marching hosts. with banners flying
and all bedecked with badges indicat-
ing their respective favorites.
The Elkinites are pretty generally To-
Gated about the Hotel Lochiel, while

and especially the Philadelphia delega-
tions, are at the commonwealth.

ternoon to make up the temporary roll
and tonight the platform makers will
have q conference to complete their la
bors preparatory to submitting a draft
Of the platform to the committee on
resolutions in the morning.

OF opinion on the governorship are a
unit in their purpose to make the
Pennsylvania platform typical Of the
state. and the Importance Of the party
organization the greatest In the coun-
try. and the most influential In the
national Republican party.

will not be forgotten. A plank has
been prepared which, If adopted by the
convention, will fittingly express the
sense Of sorrow and regret of the citi-
zens Of Pennsylvania over the loss of
President Mckinley, who was so dear
to the hearts Of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania.
There are a dozen or more subjects
which have been proposed for reference
in the platform, but it will not be until
after the leaders get together and care
fully go over the whole subject that
an accurate forecast can be given.
1t is believed that the convention
will be harmonious. Up to date the
best OF good feeling has prevailed and
there Is no good reason why the work
OF the convention should not pass of
quietly and with the outcome assuring
the triumphant election of the entire
Republican ticket.
