All was harmonious at the Republican
League Convention in Philadelphia. The
platform, after dwelling on matters of na
tional importance, touched the scheme
of a canal from the rivers in
Western Pennsylvania to the lakes.
The douments which it is believed Senator
Emery intends to bring out in his charge
against Delamater have been made public
ItrECIAL TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Philadelphia, September 23. This
morning long before the hour appointed
for calling the Republican League Conven
tion to order the delegates began crowding
into the Academy, and by 10 o'clock every
seat in the lower part of the house said bal
cony was filled.
The Athletic Band, led by Hairy "W.
Gramlick, opened the ceremonies by the
rendition of Sousa's rjiarch, "The High
School Cadet," and then President Stuart
walked to the front of the stage and was
greeted with round after round of applause.
He delivered his annual address, speaking
in substance as follows:
Booming Delamater.
The object of our meeting is the adoption of
Each measures as will insure the success of Re
publican principles in the November election.
It is for yon to determine how that purpose
shall best be secured. That the clubs are a
great aid to the party is admitted; that they
will work in harmony with party organization
is understood, and that the results will be satis
factory there is no doubt. Our standard
bearer is a friend to protection and American
labor. His opponent being a representative
Democrat is the enemy of protection. The
question is not whether Mr. Pattison or Sir.
Delamater be elected, but it is a fight between
Republican and Democratic principles, and
should Mr. Pattison succeed, his will not be a
personal victory, bnt a notice that Pennsyl
vania has cut loose from her political moor
ings. Never has success depended more on
our efforts than now. The present CoDgre'S
has transacted more business of interest to the
people than any other Congress for several
years. It has passed a tariff bill and a pension
bilL
Breezy Banners.
Daring the speech the Pittsburg delega
tion took three banners up to the stage amid
great applause. The banners contained the
following inscriptions: "The State of Alle
gheny is married to the Republican party,
and is true to her marriage vow. For 3G
years we have famished the majorities for
Eastern candidates. "What will yon do for
our favorite son of the "West? Allegheny
County is good for 15,000 majority for Hon.
George W. Delamater and the whole State
ticket."
After some unimportant routine business,
a recess was agreed to until 2 o'clock. After
the baud had discoursed a few popular airs,
preliminary to the afternoon proceedings,
the Pittsburg Glee Club, a sextet of song
sters who were delegates to the convention,
was introduced by "Bob" Lindsay, the Sec
retary of the League, and proceeded to
warble a campaign ditty.
A Bunt of Dlnslc
The song, which recited the prophecy that
the Republican party would triumph in
November, was received with great en
thusiasm, and especially the chorus which
ran in this way:
"Won't we have a time. Oh, won't we have
4 time:
With a brass band blowing march away.
We'll march around the blocks, nut our
ballots in the box
For Delamater on election day."
President Stuart called the meeting to
order after the Glee had responded to a
couple of encores. It was then announced
that the Committee on Resolutions was
ready to report and JI. J. O'Callaghan read
the result of their deliberations. The reso
lutions heartily ratified the National and
State platforms of the party, and indorsed
the national and State administrations. The
Republican nominees for State offices were
eulogized as gentlemen well fitted to per
form the duties of the offices for which they
have been named, while the alleged cam
paign of abuse carried on by the Democ
racy was condemned. The league was es
pecially complimented for the fact "that the
entire State ticket is made np of members of
the league.
(coring the Democrat!.
The platform goes on to ay: While
heartily indorsing the general work of the
Republican members of both branches of
Congress, we desire to give special com
mendation to the genius and courage of
Speaker Reed which rescaed the House from
the control of Democratic filibustered whose
only purpose was obstruction. The action
of the two Houses of Uoncress which made
it possible to reach, despite Democratic
obstruction, the McKinley bill, should at
the proper time be applied, and if necessary
strength used, to the end that the Federal
elections bill may be'speediiy passed.
The document concludes by calling the
attention of Congress to the importance of
the project to connect the western rivers of

families of those who lose their lives in such
service.

Dear Dick Quay has it In his head to make
Delamater his candidate for Governor, but it
will ba driven out of his head by the time the
next Legislature adjourns. The Republicans
of the Senate will quietly sit down on the
verdant bnt ambitious yonng man. I want
you to write me to 115 Sheffield street, Alle
gheny City, what interest It was Delamater sold
to the Standard or forced the Standard to
take as the price of his support or rather oppo
sition to the Bllllnesly bllL I think it was in a
Meadville gas company. Quay told me all
about it but I have forgotten the farts, bnt
remember the amount was 165,000. Quay came
to Harrisburg to help pass the bill and I
agreed to help, but be told me next day
of the scene he had with Delamater,
who frantically declared it would ruin him,
if the bill passed and gave Quay the actual
facts as to bis interest; that, and a dispatch
from McManes induced Quay to chance his
mind. I voted against the bill because Joshua
Rhodes and nearly every manufacturer in my
district petitioned me tp do so, and no one
asked me to snpport iL Regard this as sacred,
as if told you at Madame Thierry's in Paris,

Oil Producer Not In Line for Delamater
A Srpnbllcan Paulson Club in the OH

rftFECIAt. TELEGRAM TO TBB DIIPATCBM
Bbadfobd, September 23. Ex-Senator
Lewis Emery, Jr., last night sent out a
manifesto to the press in answer to charges
made against him in some of the papers
which support Delamater. It was claimed
that Mr. Emery always looked out for bis
own interest and a number of influential oil
men were supporting Delamater. Mr.
Emery, in response, denies that the names
mentioned as supporting Delamater carry
any influence to speak of beyond their
own vote, and cites a list of about 250
prominent Republicans of Bradford and
vicinity who, though prepared to vote for
the Republican Congressional and local
nominees, support Pattison for Governor.
Mr. Emery further claims in his address
that seven-tenths of the oil producers will
vote for Pattison; that two-tenths will not
vote at all, and that one-tenth will prob
ably support Delamater. He submits the
following paper, with the names, as proof
of the correctness of his position.
In view of the fact that the nominee of tho
Republican party for Governor, during his en
tire public career, has shown no disposition to
accede to the rights and wishes of the people
of the oil country, but on the contrary took
special interest in opposing all measures that
they wanted; and In view of the fact that be
was the champion of the Standard Oil Com
pany in its fight against the "Billingsley bill"
and was solely responsible for the defeat of
that measure; and while we are ardent ad
herents to the principles of the Republican
party, we now deem it to be our dnty, by all
honorable means, to prevent his election to the
Executive chair of this Commonwealth.
Having the utmost faith in ex-Governor
Robert E. Pattison, inspired by his manly and
upright course while serving the people as their
Governor, during which term of office he per
sistently fooght all efforts of corporate power
to usurp the rights of the people, we, the sub
scribers hereto, are readv and willing to form
ourselves into a "Republican Pattison Club."
and pledge ourselves to do all in our power, by
honorable means, to accomplish his election:

After anxious waiting Mr. Sweeney, of
Iowa, showed up in the House and was joy
fully greeted by the Republicans, while
Milliken, who came later, was hissed for re
maining away. Enough members were at
last present for a quorum, and the colored
contestants, Langston and Miller, were
seated.
rFBOX A BTAFI1 COBnSSrONDElfT.J
Washington, September 23. After
thirteen wasted days the Republicans of the
House have at last succeeded in seenring a
quoruoa of their own members, and the first
use to which they put it was to seat two
negro Congressmen, Langston, of Virginia,
and Miller, of South Carolina.
Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, represented
the Democratic party of the House to-day,
being the only member on the right side of
the aisle during the whole of the proceed
ings on the two election cases. Before the
House met the Republican leaders were
counting upon having a quorum if Mr.
Sweeney, ol Iowa, returned, as he had an
nounced he would. When the prayer was
over the question passed from mouth to
mouth, "Is Sweeney here?" Sweeney was
not there. The roll call on the approval of
Friday's journal was long drawn out. One
hundred and fifty-five Republicans voted in
the affirmative and one Democrat voted in
the negative. There was no quorum.
Sweeney had not come.
CHEEBED THE PBODIGAL.
A call of the House was ordered. Just as
the roll call was begun someone cried:
"Sweeney comes." There was a burst of
applause. The prodigal walked down the
aisle. Four Republicans threw their arms
about his neck at the same time. Others
tried to hug him, but could not. If they
could have killed a fatted calf, they would
have called it O'Ferrall. One member
shouted to another: "Sweeney has come."
They put a ring upon bis finger and shoes
on his feet, so to speak, but Sweeney did
not make a quorum.
A little later Milliken camo in for the
first time since the Maine election, and there
was an evident disposition to reprove him
for staving away so long. This was mani
fested by the hisses with which he was
greeted as he walked down the aisle. But
his advent made the quorum, and he was
forgiven a moment later for that reason.
The work of unseating Tenable was then
quickly performed, and the-negro Langston
was led down the aisle by Mr. Haugen, of
Wisconsin, amid prolonged cheerintr. and
sworn in.
MILLEB IS SEATED.
Then came a chorns from the Republican
side, "Call up another case," and, in re
sponse, the Miller-Elliott case of South
Carolina was taken up. There was no
debate; the resolution declaring Miller
entitled to the seat was adopted without a
division, and the whole thing accomplished,
in just 13 minutes. Dnring the roll call
the vacant 'Democratic seats were again
photographed. Miller was not present to
take his seat, being now in South Carolina
trying to have himself elected chairman of
the State Republican Committee.
There will be no other election case
brought up this session. There are four
still unacted upon by the House. These
are the Alderson case in West Virginia,
one case in Florida and two in Mississippi.
In the two latter cases the Democratic con
testees will hold their seats, and in the two
former the Republican contestants will be
seated., They will be disposed of next ses
sion. AIMING TO GET EVEN.
The Democratic minority was considera
bly vexed over the result of the day's pro
ceedings, and a call for a caucus was cir
culated with the purpase of endeavoring to
unite the party, by way of retaliation, upon
a policy of treatment of the conference re
port upon the tariff bill, which would re
quire the Republicans to maintain a quorum
of their own members to dispose of that re
port. But, owing to the lateness of the hour
and the small attendance of Democratic
members, the attempt to caucus was tem
porarily abandoned, although it was stated
that it would probably be renewed to-morrow.

sheets has been retained, as has also the
House rate of two and a half cents per
pound on anvils. The Senate amendments
to the hoop and cotton 'tie schedule have
been adopted. Colonel Bayne said to-night
that he should make an effort to have the
steel billet provisions changed so as to make
them less injurious to that branch of indus
try. In the glass schedules it is understood
that the rates in the House bill have been
retained in nearly every instance. There is
talk that a new classification in window
glass has been adopted, but tit is impossible
to obtain the particulars to-night.
The big fight between the House and
Senate is on the sugar schedule. No posi
tive action has yet been taken on this mat
ter, although, as a compromise, the sug
gestion that sugars up to No. 14 Dutch
standard shall be admitted free and that the
date for the schednles to go into effect be
changed from March 1, 1891, to April 1, is
SEPTEMBER 24, 1890.
receiving the attention of the committees.
Such a compromise would have no practical
effect, but would be a Senate victory and a
clear defeat to the free sugar men of
the House. The Senate's proposition,
It will be remembered, was to place
on the free list sugars up to
No. 13 Dutch standard, which includes only
unrefined sugars. The House proposition
mattes sugars free up to No. 16 Dutch stand
ard, which includes refined sugars for table
use. To make the free limit No. 14 would
still shut out refined sugars, and would be a
compromise, only on paner. The Louisiana
delegation in Congress this afternoon at
tempted to obtain a hearing before the com
mittee to explain that settling the date at
March 1 would cause a loss to the Louisiana
planters of trom ?2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in
the marketing of the present crop, but it was
met with the statement that no hearings had
been granted to any interest, and no excep
tion could be made to the rule.

fSPECIAI TELEOKAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Lebanon, September 23. A very daring
attempt to rob the People's Bank here was
neatly frustrated by the shrewdness and
prompt action of an observing young lady
who lives just opposite the bank. Cashier
Woomer had just left, and Assistant
Cashier Elmer F. Haner was alone behind
the desk in charge. His first visitor was a
short, thick set, strange man with a dark
beard, who asked a number of green ques
tions about sending a draft to some neigh
boring town. The next man to enter was a
tall person, also a stranger, who, seeing that
the assistant cashier was engaged and ap
parently being in no hurry, stood in the
middle of the floor, opened wide a large
newspaper, and seemed to be reading some
thing from its inside pages.
The third man of the party, who had also
come in, was a slightly built young fellow
with a smooth face. The latter's movements
were completely hidden from the cashier's
sight by the tall man who stood up holding
the, newspaper. Suddenly the young man,
unseen, dropped upon his hands and knees,
and crept around the counter toward the
open vanlt of the bank and to where Assist
ant Cashier Hauer was sitting. The young
man had a sand club in his hand, probably
to knock Mr. Hauer unconscious, but before
he got near enough a young woman briskly
entered the bank. The tall man with the
newspaper turned sharply around, still
holding the sheet so that the lady could not
see in the direction of 'the cashier.
"What do you think of this picture?" he
boldly asked, and then quickly added:
"Some one is calling you from the opposite
side or the street."
The young woman quickly stepped away
from the roan and newspaper,shrieking"They
are robbersl There's one sneaking on his
hands and knees; look out, Elmer, tbey
mean to kill you!" Cashier Hauer quickly
turned, seized his pistol, and the next mo
ment the three would-be burglars boldly
dashed for the door and escaped, since which
time nothing has been seen of them. The
young lady was Miss Hauer. the cashier's
sister, wlu-lives opposite, and who saw the
strange men acting suspiciously and she
watched them, and thus, in all probability,
saved many thousands of dollars to the
bank.

Denvee, September 23. Mr. Sykes.'a
wealthy and highly respected insurance man
of Kansas City, fell in love at first sight
with 'Miss Minnie Richards, a very beauti
ful and highly accomplished yonng lady of
this city. There seemed nothing in the way
of a most happy marriage but the girl's
stern uncle and an obdurate mother. They
had chosen James Cameron, a minister's
cay son, lor the young lady, whom
she did not like. Failing to turn
the girl's mind from her Kansas City
adorer, they locked her in her room and
took her clothes from her. She is said to
have been a prisoner of this kind for the
past two months, until last Wednesday
nichL Tn some was she managed to keep
up a correspondence with her lover. Her
guardians discovered this, and, after taking
away the treasured epistles, were more strict
than ever in watching the girl.
Last Wednesday Miss Richards, slightly
clothed, managed to escape from her room.
She ran to the home of a friend, where she
is now safely ensconsced. Her relatives se
cured the services of a detective, whose
efiorts to locate her were without avail.
She notified her lover, bnt he was sick in
bed in Kansas City and has just recovered
enough-to respond to his sweetheart's ap
peal, being now on his way to Denver, and
when he gets there will immediately marry
the girl.

LOCKPOBT, N. Y., September 23. Clif
ford Allen, son of the well known broker,

of 18, astonished the social world hereabouts

in examining the distressed portions of Ire

tion to England of the condition of the Irish
peasantry.
fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, September 23. Mr. Morley is
working very hard in Ireland to learn the
exact state of affairs, as a basis for argu
ment and active measures for the relief of
the distressed portions of the country. He
is making a minute inquiry into the condi
tion and prospects of the peasantry in the
distressed districts in Connemara, and
spares no pains to make his investigation
very thorough. He drives for days together
on the outside of cars in all kinds of weather,
and devotes himself absolutely to the work
in hand.
Mr. Morley's course is in marked con
trast with the reckless ignorance of Mr.
Balfour and the heartless carelessness of the
Castle people and the Tory officials. En
gland will be very glad to listen to his report
and to recelye some unbiased and reliable
information, as distinguished from the
purely Irish reports, which Tories persist
in doubting and the malicious misrepresen
tation of the Conservative authorities and
newspapers.
Mr. Parnell desires to wait until after the
trial of Dillon and O'Brien to see whether
it will still be possible for them to go to
America, believing that delay will not
affect the object of their mission. His
health will not permit him to make a per
sonal visit to America. Mr. O'Brien has
made what sounds like a sensational state
ment, but may be true, to the effect that he
has reason to believe on good English au
thority that the life sentence of John Daly
for connection with a dynamite plot was the
result ol a police conspiracy in Ireland.
He believes that the confession of the chief
constable Avho was concerned in the affair
has been sent to Mr.- Matthews, the ineffi
cient and bungling Home Secretary of Lord
Salisbury's Cabinet.
