In before an armistice had been
reached to keep out the wuay followers,
were dismissed by Roger 0Mara, su
perintendent of the Pittsburg police
department, who had them in charge.
This was done becuuse of un agree
ment reached by conferences of the
respective factions early this morning
to admit no one to the convention out
side of the delegates, contestants ana
newspaper men.
Oovernor Hustings, with his Phila
delphia henchman, David Martin, was
oil? of the Hint delegates to enter the
hall. Senator Quuy followed shortly
afterward, and when he huJ taken hi
seat as a substitute delegate for U. H.
Corpus, of Heuver county, he divested
hlniHelf of his coat, and oat in his shirt
sltfve. Tim crowd cheered when the
senator took off his oout. apparently
for the purpose of going to work. The
heat In the auditorium as the delegates
were gathering was Intense and every
article that could be pressed Into ser
vice for use as a fan was eagerly seized
by the coat less throng. The eonven
tlon was without the usual brass band,
but the party hurnumy that vrns mani
fested was more acceptable to the dele
gates than the strains of a band of nu
slciuns would have been.
Convention Floor Cloarcd.
It was with dltllculty that Chairman
Gllkeson succeeded In Inducing; persons
who were not delegates to clear the
convention lloor und occupy the gal
leries, but this was finally accomplished
and one of the galleries was tilled with
several hundred men. Including membrs
of th state committee. The atmosphere
In the hall by this time reached uu al
most torrid warmth, and Oovernor
Hastings vigorously used u fun which
contained an inscrlptoln to "Keep cool
and vote for Quay." When Chairman
Ullkesou had called the body to order.
Secretary Fetterolf read the call for
the . convention and the secretary re
called the roll of delegates. Senator
Quay was substituted for D. R. Corbus
as a delegate from lieaver county, and
Congressman W. A. Stone took the
place of Delegate F. J. Lorrence, of
Allegheny county.
The call of Governor Hastings' name
us a Center county delegate was loudly
applauded, us was al-o that of Mr.
Quay. Congressman John U. llobln
son was substituted for delegate Qulg
ley, from Delaware county, nnd ex
State Chulrman Thomas V. Cooper ap
peared for Delegate Whipple, of the
same county. All of the 2SS delegates
responded to their names, and then
nominations for temporary chairmen
were called for. -Speaker of the Penn
sylvania house of representatives,
Harry F. Walton, an administration
leader, presented the name of Colonel
Henry Hall, of Pittsburg, and Senator
Quay followed with the name of Con
gressman John IS. Robinson, or Dela
ware county. Kx-State Chulrman
Cooper, a Quay lieutenant, seconded
the nomination of Robinson amid great
applause, and pleaded for harmony.
At this point Chairman Gllkeson
called Cooper to order and asked upon
what motion he was speaKing. coop
er replied that he wa seconding a
nomination in proper order. The
chairman then relented and the ex
chalrman proceeded.
First Peace Offering.
When Cooper was growing eloquent.
Senator Quay surprised the assem
blage by slowly arising from his seat,
which was but two rows behind that
occupied by Governor Hastings, and
approaching the governor. The sena
tor extended his hand, and the governor
being taken by surprise, warmly
grasped. iMr. Quay then whispered
something pleasant In Governor Hast
ings' ear and they smiled simultane
ously.
The delegates accepted this maneuver
as a peace offering, and the cheering
was teriinc. Cooper was abruptly
stopped In his speech by the occurrence
and he ceased talking soon after he
had been allowed to resume. Frank
Willing Leach and A. D. Fetterolf were
appointed tellers, and the call of the
roll on the first test of the rival fac
tions was begun. Hall and Robinson
voted for each other. Allen, of North
ampton, and the three Northumberland
delegates voted for Kobinson. provok
ing the first cheering on the call. Rob
inson received IS',4 of the Philadelphia
votes, the five contesting delegates
from the First and Fifth wards In that
city being allowed a half vote each.
This rule also applied to the Wyoming
county contestant.
The convention was on the tiptoe of
expectancy while the vote was being
taken, and when the secretary re-announced
163 2-3 votes for Robinson and
133 1-3 for Hall, the Quay men cheered
wildly. This made a total vote of B97.
which was announced through an error
of the tellers. There could only be 28
votes in the convention, but the six
contestants, who were given a half vote
each, were counted as whole votes.
Oiioy's .Mojorlty.
Quay's majority, however, was 30 1-3,
the fraction resulting from the election
of three delegates In the Second district
of Berks, where only two should have
been chosen. The two votes were di
vided among the three, and one of them,
H. Miller Kauffman, voted for Quay.
It was first blood for Quay, and was
In reality the settlement of the faction
al battle In his favor.
Cheer after cheer was given when
Colonel Hall moved that Robinson be
chosen by acclamation, and there was
uproarious applause when Governor
Hastings seconded Hall's motion. The
election was made unanimous, and
Chairman Gllkeson appointed Messrs.
Hall and Cooper to escort the success
ful candidate to the chair. Another
round of cheers greeted Robinson's ap
pearance on the stage.
The temporary, chairman did not
make a speech, but simply thanked tint
convention for selecting him and do
clared himself ready for business. Sena
tor Quay made a motion, which was
seconded by Congressman Stone, that
the committee on permanent organisa
tion be Instructed to report the name
of Governor Hastings for permanent
ohalrman of the convention. It was

and Congressman Stone presented a

Senator Quay's Resolution.
' a .len?.r Q,mr then7 1 pre
sented the following resolution, which
lutloEs' the con,mlttc n reso-
Reaplved, That we decry the growing
?,m2?Ti? Pa."tt0 ,h ccVporate
C,?troi, efr-jlatures, municipal coun
cite, political primaries and clectionsTand
the enforcement of laws to correct such
abuses. We earnestly insist upon a rorm
of civil service whloh will prevent the en
slavement of public officers and employes
and the compelling of those appointed to
preserve the peace to confine themselves
to their duties, which will ensure absolute
freedom and fairness In bestowing state
and county and municipal contracts, and
will punish any form of favoritism In
granting them, which will forbid the grant
of exclusive franchises to deal In public
necessities, comforts, conveyance and
sanitary requirements and will ensure the
recognition of ability and fidelity In the
public service, keeping! service to the
country ever foremost when accompanied
by ability and fitness.
We demand that public office should be
for the public benefit, and Its term In
subordinate positions should be during
good behavior. No public employe or of
ficer should be permitted to Influence pri
maries or elections nor, upon any pre
tense, to be assessed upon his salary, and
all unnecessary positions and salaries
should be abolished aud expendltuies and
taxation reduced; there aitould be a uni
form basis of valuation of property tor
publo purposes; corporations enoying
public privdeges should pay for them and
schools should be u.voreed from politics
and kept absolutely free from political in
fluence and control. .
Legislative Representative Rlter. of
Philadelphia, presented ' the financial
plunk from the last national Republi
can convention, which was also sent
to the committee on resolutions. State
Senator Penrose moved that during the
deliberation of the committee, the con
vention proceed to' the nomination of
candidates. Congressman Stono sec
onded the motion. District Attorney
Schafer, of Delaware county, asked for
unanimous consent for the election of
a permanent chairman In order that the
business of the convention might be ex
pedited, and Speaker of the House of
Representatives Walton made a simi
lar request. The plea was In vain,
however, for so busy were the delegates
In selecting members of the usual com
mittees that they paid no attention to
the speakers. It wua decided thut as
confei-rees 'had agreed upon the roll
of delegates no committee on creden
tials was necessaiy. During a lull In
the procedlngH at thin stuge. Chairman
Gllkeson held a conversation of several
minutes with Senator Quay, and It soon
became known Hint Gllkeson would
move the Heft ion of Quny to the state
chairmanship by acclamation.
A Pica for the Rivets.
The committee on permanent organi
sation was then announced with T. I
Kyre. of Chester county, as chulrman.
The committee on resolutions organized
with District Attorney George S. Gra
ham, of I'liliudelphlu. us chairman.
Mr. Graham offered a resolution re
questlug the government to appropriate
money for the Improvement of the Del
aware river, aud Senator Quay u mend
ed the resolution by including the Ohio
river. The resolution then went to the
committee.
Chairman Kyre, of the organized
committee, formally reported that
Governor Hastings had been agreed
upon as permanent chairman, and the
temporary chairman npolnted Sena
tor Quay and Chris L. Magee, of Pitts
burg, to escort the governor to the
platform. The-trio were cheered long
and loud as they marched down the
aisle.
A spirit of harmony now prevaded
the heated convention hall, and the
already enthusiastic delegates became
nolser than ever. The cheering con
tinued until long after the governor
had reached the chair. I'pon taking
the chair the governor sntd: "Gentle
men of the convention: I thank yon
most sincerely for this great honor.
The weather is too warm. 1 will not
make a speech. I may. however, say
that the recent events in the Republi
can party of Pennsylvania prove the
saying that electric storms have the
effect of clearing the atmosphere, nnd
we reserve the cyclone for the free
trade and debt creating Democratic
party."
Haywood Nominated.
The resolution committee not being
ready to report, Chairman Hastings
culled for the next order of business,
and Colonel Henry Hall mounted the
stage aud placed the name of Uenjamln
J. Haywood, of fiercer county, before
the convention for state treasurer.
Colonel Hall made a brilliant speech
pledging unanimous support to the
candldales of the convention, recalling
the unprecedented Republican major
ity that was given in Pennsylvania last
November for Governor Hastings, and
paying a tribute to the worth and Re
publicanism of Mr. Haywood. There
were no other nominations and Mr.
Haywod was chosen by acclamation.
Senator Quay, in a brief speech, then
presented the names of the six Republi
can members of the Superior court for
nomination. The Judges were appoint
ed by Governor Hastings on June 11,
and the senator moved that they all he
selected by acclamation. The senator
declared that this action would result
to the best Interests of the party. The
nominations were made as Senator
Quay requested.
At this Juncture State Chairman Gll
keson was substituted for a Bucks
county delegate. His purpose was
manifested, as he had already been un
derstood, when he spoke as follows:
Mr. President and gentlemen of the
convention: It is perfectly evident to
my mind, after the vote that has been
taken, what the result would be if a
vote was taken upon the question of
the state chairmanship. I therefore,
In the interests of the party harmony,
and for the purpose of continuing that
spirit of peace that niv friend, Senator
Cooper, alluded to and with Perfect
contldence in surrendering the reins of
me management of the Republican
party to the hands of Colonel Quay, I
withdraw as a candidate for state
chairman."
A Regular l.pve l east.
The delegates outdid themselves
when Mr. Qilkesnn hod concluded, and
the scene was the most Impressive of
the forenoon. Men shouted until they
were hoarse, and hats, canes and hand
kerchiefs were waved frantically. The
love feast was now at its height and
the perspiring participants forgot the
extreme heat In giving expression to
me narmony programme. Congress
man Stone, of Allegheny, took the tdat
form and seconded the nomination of
Mr. Quay.
Congressman Robinson next made
a statement that was of Interest. It
was eulogistic of Mr. GllkeHon. the
sneaker declaring that the retiring
state chairman had satisfactorily ex
plained all matters tinder dispute dur
ing the late fight.
Mr. Robinson said he desired to pub
licly state that no touch of discredit
lingered about the skirts of Mr. Gllke
son. Senator Qnsv's Election.
Mr. Quay was then elected by ac
clamation. There were loud calls for
a speech from the junior senator, but
he shook his head negatively, and,
arising from his seat, simply said: "I
will endeavor In the campaign now en
suing to make It a campaign of merit."
A gavel made from the wood of a
rafter In the house, - In Washington
county. In which James M. Ulalne was
horn, was Informally presented to
Chairman Quay by Governor Hast
ings, It having been sent to the gov
ernor for that purpose by a Washing
ton county man named Wood.
After a somewhat lengthy wait, the
committee on resolutions reported the
platform, which was read by District
Attorney Grahnm, of Philadelphia. Be
fore he proceeded, Mr, Graham ex
plained that the platform had been
adopted by a majority or the commit
tee against the protests of a large ma
jority. State senator t'enrose arose
And slated thai. It was not the prac
tice In parliamentary procedure to ex
plain the action of a committee, but
Mr. Graham said he mailn the exnlana
Hon at the request of the minority tn
order to avoid ft minority report. Con
gressman Dalzcll, another member of
the committee, said It was Impossible
to consider the platform properly be.
cause of the noise In the upper gal
lery where the committee met.
After this discussion the platform
was read as follows:
Th Republican party of Pennsylvania,
fn convention assembled, maxes the fol
lowing declaration of principles:
W accept unreservedly the determina
tion eminolated by the Republican na
ttonal convention of 192: that we demand
the use of both gold and silver money
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legisla
tion, as will aeoure the maintenance of the
parity of statue of the two metals so that
the purchasing and debt ipaylng power of
tne aoiler, wneiner ui nuvvr, boiu vr pa
,. ahail at All times be eaual.
FaJthful to the ReoublVan party, and
believing It to be the settled doctrine of
the party tna-l in nonor oi ins nauon ana
the interests of its citizen require th
molntBna.noe of a national currency. verv
dollar of which, whether In gold, silver
or notes, snail or statue vaiue ana or
equal purchasing power, this convention
hereby declares Its opposition to tho de
basement of tho national currency by th
admission or silver to rrew ana unlimited
aoinac at th arbitrary ratio of 16 to I..
We dtclar our continued adherence to
tho protcctlv policy which haa ba so
sturdily rhajmoloned for ona liumlri
years by the great men of our state and
uf our nation, and to the acceptance of
wnn.-a puncy oy ii HepuDiicaa party th
country owe all tha urousritv It h.. .
Joyed during the last thirty-flv years.
" m natai upon in passage oi suca legis
lation as will secure the restoration and
maintenance of this policy without quali
rtcatlon or abatement. We charge ih
Democratic party, under Mr. Cleveland'
leadership, with the Precipitation ulMjn tha
eoumry tn the year IfcM of th most disas
trous inuusiriai and nnanciat panto in our
nisiory, wnicn was caused by the open
threat of Mr. Cleveland ta ,Imv ih.
protective policy, and by the fear that
other radical and destructive, legislative
changes would be attempted under th
sain leadership. The country has had an
obect lesson in dastructive statesman
ship which It wtll not soon forget. We re
joice that th scheme of President Cleve
land and other free trade leaders to In
flict upon the country the Infamous Wil
son tariff bill as passed by the house of
representatives was defeated in tha lin'led
States senate. One year ago a tariff bill,
which embodies substantial although not
complete concession to the protective
policy, became a law without the presi.
dent's slgnulure. Such measures of pros-
pi-my na 1110 uouiury rujuya lotiuy IS ullo
to the rndh-al changes made by the United
Stales senate III th Wilson bill and to tha
subsequent election of a new congress
pledged to resist the Cleveland free trade
policy.
we tnank tne Republican members of
the house of representatives from Penn
sylvania for their activity In exosliig the
destructive character of the Wilson tariff
bill as passed by the huupe of representa
tives, ami we thank the Republican sena
tors from Pennsylvania for helr efficient
help In securing Us defeat. Kspeclully do
we thank Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
for his heroic resistance to the ti ll
throughout many weary months, leading
tho Republican opposicon to its enact
ment, and finally, compelling the Demo
cratic majority In the senate to agree to
the substitution of many prntuctlve du
ties for fts free trade provisions. We
charge upon the liemocratle party the
present condition of the federal treasury,
which presents a constantly growing de
ficit In its receipts as compared with ex
penditures, compelling the purchasing of
money In large amounts at exorbitant
nremiiims In fines of peace to maintain
the credit of the government. For two
years the Democratic party nas nan com
plete control of the executive branches
of the national government, and they
failed utterly to put sufficient revenue to
meet the ordinary wants of the govern
ment. For this failure Its resimnslhlllty
Is absolute, and it has exhibited to the
world such Inability and faithlessness In
the discharge of high trust committed to
Its care that its history continues to ex
cite the contempt and distrust of all
thoughtful cltlxens. ...
We favor the adoption of a fixed and
well considered policy for the permanent
betterment of the highways of the stute
so tlist the meiins of communication by
private conveyance between the farms of
the slate and the neighboring markets
shall be Improved by our citizens. We
continue to demand the enactment or such
legislation as will prevent the emigration
of paupers, criminals and persons In
capable, either physically or muntully, of
self support, and we Indorse the bill that
passed the house of represents tives pre
pared and Introduced bv our distinguished
comrrcmnn. Hon. (Vllllnm A. Stone.
We commend the splendid admin stra
t!on of Governor Daniel H. Htlngs.
which hns fullv Just'tted the confidence In
him of the voters of the commonwealth
as expressed In the enormous majority
gven him last fall.
The final plank was the resolution of
fered by Senator Quay, relating to
civil service and municipal reform.
The plank beginning "Faithful to the
Republican party." etc., was embodied
In the platform as an amendment after
the committee had reported. It was
previously offered In the onventlon by
Mr. 'Rlter. but was killed In the com
mittee. Mr. Rlter again called It up
and Congressman Dalzell. of Pittsburg,
made a speech In support of It. The
plank was attached to the platform af
ter Senator Quay had agreed to Its ac
ceptance. The convention adjourned sine die at
2.48 p. m., the last act being the adop
tion of resolutions endorsing Governor
Hastings Administration and the work
of Slate Chairman Gllkeson and the
resolutions urging tho government ap
propriation for the Improvement of the
Delaware and Ohio rivers.
Secretary Rex. of the state commit
tee, stated tonight that the composition
of the committee has not yet been made
up. It will not be announced, Mr. Rex
said, for several days.

BIG DEBTS A BARRIER.
Newfoundland . May Not Gat Into tho
Dominion of Canada.
London, Aug. 28. The secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, answering a question put by Will
lam Johnson, member for South Bel
fast, conservative, in the house of com
mons today, said that the negotiations
which have been going on between
Cnnada and Newfoundland, looking to
the Incorporation of the latter Into tho
dominion, were now In abeyance, owing
to the indisposition of Canada to ac
cept the liabilities of Newfoundland.
In answer to further questions as tn
whether the government would be able
to nid In overcoming the financial diffi
culties which presented an obstacle to
the union of Newfoundland and Cana
da, Mr. Chamberlain said: "Not If It
means that the taxpayers of the coun
try should be burdened with the cost."
