yesterday by the Democratic state
convention. George W. Guthrie, Of
Pittsburg, was the unanimous choice
Of the convention for lieutenant gov
ernor. James Nolan, of Reading, was
nominated by acclamation for secre-
tary Of internal affairs. The platform
makes no reference to national ques-
tions, which indicates that the cam
paign will be made strictly on state
issues. Pattison was first nominated
at Harrisburg in 1882. He was nomi-
mated again at Scranton in 1890. Both
times he was elected. His most for
midable rival in yesterdays conven-
tion was ex-Congressman James Kerr,
Of Clearfield. who was chairman of
the Democratic state committee IN
Pattison's second campaign. Pattison
appeared before the convention and
made a brief speech OF acceptance.
The vote for governor was: Patti
son, 22315; Kerr, 521k; Guthrie, 80;
Woodward, A.
The convention was held in the Park
Opera House. 1t was called to order
by State Chairman Greasy. A. ID. Os-
borne, of Erie, was elected temporary
chairman. Robert E. Wright, Of Al
lentown, was elected permanent chair
man by acclamation.
The real contest in the convention
was on the question Of the represen-
tation from Philadelphia. Sixty dele
gates were elected. but State Chair
man Greasy ruled that the county was
entitled to only 20. The chairman's
ruling was sustained by the creden-
tials committee and also by the con-
vention. During the debate on this
question the spectators in the CALLER
ies interrupted John M. Garman, of
Luzerne, with Kisses and jeers. The
police were called in by the sergeant
alarms to restore order.
Mr.. Garman said that Philadelphia
ought not to have more than % dele
gates in the convention, and that 1t
was a question whether or not the
Democrats Of that county should not
be kicked out of a Democratic conven-
ton. If they want a large representa-
ton in the convention. let them vote
the straight Democratic ticket, and not
a hybrid Republican ticket.
Ex-Judge James Gay Gordon, OF
Philadelphia, said Philadelphia should
be accorded a representation of 60 del
egates. He said that at the last cleo
tion in Philadelphia county 100000
votes were cast for the Democratic
state candidates, Coray and Yerkes
This was the largest Democratic vote
ever cast in Philadelphia for any
Democratic candidate for any office
since Philadelphia has been in exist
ence. In 1890 the Philadelphia Demo
Gratis polled 61,O0O votes for Bryan
and on that vote they would be entitled
to 60 delegates. They do not claim
representation on the vote cast for tn,
Democratic state nominees last No
vember They were willing to conced,
that the vote for Bryan was a fail
and reasonable representation. Mr.
Gordon warned the convention that ;
Democratic governor could not bl
elected this year without the full vot'
rast for the Democratic state ticke
last November and the Independent
vote Of Philadelphia and Alleghen.
counties.
This closed the discussion, and thl
majority report OF the committee wa
adopted by a vote of 220 to "a.
With the exception of three, all tn
Philadelphia delegates voted for Ker
and left the hall after Pattison'
nomination.

COLONEL BRYAN
concluded from Page e.I


sitting about the body with clubs fear
ing resuscitation, would indicate they
may be in dread that they are mis-
taken.
The great surplus reported by Secrc-
tary Gage when he resigned the treas
ury portofolio was something, Mr..
Bryan declared, the Republicans did
not foresee and were In no wise re-
sponsible for. An unexpected output OF
gold and the wars all over the world.
he said. accounts for the surplus He
roundly denounced the propositions of
asset currency, branch banks and re-
deemabe silver dollars, which the con-
gress is considering as means of re-
ducing the surplus. The first, he said.
means more favoritism to the banks
and less security to the depositor. The
second means a bank monopoly The
third he likened to a top of credit spin
ming on a point of gold And yet they
say the money question is dead, the
speaker remarked.
THE TRUST QUESTION.
After dealing at length with the trust
question along the familiar lines of his
campaign speeches, he took up the sub
ject of expansion.
Expansion, he said, is IL deceptive
term. Expansion means an extension
without changing the form of govern
ment. Imperialism was where a coun-
try expanded, but with q change of
government.
The Downs case decision, that the
constitution does not follow the flag.
was characterized as being infinitely
worse than the Dred-Scott decision. 1t
means, said he. that an American presi-
dent and American congress can deal
with the Porto RicanS as George III
dealt with us 1876 years ago. 1t means
we can tax without representation. 1t
means that we can cast government
over another people as you would cast
a net over a bird, and If they would
not accept the government. shoot them
until they acquiesce, or at least cease
protesting.
When an expansionist deals with the
Philippines question he will defend his
position on three grounds, first, that
there's money in it; second, that Gods
in it, and third, that we're in it and
can't get out of it.
Every expansionist speech ever heard
could be boiled down into this Sorry
we got in; looks Providential; how
much is there in it?"
Referring to the failure of the Unit
ed States to extend or express SYM
pathy with the Beers, as it had to
every other nation struggling for lib
erty," Mr.. Bryan explained that the
| reason we do not sympathize with the
Beers is that it would cause England
to extend sympathy to the Filipinos
This and other references to the Beers
were provocative of the most enthusi-
astic cheering of the evening.

BRYAN INTERVIEWED.

A Tribune reporter had an interview
with Mr.. Bryan at the Linden last
evening. He was questioned regarding
his editorial in the current issue of the
Commoner, in which he declares David
b. Hill an impossibility as Demo-
cratic presidential candidate. and
asked to state whom he regarded as
a possibility Mr.. Bryan was SEEM
ingly not over anxious to answer a
direct not to say delicate, question Of
this kind, but after several evasions
agreed that he might be quoted as fol-
lows:
mo one can tell so far in advance
of a campaign what the issues will be
or what will be their relative import
ance, 1t ought, however, to be safe to
predict that Democratic principles will
be applied to the issues, and might
add the platform ought to be written
by those whose fidelity to those princi-
pies is not subject to suspicious"
Mr.. Bryan spoke of his lecture tour
of Pennsylvania, this being his ninth
lecture in the state, and expressed him
self as highly gratified with the size OF
his audiences. He also expressed pleas
ure at being in Scranton and i'm the
company of his old schoolmate. There
