TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS.
The Outlook is For a Harmonious
 Convention.

Nashville, Tenn. June 17.-Republicans of Tennessee will assemble in State con- vention here tomorrow. Already many or the leaders are on the scene with open headquarters, and the convention prom ises osbe well attended and harmonious throughout. all factional feeling seeming to have been left at home. Only one name is mentioned in the Gubernatorial race, that of Judge P. T. Campbell of Greene County.
 The candidate for Railroad Commis- sioner will be selected from Middle Ten nessee, but as yet he has not been de- cided on.
 There is a sentiment opposing the nom ination of a complete judiciary circuit, especially for the Court of Chancery Ap- peals.
 The names of those being discussed arc E. T. Sanford of Knoxville, Lewis Shep- ard of Chattanooga, G. N. Tillman of Nashville Ernest Caldwell of Shelbyville, George Randolph of Memphis, George T. Mccall of Huntington and John R. Walk CT of Trenton. The State Republican Ex- ecutive Committee met this morning and selected the temporary officers of the convention. Hon. Lee Brock, Assistant District Attorney of Nashville, was unau- imously. chosen temporary chairman. The secretaries will be A. D. Hubbard of Memphis and J. Thomas Turner of this city. Hon. Walter P. Brownlow. rep resenting the First Tennesse Congression- al District, will be permanent chairman of the convention. The platform will en- dorse the administration of both McKih- ley and Roosevelt, and commend their course in the Philippines, in Cuba and Porto Rico. The attack on the army will be vigorously repelled. The Presidents 8 course as to trusts will be approved and a declaration made in favor of enacting stronger antitrust laws if necessary. The Philadelphia platform will be reaffirmed.
 In State matters the election laws will be discussed more temperately than here tofore, with demand for representation at the ballot box of the choosing of the minority party. with a demand for the application of the Dortch law to Demo- cratic as well as Republican strongholds The repeal of the uniform text book law will be demanded. The retirement of State bonds under the funding act will receive faint praise and the credit given, not to the State administra ton, but to the peo- pie whose taxes have been increased and assessments raised. It will henounce the increase in public expenses and declare for retrenchment, economy and reform.
 It will declare for an equitable distri- button pro rata among the children of the State of the school fund collected un- der the State law. 1t will declare for To- cal option though the Anti-SaloonLeague is endeavoring to avoid platform utter ances on the temperance question.

DEMANDED GIRLS DISCHARGE.
Lace Manufacturing Company Com
 pelled to Close by Miners.

RSAAVu SO SAtEt by NAhASAos
 Wilkesbarre. Pa. June 17-Because of the general manager would not discharge five girls whose relatives are still at work in the mines. the wilkesbarre Lace Manufacturing company. the largest in the United States, was compelled to shut down today.
 Some 1000 persons are affected.
 The shutting down of the lace mill was the only important development in the Wyoming region today.
 There is a persistent rumor afioat that non-union men will be brought into the coal fields to mine coal This cannot be done because practically all the anthra- cite miners in the country are located in this region and all are on a strike. New men cannot take their places because under the laws of Pennsylvania no man can be employed as miner without hav- ing first obtained q certificate showing that he has had two years experience at anthracite mining.
 The only way the companies can start their collieries Is by a break in the ranks of the strikers. At present there Is no indication of a break.
