NOMINATE A JUDGE.
Ksystoae state Democrats Break Their
Deadlock.

Harrisburg, Pa. June 15.--Ths contest
before the Democratic state convention
for supreme judge ended this evening
with the unanimous nomination Of
Judge s L. Mestrezat Of Fayette county
ON the esth ballot. Charles ]. Reilly OF
williamsport, permanent chairman Of the
convention, was nominated by acclama-
tion for judge Of the superior court. and
Representative William 7. Crsasy Of
Columbia was the unanimous choice for
state tsasurer. After making these nomi-
nations, the convention ad,ournsd.
The various candidates for supreme
court judge maintained their strength
almost TO the finish. York county started
the break to Msstrezat ON the 26th ballot
oy casting Its IS votes for him. Congress-
man Ermentrout withdrew the 19 votes
Of Berks cast for Judge Ermsntlout and
OF philadelphia gave the 90 votes of Phil
auelphin to Mestrezat Centre county
changed from Krebs to MsstrezRt. Ex-
congressman Kerr, who managed Krebs's
contest, withdrew his candidate In favor
or Mestrezat. This insured the latter's
nomination and there was a Wild scene
OF enthusiasm. Col. Frank J. Fitzsim-
mons OF Lackawana who managed Judge
Smiths campaign, moved to make the
nomination of Judge Mestresat unsni-
nous. which was done amid great enthu-
stasm. The nomination for supreme
judge Is equivalent to an election as two
ale 80 be elected In November and no
elector is entitled to vote for more than
one. 1t Is expected that Gov. Stone viii
appoint Judge Mestrezat to the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge williams as
soon as his nomination Is certified to the
state department. This will create va
cancy on the bench In Fayettescounty and
give the governor a common pleas judge

ID q who, he said. took the principal
p In the affair. The Comte in reply
/ g, affirmed he was not Royalist, but
u Republican, adding that, however, he
desired "another kind Of q republic. He
added he had no idea OF going 70 Autuel
with the object Of engaging in demon
stration but claimed he had the privilege.
like any other French citizen Of cheering
for the army.
The Comte de Dion also said that not
being deputy his only chance to speak
WAS in public places and he wished to
prove to President Loubet that all the
world hated him.
The other defendants denied the charges
made against them, saying they merely
oheered for the army and were thrown to
the ground, pounded outrageously and
other wise mistreated.
Witnesses then testified that police d.
rector Touny was unable to identify his
sssailant and that the police were unable
