PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-Forme
Governor Robert E. Pattison died a
CPS o'clock this morning at his hom'
here. Although pneumonia was thu
immediate cause of death. Mr.. Patti
son was Indirectly a victim Of over
work in connection with the recen
Democratic National convention.
He returned here with broken health
/ and shattered nerves. He is said tc
have done the work of at least five
men as member of the special sub
committee that drafted the platform
1t is known that for 10 hours, without
sleep and with only a mengre lun-
cheon, he sat up all night and the best
part of the following day working on
the platform.
stature and of powerful physique.
There is no doubt that had his SYSTEM
not been run down SO seriously, pneu-
monia would not have secured fatal
hold upon him.
Robert Emery Pattison was born at
Quantico, Somers county, Maryland
December S, 1850. He was the son of
a Methodist clergyman. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar in
1872. Pattison gained place in the
public eye early in life. On reform
wave he was twice chosen controller
of Philadelphia. The prestige gained
by a vigorous administration of that
Office made him the nominee of his
party for governor in 1882. His cleo
ton over Beaver was one of the politi-
cal sensations of that period.
Eight years later he was pitted
against Delamater and for the second
time Democrat carried the greatest
Republican State in the Union Later
Pattison's political star waned, and
he was defeated for mayor of Phila-
de1phia and later as the candidate for
governor against Samuel w. Penny
packer.
Even in the latter contest, Patti
son polled a surprisingly large vote in
the country districts. Several times
the tempting bait of Presidential
dawned for Mr.. Pattison.
The most notable instance was the
last time Grover Cleveland was nomi
mated. when Tammany Hall, in an eff.
fort to turn Pennsylyania's delegates
from Cleveland. which would have pre-
vented the. nomination, offered to turn
in for Pattison. Deceased was con-
nected with various Philadelphia
financial institutions and conducted |
his legal practice to the end.

vel. They are like boys out for a
holiday and are the happiest, jollies,
ones in all the vast crowd.
Northern Montana is here with its
rich "cowmen" and it's opulent sheep
owners, and delegates representing a
constituency that chops in the for
ests of Missoula county or delves in
the mines of Granite are getting ac-
quainted with them. Though their in
terests are diversified and their pur-
suits various, all meet as representa-
tives Of the great political organiza.
ton dedicated to the wellfore of all.
Caring for All.
The people of Billings are showing
their appreciation of the honor accord
ed them. The city is gaily decorated
with bunting and flags that flaunt their
bright colors in the glorious rays of
September sun. BY night countless
electric lights strung along the prin-
cipal streets and avenues make those
thoroughfares as brilliant as day.
Ample accommodations have been
provided for everybody and every one
is well cared for. Those who could
rot be provided with rooms at the
different hotels have been quartered
in improvised sleeping apartments
about the city. Whatever fears may
have been entertained concerning the
city's ability to care for the strangers
have happily proved groundless. All
have been provided with the comforts
and all express themselves as pleased
and content.
Those who arrived late last night or
early this morning had not been for
gotten, as they learned upon their ar
rival. Quarters had been reserved for
them and they melted away to later
become units of the throngs that are
filling the downtown parts.
EARLY this morning the two bands
were out again and held forth at diff
ferent places to the intense pleasure
and joy of the audiences that gathered
to hear them Many concerts were
given by them during the forenoon
and they kept the crowds in good hui
NOR with their music.
Until late last night little groups of
men could be seen in retired corners
and places discussing the events of the
morrow and laying plans and prepar-
ing wires to be pulled. Caucuses, i'm
promptu and some that were not were
held. Candidates were not neglecting

crowds on the streets, it was only
when the big Butte delegation arrived
in it's special train that full sense
was given of the fact that the eve Of
the republican state convention was al

filed from the cars to the music of
the Montana State band, which splen-

echoes with its harmonious strains/
The members OF the receptions Conf
mittee were on hand to receive both
delegations and escort them to their
headquarters. While the delegates
were being cared for the bands alter
mated in discoursing music and an
open air concert such as is seldom
heard anywhere caused the assembled
sicians. Down Montana avenue the
Butte band marched and thence up
Twenty-seventh street to the Grand
hotel, where Butte headquarters had
been established The Red Lodge

who never tire of talking about the
beauties of the valleys through which
they came to reach the Migic City.
For the first time in years many OF
them are seeing fruit trees bearing
their luscious burdens and feasting
their eyes on grass and flowers. The
stories they hear of the wonderful pro-
