Mr. Wright spoke briefly. Committees on permnnent organization, credentials and resolu tions were chosen, aud the convention then took a recess, HAKBITY'S SWAY SUPREME. During the recess, the oommittees on credentials and resolutions beid secret bnt lively meetings. The cre dential committee took up the contest from the fourth district, Allegheny and settled the matter "by unseating the sitting delegates, J. J. McCabe and P. Melnerney, who were denomi nated as being "against the state ad ministration," and seating George S Fleming and T. M. Brophy, the con testants, who are favorable to Mr. Harrity. A. G, Crosby, of Erie, who subsequently nominated Mr. Hilling for lieutenant governor, was chairinuu of this committee. When the commit tee met It was agreed that nono but contestants and their witnesses would be heard. William J. Brennan, the Allegheny county chairman, who was also a mem ber of the committee, tried in vain to make a speech in behalf of Messrs. Mc Cabe and Melnerney. He then begun a tirade against "the ontrageous pro ceedings," bnt finally apologized for bis rude remarks and gave notice that he would submit a minority report to the convention. Mr. Brennan made a motion that the contestants and the sitting delegates all be admitted to the convention and that tbey be give a half a vote each. This was r j cted by a vote of 45 to 5. PLATFORM TOUGHS. The committee on resolutions en gaged in a somewhat heated dispute over the ninth plank of the platform which was characterized ns an attack upon the American Protective associa tion, The plunk originally read: "We re-assert the old Democratic doctrine of equal rights and religious liberty, we are opposed to all secret political organizations which strike at freedom of conscience, and we declare that no party can justly be deemed national, constitutional or in accordance with American principles which is animated by a spirit of politicel proscription or religious intolerance." T. F. Emmons, of Easton, a mem ber of the resolutions committer, object-id to the wording of this portion of the platform. He declared that the reference to secret organizations was likely to be misconstrued and might cause feeling among Democrats. Mr. Emmons held that if the resolution was aimed a. any particular organization, it should sty so direotly. He moved that all after "religious liberty" bo strioken out, bnt his motion was de feated. The outcome was the omission of the words "secret political," sad in this form the plank, with the balance of the platform, was submitted to the convention. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. The committee on credentials was the first to report when the convention reassembled nt 2 :25 o'clock. A majority report recommending that contestants Fleming aud Brophy be seated was presented and carried, Mr. Brennan's minority report in favor of Messrs, Mc Cabe and Melnerney being defeated. There was a quarter of an hour's heated debate in the convention over tbii matter. The committee on permanent organization recom mended that Attorney Geueral William U. Hensel, of Laue oaster, be elected as permanent chair man of the convention and that the other temporary officers, with the ex caption of Mr. Wright, be continued. & 111 111 WILLIAM M.

The applause which greeted tho attorney general must have been gratifying to him for it was niven In a generous quantity. Mr. Henwl ad dressed the convention at length. When Mr. Hensel had couclnded the committee on resolutions, through the chairman, Arthur G. Dewalt, of Le high, reportod tho platforro.which was accepted. In addition to tho platform, given below, this reference to Presi dent Carnol's assassination was read by Mr. Dewalt aud adopted: The convention sincerely deplores tho death of th e president of the French re public and desires to emphasize its sym pathy with the endeavor to perpetuate Democratic principals in foreign lauds,aud it hereby condemns all tendency to an archy and asjassiuatiun.

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE, Resolutions Adopted at tne Denver Meeting Silver and Female Suf frage Favorably Considered. Denver, Col., Juno 27 The Na tional Liague of Republican clubs this evening adopted the following resolu tions! Tho representatives of tho National League of Republican clubs of the United States iu convention assembled at the cap ital of the centennial state throw their heads iu sorrow and humiliation at the spectacle of incapacity which the Democra tic preeeuts to our country and deplores the calamities which the giviug of power to the present administration has brought upou our people. We congratulate the American people that this administration wus compelled by public opinion to abandon its un-Amei icau Hawaiian policy. In contrast with the ehamef til record of the Democratic party, we exult over tho record of glory which tbo Republican party has made. Its achievements and its triumphs extending over thirty yeurs establish it as tho most masterful, enlightened uud prudeut or ganization that has ever exited. In tho face of present disaster to our country, it is with increased solemnity that wo once mori renew our allegiance to the Republican party and proclaim its cardinal principles. We believe in a free ballot aud u fair count and we demand stiph legislation as will lusure to every citizen the right to cast one free ballot iu any election and to have that ballot justly count' d and cast. It is a noteworthy fact that the Democratic party lii congress consistent iu notning else was uuauiiuous on tho repeal of the federal electiou laws, thus openly confessing the party of fraud. We declar.i our belief in the doctrine of protection to American labor, American industries aud American homes. We also believo in such reciprocal trade with nations us will increase tho market for the products of onr farmers, factories, forests aud ininoi without in creasing the competition which tends to lesson wages aud degiado our labor. We denounce the proposed vicious and destruc tine legislation known as the Wilson bill aud flarue-lly appeal to liepublican Uuited Kates senators to oppose its passage by all honorable means. Wh believe in the uso of gold and silver as money metals, malu talued on a perfect parity aud inter -convertibility, We do uot believe that thero will be a permanent return of prosperity to our country until tbo full use nud high est position of silver shall bo restored and we favor such legislation as will bring about this result. The Republican party is the constant friend of the toldiers and sailers of the Unlou. The pledges of the Democratic Jiarty to tho defeuders of tho republic be ore election was false and fraudulent and have been shamefully disregarded since election. Wo condemn unsparingly the treatment now accorded the helpless, mained and crippled defenders of the flag and to the widows nud orphans of our dead patriots as uufair and cruelly unjust. We are most heartily in favor of the prompt admission into the Union of the terri tories of Utah, Now Mexico. Arizona aud Okloboma, and we condemn the policy of the Democratic administration iu exclud ing aud depriving theui of their rights. We demand that new safeguards be in corporated in our immigration and nat uralization laws to movent unworthy im migrouts from landing on our shores and obtaining citizenship. We ngeiu commend to the favorable consiiK-iatiou of the Republican clubs of the.Uuited States, as a matter of education, tho question of .grunting suffrage to wo men. We congratulate tho women of Colorado and Wyoming on their possession of the elective franchise, anil wo cordially invite their co operation lu the work f rescuing the country from Democratic and Populistio misrule. President Tracy was re-eleoted as president of the Republican league of clubs today. A. B. Humphrey, of Nebraska, wus re-elected secretary. Cleveland was chosen as the next place of meeting and the convention adjourned siue die. HOTEL JERMYN CONTRACT LET. Conrad Schrneder, the Successful Pld dsr, Will Begin Work at Oaoe.
