PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.

HARRISBURG, Pa. May 27.-As com.
pared with the stirring times Of last
June. when Senator Quay made Judge
Pennypacker the candidate for gov
ernor over ex-Attorney General John
p. Elkin. the Republican state con
vention in session here today may be
called an exceedingly tame affair.
The Quayites are in absolute control
and the work of the convention is to
formally name the state ticket pre-
viously agreed upon by Senator Quay
and his political friends. This ticket
is as follows:
For State Treasurer. w. l.. Ma
thues. OF Delaware county.
For Auditor General, w. p. Sny-
der of Chester county.
For Judges of the Supreme court.
John j. Henderson. of Crawford coun-
ty. and Thomas A. Morris, of Nc
Kean county.
The convention was called to or
der shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing in the opera house, which was
decorated for the occasion with flags
and bunting. The 1853 delegates occu-
pied the main floor of the theatre,
while in the galleries were seated
many prominent politicians from var
ious parts of the state. Senator Quay
and the other party leaders who occu-
pied seats on the stage were enthui-
astically greeted by the assemblage.
The opening address of the chairman
and the roll call by Secretary w. b.
Andrews of the state committee were
followed by the appointment of the
usual committees on credentials,
resolutions, etc After these formali-
ties has been disposed of the conven-
tion temporarily adjourned to give
the committees time to prepare their
reports. The resolutions will deal
almost entirely with state affairs.
