The convention of Republican clubs ban
en Thursday was the most disorderly sg sg sg
rogatien et fiva hundred man and youths
tbat ever collected la ibla town. Little
business was before It and little business
waa transacted, but tha saeaea la Faltea

the pwUclptnte. the yelling and bellow

ly ever motions and resolutions created a
vcrltsble pandomenlum. Belew will be
found a report of the proceedings.
TUK'AFTBKNOON SESSION.
As tnlRbt have been expeetad from tha
cumbersome committees provided for at
the mernlrg session, the convention waa
net only alew In erganising, hut even after
erganising was very slew in announcing
the several standing committees. The
oemmltte son permanent organisatien, en
resolutions, en credentials and en represen
tation In the National League, each constat censtat
ing tf twenty-nine members, were finally
announced, and retired for oensulla'lon.
The committee en credentials was the
first te report They reported that there
were no centcats and that all who elalmed
seats were entitled te them. The report
was adopted.
When the committee en representation In
the National League waa announced, CeL
A. Wilsen Nerrls raised the point of order
that It could net be legally appointed until
the convention was permanently erganised.
After a wrangle, In which half a dczen
orators were yelllng at thessme time, some
enessld "cll another eae," whleh raised a
laugh and the mitter was dropped.
While walling for the ether committees
te report Senster DeUmster, of Crawford,
was called upon te address the convention.
He made a short speeeb, In whleh be gave
his views en club organisatien.. He boldly
declared that be was opposed te any public
officeholder being made an officer of the
club. He ssld be knew be was treading en
somebody's teos, but be believed the duty,
would de better by keeping the office
holders In tbe ranks as high privates.
The committee en the formation et an
executive committee, reported in favor of
giving eaeb sensterlal district one member
of said committee, and that when any
senatorial district is composed of mere than
one county, then each county in the district
shall have one member.
The committee en permhnent organiza
tion reported A. O. Robertsen, of Alle
gheny, for permanent president ; one vlee
president from each congressional dlatrlet ;
and the following secretaries: Charles K.
Voetbees, Dauphin ; E. D. Sinltb, Ssbnyl.
kill, Herace G. Miller, Jehn H. Lied Is,
Edgsr L King. The repert was adopted
unanimously.
The ssme commlttee reported In favor of
the selection et Edwin H. Stuart, of Pblla
delpblSpUS president, Win. Thornten, of
P nlladelphl,.tteasnrer, anil H. Xewnsend
Fair lain b, of West Chester, as secretary of
the atste branch et the National League new
being organized. The repert waa received
with a whirlwind et applause and adopted
with a yell.
President Robertsen en taking the chair
made a abeit Bpeech en the advantages that
organization possesses as against In
dividual ctlert. The one la powerful; the
ether weak. Ba knew et no better farm
of organlzttlen than tbe present club form.
Mr, Robertsen next branched out Inte the
glorious record of the Republlem party;
rehashed tbe aame old song of protecting
everybody, and wound up by showing te
bis own satisfaction that the Democratic
party was a mere party et wind, that It
bad no principle, end waa insincere
In everything 11 pro'essed te believe.
A committee of one from oaeh senatorial
district was chosen te select un executive
commlttee.
Gen, Gebln, chairman of tbe commlttee
en resolutions, reported the following :
Jtetelvcd, Tliet the able and complete
presentation of tbe principles of the Re
publican party as unaulmeunly adopted by
tbe state couventien at Harrltburg en
April 25, receives our unqualified endorse
ment ; tbat Je their Bueceas and theleo thelee theleo
tlen et the candidates of tbe party we
-hereby pledge our united and earnest sup
port : that we earnestly recommend tbat
tbe Republican cluha by all honorable
means aid tbe Fevnral city, county and
state oemuolttee? in all party work.
OOBIN AND aiLKYSON EXCITED.
A motion was made te adept tbe report
of the committee, but before It con Id be put
H. H. Gllkysen, of Chester county, sprang
te bis feet and la an excited manner said
be bad presented a resolution at tbe morn
ing snslen tbat had net been acted en by
(Jan. Oebin's committee and be Insisted en
bsvlng it read. Afti r a great wrangle this
waa done. Tbe resolution Is as fellows :
" We bollevo that our immigration laws
are lax and insufficient, and that tbe rapid
Increase In the Immigration of unskilled
and pauper foreign labor Inte this country
Is te be viewed with alarm and threatens
the well-being of American institutions.
We believe that American labor should be
as fully protected from the competition et
foreign labor as tbe American manufacturer
Is te day protected from tbe competition of
foreign goods, and te tbat end our immi
gration laws ueed a thorough revision and
restriction."
The resolution was received with ap
plause, and it the question bad been put en
Its adoption it would have been adopted by
tbe convention.
General Gebln jumped te his feet and
said It would net de ler this convention te
take tbe ground tbat tbe Amerieiu laborer
la net pro'.ec ed tq rally with the American
manufacturer. 'J be Republican party has
always held tbat tbe laborer should be pro
tected, and It held new tbat he is receiving
aueb protection. This same question bad
been considered In tbe state convention,
and it bad been deemed unwise te adept II;
and it will net de for tbis convention te
erltlclse or amend tbe platform of tbe state
convention. Let It net go forth tbat tbe
Republican pirty has heretofore extended
protection te the manufacturer only, and
net te tbe laborer.
Mr. Gllkysen made a bested reply. He
ssld that In bis district there were COO Hun
garians, Italians and Poles taking the
bread out of tbemoutbsef honest Ameri
can werklngmen. TbesB men were Im
ported under tbe contract system and some
of tbem had been Imported into Gen.
Gebln'a own district
" I won't allow any man te talk about
me tbat way, or about my district," cried
Senster Gebln, his usually calm features
flushed with anger. When Mr. Gllky Gllky
eon says tbat any et my constituents bring
psuper labor tbere te starve American
labor be Bays what Is untrue."
The "boys" in tbe conientloa were
stirred into a about st this scent of bleed,
Ollkysoe, still stacdlng and facing bis op
ponent only a few paces away, yelled back,
".And when General QeOln aays tbstmy
resolution means something un-Republl-can,
when read between the lines, he says
wbat is untrue." Tbeie was another burst
of confused uproar, In the midst of which
General Gebln and Mr. Gllkysen sat down.

Thar waa evidently a great deal of tha
spirit of the old Knew Notbleglsm In tba
convention, end tbe elder hsads had great
trouble la steering clear of it Mr. Vender
slice la bis remarks declared that the
swarms of Huns aad Italians Imported

THE COLORED BROTHER TAKES A HA. WD.
Tba trouble between Gobla and Gliky Gliky
aea having been amicably adjusted and
their cflenslve werda withdrawn, Mr.
James O.Delpbey, a colored brother, threw
another brand Inte tha burning by offering
the following.
'That wa enter our most earnest and
solemn pretest against any person or per
sons, or hotel proprietor or railroad refusing
an American eltlzen equal railroad or hotel
accomedations, en account of his race or
color."
A desperate effort was made te squeleb
the colored brother, but be would net be
tquelehed. It bad been reported that GUI
hall, a colored delegate, had been refused
entertainment at tbe Stevens house. Gen.
Gebln explained that this was dena be
cause tbe house was full ; tbat he also had
been refused entertainment for tba same
reason, though be was a regular patron of
the beuse.
After ether explanations had been made,
Brether Ball exonerated the proprietor of
the Stevens house and hoped the matter
might be dropped and that the re
porters would make no note of It. But
Brether Delphey Insisted en tbe adoption of
the resolution en "general principles." He
wanted te knew whether this convention
was or was net opposed te it Te please
Brether Delpfley the convention adopted
the resolution amid reara of laughter.
A resolution offered by Mr. Bates, of
Crawford, for the election of tenr delegates
at larfte te represent the atata at Chicago,
June 23 was adopted, but the names of the
delegates were net announced.
At a meeting of the executive committee
held In tbe afternoon It was ordered tbat
eaeb club In the league pay an annual as
sessment of f 10.
Amid great confusion and npresr the
convention was declared adjourned, te
meet next year at Pittsburg, en a date te
be fixed hereafter.
It has been noted as a remarkable fact
tbat Edw. S. Stuart, the president-elect
of the League, whose election waa received
with such unbounded applause, did net
acknowledge the compliment by making
a speeeh or by even appearing upon tbe
stage.
" A ORKAT MASS MEETING. "
Tbere wss te have been a great' Ropubll Republl Ropubll
ean mass meeting In tbe Fulton opera beuse
last evening, but tbe masses failed te put in
an appearance. There were net mere than
160 persons present, slthengb tbe great ora
tors, J. C. Fester, of National League, and
Nathan Getr, of W. Vs., were announced
as speakers. On the stage were fifty or
mere chairs which were te have been occu
pied by tbe cflicerset the meeting snd ether
distinguished personages, but, alas 1 there
were nobody te fill them except a Ultle knot
of tbe reception oemmlttee who bad nobody
te receive.
Unannouneed, J.C. Fester took the fleer,
made a short speech filled with the usual
protective tariff arguments and a fe-v
chestnut anecdotes. Heclesed bis remsrks
by announcing tbat Mr. GeH, owing te sick
ness In bis famlly.eeuld net be present, and
that the Yeung Republicans bad extended
an Invitation te tba audience te visit their
elub room where they would be entertained.
The audience get ready te disperse wben
some misguided youth y oiled out "Deane,
Dnane," and bait a dezin ethers cried
'Don't, Don't." Tbe frosty-haired old
doctor took tbe fijer and repeated from
memory a portion et tba bloody shirt ora
tion he baa been delivering In season and
out of season fera quarter of a century. At
last he waa abruptly oslled off and tbe
squad aana ceremony adjourned te tbe
Yeung Republicans parlor.
The mass comfortably filled tbe parlors ;
the distinguished were Introduced te tbe
undistinguished guests. Gee. Gleasen, of
New Yerk, was called upon for a speeeb.
He bad tbe geed sense te make a abort one.
Then " our Bresluk" was called en, and as
he never refines he tcuebed tbe oratorical
atrlngs in his usuarbrllllant manner. Tben
Dr. Deane continued the rehearsal of tbe
same old story, swearing tbat the bloody
shirt should never be folded until " an
honest ballet and an honest count" bad
been established I And the delegates from

Wbaa tha Investigation Inte tba subject
of toasts was resumed by tbe Heaea com
mittee ea maaafaetaraa Tbursdsy morning
Mr. Dedd, tha counsel et the Btaadard Oil
oempsBy, Introduced Mr. Jeseph Cbeate,
of New Yerk, aa tba counsel et tha Stand
ard Jbefera tbe oemmlttee. Jehn Hwsriz, of
Pleasantoe, P., and Frank L. Weeds, of
TltuavlUe, Pa, oil refiners, testified te
having heard that tha Pennsylvania rail
road had allowed lower rates te ether ship
pers tbaa te themselves. They thereupon
presented claims for rebate te tbe railroad
company, aad IS cents per barrel en their
shipments were returned te them.
Htata Senater Lewis Kmery, of Bradford,
Pa.,oerroborated tbeatstemeut made Wed
nesday by Mr. Campbell, te tbe e fleet that
practically all Independent refiners bad
been wiped out between 1872 and 1679, by
reason of tbe rebates given te tbe Hiaedard
and Ita predecessor, tbe Seuth Improve
ment company, by tbe railroads. Tbe In
dependent competitive refineries In 1S73
numbered 250, and only four or five wr
in existence in isiu. tjaeeeqnentiy in IB7B
en a guarantee from the Pennsylvania
railroad that equal rates would be
given te all shipper, wltneaa estab
lished a refinery In Philadelphia. At that
time he was a large producer, but found
that, owing te tba fact that companies
affiliated with the Standard owned tbe pipe
lines, he oeuld net get fresh oil te hta re
finery, and waaaerved with tank oil of an
Inferior quality, estimated te be worth 20
cents less per barrel than fresh oil. Wit
ness then constructed a pipe line from his
wells te the Rochester A Pittsburg rail
road, se as te secure oil from bis own wells.
Trouble seen commenced In getting ears,
and, though witness made strenuous
efforts, be waa unable te secure tbem ex ex
eept at irregular Intervale. At one time be
found that the Standard had applied for all
of the oil eara of tha Pennsylvania railroad,
and had aent most of them out or tbe state
te the far West At tbat very time the
Standard had 300 of Its own cars side
tracked and Idle In Buffalo. Finaliy
wltnesi was forced te sell out te the
Standard In 1887. "We were simply
deviled te death," he added. Had
he been able te secure cars, witness testi
fied that he would have been able te con
tinue bustnesi even though tbere was no
profit In refining, because et the fact tbat he
saved HO 000 a year out of hta pipe lines
alone, The Standard charged 20 cents per
barrel for piping oil from tbe wells, while
It only coats lf cents ter witness te trans
port the oil ever his own liner. Part et
ibis difference was due te tbe fact that no
pumping was necessary from wltneaa' wells
te the railroads. The statistics, witness said,
showed test while 97.6 per cent efjall the
refining bnalness In the country had been
done wltbln tha atate of Penssylvsnia in
1863, only 6.6 per cent, of tbe buaineas had
been done wltbln tbe atate In 1SS0. A oem-
Sutatlen made by witness showed that the
tandard had received ever 110,000,000 In
rebates In seventeen and a bait months
from tbe four principal '"railroads leading
from the oil fields. This computation waa
baaed en the supposition tbat certain things
which had been denied by Mr. Dedd, of
the Standard, were true In point of fact
The witness had no personal knowledge of
tba fact, but It was his opinion tbat tbe
Pennsylvania railroad still gave rebatea te
the Standard. He at tbe present time had
a suit for f 300.000 against the Standard for
rebates alleged te have been given in 1831 te
1887.
representative Breckinridge asked wit
ness the reason why tbe rallreids discrimi
nated sgalcst shippers, as it would seem te
be agslust the atoekholdera' Interest Tbe
witness replied that be would net Ilk te
give what he believed te be tbe history of
these rebates, but be would assert that It
waa bis opinion tbat tbe railroad men were
Interested In tliuae drawbacks and made
hundreds et thousands of dollars a
year out of tbem. "Bad they all
had tbelr deserts," continued the wit
ness, ' they would be In prison te-day."
Tbe witness said tbere was no valid
business reason wby these rebates should
be iitven, and it was a gross Injustice te the
stockholders of tbe railroad. Tbe amount
of rebates given tbe Standard, be certainly
thnwht, amounted in tbe aggregate te ever
1100 000,000, and bad the railroads treated
all shippers alike It wis his belief tbat they
would new be In receipt nf an annual In
come of from $ 15.000, 000 te $20,000,000 g i eater
than tbey received at present.
Mr. Oewen "It hss been stated by couu ceuu
sel for tbe Standard Oil company tbat I am
here for the purpose of aid lux a private suit.
New, have I been or am 1 In auy way act
ing as your counsel In your suit? Hsve I
ever spoken te you about tbe matter?"
Answer "Yeu hsve net"
The witness declined teacswer one or two
questions vtith respect te rebates alleged te
have been glven recently, en tbe ground
that It would glve his hand away In bis
pending suit.
Representative Buchanan objected te a
question with respect te bow uaueh nf tbe
capital stork of tbe Pennsylvania railroad
was owned by Its officers He had no ob
jection te tbat particular question, but If
tbe Investigation was continually extended
It would net be completed wben tbe urms
of tbe members of tbe committee expired.
Mr. Geweu said be thought the qtiestleu
material, He added :
Ne man cau show a slngle business rea
son wby the drawbacks should be given.
It is alleged that the Pennsylvania railroad
gave tbe Standard extraordinarily low
rates. I will de It tbe Justice te state tbat
it takes the position thai when a rival rail
road establishes a rate they must carry the
business at that rate or leae It. But If tbey
must csrry It at a fixed rate tbere Is no rea
son why everybody should net get tbat
rata It tbey carried it at tbat rate for a
company who, wben tbey commenced
business, only bad one tenth of 1 per cent
of tbe oil business, but have new grown
boss te control 85 per cent, of tbe coun
try's oil buslnesr, and it Is shown tbat the
rebstes given it have amounted te f 100,.
000 000, It becomes as a matter of policy
highly Important te aee why tbat was
done ; net only te leglalate In snob a man
ner aa will prevent a recurrence of It In
tbe future, but te ascertain it it be net pos
sible te de something tbst will give redress
te these wbe hsve ben Injured In tbe past.
1 tblnk the question strikes at the very
vital part of tbe examination. It Is known
tbat the Pennsylvania Is the largeat railroad
In tbe country. It certainly la here in evi
dence tbst millions and millions have been
taken away from tbe treasury of tbat com
pany by an uencceesety rebate, tbe result
or which hss bean te build np a great for
tune In tbe handa of a few possessors, and
te make tbe many, equally responsible an t
equally worthy, peer. Congress can gtve
a remedy for tbe past, which will be Just as
efficacious as the remedy which I hope win
result te the future from the investigation.
Representative f uehanan ssld the ques
tion wai net at te tacts of rebates, but wns,
aa te tbe witness' opinion, net knowledge,
with regard te tbe distribution of tbu cap
ital stock that is, as te wbat proportion of
it waa held by tbe managers of tbe read,
Tbe question was wslved for tbe present,
and the committee went Inte secret session
te consider the scope te be given tbe Inves
tigation. Without reaching sny definite
coneluslon an adjournment was taken until
Friday.
