‘Republican County Convention.
“Is pus one in mind of school boys,"
was the comment made hy a prominent
Republican after the adjournment of the
Republican county convention, on Tuesday;
and really, he was not far wrong. The
whole proceeding, throughout, made one
long for the convention days gone hy when
Hastings, Reeder, Dale, Gray, Hamilton,
Steele Crissman, Eli Townsend and such
like were at the helm and one conld always
feel assured of at least an interesting ' time,
however hopeless their cause. Bat Tues-
day the entire reginie was new. Ex-J nudge
Jobn G.Love presided over the eonvention,
the first time in many years,and in his zeal
to shove the treasurership nomination down
Penns-valley he even forgos his parliament.
ary tactics with the resuls that he failed in
the only one thing be tried to accomplish.
Bus then ‘the Judge is new as the busi-
ness and was not properly backed up by
bis prompters, Sammy B. Miller and George
Wellington Rees.
The convention started off slow, as it was
just 11:08 o'clock when county chairman
Phil D. Foster rapped for order and had
the call for the convention read by Secreta-
ry Rees... The roll call showed 134 dele-
gates out of a total of 135 presens, bus the
absent one sent bis instructions and these
were voted in his absence,
Charles F. Cook nominated J audge Love
for permanent chairman of she convention
and he was elected by acclamation. On
ascending the rostrum a few of the delegates
tried to ges up an‘‘applaunse” for him but is
wouldn’s work. The ex judge was most
profuse in his thanks so the convention for
tbe honor conferred upon him and in his
grateful little speech announced thas *‘Re.
pablicans do still exist,” a fact he muss
have bad some doubts about before.
"The convention was fully organized by
the selection of 8. M. Miller, of Philips-.
barg, and Charles F. Cook, of Bellefonte,
a3 secretaries and G. W. Rees, as reading
olerk. On motion of T. M. Gramley the
ohair appointed the following committee
oa resolutions: T. M. Gramley, Dr. R. G.
Alison, C. D. Motz, John P. Eves, A. C.
Bowes, H. C. Woodring and H. S. Stewart.
‘Mr. Noah H. Swayne II, presented a res-
olution outlining the order of business to
be followed, which was adopted.
The chair then announced the conven-
tion open for the nomination of candidates’
for the various offices. S. M. Miller, of
Philipsbarg, nominated Henry Kline, of
Spring township, for sheriff. There being
no other. nominee Kline’s nomination waa
made by acolamation.
L. E. Swartz, of Walker township; Isaac
Underwood, of Bellefonte, and H. M. Alli
son, of Spring Mills, were the candidates
presented for the nomination for treasurer,
and it required four ballots to make a
‘choice. After the second ballot Uunder-
wood, who was the lowest man, was drop-
ped and a third ballots taken, bag before the
result could be announced H. C. Quigley,
who was uot even a member of the conven-
sion but who very likely was building on
his prerogative as prospective county chair-
man, strode rapidly forward and challenged
the vote, declaring that under the prevail-
gates from the North ward of Bellefonte
and several other precincts, who had been
Underwood delegates for first choice, were
instrncted for Swartz for second choice, bus
that they had voted for Allison. This was
a contretemps neither chairman Love nor
the Allison people had even contemplated
and they were literally sweps off their feet
by Quigley’s onslaught who, by the way,
had no parliamentary 1ight on the floor at
all.
ed and he splattered and hesitated, utterly
confused as to how to rule or what to do
and taking advantage of his helpless condi-
tion Quigley virtnally whipped ’em all in-
$o line and Love said to count the chal.
lenged votes for Swartz, and ordered a
fourth ballot. When it came to voting
James Harris and Aleck Morrison refused
$o be coerced and refused to vote, bus it
made no difference as Swartz was nomi-
nated by five of a majority. © The four bal-
lots stood as follows:
. 2nd. 3rd. 4th.

Swarts...
Allison....... as 5 70 63
Underwood 34 34 ~ i
Four candidates were named for county
commissioners, viz: A. V. Miller, J. G.
Bailey, H.E. Zimmerman and Jacob Wood-
ring. Is required but one ballot to nomi-
nate Miller and Bailey, the vote being as
follows:
Miller, 72
Bailey........ 97
Zimmerman Sisaskarniiey 57
Woodring. ie 46
For recorder Cyrus T. Hall and H. H.
Hewitt, both of Philipsburg, were nomi-
nated. The contest between the two men
was quite spirited bot Hall won by the
following vote:
Hallion dosti. itoat. 71
BEWIL.....coccocerirrrecvirsertoninrn scr rrr s 64
By this time it was almost 1 o'clock
and the convention started in to do busi-
ness witha rush. E. C. Taten, for regis-
ter; Dr. S. M. Huff, for coroner, and H-
B. Pontius and R. D. Musser, for auditors,
had no opposition and they were all nomi-
nated by acclamation.
Henry C. Quigley bad likewise no oppo-
sition for county chairman and was elected
by acolamation. When the announcement
was made for the nominations for delegates
to the State convention some one nominat-
ed Harry Keller, of Bellefonte, whereas
Sammy Baddinger made a motion that the
nominations close but he was informed he
was a little previous and George M. Boal
and William C. Hurley were also put in
nomination, the three being elected hy ac-
olamation.
The nominations all being made Mr.
Noab H. Swayne II, submisted an amend-
ment to the party rules and regulations,
which had for its ohjeos the doing away
with the second choice instruction clause
in section 12, of the rules. The amend-
ment was almost unanimously adopted,
after which the committee on resolutions
made its report and the convention ad-
journed.
Committee Wants Correct Names of Cen-
tre County Soldiers.
. .In order to secure absolute accuracy in
the names and spelling thereof on our sol-
diers’ monument, we will publish from
time to time the lists of certain companies
80 as to enable those who are interested to
suggest changes in initials or spelling, and
also to suggest the names of any persons
who may bave been omitted from the rolls.
This is the last opportunity which will be
given to our people and to the survivors or
friends of deceased soldiers who served from
Centre county to have these names correct-
ed. The Committee, therefure, appeals
very earnestly to all who are interested in
the stbject to carefully scan all the names
to ascertain
© 1st, whether any have been omitted; and
* 2nd, whether the names of those already
contained in the rolls are properly spelled.
It is also very important that the names
of soldiers who enlisted in organizations
outside of the county or state should be se-
cared, in order’ that they may find their
place. among the nation’s defenders upon
the monument. This is perhaps the most
important thing which the Committee has
in cbarge, the organizations from our own
county being already well known. If,
therefore, any person, in or out of the
county, has knowledge of a citizen of Cen-
tre conuy who enlisted in organizations
outside of the county and state, it is spec-
cially important that their names shonld
be ascertained, so that they may find a
‘place among those who enlisted at home.
Any communication in regard to these
names addressed to Gen. John I. Curtin cr
William H. Musser, Bellefoute, will recvive
prompt attention.

THAT BELLEFONTE HOSPITAL BENEFIT
MusiCALE.—The additional talent which
bas been veoured for the musicale to be
given in the court house, next Tuesday
evening, for the benefit of the Bellefonte
hospital, promises to make this an enter-
tainment par excellence of anything of the
kind ever heard in Bellefonte ; and on be-
half of the ladies’ auxiliary we wish so
thank shore who have so kindly volunteered
their services. Miss Knowles has a rich
contralto voice and her artistio singing bas
won her pronounced success as a superior
vooalis, both at home and abroad. Dr.
Lee B. Woodcock, of Scranton, bardly needs
an introduction to a Bellefonte audience:
They fully appreciate the privilege of
again hearing his voice.
talented former townsmen who will add so
the attractions of the occasion ie Mr. George
Nevin Brandon,pianist. Noah H. Swayne
II, whose fine voice has won him such notori-
ety since his residence in Bellefonte, is also
down on the program for one or more num-
hers. The ahove-mentioned would be quite
sufficient to make the musicale delightful,
bus in addition the services of two well-
known artists of Philadelphia bave been
secured in Miss Helen Frame, one of the
leading sopranos of the Quaker city, and
Mies Edna Turner Bradfield, a young vio-
liniss. The latter has studied from her
ohildhood with Gustav Hille, a master of
violin technique who says he has only one
pupil more talented than she. Miss Rebecoa
Pagh Lyon, whose ability is so widely
known, will be one of the accompanists.
It is indeed most unnsnal to have pre-
sented for one entertainment a musicale so
fall of variety and artistio merit, and it is
hoped all will avail themselves of an op-
portunity so rare.
