The ticket nominated might have been
strengthened in one or two particular in
stances, but the Republican leaders seem as
sured that il is a winner in November. Our
Democratic friends profess to be pleased with
the result, but they may sing a far different
song when the voters Of Schuylkill county
record their verdict next fall. In the
control Of the convention the Quay and anti
Quay lines were entirely obliterated. This is
shown by the nomination of Henning,
Jenkyn and Ksntner. The Brumm--White-
house coherts favored the former, but, strongly
opposed the two latter candidates who were
both nominated by handsome majorities,
whilo the Judgeship was very close. Had
the factional lines been closely drawn the
ticket would have been materially changed.
Daniel Duffy carried of the honors of the
day in the oratorical display. His speech in
nominating Breckons was forciful and elo-
quent, and his argument was convincing.
| Unfortunately for his cause the delegates had
apparently made up their minds and no
amount of eloquence or argument could
change them. Hon. Charles N. Brumm made
one of his characteristic speeches in present
! ing Henning's name, but the general opinion
is that Duffy carried off the honors.
The Dutch surely carried Holland yester-
day, eight of the ten nominees being claimed
for their nationality. The Welsh seeured one
representative, aud Johnny Bull ditto. The
the critics Mahanoy City aud Tamaqua being
entirely ignored in the distribution of favors.
South of the mountain secured seven OF the
offices, giving your section but three.
The greatest excitement of the convention
was noted in the Judicial and PrOthonotary
contests. The latter caused more feeling be-
cause of the closeness of the vote. All
through the roll call the candidates, McEl
benny and Leib, ran neck and neck. Those
who had kept tally figured Leib one vote
