' THE I'MT KILE IS ADOfTED riiairman ilarrity Controls tbe Conven tion Itelcgates to I ho Notional Convention-Half a Vote to Lackawanna Delegates. - AUentown, Pa., April 2S.--rii adop iion of the unit rule, an unequivocal declaration for sound money, and the formal launching of the presidential boom of ex-t?overnor ltobert K. Paul son were paramount Issues in connec tion with the 'Democratic state conven tion today. There was a unanimous sentiment In favor of Mr. Pattison's presidential candidacy, and the en dorsement of him. as contained In the platform. Is worded In strong language Although there was opposition to the unit rule, it did not affett the e--govei--nor; and, with the unit rule in force, the sixty-four delegates from Pennsyl vania to the national convention will support him .throughout. The conven tion was controlled by National Chair man Ilarrity, who heads tho list of na il mal delegate-nt-targe. John M. Krnden. of Washington eounty, and Ticnjaniln C. Potts, of Dela ware county, were nominated for cun-sressmen-ut-large; William M. Nlnger ly. of Philadelphia; Oeorge W. Guthrie, of Allegheny: James Denton Hancock, of Venango, and Alex H. Coffroth. of Somerset, were selected as presidential electors-at-large. and William F. Har rtty. of Philadelphia; State Chairman ltobert K. Wright, of Lehigh; J. Henry Cochiun. of Lycoming; Charles A. Fa ran, nf All"gheny: Dr. John Todd, of Montgomery; Henjnmln F. Meyers, of Dauphin; John S. Killing, of Kile, and John T. Lcnnhan, of Luzerne, were chosen at: delegntes-at-large to the na tional convention. An Incident of the nomination of Mr. Wright was his announcement of with drawal on the convention floor. The riclcp.fi tcs refused to accept his retire ment, however, and he was elected with the others, with a rush. After the con vention. National Chairman Harrlty mated that Mr. Wright would not with draw from the office; that the spontan eity of the delegates In approving of his. selection clearly showed that ..tin was wanted. The cause of Mr. Wright's ac tion was a contest In the ninth con gressional district (IScrks and Lehigh counties) over the selection of .district delegates. The Berks delegates to the convention, who numbered nineteen to ten for X.ehlgh. chose the two district delegates to the national convention and ignored Lehigh, because Mr. Wright was selected as a delegate-nt-large. The state chairman was desir ous that Lehigh should have one of the district delegates, and It was be cause of the failure to secure this that he announced his withdrawal. The ac tion of the convention, however, upset his plans and he will remain as a dele, gate-at-large, while the Herks county district delegates wll, also be unaltered. , PltKSlDKNTIAL KLKCTOHS.

The convention was called to order at 12.20 by Chairman Wright, who In troduced William B. Given, of Lancas ter, county, as temporary chairman. Mr. Given was loudly applauded. He made a brief address and during nlB speech was frequently Interrupted by applause, and the mention of the name of ex-Governor Pattlson brought forth prolonged cheers. After the appoint ment or committees the convention took a recess, reassembling at 8.25, when the chairman of th,e credential commltteo, John C. BtHdy, of Erie, presented the report ot the committee and It was adopted. It gave a half vote each to the Lackawanna and York delegates ana contestants. , The Hensel delegates from Lancaster County (the contestants) were seated as were also the contestants from lejjrVashlngton county. The nommittee on permanent organ! xation named Dw-ight N. Lowiey. of Philadelphia, as permanent chairman of the convention. This was adopted and Mr. Lowrey was escorted to the chair. Chairman James of the committee on resolutions then read the platform ns adopted by the committee. It Is the same as has been heretofore outlined. THE CONQUERING HE HO. When the endorsement in the plat form of the presidential candidacy of ex-Uovernor Paulson was reached, there was a loud cheer and the band played "See the Conquering Hero Comes." When Mr. James had concluded,, and had formally moved the adoption of the resolutions, J. Hush (illlan, of Chnm liershurg. offered as a minority report the substitution for the unit rule, which was defeated by the committee. - Delegate Oreevy, of Blair county, seconded the amendment. Air. Oreevy made an extended ad dress In support of the amendment. Several efforts were made by delegates to Interrupt the speaker, but the ob jectors were silenced by the chairman and Mr. Oreevy proceeded. Joseph P. McCullen, of Philadelphia, opposed the amendment in an earnest speech. He favored the unit rule be cause It would help tho presidential candidacy of ex-flovernor Paulson, an honest, man.". Mr. McCullen de nounced Senator Cameron because of his "dishonest money views." and de- j nouueed Senator Quay, whose election to the presidency, he stated, would bring disgrace to the country. James T. Lenahan, of I.uxerne, also spoke In favor of the unit rule. Mr. Olllan demanded that the ayes and nays be taken on the amendment, but as this was not seconded, the chair man ignored it and put the question to the convention. Tho amendment was defeated by a viva voce vote, 'and the original plat form was adopted. Joseph llawlty. of Allegheny, nomi nated John M. Uiaden, of Washington, for congressman-at-lurge. Mr. Hawlcy's favorable reference to the leadership of National Chairman William F. Harrlty was loudly cheered. Charles F. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, seconded the nomination. Benjamin C. Potts, of Delaware, was next placed In nomination by Thomas J, Osborne, of Media, for congressman-at-large, 'and Messrs. Braden and Potts were nominated by acclamation. The selection of presidential electors, district delegates and dcegates-at-large followed and delivered. When the name of Robert K. Wright, of Le high, for delegate-at-large was an nounced, Mr. Wright stated to the con vention that owing to complications In his congressional district lie would withdraw. There were loud cries of "No," and the convention nominated the ticket, with Mr. Wright included, despite nis an nouncement. The convention adjourned sine die at 4.5a p. m. HACK FROM ALLENTOWN. LuekawHnna Delegation Not Happv Over the Result of the Convention..- A portion of the Lackawanna delega tion returned 1n.it night from the state convention arriving In the city at II.45 over the Central Railroad of New Jer sey. All were dissatisfied with the re fvit of the AUentown gathering. Lack awanna. sent down two delegations and both were ignored. None of Its repre sentatives were called Into tho party councils when the slate were being prepared. The expedient the commit tee on contested seats adopted of giv ing the contesting delegates half a vote each was unsatisfactory to both fac tions because they went down to right the matter to a finish. A square rul ing by the state convention would have settled the manner in which state dele gates shull In future bo elected but the miserable straddle of the commit tee on contented seats leaves the sit uiitlon worso than It was before. Attorney W. W. Tiaylor was n very useful man to the county committee delegates. He It was who enabled them to select Attorney Joseph O'Brien and Mayor James fl. Hailey, as Lacka- wanna's national delegates. Of the delegates originally selected by the county committee to represent the legislative districts of the county Miles McAndrew, of Archbald, and John J. O' Boyle, of this city, did not attend. Attorney Joseph O'Brien and Frunk McAndrew were substituted for them. Mr. O'Brien was made a mem ber of the committee on contested seats but os ids seat In the convention was contested he was dented the privilege of even attending the meeting of the committee. Then strategy was resort ed to. O'nitlEN SUBSTITUTED. Through the Influence of Attorney John T. Lenahan, of Wllkes-Bnrre, ex County Treasurer John Smoulter, of Luzerne county, who was also a mem ber of the committee on contested seats, was Induced to allow Mr. O'Brien to act as his substitute on the commit tee. This odd proceeding was tolerat ed and Mr. O'Btien had the satisfaction 1 if Kitting In the oummlttee that v us disposing of his claim to a scot In the convention. Senator McDonald object ed to Mr. O Brlen serving on the com mittee alleging that he was not. a dele gate In the convention but the objection wns overruled. James J. O'Neill, county chairman. and John J. Fahey went before the com mittee and mnde the statement of the claims of the delegates elected by the county committee; Senator McDonald and Nathan Vidaver did a similar ser vice for the delegates elected by the legislative districts. No one other than members of the committew were al lowed In the room when the arguments of the representatives of the rival delegations were being made. After the claims of both sides had been heard one of the committeemen suggested that Mr. O'Brien he allowed to make a statement regarding the Lackawanna muddle. The suggestion was not acted upon. When the announcement wns made from the committee room that the rival delegations would be seated each re celving a half a vote, the county com tnlttee delegates though not pleased smiled a very broad smile. They were sure of the national delegates. W. W. Baylor had been elected by the county committee and endorsed by the legis lative committee. He was entitled to tho whole vote of the Third district and would cast It with the county commit tee dolegates in selecting national delegates giving them a majority of one over the legislative committee dele gates. The latter saw that the jig was up and did not put forward the name of John E. Rocho for national delegate as they had Intended. DELEGATES SELECTED. The delegates from Lackawanna thereupon presented to the convention the names of Joseph O'Brien and James fl. Bailey for national delegates and O. H. Johnson and James J. O'Neill as alternates; The choice was, of. course, ratified by tho convention. 7 County Treasurer Charles Schtidt was named as national elector from this congressional district, but there is some doubt as to whether or not he can serve. It Is thought that tho office Is incompatible with that of county treas urer. Those who returned last night over the Central road from AUentown were Postmaster F. M. Vandllng, John E. Hoche, John OalTney, James K. Bur nett. E. J. Lynett. Senator M. K. Mc Donald, B. W. Cooney, of Dunmore; Nathan Vidaver, P. J. McCormack. of Blttkely; J. W. Kllpatrlck, of Carbon dale; K. F. Btewltt, James Flynn and Revenue Collector Orant Herring. A number of the other members of the Lackawanna delegation went over the Lehigh Valley road to Wilkes Harre, where they attended a celebra tion last night in honor of the election of John T. Lenahan as a delcgate-at-large. The convention was entirely under the control of Harrlty, and when the unit rule came up for consideration the opposition was very feeble, he roll was not called on the measure, and the Lackawanna delegates were conse quently not put on record regarding It. ULLOMITES HATE HOPE. After Admitting Defeat They Holly, and Will Try to Halt the Meklnley Wove at Springfield Today. Springfield. HI., April 29. The Re publican . state convention convened here today, but without affecting a permanent organization, took a recess until 2 p. m. As the crowd was tiling out, a delegate In the body of the hall mounted a chair and read a dispatch announcing that the Republicans of Vermont had instructed for McKlnley. This was greeted with loud cheers, and a blue silk banner with a picture of the Ohio statesman, which had been smuggled Into the hall a few moments before, was waved aloft. .When the delegates reassembled at 2.15. Senator Berry was presented as permanent chairman and addressed the convention. On the floor of the convention at 4.30. the antl-McKInlcy machine con ceded defeat. On the committee on resolutions and the new state central committee the McKInlcyltes are in a majority. When Chairman Berry concluded, nominations for governor were In or der and the names of Captain John XT., Tanner, of Clay county," was submit ted Congressman Albert 3. Hopkins was nominated by S. G. Hanchett, of Au rora. Dr. Robbins, of Quiney, wna also named and a ballot was ordered. Tan nor was chosen on first ballot and his nomination whs made unanimous. For Lieutenant Governor W. A. Northx-oit, of Crefmville; Theodore S. Chapman, of Jersey, and Davis Ross, of La Salle, were namea without speeches. North' cott was nominated on tht m-ennrt hut. lot. This cumgrieled the work of the convention for the day and an adjourn, ment was taken until tomorrow. It will be nip and tuck in the'eonven tlon tomorrow between the supporters ana opponents of the McKlnley Inatnic tions, with the chances, unless there is another change in the situation be fore morning, in favor of the opposition There was a time on the floor of the convention this afternoon when the ma chine was Inclined to admit its defeat. Th!s,wa before the second' ballot for lieutenant fovcrnor had been ordered. Tlu closeness -of the contest for this nomination, however, enabled the antl McKlnlcyltes and Cullomltws, te-tnake u number of deals- with unlnstructed delegates. ' The committee on resolutions' pre. pared a platform this afternoon which will be presented to the convention to morrow. It Is chiefly devoted to de nunciation of the Cleveland admlnlntra tton. The financial plank Is as follows: Resolved, That we. the Republicans of Illinois, are unyielding and em phatic In our demands for honest money, we are opposed, as we ever have been, to every and any scheme mat win give to this country a cur rency In any way depreciated or de based, or in any respect Inferior to the money of most advanced and lntelll gent nations of the earth. We favor the use of silver as currency, but to the extent only and under such restric tions that parity with gold can be main talned. M'KINLEY SCOOPS VERMONT Politicians of the (ircen Mountains Are Treated to a lllg Surprise. Montpeller, Vt.. April 29. W. A. Lord, of Alontpelier, presided over the Re publican state convention today to so. leet delegates to the national conven lion. A strong McKlnley feeling pervaded tho convention. The following resolu tions offered by Hugh Henry was adont ed by acclamation, but subsequently a motion to table it was adopted, the McKlnley men being satisfied with the expression of the sentiment of the con vention While we recognise the wisdom of the precedent which has heretofore sent our oeiegates to national conventions without tying their hands with nosltive lnstru tlons, and would not break that precedent, yet we feel we will be untrue reoresenta- tlvrs of those who sent us here did we fall to give voice to ineir convictions; mere fore be It. Uesnlveil Thct In th great qpootlc of protection minam .iicivituey, or unio. we recognize the first choice of the Re. publicans of Vermont for their personal candidate. We believe that the credit of govern jnent should be sustained, not bv the Issui of bonds and the increase of the national debt, but by a return to a system of duties wmcn snail replenish the public treas ury, put In motion the now silent wheels of business and ensure living prices to American tarms anu worgsnops. Hon. Redfleld Proctor, Dr. Henry D, Hilton, or itrattleboro: Kdwnrd C Smith, of St. Albans, and C. A. Prouty of Newport, were chosen delegates at large, Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebras ka, closed the convention Avlth a Bhort address, expressing McKlnley senti ment. THE PLATFORM. The following is a synopsis of tho platform adopted today by the Republi can state convention: The platform declared In favor of a ' protective tariff, reciprocity, the main- I tenanee of the Monroe doctrine. The money plank declared unequivocally against free silver, except by Interna tional agreement. Continuing, the platform says. We believe that the credit of the govern ment should be sustained, not by the Issue of bonds and the Increase of the national debt, but by a return to a system of duties which shall replenish the public treasury, tint In motion the now silent wheels of business and ensure living prices to Ameri can farms and workshops. We adhere to our custom not to restrict the delegatus to the national convention by Instructions or professions as to choice of presidential candidate; but we trust them to faithfully represent us and tho best Interests of tho Republican pnrly and country, according to their Judgment when the convention meets, Thn outburst of enthusiasm was all McKlnlcy's way. The Reed men at tempted to have the convention look with favor toward the man from Maine, but It was plainly evident that the biggest majority of tho delegates were lovers of MeKlnley. The party leaders are surprised, but say nothing. It was intended to have the dolerates go unlnstructed, but with such a strong sentiment In favor of Mc Klnley, It Is believed that no delegate w 111 dare to stand tor any other candi date. , THE KEWS TIMS MOBMX'O.
