The Hood of Vetoes. Gov. Pattison has out-Butlered old Ben Butler in the flood of his vetoes, lie left the usual path and made himself the judge of the people's conveniences and necessities, and even pretended to assert their views touching bills admitted to be con stitutional. Thus he vetoed the bill to allow the establishment of safe deposit banks, and stopped the contemplated establishment of one at Chester. He also vetoed the bill allowing assessors S2 instead of SI per day for time actually employed, and thus pushes out of this kind of employment the leet men. The bulk of Pattison's vetoes were not signed until after the Legislature had adjourned, so that the powers of that body were plainly usurped in some instances, where he feared the bills would be passed over his vetoes.

To-day's convention was one of the most hnr monious and satisfactory in all re spects that has ever been held. Its sessions were characterized with de corum that is often wanting in bod ies of that kind. There was not tbe slightest suspicion of unfairness in any quarter, the candidates had equal opportunities to win and the result is the nomination after a hard fought battle of an exceptionally strong and able ticket William Livsey, of Allegheny, for State Treas urer and Jerome B. Niles, of Tioga, for Auditor General. The day's proceedings are given in full below. TnE BALLOTING LIVSEY AND NILES WIN. Harkisbckg, Pa.. July 11. The delegates epent thia morning pretty much as yesterday was spent, in talking over the situation and try ing to figure out tlie result, but everything was still in delightful uncertainty, and the candidates and their men had every incentive to work. Many of the delegates stroll- ed into the Capitol Park and dele-1 gates formed nine-tenths of the crowd that filled the lobbies at the short sessions of the Senate and the House. At half past eleven the front doors of the Opera House were thrown open and the influx of delegates began. It was but a few minutes until the lower part of the house and t the stage and gallery were comtort- j aOly filled. Chairman Cooper mov- j ed around on the stage cheerful as j ever. Reformer Lowry sat on the stage in the care of Mr. Colborne, of Somerset The veteran Chief Clerk Harry Huhn was there, too, to keep tally. A number of Democrats also found their way on the stage and appeared to be greatly interested in the proceedings. Senator Davits, of . .! .f rii f!

The Allegheny delegation marched m just before noon, headed by Judge Fetterman, and scattered about the hall. Gen. Negiey took a seat well up to the front. R. C.
