
