Following are brief biographical sketches of the candidates named yesterday: Senator George "Wallace Delamater, the nominee of the Republican party for Gover nor of Pennsylvania, was 41 years of ace on March 31 last He was reared in the law, bnt abandoned the legal arena soon after his admission to the bar lor the more congenial pursuit ot banking. The Senator has been generally represented as a man of millions, whose purse was without limit, and open to all demands of party boodle. As a matter of fact, his fortune is limited, although his expectations are great, but his liberality with what he has bas not been overesti mated. Senator Delamater is worth proba bly f50,000 in Mb own right His father, who sat in the State Senate before him, is, however, one of the wealthiest oil and iron producers in the State, and perhaps is sev eral times a millionaire. TEET AGREEABLE SOCIETY. Socially Senator Delamater is one of the most agreeable of men. His manner is gen tle, and he is most companionable. His personal honor has never been questioned, either in public or private life, and he is free from affectation, is natural and makes friends easily. The Senator keeps his face always closely shaved, except npon the tipper lip, where he wears a florid mustache ot considerable proportions, but not quite so flowing as that ot his friend, State Treasurer-elect Boyer. He thus looks quite as young as his years, if not a few years younger. His residence, at Headville, is THE DELAMATER one of the handsomest in the interior of the State, und here he deals out a fine hospital ity, assisted by a charming wife, whose wide circle of friends has been no small aid in advancing her husband's political fortunes. The outlines of Senator Delamater's career in politic are well known. Mayor of Meadville (1876), Senatorial delegate to the State Convention (1878), Chairman of Crawford County's Rcpubliein Committee (1878). Garfield tlectiou (1880), and Sen ator (18S6-90). His ability as a political manager is undoubted. The Senator's enemies flaunt bis youth and alleged inex perience in h.s face. Thoe who know him best, however, know him for a man of wis dom in emergency wise and shrewd, and altogether a man of superior ability in political warfare. HIS HOLD ON QUAT. Many stories to account for the hold he has upon Senator Quay's regard have been told, and it has been openly stated that at a critical moment he advanced the Senator a large amount of money. This story is not entirely baseless, and it is a fact, in addi tion, that Senator Delamater did give the National Committee a lift last year, when Xrt. G. 11'. DtlamaUr. its coffers were empty, but he was paid back upon this occasion, at least But the real secret of the Senator's hold on Quay is the aid which he extended to the latter when hp was a candidate for the nomi nation lor State Treasurer, and after he had been elected. Delamater, with a tact and management which excited Quay's admira tion, handled the N6rthwestern delegates for Quay in the convention, and a terward quieted the opposition of the oil producers when the campaign was hot, and when an independent movement on the part of Emery, Lee and others in that section might have started a fire of opposition which would have been dangerous. It is now said that Senator Delamater failed to keep his pledges made to the pro ducers in this fight, and that he and Quay allowed the Billingsley bill, which the pro ducers say is what was promised them, to be defeated when they could have saved it This is said to be "the secret of ex-Senator Lee's emphatic opposition to the nominee. The Senator has not as yet said his say upon this point, but may do so later. LOUIS ARTHUR WATRES. Louis Arthur. Watres, named for second place on the ticket, was the choice of the Re publicans of Northeastern Pennsylvania for the nomination ot Lieutenant Governor. Eversince his election to the State Senate he has been in the field as an active candidate for that office and had a creditable showing of friends iu the list ot delegates. Senator WAtres was born at ML Vernon, Lacka wanna county, April 21, 1851. He is one of thVmost successful young men in business and politics in that section of the State. He aUrted in life at the bottom round of the fn . " ' ladder. He picked coal on the culm dumps of the anthracite region, t en drove a team, clerked in a store, worked on a farm.weigbed coal for the Delaware and Hudson Coal Com pany and filled the positions of postmaster's clerk, deputy sheriff and teller and cashier in a bank. He studied law with John Handy and was admitted to the bar in 1878. He has been County Solicitor of Lackawanna and in 1882 became the Kcpublican candidate for State Senator in the Twentieth district, which comprises in a large degree the min ing portion of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. Although the district is Demo cratic, Watres' personal popularity won him an election by a handsome majority. He was re-elected in 1886 by an increased majority. In 1887 he was appointed In spector'of Rifle Practice for the National Guard by Governor Beaver on account of the record for marksmanship made by Com pany A, of Scranton, of which he is cap tain. "When he took charge of the depart ment there were only 1,300 marksmen in the National Guard. Under his supervision the number has increased to 4,300. Senator "Watres is largely interested in business en terprises in his district, and has a record at Harrisburg as an earnest worker and an able legislator. THOJIAS J. STEWART, who was renominated as Secretary of Internal Affairs, was born near Bel ast, Ireland, September 11, 1848. He came with his parents to Norristown when an infant He was educated in the public schools and at the Quaker City Business College. At the ace of 16 he enlisted as a private in the One Hundred and Thirtv-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Prom 1870 to 1882 he was en gaged as a manufacturer and dealer in win dow glass; from 18S2 to 1883 was Assistant Adjutant General ol the Departmentof Penn sylvania. G. A. R. In 18S3 he was appointed Assistant AdjutantGeneralof.the G. A. K. of the United states. He was a member ol the Pennsylvania House of Bepresentatives in 1885-6. Since 18G9 he has been connected with the National Guard, and has been Ad jutant of the Sixth Begiment since 1877. Mr. Stewart was one of the commission to locate and establish the Pennsylvania Sol diers and Sailors' Home and afterward served as a member of the Board of Trustees of that institution, and as secretary of the commission.

The Decision In the bugnr Trnit Cnne Made Known to Wall Street Operators Fire Days Before Delivered John C Sheehan Bald to Be Implicated. rSPECTAL TELEGRAM TOTnBni8PATCH.l New YORK, June 25. A serious scandal is involved in the manner in which the decision of the Court of Ap peals upon the Sugar Trust was made public. There is no doubt among "Wall street men that the substance of the decision was prematurely made known as long ago as last Eriday to certain operators, who used the information to make the raid on the trust certificates, which broke the price on Saturday from 77 to 69. There were peculiar circumstances also con nected with the actual giving out of the de cision at Saratoga on Tuesday, and withal the officers of the Court ol Appeals are seriously compromised by the affair. Two or three prominent men at the head ot big "Wall street financial in stitutions were quoted yesterday as saying that John C. Sheehan, Secretary of the Aqueduct Commission, called upun them last Friday morning to negotiate lor the use of premature knowledge of the decision, which he claimed to possess. He is said to have desired in one case to induce the gentleman visited to operate tor their joint account in the market on the strength of the information he claimed to possess. It is reported that he was rather enrtly repulsed in two instauces, and that when he visited some prominent sugar people they refused to take any stock in his alleged m.ormation the names of operators who finally secured. The information and made use ot it in the market are not made public V00D00ISM IN THE SOUTH. A Deluded Victim Cats Down a shade Tree to Discover the Charm. New Orleans, June 25. That voodoo ism is not wholly dead in New Orleans is proved by" a suit recently brought against John Sandmaker, a railroad man living in this city, who has been in bad luck and bad health lately. A friend induced him to visit a fortune teller, who declared that he had been voodooed by an enemy. The charm was in a certain tree, she said, and until that tree was cut down, or the charm discovered, he, Sandmaker, would continue to suffer. Sandmaker went at once to his home at the corner of Claiborne and Fourth streets and began work on the tree. It was a tall magnolia. In the very heart of the tree, in the center of a mass of wood, the gri-gri charm was discovered toe nails and hair of the exact color and character of Sandmaker's these being the materials usually employed by the voodoos in bring ing bad luck on an enemy. The discovery created great excitement among the neighbors, particularly among the negroes. Next morning he was served with a war rant Irom the First Becorder Conrt, charg ing him with malicious mischief, sworn out by Mrs. Burke, who owns the houe in which he lives. The case, however, was settled in court without further proceedings. Sandmaker offered to make good any loss he might have caused, and Mrs. Burke withdrew the charge. THE EVERYB0DYJND0RSED. FULL TEXT OF THE STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. Protection nnd a Free Ballot Receive the Customary EuloaT Some Lengthy Opin ion Upon Stnte Taxation Payment or the Border Rnld Claims Demanded. Harrisbtjro, June 25. The following is the full text of the platform adopted by the Convention: Once more the Republicans of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, in convention assem bled, send fraternal greetings to their party brethren throughout the nation and congratu late them and ourselves npon the victory won inlS88bytbe purity of Republican principles and the patriotism of Republican citizenship. In keeping with the sympathy and the dnty of our party we maLe the following declaration of principles for the, betterment of political government and the benefit of our fellow citi zens: Wo believe that every lawful voter has the right to cast a free ballot at every public election, and have it properly counted and cer tified, and we call upon Congress to adopt such legislation as will prevent a suppression or falsification of the votes of our fellow citizens at elections for officers of National Govern ment and will end political slavery throughout the nation. Pensions for All Until They Die. Our care for the welfare of those who, npon the field of battle, carried triumphantly the principles of Republican faith will end only when the last loyal soldier of the Civil War shall have entered into his honored rest, and we ask Congress to grant a per diem service pet sion to every Union soldier and sailor who served in and was honorably discharged from the armv or navy of the United States. The claim which tho citizens of the border connties of our Commonwealth make npon the General Government for reimbursement for the loss they sustained in their homes and property at the hands of the enemy during the late war is one which national patriotism should respect and honor, and we urge uon our Congressmen the use ot every proper effort to have it quickly and completely satisfied. We Indorse tho taritt bill called the "McKin ley bill." in the form in which it was passed by the House of Representatives, and we de nounce the criticism passed upon tnat bill In the English Parliament as an unwarranted in terference by a foreign nation with the right of the American people to protect American in dustries, trrtn Protection Demanded for Everybody. We reaffirm one of the earliest principles ot our party when we declare that American workers should, like American manufacturers, receive national protection, and we request of the general Government the strictest enforce ment of the laws forbidding entrance into and the employment in this country of pauper and contract laborers of foreign nations. We urge upon Congress the immediate ne cessity of passing snen legislation as will pre vent the importation and sale of oleomargarine and of intoxicating liquors in this Common wealth, contrary to our acts ot assembly regu lating and restricting the same, and empower every State to enforce its local laws relating thereto in the manner ant in accordance with the intent and purpose with which they were enacted. Ballot reform is and will remain the watch word of our pany in every State, and we especially congratulate onr political brethren in New York npon the fact that although their Democratic Governor could deform, he conld not wholly defeat their efforts to secure a free ballot for every American voter throughout then- State. To,Provide for a Secret Ballot. We charge the members of the next General Assembly with the duty to pass snch laws, and, it necessity should arise, to provide for such chances in the Constitution of our State as will insnreto every voter perfect secrecy and freo dom In jxerosing bis right of suffrage. For almost 30 years the finances of this State have been under the contiol of our party. Dunne the time we devised a system of taxing corporations, which serves as a pattern for, and has been taken as a guide, by many sister States in their efforts to collect revenne for public purposes. We have paid off the debt which the Democratic party of this State cre ated during a time of peace; we have almost extinguished the debt which the Democratic party of the Southern States inflicted upon us during the Civil War, and years ago we lifted from the lands and homes or all our fel low citizens the burdens of State taxation. But the depression under which our agricul tural interests now suffer bas made the present system of taxation bear too heavily on tbein, and we therefore pledge ourselves to lighten that burden and as far as possible to equalize taxation. To that end, we recommend that the surplus Tevenue derived from State taxation oe usea to lessen me taxation now laid npon real estate for local purposes, bv applying It, so far as it will in legislative wisdom avail, to the increase of the appropriation for the support of the common schools, and to making appro priation for the care of the indigent insane, for the expenses of the jury sj stem, and of hold ing the generkl elections. Farther Taxation of Corporations. If thereby there should be necessity for en larging our surplus revenue, we favor a just and equitable increase in tho taxation of prop erty of corporations. We recommend that the local system of taxation be so reformed as to permit the taxation of money capital for local purposes to snch an extent as to enable the local authorities to reduce the rate ot taxation noon real estate to an equitable basis. We require of the General Assembly vigi lance in making appropriations of the public money, and of our charitable institutions re ceiving State aid the strictest economy in ex penditures. The phenomenal Increase in our population and of our commerce, foreign and domestic, with the decrease in the circulation of our Na tional banks, renders it imperatively essential to the general good. In our judgment, that there shall be a speedy and substantial increase in the currency of the country. Uncompro misingly hostile to monometallism, whether of gold or silver, and earnestly favoring the use ot both as coin metals, the Republican party of Pennsylvania demands the enactment by the Congress now in session of such legislation as will, while securing the fullest use of silver as money, most certainly secure and maintain a parity between the two metals. Indorsing tbe Present Administration. "We heartily indorse the administration of President Harrison and declare that its wise conservatism, its undoubted integrity and its manifest efficiency, deserve the unqualified ap proval of the n hole nation. We jrratef ully re cord the continued confidence of the Repub licans of Pennsylvania in the wisdom, integrity and statesmanship of the Hon. J. Donald Cam eron, our senior Senator at Washington, so emphatlrallj manifested in his past services, and we accept tbem as po-itive assurance of his faithfulness and efficiency in the future. For tbe chairman of onr National Commit tee, Mr. Quay, we feel a lasting sense or grati tude for his matchless services in the last Pres ldectal campaign and commend his bearing un der tbe slanders which hi successful leader ship of our party has purchased for him. As a citizen, a member of the General Assembly, as becretary of the Commonwealth under the two successive administration", as State Treasurer by the overwhelming suffrages of his fellow citizens and as Senator of the United States, he has won and tetains our respect and confi dence. We commend tbe course of the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, bpeaker of the National House of Representatives, in manfully preventing the obstructions of legislation and tbe waste of public time and money, and we tender him the congratulations and thanks of the Republican party of Pennsylvania. We express our gratification with the ad ministration of Governor James S. Beaver, and congratulate him upon tbe fact that bis course hasbeen marked by wisdom, integrity and that devotion to the welfare of all the people which will entitle him to the esteem and gratitude of the citizens of the State in all coming years.

EDITORIAL OPINIONS, VIEWS OF LEADING STATE PAPERS UPON THE TICKET. The Independent Jonrnnls Take Strong Ground Against Delamater Begulor Rrpnbllcan Sheet Usually Express the Most Unbounded Satisfaction. IPriCIAL TXLEORAM TO THS DIBrATCII.1 Philadelphia, June 25. In a long editorial on the nomination of Delamater the Times to-morrow will say: If tbere are those who assume that Delamater will be a weak candidate and easily defeated, they would do well to unlearn that leson as speedily as possible. Delamater is admittedly Quay's candidate, but he is much more than the mere reflex of Quay. Hastings, Stone, Montootb, Osborne and McCormick all songht and honed to be Quay's candi date, and all therefore stood npon equal ground with Delamater as Quay men, but Delamater is one of the two men of the contest who grew in stature every week during more than a year of con- stant trial. He and Hastings were tbe men' who started least known and sized np to every ocasionintbe conflict until they thoroughly enthused their friends and extorted the respect of their foes. Had Hastings been the favorite of Quay, as he hoped to be he would have been chosen instead of Delamater. but Delamater was the favorite of Quay from the start, and Hastings grew as a clever secondhand gave an inspiring climax to his greatness as his tall plume tow ered over tbe convention. Strongly Supports the Ticket. The Inquirer will say editorially to-morrow: , The Republican State Convention has made no mistake in placing George Wallace Dela mater at the bead of tbe ticket. He bas won his spurs fairly and honestly, after a con test with half a dozen candidates, any one of whom would have been an ornament to the party and an invincible standard bearer. It is no disparagement to tbe others that Ir. Dela mater has been selected. He made a brilliant canvass; he attracted the most delegates to his banner and he won. That tells thewhole story. Mr. Delamater will make a strong candidate and a wise Governor. His record is a good one. both in private and in public life, and his training in the Legislature will Drove valuable to him t as the occupant of tbe Governor's chair. No scars have been left by the contest. There are no sores to heal. Tbe rivals of Sena tor Delamater are no longer rivals. Thev stand together on the same Republican platform, and their votes and their voices will help to swell the Republican victory in November. Tbe nominee of the convention is the nominee of the people. The Choice for Second Place. The choice of Senator Louis A. Watres, of Lackawanna county, for Lieutenant Governor, is a wise one. Long service in the State Senate qualifies him for its presiding officer. He is well and favorably known, and the nomination comes to him with the good wishes of everybody. With Thomas J. btewart. of Montgomery, as the renominated candidate for Secretary of Internal Affairs, tbe ticket is complete. Tbere is a tower of strength in the platlorm, and the Republican party of the great Keystone State will jump into the campaign confident in its power to win by an overwhelming majority. The Press will say editorially to-morrow: The ticket nominated at Harrisburg yester day is one which all Republicans can support. That it is tbe strongest which the convention could have submitted to tbe people we don't be lieve, bnt a majority of 0,000 is mighty and must prevail. That Senator Delamater will make an able and efficient Governor no one questions. The opposition to him was based almost wholly on doubts of his ability to rally the full Republican vote. Now that tbe convention bas, in a manner, resolved these doubts, we look to see all the candidates and their friends turn in and give him their hearty allegiance. A Democratic Utterance. The Record will say: In the nomination of Hon. George W. Dela mater as tho Republican candidate for Gov ernor Senator Quay bas obstinately pushed through his programme to the end in spite of warnings from friends and threats from enemies. Senator Quay knew full well that if he should abandon Delamater he wonld lose a large body of his own friends who would accuse him ot weakness while he conld not conciliate his personal foes. He preferred, therefore, to take the chance of being defeated with bis party In November to being beaten by the party In Jnne. From the standpoint of a practical poli tician and pany boss with whom personal con siderations are always paramount, there is no doubt ot the entire correctness ot this de cision. In the contest before tbe people the qualifications or demerits of Mr. Delamater, whatever they may be. will probably be as little in issue as they were before the nomination. But whatever may be tbe personal merits or demorits of Mr. Delamater these will all be overborne by the one consideration that he is the candidate of Chairman Quay. The question is whether Mr. Quay, as a party boss and spoils distributor, shall fill at his sovereign will and pleasure the high and honorable office of Governor of Pennsylvania with one of his favorites. THE TIDE OF REVOLT. Signs Now Much More Apparent Than In the Year 18S2. rSPECIAI. TXLSGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.! .Beading, Pa., June 25. The morning Herald to-morrow will say that the nomina tion of Delamater was forced npon the Re publican party in tbe face or a protest such as has never been heard in its history. The signs ot revolt at this stage of the proceed ings are much greater than in 1882. It is doubtful whether even with the political acumen and sagacity that Quay is reported to possess, he can stm the tide of revolt that will begin to-morrow. All Shoulders to the Wheel. rSFECIAI. TELIOltAM TO Till DISPATCH.! Erie, June 25. The Dispatch will say to-morrow: "Tbe nomination is what we have predicted for some time past, is a ju dicious selection, and all loyal Republi cans will put their shoulders to the wheel and assist in rolling up the usual majority at the polls next November." WHITE AND BLACK. Trouble Brewing; Betvrecn the Races In South Carollun. ISFECTAL TXLIOIIAM TO THE DI8PATCH.1 Columbia, S. C, Jane 25. There is trouble between the races near Bamberg, in Barnwell county. It began on Saturday, when a party of negroes took a boat belong ing to a white man and went fish ing, after being ordered not to use it. When they returned the negroes were set upon by the whites and one of 'the white men was injured. Two nights ago Bobert Hearse and a number oi his friends went to the house ot the negro who appeared to be the leader of the party. The negroes were in ambush near the house, evidently expecting an attack, and fired upon tbe whites, eight of whom were wounded, but none dangerously. The negroes then fled. Joe Glover, sup posed to have been in the party, has since been captured and severely whipped. It is expected thatif those who took an active part in tbe shooting are arrested there will be further trouble. A NOBLE'S SON POUND BEAD. The Son of Wealthy Parent Suicides Be cause of-Poverty. Philadelphia, June 25. Victor de Bules, said to be the son of a distinguished German connt, was found dying in his room at a boarding house in this city this after noon, a suicide. De Bules came to this country about ten years ago. He was an expert chemist, but had lost his position. The room in which the man died was handsomely furnished. A search of his clothing showed that at tbe time of his death he had just 1 cent. DeBules had told his landlady that his father was a wealthy nobleman in Germany. George Bancroft -erlonly III, SPECIAL TELLOEAM TO THE BIS PATCH. 1 Newport, R. I., June 25. George Ban croft, the noted historion, is very feeble and fears are entertained that he will never recover. THURSDAY, JUNE 26, TALKING AND YOUNG Continued from First Page. man beeded the call. Through storm and ob struction he reached the crest of the Alle ghenies and saw what was the horror-wonder of the world. The General's Work at Johnstown. There he went and there he worked, saving tbe living fromlhemselves and gaunt starva tion; succoring the wounded and giving to the mangled and dead a Christian burial in that blood-washed valley of the Conemaugh. Going to the wrecked city a humanitarian, he re mained an indefatigable Christian worker, and when the work had been done and succor and relief had been f ully extended, he returned to his home a modest hero and tbe people's candi date for Governor. Applause. He is a man who. from penury and poverty has worked him-elf into the very front rank of tbe foremost men of the conntry, and who has, withal, preserved his personal honor unsullied and spotless. Fellow citizens, we should nom inate a candidate whose success does not de pend upon whom or how the enemy may nom inate applause for two minutes: for whose public record no apology or explanation is re quired, and whose private life will stand scrutiny the most exacting. General Hastings' history bas been -studded by trials, by hard work, by privations, by tbe kind of crucible that tried and tested the lives of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield. Mr. Chairman. I name to this convention Daniel Hartman Hastings. There was a magnificent outburst, with flags, hats, canes, fans and arms swinging in the air when Mr. Orlady finished. The old axiom was evidently repeating itself. The applause was one man's, while the nomina tion was another's. W. J. Shaffer, of Del aware county, seconded the nomination of General Hastings. He said he was proud to take part in the glorious task of this con vention. No State can boast of such a galaxy of Republicans as this grand old Commonwealth. "" A Comparison of Meado nnd Quay. He recalled Gettysburg with the great Meade, and years afterward, when the man hood that saved tbe country again needed a leader, they found him in Matthew Stanley Quay, who reinstated the Bepublican party in power. Coming from a Hastings man this was a direct line thrown out for votes favorable to Quay. Shaffer contended that Hastings' name was synonymous with a great event. In the greatest calamity of modern times, the Johnstown flood, the fin ger of destiny pointed to a leader of men. The stricken Conemaugh Valley was demor alized, chaos reigned everywhere. General Hastings stepped to the front, martial law was declared, and be became the ruler, not only in a military sense, but one whom the people respected and loved to obey. After the Johnstown flood he was the people's candidate for Governor. The young men asked for this man; his name is an in spiration to them. He is a candidate that will set Pennsylvania on fire. Mr. Shaffer proved to be an able colleague of Lawyer Orlady. He is young, full of fiery eloquence and dashing in style. Undoubtedly the Hastings people possessed the orators of the day. Osborne's Philosophic Oratory. Alfred Darte, of Luzerne connty, nom inated Congressman Osborne. His remarks leaned toward philosophy, finally coming out of tbe darkness of metaphorical illum inations with tbe statement that this con vention is the opening of the campaign of 1892. He sketched the military and civic history of General Osborne, which he declared wa's equal to that of any Pennsyl vanian. The nomination was seconded by C. T. Halsey, of Wilkesbarre, who pleaded for the recognition of soldiers. Not much noise was made over the nomination of Mr. Osborne, (or ttlie reason that his delegates were few andfhat the contingency of a com promise candidate was out of the question. Mr. Halsey retired to the rear, and Chair man Lyon observed Major "William C. Moreland, of PJttsburg.standing on the floor with uplifted hand. "Mr. Moreland, of Pittsburg," announced the Chairman. A request came from tbe body of the House that Mr. Moreland go upon "the plit form so he could he better heard. The genial City Attorney complied with this in vitation, and as he faced the audience a murmur seemed to run over the surface ot faces as thought something good were ex pected. Beginning in his usual manner the Major allowed his flow of eloquence to gradually rise until he had enchained the attention of every man present. He cap tured the audience in an entirely different way than any preceding speaker had done. Tbe Jkl!lfat Rhetoric of Moreland. Orlady's fierce manner and burning decla rations had aroused the people to boUterous ness, but Moreland's skillful rhetoric, fall, musical voice and commanding appearance made a decided impression another way. He perhaps had the most attentive audience of any of the orators. He said: Gentlemen of the Convention: Such a splendid andience; snch ar'are and matchless occasion should command a power ntterly foreign to me. I can best commend myself and the canse and the man I have the honor of presenting to this convention at this time by extreme brevity. I am admonished by the speeches which have been made that I am left an exceedingly barren field, one in which the reaper cannot gather and he that bindeth the sheaves shall not garner the grain. I shall not consume your time in an effort to imitate the brilliant and almost matchless oratory to which you have bad the pleasure of listening this afternoon, nor seek to challence your attention by pointing you to that grand old State of Allegheny and presenting geographi cal considerations tolhis convention. i'ou have met in an interesting and an im portant time. You have come to the bar of lodgment and tbe bar of conscience in a mass, lour work begins to-day, our's after the sun shall have gone down to-night, and to-morrow breezes from tbe Delaware to the Ohio waft tbe name of the man who receives your votes. You are to present to us a man equipped for the high office. No invidious companions should move you against conscience and judg ment, but if they all be equal in the splendid manhood presented to yon ibis afternoon, then if tbere are geographical considerations you ought to enter Into, 1 may then have tbe pleas ure and tbe privilege of presenting tbem. Do you want a Governor in the prima and full blossom of manhood? Do you want a scholar who finds recreation with bis books? Do you want a lawyer wbose indefatigable industry has helped him to forge to the fore front of his Erofessiou? Do you want a man devoted to is home, devoted to ,Jis country and true to his God? A man whocausc of birth, educa tion and impulse, desire and motive is an Ameri can from head to foot. r His Record as a Soldier. Do you want for Governor a man who, when hi3 heart was yonng and his brain had scarcely formed the future of the man. who, when ha beard the roll of the drum and sound of tbe cannon, took upon his shoulder a musket and marched to the front, knowing but tbe unsul lied flag and tbe life of the nation? Do you want a man who when atmed treason sum moned the loyal North to that contest infinitely blopuicr than Marsalla's bloody field, was among the first to respond to his country's call? Do you want a man whose deeds upon tbe field have crowned him for his chivalry, whose efforts as a citizen has endowed bim with dignity, education and honor? If yon want that man you have bini with all tbe qual ities that I have described, in tbe person of Edward A Montootb, of Allegheny. Ap plause. When this party can stand at the head of the roll call of our country, let me ask you to turn your eyes .to the western slope of the Allegbenies. Lee me .isk you for a moment when ynu are passing to'keep before your eyes the grand old State of Allegheny, which has for over 100 yearkeptin the lore front of tbe nation's progress; that has never gone wrong; has always stood by tbe grand old Republican party, tbe very birthplace and home ot which ix, is, and to-day stands before tbe world as the banner Republican county Df tbe nation, and yet bas never in its history been honored with the Governorship of Pennsylvania. Is tbere nothing f orAlleghony county, with ber 20.C0O majority? God forbid tbat a single un kind word should be uttered against any man. Allegheny county could not be anything but loyal to tbe Republican party Without being 'false to her laitb, false to her history, false to her conscience, false to her people and false to her industries; but in tbe name of tbe county, in tho name. of fair play and justice, I ask for her recognition of wnat she bas been and what she will be. She bas a strong claim upon this convention. I take pleasure in presenting to you the name ot that brilliant and accom plished man. the peer of many and"tbe fireside companion," as Cicero said, "of the very purest andtbe best" Edward A. Montootb. Ho becond to ihu Nomination. ,It had been originally intended tbat J. IV Taylor, of Washington county, would sec ond the nomination of Major Montootb, but 'for some reason this arrangement fell through. There was no second, the fact causing more or less comment.. , W. E. Eice. tf Warrea county, Jnext gotj 1890. the floor to nominate Charles W. Stone, of his county, for Governor. His speech was commonplace, simply being a biographical sketch of his favorite candidate. The sec ond address for Secretary Stone was by all odds more able. It was 'delivered by ex Congressman Brown, of McKean county. He said : To-day is as cool as manufactured ice com pared with some of tbe days we will have to passthrouata before tbe ides of November if we are not careful of what wo do here this aft ernoon. Every man who is a candidate bas a right to urge his claim". I like a fight, but I want to be sure tbat I have a real enemy in front of me, not one that is simply put np to knork down again. It would be better for some of these men who are so anxious for tbe offlco if tbey wonld wait till the clouds roll by. I am here to second the nomination of the most quiet candidate in the field,one whom you never hear from as making a racket. There is no question of bis election that is beyond all doubt. He is already in the Gnbernatorial chair. All you have to do Is to repeat bis name to-day in an official way. One of the Dark Horses. Congressman McCormick, of "Williams port, was placed in nomination by Emerson Collins, of Lycoming county, in an address entirely eulogistic of McCormick's record in the National Honse of Bepresentatives. Collins was another oratorical novelty, being a mere boy in appearance, actually only 27 years old. He was chuck lull of vim, how ever, and made quite a bit. A buzz now broke out in the audience. The last candidate had been named, add tbe people hoped that balloting would be com menced. Chairman Lyon announced that the convention was ready to proceed with business. It took Secretary Leach some time to get his rolls in order, and by the time he was ready the teeming multitude below was in a perfect nuroar. Tbe Chairman rapped for order and when it was lound that Leach had his pencil ready for work the people became quiet willingly enough. In a few minutes the still ness became as impressive as the noise was lond a khort time before. The counties were called in alphabetical order, beginning with Adams connty, taking Allegheny county second, but not reaching Phila delphia county until pretty well toward the end. Interest In Allegheny and Philadelphia. This, of course, divided the interest, be cause it was realized that much of import ance was centered on both what Allegheny and Philadelphia counties had done, and as one was at the beginning and the other at the end, it prolonged the interest in the roll call. On the first ballot every Allegheny county man voted for Montootb. The Philadelphia delegation was reached amid breathless silence, and it was re membered by everybody what the boasts of the night before had been as to tbe strength of Delamater and Hastings in the delega tion. When the thirty-ninth name from Philadelphia had been called it was found that from the Quaker Citv Delamater re ceived 13 votes; Hastings, 24; Montooth, 1; Stone, 1, thus tallying pretty closely with tbe conservative estimate given in The Dispatch. "Wire pulling began in earnest when the last name on the roll was called. State Chairman Andrews had been keeping a private tally of his own, so that he knew the resnlt long before it was announced. Frequently he compared it with a private memoranda book. He wrote two telegraphic messages and sent them flying'to the tempo rary office of the telegraph company. Mes sengers came flying in at every door. Through the main entrance several well known politicians bustled down among the delegates in the parquet. The air was reso nant with the buzz of voices. Lots of per suasion was being used. The Result of the First Ballot. There was no election on first ballot, the votes stinding Delamater, 84; Hastings, 61; Montooth, 30; Stone, 15; Osborne, 8; Mc Cormick, 3. The Chair announced that 204 votes had been cast, and that 103 being required to elect, tbere was" no nomination and the con vention would proceed to a second ballot. Plenty of sensation was expected on the second ballot, and intense excitement pre vailed when Secretary Leacb began calling the roll of delegates. Only four names had . been called when"a change came o'er the spirit of the dream." B. "W. Gilliford, of the Second District, Allegheny county, voted for Delamater in stead of Montooth. "W. J. McDonald's name was called next, and he replied, "Del amater." There was no cheering at this, but a sort of a suppressed jeer came down from the left hand gallery. The Hastings people were, however, afraid to hear the Allegheny county delegation continned,bnt as Leach called, "J. O. Brown," the re sponse came, "Montooth." McCandless was next called. He stuck to Montooth; also, Mr. McCleary stood by his gnns, and Harry Bvram answered, a trifle londer than usual, "Edward A- Montooth." This restored confidence. The break had evidently not yet come, or else the scheme had missed fire. G. Hering, Flynn, Forging, Foster, and even Jqsiah Speer, remained staunch to Montooth. Lyon Breaks Awny to Delamater. The next name called was that of Walter Lyon, of the Seventh district, the Chairman of the convention. He replied calmly and deliberately, "Delamater." Somebody tried to raise a cheer, it was cried down, and a distinct hiss prevailed among the specta tors of the upper gallery. Lyon did not let it appear that he heard it. John S. Bobh and Nathan S. Williams concluded lor the Allegheny delegation with their votes for Montooth. Seventeen counties were called in order, but no changes were noted, but when Delaware county was reached, E. S. Hickman, who had voted for Stone, now voted for Delamater. A few minutes later Louis Armstead, of Fayette county, a Houtooth man, on the first ballot voted for Delamater. It began to look as though the stampede was begin ning. Iu Lehigh county G. G. Blumer dropped Montooth and, took Hastings. Finally Philadelphia county was reached and the clerks took a fresh drink of -ice water before they entered upon their ab sorbing task. Six names were called before any change occurred, then W. J. Pollick, of the Sixth district, announced Delamater as his choice instead of Montootb. J. S. McKinley changed from Stone to Dela mater, D. S. Scott from Hastings to Dela mater. Al Shields and John T. Baird both deserted Hastings and took to the Crawford county boat. So did George J. Elliott. The Beginning of the End. As each man voted yell after yell rent the the air. People raised on their feet, chairs were cast aside on the stages, benches upset and the stamping of feet began, continuing to such an extent that the clerks ceased their work until order was restored. It was evident from tbe enthusiasm ot the Delama ter forces that the break in the Philadel phia ranks had been most disastrous to Hastings' interests. In Somerset county J. Swank voted for Delamater instead of Os borne. Altogether Montooth lost three delegates in Allegheny, one in Fayette, one in Le high, one in" Philadelphia, three in Wash ington and one in Westmoreland. Stone carried his own and contiguous counties on Hie last ballot with two ot the Washington delegates, Messrs. Taylor and Thompson. Osborne and McCormick retained Luzerne and Lycoming counties to the last. The second' ballot resulted as follows: Delama tar, 99; Hastings. 61; Montootb, 20; Stone, 16; Osborne. 5; McCormick, 3.

Then Foster, of Luzerne, passed from Os borne to Delamater, and a Lycoming man jumped from McCormick to Delamater. Greene county's delegate changed from Mon tooth to Delamater. Six of the Philadelphia delegates jumped from Hastings to Dela mater and one Fayette delegate flopped from Montooth to Delamater. A Delaware man went from Stone to Delamater, and a Franklin man from Hastings to Stone. Hastings gained one in Lehigh and one in Luzerne, while Delamater took one from Hastings in Pike, two from Osborne in Somerset and one from Hastings in Union. Corrected by these alterations, the final official count was as follows: Delamater, 105; Hastings, 58; Montooth, 19; Stone, 15; Osborne, 4; McCormick, 2. Mr. Flinn, of Allegheny, seconded by Watts, of Cumber land, and Shaffer, of Delaware, moved to make the nomination unanimous, and it was carried with a rush. The convention was now in a pande monium, and recess was taken until 7 o'clock. L. E. Siofiel. THE HARR1SBURG TICKET AS VIEWED BY THE REPUBLICANS OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.

TStlOBAM TO TOT DISrATCt Indiana, June 25. The news of Delamater's nomination, while not expected, created much feeling. Re publicans as prominent as ex-Sheriff Daugh erty, A. S. Patton, T. E. Hildebrand, and many others declare to-night they can not, see how they can support him. The majority of Republicans in this vicinity op posed Delamater at the election of dele gates, and they are more bitter now than they were before the primaries. A leading Republican says to-night that this county will give a majority for Patti son if he is the nominee of the Democratic party. Another says tbe Bepublican ma jority in November will not exceed 1,500. The Delamater Republicans are saying very little and will not give an opinion. They seem fearful of pro voking new antagonism, and while they do not seem to fear the result in November they are evidently timid. If what these people say now is ad hered to throughout the campaign it is thought Senator Quay's harmony scheme is a failure in Indiana connty. nantlngdon Expected It- rsrxciAi.TXLiOBa.i to thx Disrjnon.1 Huntingdon, June 25. The nomina tion of Senator Delamater for Governor was regarded by the local Republicans here as a foregone conclusion, and consequently awakened no outward manifestation of en thusiasm. The local Hastings adherents, who were all along the most vociferous of any of the various candidates' followers, had strong hopes of the Adjutant General's suc cess, and they are naturally much dejected. There is a slight feeling of disquietude among the Hastings men here, but it will not outlive the November election. Ko Bolters at Unlontown. tSFICIAL TKLIOEAM TO THB DISPATCH. I TJniontown, June 25.

Resolutions were offered by Shields, of Philadelphia, in relation to rules; by John Elkins, ol Indiana, in relation to resolu tions, and by Williams, of Allegheny, lay ing out the order of business, Dave Lane, ot Philadelphia, moved lor a committee of seven on contested seats. '""Humes, of Center connty, immediately renewed his objection, when it was cut off by the chair, who said that when the report came from the commit tee it could be discussed. Hastings Not Given a Show. Oa this committee but one Hastings man was appointed George Orlady, of Hunt ingdon. Then a recess was taken for com mittee work. The Committee on Contested Seats is understood to have had a lively ses sion, and it was not until 12:45 that the convention reassembled to hear its report. The committee reported in favor of seating the five slated delegates and its report wa3 accepted with a considerable minority vote against it. The Committee on Organization re ported that it had selected Walter Lyon, of Pittsburg, Permanent Chairman, with the following vice presidents, temporary secre taries being continued: W. J. P'ollock, Thomas Smythe, John A- Gwinner, George J. Elliott, Samuel E. Cavin, Alfred Gratz, John Mundel, Wilbur F. Sharp, John S. Rogers, P. W. Minster, Jesse F. Bechtel, William O'Brien, B.

James Coburn, of Center county, and W. W. Brown, of McKean, county, being the appointees. Tbe Enit and the '.Vest. As Walter Lyon stepped upon the plat form Mr. Graham took his hand, and in transferring the chair to the president-elect, spoke of the significance of the East and the West Philadelphia and Pittsburg clasp ing bands as typical of wnat support the ticket should receive in the result of this convention. Mr. Lyon spoke in substance as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: Allow me to thank you for tbe honor In call ing me to preside over your deliberations. I accept it, not only as a recognition of tbe great county of the West which gave Harrison, for President, over 20,000 majority, and was called by Abraham Lincoln tbe atate of Allegheny, but as a recognition of tbe younger element in tbe politics of this State. Our deliberations so lar have been very pleasant, and I sincerely hope that they will continue as pleasant. The result of this convention is anxiously awaited by tbe people of the State and by tbe people of the whole nation. The Republican party is a party of progression. It is ready to consider and act on all tbe great questions of tbe times. This convention is composed of men of all trades and occupations, coming from tbe various sections of the State, and I am reminded of tbe various interests of Pennsylvania and of the effect of the utter ances, of this convention. Tbe Republican party, during its SO years of life, has for a majority of the time been in control of this State. By its careful management of tbe finances tbe great war tax is almost removed, and we are now ready to take the step for equal taxation. Before the day is ended we shall place in nomination a man for Governor who is in every way fitted to occupy the execntive chair. Tna contest bas been heated and close, but all the candidates would honor the Governor's office. No matter who tbe nominee may be. tbe de feated candidates will all support the nominee, and the West will join hands with the East to triumphantly elect him. A Sadden Change at Heart. It now seemed as if the convention was ready to get down to busineas,-but some thing quite unexpected happened. Pre viously, when a recess of half an hour had been taken to let the committees perform their duties, some person bad pro posed an hour and a half recess. This was -objected to verv strongly by Mr. Graham, who ruled that the order of business already adopted had fixed simply half an hour. But now, although it was only 11:15, Mr. Gra ham no sooner left the platform than ha proposed to take a recess until 1 o'clock for dinner. Some of the delegates called his attention to the fact that he objected to wast ing time before, and the proposition for such a long recess met with cries ot "No" irom all parts of the house. A vote was quickly put, and, in spite of the fact that a plain majority on a viva voce ballot voted against the motion to adjourn'' Chairman Lyon declared it carried. It was quite plain the adjournment was necessary lor some purpose. Once out on the street, the delegates very quickly found that it was . the attempt of Mayor Fitler,of Philadelphia, to reorganize the delegation lor Hastings hat caused the trouble. The Philadel phians were somewhat panic stricken, and the Delamater people were afraid to let pro ceedings go on until the trouble was fixed up. Had an adjournment not taken place it is hard to tell what might have.occurred. L. E. Stofiel. ALL EXPECTED IT. NEWS OF DELAMATER'S NOMINATION AT WASHINGTON.

So many Re publican members of Congress from Penn sylvania are out of tbe city this evening that it was almost impossible to find one from whom to get an opinion in regard to the Pennsylvania nomination. Those who conld be found were unanimous in their belter that Delamater will poll the usual Republican majority. Colonel Bayne said: "Of conrse, as I have favored the nomination of Delamater all along, I am rejoiced at his vic tory, but 1" am not surprised. I was well aware that he had strong lead all tbe time, which conld have been made stronger had it been necessary. Delamater is a brilliant young man, who has already won his spurs, and he will make a good and popular Governor." Representative Scull said that it was a foregone conclusion that Delamater would be nominated, and so none of the defeated candidates could be greatly disappointed. Delamater would doubtless be elected by a gocc ofl-year majority. M" Culbertson said he would have been astonished had the convention made any other nomination. Delamater had worked up his own canvass thoroughly, and this, with,, the knowledge that Senator )uajavoreb! i,im, was enough to give him g -found majority. There was no doubt of his nomination, l , Thenice ot several Democrats who were sen was unanimous tbat it was all Quay's dcjng, and the people of the State would nr,w see whether the kicking Republicans f 10 professed such antagonism to the Sen- or would make good the protests at tha 'Is, 1 'i 4 1 J J f I - 4 "m.:. flTBJHJHHHHHKyHB
