George Wallace Delamater did two eminently proper things this evening after he was nominated for Governor of Pennsylvania. He kissed little "Dick" Quay, and then he ran straight Into his big, fat papa's arms, and received the heartiest hng he has had since he was an in fant up in Crawford county. Just after the nomination Mr. Delamater was crossing his front room at the Lochiel to bow his thanks to the gathering crowd in irontwhen a young, slightly built man with black mustache accosted him. A Rather Interesting Episode. "Why, Dick," shouted the nominee, and in the most impulsive manner possible, the newly-honored Senator threw both arms about the neck of Dick Quay, and im printed a sounding smack a regular lover's kiss on the left cheek of the young man from Bearer county. Handshakings with out limit followed, and both Delamater and young Quay were moved to wipe their eyes repeatedly. Daniel Hartman Hastings also did two Terr proper things after he was not nomin ated for Governor. First he refused to ac cept the Chairmanship of the State Commit tee as a balm from Beavertown to heal a bnrsted boom. Second, he made one outdoor speech late at night in the balcony of the Lochiel Hotel, promising 3,000 hearers that he would support the new ticket. Montooth Took a. Little Fresh Air. Montooth, too, was quite proper after the fight was orer. He Went out driving, and the fresh air kept him in a peaceful frame of mind. He even left the glittering Lochiel halls and spent the night at the United Staes Hotel. In the morning he goes to Washington, which is just the correct caper, as he will not be irritated by having to meet certain members of the Allegheny delega tion in Pittsburg. Major Montooth is extremely incensed at Walter Lyon, who led the break from him to Delamater. Mr. Lyon said that there was no use in voting for a boom with no earthly possibility of success, and as Montooth lost 11 votes on the second ballot, three of which came from Allegheny, Mr. Lyon said he could not be accused of desert ing when there was any possibility of suc cess. Demeanor of the Dark Horses. Propriety also marked the demeanor of Messrs. Stone, Osborne and McCormick as well. They simply went home. 2Jo, Stone did do something more. He also made a little speech from the balcony of the Lochiel to-night, declaring he is for Delamater first, last and all the time. Even the Montooth Brass Band of Pitts burg ached to do something proper. So it held an indignation meeting. Twenty-one members voted in laror of bolting the Delamater ticket. It was decided to halt in front of the United States District At torney's office when the band reaches home and play 'The Bognes' March." Of course Major Montooth is human. He could not help being ruffled some in temper by the desertion of 11 of his delegates, par ticularly the Pittsburcers. He did not con ceal his feelings along this line. As to his sentiments upon the ticket as formed abundant inferences may be drawn. Time alone will show whether they are what they seem to-night. -illicr Had Time to Talk. Then they sent down from the convention to-night for both Montooth and Hastings to come up to the hall and mate speeches. Montooth was out somewhere and Hastings was too busy. True, Hastings made a speech-subsequently to a street crowd, but its influence was lessened by the General's angry refusal of the SUte Chairmanship earlier In the evening.

Brown and William McCleary. however, are more temperate in their feelings and expressions. As to the trouble with Hastings, Colonel Andrews, the State Chairman, was seen at midnight, and In reply said he had contem plated resigning the chairmanship owing to its laborious duties. For nearly two years he had given his best efforts for the success of the Bepublican party, and, after 1111 IIIP Qeorffc Wallace Delamater. consultation with State leaders, they were of the opinion that General Hastings was among the best equipped for the place, and he was assured by a very near friend of the General that he would accept He went into the convention, therefore, and had him elected. A Positive and Decided Declination. General Hastings said late at night: "The news of my selection as State Chairman came while I was taking supper at a friend's house. I could not accept the position. I was a candidate for Governor only, and wanted and would take nothing else, and therefore authorized my friend to decline the honor." These two statements, it should be stated,, were given out as a result of a late con ference to fix up peace. They may have more surface than depth. The selection of Lieutenant Governor glres more satisfaction to the people than to the bosses. Early in the day Montooth assumed such a determined attitude in regard to resenting as an in sult any after attempt to make him Lieutenant Governor that all hopes of pushing through the slated arrangement were given np. Senator Watres, of Scran ton, who received the football office has full privilege to enjoy it. The managers are disgusted with their ill success in that line. Democrats in Harrisburg to-night are rather jubilant oyer the work of the Be publican Convention. Of course they enjoy any signs of trouble. L. E. StofieIj. OPEMNGSCENES. THE CROWD WAS EARLY IN THE CON VENTION HALL. Scenes and Incidents Attending; the Frrllm Inarv Skirmishing Coats Soon Doffed by the Sweltering Delegates Tho Alle gheny Representatives. rrSOU A STXTF COBEESPOOTXITT.1 Habbisbtjbg, June. 25. It wasn't Terr long after the door of the Opera Houser opened before the sweltering patriots com menced piling in with -entnusiasm on their faces and palmleaf fans in their hands the use of the latter being too obvious for com fort. Two large men of Sullivanesque build and countenance scanned yonr ticket and peered into your face as if you were sus pected of some wild statutory offense. There was system in all the interior arrange ments and a corps of able-bodied gentlemen moved you along with celerity in order to minimiie confusion. The parquet was reserved for the dele gates, the stage for the press gang and the two galleries for the men of influence who possessed the open sesamo doled ont by the State Committee. Each candidate was favored with a bunch of tickets, but, strange to say, one George Wallace Dela mater had the lion's share. The shouters for the Meadville man beat any claque ever gathered to applaud a faTorite, and soon demonstrated their lung power when the ball got a rolling. A Necessity for Saperlatlres. The Opera House was gorgeously decor ated, and the well-worn phrase, "gala ap pearance needed several superlatives to get in it" Across the "tormentor" or semi curtain, hung a long line of gay bunting, and the procenium boxes were decorated with long streamers of national colors with a central piece consisting of a burnishsd shield with half a dozen flags springing from it. The front of the balcony was fes tooned with pale pink and cream crepe, with a background of national colors. Shields and flags depended from the bal cony rail and in the center was a harp set upon a maltese cross, with the streamers fluttering in the breeze at the rare intervals when there was a breeze. Some of the patriots in the balcony wearied of squinting around the flags and denuded the balcony rail of Borne of its glories. The gallery was also elaborately bedizened and set forth with yellow, red and blue bunt ing. A decoration, or rather a series of more or less elaborate decorations not down on the bill were providea by the sweltering patriots aforesaid who scorned ceremony, drew their coats and appeared in linen clean iu exact proportion to the leneth of the journey, the quality of the strong water of the night Deiore, ana otner attributes of a more or less personal nature. The stage was an interesting sight, .Ranged across the front of the stage were the sundry small tables for the convention officers, and in the center stood a small stand draped in deep blue on which lay an ivory mallet for the use of the presiding officer. Later a gor geous basket of Jacqueminot and Marechal Xeil roses arrived. This was also for the use and edification of the presiding officer. The stage was occupied by a pair of long tables at which sat upward of 100 repre sentatives of the press. Candidates' Friends In Force. A railing ran across the middle of the stage, from which to the rear wall rose tier after tier of seats, upon which reposed men in all ranks ot li e, who seemed pretty well distributed between the various candi dates. It was P:30 o'clock when the doors opened. The delegates filed in and massed in the parquet, while the influential friends of the candidates who had Becured seats badgered the ushers for the places cor responding to their cards. The galleries were first filled by an im patient crowd. . It was not many moments before the ebullitions ot enthusiasm began to fly last and furious. A forward young man, with a rast red lace and a voice which wonld be but mildlv characterized as sten torian, opened the ball by clutching the gallery rati and shouting, " 'Rah for Dela niater!" A torrent of cheers shook the building. Hardlv had the acoustic properties be came stilled when a spare man with bushy whiskers rose in the balcony and shouted " 'Bah for Ginral D. H. Hastings." He stuttered and didn't wind up as well as he began, but the response from the crowd was not a whit less uproarious than that which greeted the tormer invocation. Scattering cries for Major Montooth, General Osborne and Secretary Stone percolated the ambient air, but generated no marked clamor. So much like the interior of a Western Penn sylvania glass lurnace was the atmosphere of the hall that the faction cries thereafter indulged in were sporadic, not to say languid. But whenever the Hastings men lifted up their voices, the Delamater men, as in duty bound, expended enough lung power to at least rival If not excel the out cry of the opposition. So all was lovely and the utmost good nature reigned. Arrival of the Allegheny Delegates. The Allegheny delegation was i trifle late in reaching the hall. At 1020 the Gibral tar representatives bowled in, all looking as fresh as daisies, with Chairman J. O.Brown well in the lead. With unfaltering step Chief Brown marshaled his cohorts into a capital position, well down in front and in comfortable propinquity to the presiding of ficer's desk. Settling in their seats on the edge of the left-hand siisle the custodiansof the Montooth boom glanced and nodded in dividually and collectively. William Flinn, who is "very democratic for so good a Bepublican, rose to his feet and with a movement or two of his brawny extremities shed his coat and laid it on the seat in iront of him. His'example was in fectious, ana Sheriff McCandless, upon whose countenance sundry and divers rills were trickling downward, speedily followed suit. Chief Brown also doffed the oppres sive coat, bnt William McCleary, who is considerable of what Colonel Beed calls an "Anollinaris Belvidere," was evidently afraid of catching cold. At this stage of the proceedings some palm leaf fan fiends bribed their way into the hall and did a land office busiuess for several moments. The hum of conversation and the whispered consultations graw in volume, and the fugitive strains of some oriole-colored mnsic wafted in at the win dows added to the beehive effect The crowd at the back of the stage stood up and craned their necks while the delegates streamed in. The Philadelphia delegates were quietly applauded by the members of the convention when the delegation straggled in. Collector Martin, the 'Quay leader in the City of Brotherly Love, attracted a good deal of attention, and Temporary Chairman Graham, a tall man with a black mustache, square shoulders and a clean-shaven pair of jaws, kept himself modestly in the back ground. Contplcnons by Bis Absence. Hon. Walter Lyon, who was to be Per manent Chairman, was conspicuous by his absence from the Allegheny delegation. Bumor had it that he was sequestered at the Lochiel coining a speech calculated to as tOuish the natives. By 10:30 o'clock all the seats were taken in the building, newspaper men had exchanged greetings and found places and paper, and the lellows in the gallery grew impatient as the moments fled and the convention came not to order. A volume of cat calls and feebly discordant shouts for candidates betrayed the desire to see something.done. Finally Frank Willing Leech, Charles F. Ettia and Seymour L. Ban, the secre taries of the convention, made a triumphant Lentree armed with sundry documents and jjaiiciD, pictcuiu hue wcii-ieu oLHie unair man, William H. Andrews, who looked as if he had hard sledding in standing off per tinacious applicants for seats. With 2,000 seats at his command, and all of Harris burg and a fairly representative Be publican constituency from everywhere else the position of the State Chairman has been quite the reverse of a sinecure since 7 o clock this morning, when the distribution of tickets took place. It was on the shady side of 10:30 when Chairman Andrews faced the sea of heads and struck a lew resounding tans on the desk, obtained quiet, and opened his mouth" to call the great convention to order.

Stirring Addresses With Which Each Ac cepted the Honor Proceedings of the Morning Session A Speedy Adjourn ment for Dinner. 1FKOM X BTXTT COMtESPOIfPBXT.J HABBISBUBO, June 25. State Chairman Andrews ascended the platform at 10:35 and rapped the assemblage to order. Clerk Leach read the call for convention and then the roll was called. Only one contest was reported that from Berks county. Five delegates come from Berks. The fight among them had been Quay and anti Quay. The -slated arrangement was that the anti-Quay delegates would be admitted providing they roted for Delamater, so when this contest was announced it was promptly le'erred to the Committee on Contested Seats, which would be appointed later on. A skirmish was the immediate result of this reference. The Hastings people, through Geo. S. Graham, Temporary Chairman. E. C. Humes, of Center county, objected to what wonld lead to the slated arrangement The matter was dropped for the time being, and Alfred Shields, of Philadelphia, nom inated George S. Graham for Temporary Chairman. As an olive branch for Alle gheny county, H. H. By ram was made one of a committee of two to escort Graham to the chair. The Temporary Chairman made a very neat speech, iu the 'course of which he said: Idens of Chairman Graham. As representatives, npon ns rests to-day the responsibility of action. We ninst act so as to strengthen and not to disintegrate. We mast act so as to preserve the spirit of unity, so necessary and important.

Below are the details of that session of the convention which resulted iu Delamater's nomination for Governor. Allegheny county's candidate was ably presented, but the figures were against him, some of the home delegates being among the first to break to the winner. Hastings' name prob ably elicited the most enthusiasm. trBOK X BTXTT COBRESPOXPEXT.I Habrisbueo, June 25. The recess for dinner lasted considerably more than an hour and a half, and, lest they should lose their seats, many people did not leave the hall at all. Others gulped down a hurried lunch and returned. Long be ore the officers had arrived the Opera House was packed. The spectators spied State Treasurer Eoyer on the stage and began to eall for him to make a speech. These calls continued for a long while belore the good-natured Treasurer concluded to answer them. He said he would not make a speech, because he had written all the speeches that would be de livered that afternoon, and it had incapaci tated him from any further effort On this ground he begged to be excused. The joke was enjoyed very much. While awaiting for the convention to resume business the people in the two galleries got to cheering. Having exhausted themselves on Delamater and Hastings, some fellow on the back part of the stage yelled "three cheers for M. S. Quay." They were given right royally, but without a tiger. Hearty Cheers tor C. L. Mb gee. . The echo was scarcely stilled When ji deep-voiced chap in the left of the lowest gallery bawled "three cheers for Chris Ma gee." Spontaneously the cry was taken up, and it is no exaggeration to say that the plaudits were given two-fold the volume of sound and by twice the number of throats. There was no doubt about it, and a general laugh passed over the delegate section oi the house at this unexpected testimonial to the popularity of the absent Pittsburg leader. At 2:30 the convention was called to order again by Chairman Lyon. Mr. Gilbert, of Dauphin, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, presented the report of that committee, which included the platform. That section ot the plat'orm indorsing Sena tor Quay met with enthusiastic applause, in the midst of which somebody cheered for Hastings. Beyond this demonstratisn the reading of the platform met with no. re sponse. , -k .. -'-.-'fey Chairman Lyon announced that the con vention was ready to receive nominations for Governor. Speeches were limited to 15 minutes and the seconding speeches to 10 minutes. John J. Carter, of Crawford county, was the first to secure the floor. He presented the name oi Senator Delamater iu the following Bpeech: Formnl Presentation of Dclamntcr's Name. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen! The good people of Crawford county, assem bled according to law, have commanded me to appear before this convention as their repre sentative; and, in obedience to that command,I now ask your indulgence while I perform tho pleasant duty Imposed. The magnitude of my surroundings and the importance of the work to be done, embarrass me not a little: and, al though I behold familiar laces here and there throughout this large andience, a majority of those within the sound of my voice are strangers. In the midst of this embarrass ment, however, it is pleasant to remember that, though strangers in form and feature, all are friends and fellow citizens of PennsIvania, and that greater Commonwealth the United States. Wbateverthed. may be our individual hopes or ambitions, it matters but little,so long as the history, traditions and glory of the State and nation are maintained. To preserve these and to make the task easy for every citizen to perform his duty to both btate and nation, political parties are called into being; and in harmony with established custom this convention is to-day assembled. A Chapter From Natare's Book. The blstory of the Republican party, for more than a qnarter of a century, like the his tory of Pennsylvania Itself, may be likened to a chapter in the book of nature complete in detail; luxuriant in growth and development; grand in design and construction; worthy alike of the founders of this procressive Common wealth and the grand party of emancipation, made glorious and everlasting by tho leader ship of Abraham Lincoln. The history of Pennsylvania points with pride to the names of William Fenn, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris and Albert Gallatin, whose love of lib erty and honesty ot purpose established a State upon a foundation of universal justice which neither time nor circumstances has been able to rlestrnv or immlr rin ft. nna ..... are detailed the material and educational progress of the masses, toward a higher plane of manhood, through the agency of a party, composea of the people, acting for the people, by an instrumentality created by themselves. In all the years of that history the sons of Pennsylvania bave been recognized as leaders of thought and action, whether in the council, the forum ir the battlefield. Who of us may not point with pride to the pterline manhood of Tbaddeus Stevens, the great Commoner of Pennsylvania; the integrity and Spartan cour age of Edwin AI. Stanton, the grand old secre tary of Lincoln; the faithful patriotism of Andrew G. Curtin, the War Governor of tbis Commonwealth; the magnetic and sterling In tegrity of SamuelJ. Randall; the fine sense of public duty of the lamented William D. Kelley, and the martial fame of General Wintiela 8. Hancock, the hero of Gettjsburg. We are fortunate, fellow citizens, in having such an history; but more fortunate in the possession of political institutions, managed in such a form s to preserve the traditions of such a progress ive people. His Duty a Simple One. The Republicans of the Northwest have not commissioned me to detract from the merits of any gentleman claiming the suffrage of these delegates. My duty is a Mmpler one. It is one of peace and good will to all one recognizing the just claims of every candidate and section one more in love with the prosperity of the party than the advancement of any man, be he from the Northwest, Center or the Sontb. Will you not, in a like spirit, lend me your ears while I place before you the name of one who has done the Btate some service, and who is not altogether unknown In the gates of the nation? He hails from the Northwest the home of steadfast Republicanism. He is a courteous gentleman: a finished scholar and a sagacious man of business, familiar with the wants of the people. He is earnest, brave, loyal and capable, A man whose every pulse-beat is for the elevation of the race: whose heart is in sympathy with every great and Important measure to advance the interests of bis fellows and bis country. A true and tried friend of American Indus tries one wbo knows no snch word as fail. A man whose word Is good as his bond at all times and upon all occasions. A typical American who loves freedom, hates oppression and misery, under whatsoever guise they ap pear. Such a man is George Wallace Delama ter, whose name I bave the honor to present for the consideration of this convention as the Chief Executive of this great Republican Com monwealth. He is the unanimous choice of the Northwest a Republican empire in Itself as steadfast in its loyalty to the tenets of that nartr as the eternal hills. He hears an hon ored same In. the State and nation, and those j. who know him best sneak words of. praise in Ids behalf. A Long' Line of Ancestors. He comes from a long line of ancestors, trac ing their lineage to the colonial settlements of Massachusetts, and in every branch of the fam ily the proud name be bears has been sus tained with honor, lntrnsted at an early age with the caro of large and important interests, he is thoroughly schooled In all matters per taining to commercial and economic questions, and Is, therefore, lully equipped for the impor tant duties of the Chief Executive of this com mercial Commonwealth. He has proven him self to be a practical and successful business man, an experienced banker, a builder and manager of railroads, and is by education and practice a li.wyer of no mean repute. He is one or the enterprising, progressive, broad gauged men of the Northwest. In politics be has ever been a Republican, pronounced and uncompromising, and as a faithful historian has said: "He was just be ginning to bloom into boyboodwhen that party bad its birth. There were elements in this young and vigorous organization which ap pealed strongly to his youthful imagination, and when the cnntest for supremacy in Kansas and Nebraska came on, the public press teemed with the heated discussions of partisans, and eminent statesmen on the floors of Congress Doured forth their impassioned eloquence, car rying their contentions even to violence, the young Delamater was alive to the cries of free dom and was, from the very outset, In sympathy with the men and the party who championed the rights of man and tne ultimate freedom of the slave." The interest in the exciting contest; the mighty ground swell ot pent-up war, animating the hearts of freemen, wherever located, in the struggle with the arro.ant slave power, entered bis soul like iron, and made bim the firm, un yielding aud enthusiastic Republican that he is and was, .as the riebt hand of the intrepla and indomitable ilathew Stanley Quay in the memorable campaign of 1SSS. lie Early Become n Politician. Early in life he entered the political arena, jo.ning the rank and flle of his party, bent on ,doing a citizen's duty only; but his ability and manhood soon gained him the recognition and suffrage of his district; first as Mayor of the city in which he lived; second, as Senatorial Delegate to the State Convention of 1878; third, as Chairman of the Republican Conn y Com mittee of 1879; fourth, as a Garfield Freslden tal Elector of Pennsylvania in 1880, and fifth, as State Senator of this Commonwealth in 1888. I now ask you, in behalf of the North west, to nominate Senator Delamater tor Gov ernor of his native State, pledging you, that under his magnetic leadership, Pennsylvania will furnish a greater Renublican majority than at any former election for Governor. Senator Deiam iter entered the race a loyal and true-hearted Kepuolican. His party has honored him on more occasions than one and he has never been afraid to do right no matter what the consequences. With him is Chief Execntive, the vast interests of tbe great State will bo rigidly guarded and faithfully protected, for George Wallace Dela mater is a man in his own right who believes implicitly in the rights of the many, which under him, cannot be made subservient to the greed of the few. A man of education and refinement, he is an open advocate of all that can improve and elevate the condition of his fellow man. He is a man of Irreproachable morals and a citizen of truth and sobriety. He is possessed of large ideas, lofty Impulse and unflagging energy. He is a safe man to place in the lead. He is true to his friends and just to his enemies. He is aggressive for the right and is both strong in mind and body. He is not afraid ot slanders, nor Is he restless under tbe aspersions of the tal-e and malignant. He is calm and sell-poised in conflict, never stoop ing to perform dark or unmanly deeds. Flnnl Appeal to the Delegates. Therefore, in the name of the great State at Pennsylvania; in the name of her varied indus tries: in the name of ber toiling millions; in the name of her great highways; in the name of her agricultural intorests; In the name of her mines and miners; in tbe name of all the progressive young Republicans of Pennsylvania, and in be half of the whole Commonwealth, l ask that George Wallace Delamater be declared the nominee of this convention for Governor of Pennsylvania. Mr. Carter's delivery is rather defective although tbe make-up of his oration was dignified and scholarly. When he named Delamater finally, the audience rose and cb.ee.red.hip repaatedly. The. reference, to. tne aia Air. ueiamater renaerea unairmen Quay in 1888 was also loudly cheered. Some chap tried to start a cheer lor Hastings during Mr. Carter's speech, but was imme diately hissed down. Prof. C. Stuart Pat terson, Dean of the law faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, seconded the nomination of Delamater. He paid ' a glowing tribute to the young Bepublican, saying that he has come to.the front because youth and courage are bound to float on top. The Time for Hastings. It was now General Hastings' opportun ity. George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon county, one of the most prominent attorney's in Central Pennsylvania, stepped to the front He is a striking lookinc man, prob ably 42 years of age, tall, with jet black hair, piercing eyes, a heavy drooping mus tache. Tremendous applause greeted him and it was some time before he could pro ceed. Tbe bands outside caught up the refrain and carried it down Market street and up Walnut street The crowds in Capital park could be heard shouting for Hastings. Orlady's style of delivery is menacing, and when he slowly enunciated these words: "Grave results depend on yonr action here to-day," he pointed in a threatening manner toward the Philadelphia delegation, ad ding, "that since the election of Harrison matters have been at ebb tide, and they must be stopped." "That's the stuff," yelled a man in the gallery His reierence to Hastings as the hero of Johnstown aroused both a feeling of sadness and genuine outbursts of admira tion for the Center county candidate. Any Amount of Enthusiasm. The oration covered nearly every point that has been brought out for or against Hast ings. For instance, be said: "I name you a man whose success does not depend on what the enemy does." It was fully two minutes before the audience got done jubi lating over this statement. Flags and ban ners waved and a cannon boomed down on the Susquehanna boulevard. Mr. Orlady spoke as lollows: Mr. Chairman The nomination of General D. H. Hastings should come from the floor, and not from an elevation. Applause. I represent tbe central portion of tbe Keystone State, and a candidate who is'good for 80,000 majority. Applause. No faction does be represent applause; a man of the people (applause: tne undisputed owner of himself. Applause. Tbe whole State is in bis favor not a section of it. Here came a storm of applause which de generated into cat yells and noise. Mr. Orlady put his arms akimbo and said, with great sarcasm: Jt you fellows are going to nominate Hastings come up here and do it. Quiet being restored Mr. Orlady's Toice took up its sonorous strain again. Fellow citizens, there was never a time in the part 's history when calm, deliberate judgment was more necessary. There was never a time when voters wbo make or mar us look more anxiously or with graver apprehension to our impending action. This convention is unpre cedented in Republican annals in point of at tendance, in character of these delegates and in the size of tbe vote that sent tbe men I see here. Fellow Republicans, since;tbe election ot onr honored President Harrison faint cheers tbe Republican party has been at ebb tide. Let us stop and reason trgetber. The man I can name is close to the people. He was born on tbe banks of the Susquehanna, of poor parents, whose only bequest to their sturdy son was a perfect and magnificent physique. As a boy be Determined to Carve for Himself a place on the pedestal ot fame. As a school master he labored for truth and right in incul cating sound principles in his little followers. As a country lawyer be elbowed bis way to the front rank. His abilities, his integrity, his energy forced him to the front Three times did be ask to join those wbo now wear merited glory in tbe blue garments synonomous with patriotism. Three times was he refnsed be cause he was only 15 years of age. I Great ap planse.1 Mr. Orlady then referred eulogistically to Genyal Hastings' elevation to the Adju tant Generalship and to the oratorical honors garnered at the Chicago Convention. Ee ferring to Johnstown Mr. Orlady said: On the 81st of May General Hastings heard from Johnstown the rumblings and mutterings of an appalling disaster. He was absorbed in personal business of great importance, but tbe Continuta on Seventh fage,) HIS NAME IS WATRES The Man Who Takes the Second Place Upon the Ticket Headed by Mr. Delamater. MONTOOTH WOULD NOT TOUCH IT, tf&twithstandin? the Most Urgent Solicita tions From Politicians of Almost Every Stripe. 0NK BALLOT ALL THAT WAS HECE8SAKT. Martin n J Pass more Were Placed In the Field, 1st ' Were Easily Beaten. Senator Watres was nominated for Lieu tenant Governor oh the first ballot Major Montooth was beseeched to take the place, but firmly and positively refused. General Hastings was then chosen as Chairman of the State Committee, in place of Andrews, resigned. The General refused to accept, however, and Andrews will again hold the position. . IFEOM A 6TXTT COBBIEPONDEXT.l Habbisbubo, June 25. Immediately after the nomination for Governor was made a Dispatch representative called on Major Montooth at his headquarters at the Lochiel and asked him how it fared with him. He was in the midst of a host of friends, who were calling on him to express their sorrow that he had been unable to make tbe riffle. Although, of course, greatly disappointed he seemed clad that the agony of suspense was over. When asked if he was a second place possibility he emphatically replied: "No, sir; I have gone down with my ship. I will not be ballast for any man." Then, turning around to greet a new comer, he threw both arms about a large, well-built Alleghenian, and heartily thanked him for not haying been one of the three who bad deserted him on thati atefnl second ballot All United In Urging Montooth. Here a perfect string of men approached, one after another, urging the Major to be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. But to each there was but one reply: "Gentle men, I came here a candidate for Governor, nothing else. I will go back to Allegheny a lawyer, as I came, but not now a candi date for any office whatever. This sentiment was heartily applauded by more than a score ot the Major's friends, who surrounded him. J. O. Brown, Wil liam Flinn, Charles McKee and a number of others desired the Major to accept the Lieutenant Governorship, which they as sured him was within his grasp, but he was inflexible, and they left him after a half hour or so, saying he was doing wrong, but he could not see it that way, and so told them. The positive refusal of the handsome Pitts burger left the field open for the three an nounced candidates for the office, who at once grasped the situation and went to work. The Evening Session of the Convention. At 7:45 Chairman Lyon called the con vention to order, and almost immediately recognized Mr. E. O. White, of Lancaster, who took tbe stage and after an eulogy of tbe Republicans of Lancaster county, traced the growth of the party majorities since 1860. He said that Lancaster had never had a place upon the State ticket His allusion to Tbaddeus Stevens and James G. Blaine evok'ed great applause, his rapid sketch of Hon. E. K. Martin was received with marked favor and the mention of his name at the last was greeted with a fnsilade of cheers. Chairman Lyon then recognized Mr. Everett Warren, of Lackawanna county, who presented, amid much applause, the name of Hon. L. A. Watres, generally at tbe time regarded up to this time as a dark horse. Mr. Warren spared no pains to point out Mr. Watres' availability, and gave a graphic history of his redemption from an opposite party of the Twentieth Senatorial district Prolonged applause was given the speaker and his snbject The Third Candidate In the Field. David Lane, of Philadelphia, was recog nized next by Chairman Lyon. Mr. Lane wanted to speak from the floor, but finally took the stage. He nominated the Hon. J. A. M. Passmore, whose name seemed a good one to conjure by if applause and cheers were a criterion. Mr. Brum, ot Schuylkill county, who stood forth in a flannel shirt and with per spiration tracking his swarthy countenance. was recognized and seconded the nomina tion of Passmore in a speech comparing bim to Long, of Massachusetts, because "he could name more people in Pennsylvania by their first and last name than any other two men in the State." He went Mr. Lane one better on tbe enlogy business, and made a rattling speech in a stentorian voice. He sketched the history of the Bearer fiasco, and demanded that Passmore be "vindi cated" as well as Beaver. His speech was a little long and wearied the convention somewhat Nothing bnt Silence From Allegheny. All eyes were now turned upon Alle gheny's delegation and Walter Lyon waited a half a moment, but no voice was uplifted for the gallant Major, whose boom bit the dnst in the afternoon. They commenced the call of the roll. It went but a little ways before Watres was seen to be a winner. Allegheny county men had evidently agreed on Watres, for the entire rote, including Chairman Lyon Went to Watres, Mr. H. H. Byram alone roting for Passmore. Mr. Brutnm, of Schuylkill county, arose and Baid that to simpliiy matters he wonld withdraw Mr. Passmore's name. Then came a regular landslide to Watres. He had 80 rotes before the list of counties was half finished. Martin did not seem to be In it to any alarming extent State Treas urer Boyer was applauded when he voted for Watres, and blushed visibly. It was so one-sided that the galleries began to thin out, and several delegates changed their rotes, Mr. Byram changed from Pajjmore Sena tor TVatref, Nominee for Lieutenant Goxer- nor. to Watres, and Berks and Clarion county men got in ont of tbe wet The Usual Acclamation Proceeding. The rote was then announced as being Watres 165 to Martin's 36. The motion to make Watres tbe nominee by acclamation was then put through with a Tush. William Leeds, who had been rather sub dued during the whole convention, then arose and placed in nomination the name of Thomas J. Stewart for Secretary of Internal Affairs. He was rushed through with great celerity and applause, after W. D. Porter, of Allegheny county, bad made a neat little second on behalf of the Gibralter county, which had a candidate for the highest place, .but was Bepublican to tbe core lortbe whole ticket a sentiment very liberally ap plauded. It was then moved and Carried that the candidates nominated be requested to appear before the convention. Chairman. Lyon ap pointed as a Committee ot Escort the follow ing members ot the convention: Alfred Gratz, of Philadelphia; William Flinn, of Allegheny, and General Fisher, of Chester. Generai D. H. Hastings was sprung as tbe Chairman of tbe State Bepublican Commit tee. Chaiiman Andrews arose and made the nomination in the simplest form. It was seconded, and Leeds got up and asked if Hastings would accept Mr. Andrews said one word which settled the matter. It was "Yes." General Hastings was then chosen in a blaze of glory and a halo of surprise. The Conquering Hero Comes. After a moment or two cf indecision the band played "See, the Conquering Hero Comes," and Senator Delamater, Hon. L. A. Watres and Thomas Stewart entered the hall and advanced to the stage amid a huge salvo of applause. Chairman Lyon said: "Behold yonr candidate." and there was an other outburst of applause as the successful candidate began to read his address, as lol lows : Mr. President and gentlemen of the conven tion, words cannot express my appreci ision of tbe high honor conferred upon me by this nomination. I accept it with a profound sense of my responsibilities as the standard-bearer of tbe grand organization whose representatives yon are, and with the prond assurance of a glorious victory next November. Inspired with the splendid achievements of Republican ism in (be past, and pledged to an earnest and continued devotion to tbe never-dying princi ples upon which those achievements have been won, we are well pre pared to enter upon the duties of tbe coming campaign. The vantage ground upon which Pennsylvania and the nation stands to-day; the measure of our great pros perity, and the decree of intelligence of our people, are dne to the Republican party. Look ing Into your faces and animated by your en thusiasm, I am convinced that tbe Republican party of Pennsylvania does not propose to pause now. Whatever questions involving tbe rights and happiness of the people are con fronted will be courageously considered and wisely solved. The platform which you bave adopted proclaims that, as in the past, the Be publican party is now The Conservator of the Good which has already been realized and the posi tive force which tends to tbe promotion of all Intelligent efforts for the elevation of man kind. I need not enter into details which yon all know and realize. Tbe Republican party is essentially the party of tbe people, born of tbe travail ot slavery, grown into manhood, dis ciplined and strengthened by the fierce trials of rebellion and reconstruction, it is now in tbe foil panoply of mature age, able and ready to cope with all living questions. It believes In tbe absolute equality of all people before the law. Therefore does it protest against all tendenoles to class legislation. Believing in tbe brotherhood of man and recognizing the dependence of all men, one upon tbe other, it alms to build up a system of laws wbich shall protect and nurture all alike. I congratulate you npon yonr proud position as representatives ot tbis illustrious party, not merely upon the rich inheritance wbich yon possess, but because of tbe promise Implied by ?our membership, that you are ready and wili ng each to do your part in tbe splendid work in which our party is engaged. It has accom plished marvelons results, because its adherents have been sentimentalists alone, bnt have been living embodiments of the spirit, which has animated and controlled it. Important Issues of the Day. The issues of to-day are not less Important than at any perloa during the existence of the Republican party. To transmit to posterity, pure and unimpaired, that. citizenship wbich has resulted from tbe heroic sacrifices of the Civil War. and from the system of education fostered by the Republican party: to put a premium upon patriotism and loyalty to the flag by taking a fatherly care of every veteran Soldier of the war: to favor the adoptiou of such laws as will more equally distribute tbe bnrdens of taxation, to wisely con trol corporations, to protect labor and encourage tbe growth of a self-respect, inde pendence and happiness among laboring men, to so amend the tariff laws that tbe great re sources of our State aud nation may continue to be liberally developed, and even greater prosperity be enjoyed by our people than in the past these and many other unsolved problems face us to-day. They demonstrate the fact that the work of tbe Republican party is hardly De pun. They call for tbe best tbougbt of tbe best minds of tbe organization. Not only the careful judgment oi mature age. bnt the vigor ous and enthusiastic consideration of the young men. I thank God that the signs of the times Indi cate more than ever before the active partici pation of all members of the party in tbe prac tical management of its campaigns; the infu sion of new blood Into tbe organization, and a more open and full discussion of all current questions. He Will Face the Enemy. For the time, I happen, by your suffrage, to be chosen as your leader. As since early boy hood I have labored in the ranks so now and in the future you shall find me with my armor on, facing the common enemy. I invoke your heartiest co-operation, not that 1 may gain a personal victory, bnt that Republicanism may once more demonstrate the. irre"istible strength in its cbosen fortress, tbe grand old Common wealth of Pennsylvania. After Senator Delamater's speech Major Levi J. McCanlly, West Chester, got up and stated in most positive terms that Gen eral Hastings retused to accept the State Chairmanship. Leeds also arose and said that General Hastings would not accent the honor. The Chairman ordered the band to play, saying that General Hastings would soon be there to speak for himself. The general conversation that ensued was very much muddled. Senator Delamater re marked to a friend that General Hastings need not expect much from the party in the future by such action. Andrews Gets His Place Again. Finally, after much philandering by the band and others, Colonel J. J. Carter, of Titusville, rose and nominated Colonel, William H. Andrews, the old chairman, who was elected with a hurrah, William Flinn, then arose and stated that Major Montootn was ont riaing ana coma not be found, and that General Hastings was also uncertain. "Sulky," murmnred a Delama ter man. Then some one moved an adjourn ment It was carried, and the agony was over. An exciting scene occurred on the Opera House stage in the wings after tbe conven tion adjourned. State Chairman Andrews was snrrounded by a crowd of angry Re publicans while on his way to the telegraph office, and hotly denounced for tbe "blankety, blank break" be had made by positively stating that Hastings would accept the Chairmanship, and then in a few minutes having it as positively denied by the General himself. Andrews made no at tempt to defend himself, other than to say he was assured he was right Shortly alterward Delamater pinned An drews up in a corner of the anditorium and talked to him with all his might on ,the matter. The lecture lasted for about "ten minutes, when tbe lights were turned out, the two men being the last to leave the hall, and Andrews saying to interviewers that he would have a statement to make later.

B0 DETEL0P3IEKTS UKTIL FEIDAI After ten days weary watching and wag ing for the rescue of the imprisoned men in tbe Farm Hill mines, the most sanguine realize that the men mnst be dead. The rescuing party are at sea as to where they are, and the men may not be reached before Saturday. Forty-eight men are at work. irEOM A BTAJT COBHESrOJTDErT.l Dtjnbab, June 25. Still digging, wait ing and praying. Is there anything else that can be done? For ten days a band of sturdy miners hare been trying to pierce the ritais of the low, stunted hill, but, like) some ancient allegorical monster, it laughs in their teeth, and defies their com bined efforts. The 31 men are- still prisoners, and God only knows when they will be recovered. All hope that they may be alire is now aban doned, and the Donbar Furnace Compiny is making preparations to bury the dead. Fine caskets will be furnished, but what a hollow mockery is this. 'Tis not coffins, but the safe return of their lored ones that tho afflicted families demand. It is feared this can nerer be done, and the thought of the agony of these men dying together under the earth is almost distracting. TTATCHOBN ON THE SIITfATlOS. "I expect to see some of the Dunbar miners buried on Sunday. They won't be reached before Friday, and it may take them a month to get them all." This is how Secretary Watchorn sized up the situation this evening, alter spending; the greater part of the day with tbe rescu ing partr in the mine. He is not afraid to lend a hand, and he is such a level-headed, sensible man that his presence encourages tbe men. Continuing he said: 'The coal has not yet been struck. The men are still going; through the compact 'gob in the old works, and no one can get an idea how bard it is to remore until he goes in there and tries it The miners are working like Trojans, and they make strike through by Friday morn ing, but not be'ore. "There are at least 30 feet more of gob to be removed and then 40 feet of coal mnst be cut The course Is in the direction of a room in which the pillar has not been taken ont And when this is struck it is expected to find it open. I wish to correct an er roneous impression that has gone about that I came here to call off the proposed con vention. There is no truth in that report, and if the men thought there was they would throw down their picks and flood this place. In such hot weather they want little prorocation to stop work." SCORING TIIE MINE OWNEBS. Mr. Watchorn is bitter in his denuncia tion of the owners for the manner in which the coal was mined. He claims that the disaster could hare been arerted, and it won't be his fault if somebody is not made to prespire ireely before this thin? is over. Inspector Evans was more hope'ul than ever this evening, and be predicts that by to-morrow at 12 o'clock they will be into the) Hill Farm mine. Inspector Davis, who is one of the oldest and most experienced miners in the Con nellsville region, said he would not express an opinion until he had something definite on which to base it There is nothing else to say. A 15-loot drill was brought from Unio'ntown to work tbe coal as soon as it is reached. The engineers say the coal is there, and in the absence of better authority this, will have to be accepted. WAITINO FOE DEVELOPMENTS. The work will be continued .along the present line according to the plans until they get somewhere, for they don't know now where they are. Forty.eight men went down on the shift this evening: and they ex pect to make Xair headway. At this writing no developments are an ticipated before Friday. This evening Dr. Muller reports tbe families as doing well, bnt their sorrow is great Tbe suspense of waiting is simply terrible. About midnight, when Secretary Watch orn again came from the mine, he was convinced that by sunset to-morrow they would be carrying out the dead men.
