HASTINGS FORCES CONFIDENT
They Are Not ia the Least Disturbed
by the Senator's Eisggerated Estl-mates-The
District Conventions
Pass Off Without Friction.
Philadelphia. Aug. 21. Conventions
to nominate candidates to the Reputill
flces and for delegates to the Republi
can state convention at Harrlsburg on
next Wednesday were held today. The
county convention excited little Inter
est, as ttiey were of the cut and dried
order, end the delegate conventions
absorbed all the attention, aa upon the
result of their action there probably
hung the mastery of the Republican
party leadership in 'Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia has twenty-eight legis
lative districts avd t'hene tavnty-elght
districts rend seventy delegates to the
rtate convention. Of the result of the
convention in ith?se districts, as they
bear on the Quay-Hastings fight, con
siderable doubt and confusion exist.
Roth sides are claiming several dis
tricts, and In two of them. he First
and Fifth, there was a spilt, and two
conventions were held, and two sets
of delegates elected. The estimate of
seventeen delegate for Senator Quay
made In these de&patohe last night
f?enn to be about the right number,
and the victory appears to rest with
him. as he was originally conceded
only ten delegates by his opponents.
The Hastings leaders tonlg-ht give to
Mr. Quay but fifteen delegates, but
tacitly admit 'that at least seven dele
gates are in the doubtful column. The
Hastings 'Waiters claim they have won
what they expected, but the claim of
victory seems hardly borne out by the
results. Mr. Quay ha.s undoiUbtedly
carried the Second. Third, Fourth,
Sixth. Seventh, Eighth. Fifteenth.
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth dis
tricts, although 'the HafMngs people
claim th"? Third and Sixth, and thus cut
off two delegates from his -seventeen,
and figure out but flrteen for him. B-side
the seemingly assured seventeen
votes, the Quay estimate is one piti
able, five contested and two pledged
delegates, which claims. If borne out.
will give Quay twenty-five votes from
Philadelphia In the Plate convention.
The "probable" delegate is William B.
Ahern. of the Thlrtnth ward, who was
one of ths nominees today for a county
office. The contested delegates are
from the split conventions In the First
and Fifth districts, and the two
"pledged" delegates are from the
Twenty-first district.
Hastings People Not Disturbed.
The .Hastings leaders, however, ap
pear undisturbed, and are as confident
of victory as they were weeks ago.
The conventions today were not marred
'by any "trouble of consequence, and the
bitter feeling between the two fac
tion was confined "within bounds. The
six city and county convention's made
the folowlng nominations: Judge com
mon pleas court. No. 1, Craig Blddle;
district attorney. George S. Graham;
caty controller. John M. Walton; coro
ner. Samuel H. Ashbridge; recorder of
deeds. William M. Geary: clerk of quar
ter sessions, court,, William B. Ahren.
All the above, wltfj the exception of
Geary, are the present incumbents of
the offices for which they were nomin
ated today.
Lycoming County Republican Convention

COLISEUM CAVES IN.
Chicago's Immense Show Building Ooes
Down at a Lucky Time.
Chicago, Aug 21. The coliseum build
ing, a great open structure, which was
being erected by the Chicago exhibition
company on the block bounded by Hope
and Srtomey Inland avenues, and Sixty
third and Sixtyi-Pffior.id streets, was
wrecked tonight at 11.30 o'clock by the
collapse of the Iron roof. If the disas
ter to the building had occurred a little
earlier there 'would have been great
los of life, as over half a hundred men
had just quit work for the night. They
had been installing the electric light
ing for the opening of the big show
building,. September 2, with Barnum &
Bailey's circus. So fa as known at
thte hour there "was no one killed by the
accident. When the massive arches of
Iron began to break loose from their
fastenings on the four sides of the
structure the strain was too much for the
thin, low walla of pressed brick. With
a deafening sound the mass of iron car
ried with It the four walls tn a chaotic
heap towards the centre and the Work
of destruction was complete.
The cost of the coleslum was to be
$225,000, and as 'it was n earing comple
tion for the opening show the lorn is he
lei ved to be neaVy $200,000. The sire
of the colleeum la known to all World's
fair visitors as the site of the Buffalo
Bill's Wild West show, opposite the
fair grounds.

Slaps the Cleveland Administration
by Demanding a More Rigid Enforce
ment of the (Monroe Doctrine.
Springfield, O.J Aug. 21. In spite of
James B. CampVelkf earnest and re
peated protests (hat hts friends must
not nominate hi$n as the Democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, as he
could not make It he race for various
reasons, the ex-governor was put at the
head of the tlqket by acclamation
against hi will tay by the 800 dele
BUtee tto Itlv f5- convention. The
nomination was ftfred upon the Hamil
ton county man nvhlle he was in the
midst of a speech, and In the act of
presenting the jiutie of Judge Peek, of
Cincinnati, for tlii same honor. Then
came a graceful .acceptance and the
rest of the ticket iwas made up on the
acclamation order).
Senator Brlce wpn his point of hav
ing only a reanirntatlon of the national
currency plank Inserted in the platform,
"sound money" winning by the sound
majority of 255 wfoen the free silver
amendment to the platform was put to
the convention, the vote being 625 to 270
against the adoption of the free coinage
plunk.
The Platform.
The platform was' short. After the
usual prefatory paragraphs of congrat
ulation and denunciation the platform
came directly to the financial question.
The financial plank follows:
We reaffirm the following portion of the
seventh plank of the last national Demo
cratic convention: "We hold to the use of
both gold aind silver as the standard
money of the country, and to coin both
gold and stiver as the standard money of
the country, and to coin both gold and sil
ver without incrimination againtit either
metaj or charge for mintage, but the dol
lar unit of coinage of both metals must
be. of equal Intrinsic and exchangeable
value or be adjusted by International
agreement or by such safe legislation as
shall assure the maintenance of the party
of the two metals and the equal power of
every dollar at all times In the payment
of debts, and we demund that the paper
currency shall be kept at par with and
redeemable in such coin." We Insist upon
this ipollcy as especially necessary for
the protection of farmers and laboring
classes, the first and most defenseless vic
tims of unstable money and fluctuating,
currency.
Wrangling Over the Monroe Doctrine.
The platform was signed by nineteen
out of twenty-one members of the com
mittee. When the silver if sue was out
of the way General E. B. Finley, of
Bucyrua, created a diversion by sub
mitting another plank to the platform,
viewing with alarm the armed invasion
by Great Britain of a friendly country
and insisting upon fhe enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine. The chair ruled
that the s-eaohuiea erte net be eoneteV
ered. In the different forms this de
cision was challenged in all parts of tha
house. After a prolonged parliament
ary skirmish, the resolution was put
upon its passage as an independent
motion.
Opposition was offered by John F.
Follette of Cincinnati, who declared
that they were not there to intimate
that they had no confidence in the
Democratic administration. If any
necessity erosu for the enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine there waa no
doubt that Orover Cleveland would
enforce It.
President Ingalls, of the "Big Four,"
warned the convention against tack
ing planks to a regularly prepared
platform, but ex-Governor Campbell,
In a few vigorous remarks, carried the
convention with him. He asked his
hearers If they would spit upon the
ancient Monroe doctrine or affirm it.
There was no intention of flouting the
administration of the greatest of living
Americans. Ten years ago, and again
a year ago, through Mr. Bayard, this
country has warned Great Britain to
keep its hands off the South American
republics. Congress had passed a
resolution to the same effect, but on
the other side of the Atlantic they had
sneered at that resolution. They had
smiled with contempt when It said
that the Monroe doctrine should be re
spectedl The resolution was simply
Intended to notify the Incoming con
gress that the people demanded legis
lation that would drive Great Britain
out of Venezuela, and that they were
not prepared to lay down and allow the
British Hon to put his paws on them.
The resolution was put and carried
with a whoop.
Then nominations being In order the
nomination of the ex-governor wars
sprung upon him, and seeing that he
could do nothing else the ex-governor
gracefully accepted the situation, and
the remaining nominations followed in
quick order, each being made without
a contest. The remaining nominations
were aa follows, all being made by
acclamation: Supreme Judge, Will
lam T. iMooney, of Auglaise; state
auditor, James W. Knott, of Mansfield;
state treasurer, W. T. Shober, of Gal
