The Democratic State Convention is
in session at Scran ton to-day. The lead
ing candidates for tiovernor are ex-iov-ernor
Pattison and ex-Senator Wallace,
w ith the chances slightly in favor of the
former receivingthe nomination. No mat
ter who is nominated, the honor will he
an empty one, as the ticket nouiiuated at
Harrisburg last week is already as good
as elected. Composed as it is of able,
Iioneat, clean men, it will sweep the State
like a western cyclone. Our Democratic
friends might as well waive the formality
of nominating a ticket and agree to elect
Delamater, Watres and Stewart by a
unanimous vote.
General D H. Hastings and Secretary
Charles W. Stone, defeated for the nomi
nation for Governor Wednesday are wise
etatesmen. They do not sulk in their
tents, but romo out openly like manly
men and say they are not only for the
ticket, but will work for it and stump
the State for it. I.ast nihht the gallant
Hasting and the scholarly Stone made
declarations to this effect in public
speeches, and the opposition w ho were
expecting different things have some
thing to think about. The true Repub
lican never deserts his party. He always
fights under his party banner. Such
men are I tastings and i.one.IfnrrMurg
Tritpitlph.
At the head of these columns w ill be
found the Ropublimn State ticket nomi
nated at Harrisburg lant week. The
convention was t!ie most largely attend
ed and harmonious gatheringof the kind
-ver held in the State, and it did its
work w ith wisdom and courage. It plac
ed a strong ticket noon a sound platform.
The nomination of Ceorge W. Delamater
for Governor was generally foreseen by
intelligent observers, and in naming him
m the standard Ijearer of the party the
ronwtitiou simply ratified the wishes of
a targe .jority of the Republican voters
of the State. He i. a quiet, reCned,
courteous gentleman, a utrong, able, clean
man, endorsed by the best citirens of the
State, and his candidacy cannot help but
prove a brilliant success. When elected
be will give the State an able, dignified
nd honorable administration.
The convection made no mistake in
nominating Louis A. Watrea for LieuteD
ant Governor. H baa been elected to
the State Senate twice in succession from
a district containing a Democratic niajor
ity of 1,500, tod in that body be has a!
wavs been found it the front rank of
intelligent, hwd-working, honest legis
lators.
The nomination of Thomas J. Stewart
for Secretary of internal affairs waa with
out opposition, and waa a deserved trib
ute to a gallant soldier and a faithful
official.
With a ticket composed of such men
men of spotless character and unblem
ished record, all in the prime of life
there can be no question of the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania achieving a glori
ous victory in November. It is a ticket
that is sure to win and one that calls for
the enthusiastic support of eyery Repub
lican worthy of the name within the
broad borders of our Commonwealth.
About a month ago the Senate, on mo
tion of Senator Wilson, of Iowa, passed
a bill designed to relive the States of
whatever injurious effects there might
be in the recent decision of the Suprorue
Court of the United States in regard to
the importation and sale of liquor in
original packages. As paasea ly the
Senate this bill provided that liquor im
ported from one State ito another should
cease to be regarded as amenable to
Interstate Commerce law as soon as it
reached its destination within a State.
The House Judiciary Committee has
amended that bill so as to make it appli
cable to all articles whatsoever.
The effect of the House amendments
will be to declare that all articles of com
merce shall be considered to be within
the control of a State as soon as they
reach their destination, and that they
may not be sold within that State, in the
original package or otherwise, in viola
tion of State laws. Provision is made
against discrimination by particular
States in favor of articles produced with
in those States, and care has been taken
to prevent the measure from authorizing
anything like State prohibition of inter
state commerce or the virtual levying of
duties by one State upon the products of
another.
In this shape it is probable that the
bill will be passed by the House and ac
cepted by the Senate. It is an extremely
delicate and dillicult subject, and one
that has engaged the attention of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in both
Houses of Congress. In some shape or
other a law should be passed that will-
prevent the unification of laws passed
by the States in the interests of temper
ance. Hundreds of petitions to this ef
fect have been received by Congress;
and the Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania called special attention to
the matter in its platform adopted last
week. Before another fortnight has
passed we expect to see upon the statute
books a law that will accomplish the
necessary object.
PRESS COMMENTS.
From the Norrislown Herald.
The general satisfaction with which the
work of the Harrisburg convention has been
received by the Republicans of Pennsylva

umphantly elected.

From the IIax:Ki Sentinel.

From the Mvalvllle Tribune.
That the nomination of Senator Delama
ter is a popular one and one that will be
overwhelmingly ratified at the poll, is
abundently evidenced by the hearty endorse
ment the ti ket is receiving by the thought
ful and iiiti-liip-riit voters throughout the
State.
Froin the Bcllefontc Gazette (General Hasting'
home.)
While the outcome of the convention was
not what the people of this communiy most
desired, it is nevertheless true that a most
excellent candidate has been named for Gov
ernor in the !erson of Hon. George W. Dela-
f Meadville, Crawford county,
From the Heading Times.
Of the personal excellence of the ticket
there can be no possible question, while the
developments of the convention show that
there was a fair field and au open, honorable
contest for the honors, and that those who
carried them off did so only because they
were the decided choice of a niajority of the
masses of the party in the State.
From the Scranton Republican.
But there are no indications whatever of
disaffection among Republicans. Disappoint
ments there are, but nothing more, and such
disappointments as exist will speedily be for
gotten. When General Daniel H. Hastings,
declares he has no cause for complaint then
certainly no other has, for of seven aspirants
he and lie! mater alone had grounds on
which to base ex lactations of success.
From the Chambersbun; Public Opinion.
Delamater is a gentleman who stands so
well with his neighbors that in his candida
cy for the Governorship be found support in
nearly every bonie of Crawford county. His
life began at Jira.iri!!e , audit is told that
his boyhood, youth and manhood are an
oicn book wi " -m a blotted page. He comes
of one of t tie moat highly resjiecttd families
in the community, and Lis every act in pri
vate and public life baa been of a character
to dignify and elevate an already honorable
name.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Rep.
The Republican State Convention has
made uo mistake in placing George Wallace
Delamater at the bead of its ticket. He has
won his spurs fairly and honestly after a
contest with half a dozen candidates, any
one of whom would have been an ornament
to the party and an Invincible standard
bearer. It is no disparagement to the other
that Mr. Delamater has been selected. He
made a brilliant canvass, be attracted the
most delegates to his banner and he won.
That tells the whole atory. Vr. Delamater
will make a strong candidate and a wise
Oovemor.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Und.,)
In this and in other rvspecU it was Vr.
Quay's convention. Its composition and its
work are another demonstration of his su
preme power in Pennsylvania polities ; and
its unabated faith and confidence in him
personally, as well as in bis leadership, arc
shown in the unanimity and emphasis with
which it repels and repudiates and treats
with scorn the attacks upon his character.
So far as "vindication" by the powerful and
controlling political organization can go. be
has it complete. Only a man of great in
tellectual force can aouotuplish such result
in tho face of such inveterate hostility as
Mr. Quiy hai to encounter.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The best evidence of a man's popularity
is found at his home. There is a Scriptural
quotation to the effect that a prophet is not
without honor save in his own country. He
mutt be a very extraordinary man who is
not only honored by those from a distance
but whose fallow citiaens rejoice that be is
so honored and mtr.ifet their pleasure in an
unmistakable way. Such a man is George
Wallace Delamater. When it was learosd
at Mcadilie yesterday that he had been
nominated for Governor by the great Re
publi.an party of Pennsylvania the citizens,
irrespective of rty, met and rejoiced and
showed in various demonstrative ways their
great pleaaort. Such a can will win.

the same city. Then in quick succession
Foster, of Luzerne, changed from Osborne
to Delamater : Kmersou Collins, of Lycom
ing, changed from McCorniick to Delamater;
Parry, of Greene, changed from Montooth to
Delamater, and Warnock, of Westmoreland,

last ballot and a motion of William Flynn,
of Pittsburgh, to make the nomination
unanimous, which was carried, the Conven

old party war horse and told of his services
for the party's nominees in past campaigns,
and especially how his management bad won
Republican majorities in Schuylkill that
had dwindled and disappeared since his de
parture from the caunty.
The roll-call was begun, and it soon be
coming apparent that Passmore was not
going to get many votes he was withdrawn
by ex-Congressman Brumm. The roll call
then proceeded and resulted ICj for Watres

tion voted solidly for Watres and the Phila
delphia delegation nearly so.
Thomas J. Stewart was named by ex
Sheriff Leeds, of Philadelphia, for Secretary
of Internal Affairs. The nomination was

D. Porter, of Allegheny. As there was no
opposition the nomination of Secretary Stew
art was made by aeclaaiation.
General Hastings was elected Chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee on
motion of Chairman Andrews, but the Gen
eral declined to accept. The old Chairman
was then re-elected, and given a hearty vote
of thanks for his past services to his party.
Senator Delamater was then brought be
fore the Convention by a committee, and
made the following address, which was en
thusiastically received, after which the Con

3fr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Cunitntlun.
Words cannot express my appreciation of
the high honor conferred upon me by this
nomination. I accept it with a profound
sense of my responsibilities as the standard
bearer of the grand organization whose rep

of Republicaniapkin the past, and pledged to

never-dying prlfiriMes upon which these
achievements have been won, we are well
prepared to enter ou the duties of toe coining
campaign. The vantage ground upon which
Pennsylvania and the Nation stands to-dav,
the measure of our great prosperity, and the
degree of intelligence of our people, are due
to the Republiuau party. Looking into your
faces and animated by your enthusiasm, I
am convinced that the ileubllcan party of
Penntylvauia dn not propose to pause now.
Whatever quesUons involving tba rights and
happiness of the people are confronted, wilt
be courageouily considered and wisely solv
ed. The Republican party is essentially the
party of the people. Born of the travail of
slavery, grown into manhood, disciplined
and strengthened by the tierce trials of the
Rebellion and reconstruction, it is now in
lull panoply of mature age. able and ready
to cope vitti all living questions. It believes
in the absolute equality of all people before
the law. Therefore does it protect sgaiust
all tendencies to claw legislation. Believing
in the brotherhood of man aud recognizing
the dependence of ail men, one upon the
other, it aims to build up a system of laws
which protect and nurture all alike.

SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES
SEXATOB DELAVATKS FOR GOYEKXna.
Senator George W. Delamater was born in
Meadville on March 31, 184(1. He is of the
eighth generation of his family in the Uni
ted States. The family immigrated to this
country from Holland, whither they had
fled from Fran. to escaiie religious iereecu
tion. Senator Delamater graduated with
honor from Allegheny College at Meadville,
studied law and was admitted to the bar.
But after some three years devoted to his
profession, openings for large business en
terprises presenting themselves, he entered
upon them with all bis manly vigor, and
has been, beyond his wildest dreams, suc
cessful. He is at the head of the bunking
bouse of Delamater 4 Co , a director of the
Merchants' National Bank of Meadville,
President of the conqiany and owner of the
controlling interest in the. Meadville and
Lliiesville Railroad, President of the Mead
ville Fuel Gas Company, and connected
With other local enterprises.
It will be seen by this enumeration that
to manage business so extensive and varied
in this age of enterprise and sharp coniza
tion, and to manage it successfully, as he has
dene, demands capacity of no common or
der. While thus engrossed in large business
transactions, suilicient to turn the head of a
roan of less nerve than he, he has not been
oblivious to educational and philanthropic
enterprises, and his neighborhood and his
state have abnndant cause for gratitude for
bis counsel and aid. In the midst of his
cares he has suffered no pinched or penuri
ous policy to gain any foothold in his heart,
but exemplifies that broad philosophy that
the prosperity which gives him the means
to do good heightens the pleasure and wai mi
and enlarges the heart in doing so.
How well his principles have been indors
ed and approved is shown by his advance
ment, which, for a young man, is honorable.
He was Mayor of Meadville in 1STG, Senato
rial delegate to the State Convention in 187S,
and Chairmnn of the Republican County
Committeeduring the campaigns of 1873 and

ToPidmit Wyoming.
Washington, Juna 27. The Senate prac
tically added k new star to the 11 ig to-day
by ratifyinr the action of the House, taken
some Dion Sis ago, admitting the Territory
of Wyomiig hito the Union. A few details
have yet to be arranged in conference com
mittee chefly differences of opinion be
tween the two houses about the Yellowstone
Park Rescrradon and its relation to the new
State, but r.o serious difficulty is likely to be
experienced it reaching a prompt and satis
factory settlement of these minor questions
at issue, and the bill will probably be sent
to the Presid.Ot for his approval and be
come a law buWe the end of next week. As
conferees on tic part of the Senate the Vice
President has appointed Messrs. Piatt, Col
lom and Jonej of Arkansas.
The vote onadmitting Wyoming wa, as
perhaps migh Jliave been expected from the
debate of the Wst two days, strictly 6n party
lines, as usu:. No Democrat was found
liberal enougi to advote or to support a
Territorial pfcy which would give lo the
growing communities in the far West the
just encourag.sient and stimulus of admis
sion to Statehsnl, as each was able to justify
itsclaim for sdf government to the country
at large.
A Duet With Hatchets.
A duel to the death was fought Friday
near Village Springs, near Birmingham,
Ala., between Zabe Posey and Albert Sim
mons, farmer. The meeting was the result
of a personal , ifliculiy between the two men
some eight mi nths ago. The weapons used
were sharp I tchets, with which the men
hacked one ai other nntil Simmons fell to
the ground f. I ally hurt and fainting from
loss of blood,
The feelin. between the two men had
long been ver bitter, and, meeting yester
day, when t icb carried a hatchet in his
hand, they aeed to settle their troubles
then and then . Simmons was severely cut
in a dozen pities, while Posey escaped with
two or three tight flesh wounds. Posey is
in hiding, anJbas not yet been arrested.
A Desperate Deed.
Noknstow Pa., June 29, A horrible
case of self boiphery occurred here last even
ing. Jonatlwa W. Davis, a former Phila
delphian, wax found early this morning on
the bedroom floor of his home, at No. 1002
Willow street lying in a pool of blood. His
throat, face and chest were cut in a frightful
manner, the Lead being almost severed from
the body. A large butcher knife, resting
against his body, was the instrument with
which the frightful deed was committed,
and which is supposed to have been brought
about by uisuund mental condition.
The appearance of the room told a blood
curdling tale of self-butchery. On a table
near the Vody laid a mirror, nearly the
entire surface of which was besmeared with
blood. Bloody foot prints on the floor led
fromthe cint re-table to two closet doors,
and to a toVeJ rack opposite. Bloody finger
marks were; on the closet doors, whilea towel
on the rack was completely saturated with
blood. j

Fire Eraaws ou In the Hill Farm
Mln.
Di s:ia. Pa. June 27 There is n, ln
ger any luqir. AH faith in ihe imliistrious
reciiers has Urn ahaudontd. The en-
toii.lied miti'Ts raniK.t tx. rescued now. A
r.. .-. t i .i t . . . .
...iu mr oiM wo-u i.mr i.ue. ainl it their
dead holies escaped the hungry llame, the
pilfering rats that infest the mines will have
gnawed them beyond recognition. Death
never came to men in a more revolting form
and affliction never fell heavier on the be
reaved. This has beenjan awful horror ; yet
even greater disaster threatens.
FIRE AND tiEAbLV GAS.
A fire fierce as a whirlwind is raring for
2,fXSl feet down into the yawning mouth of
the Hill Farm mine. Deadly gas bas gen
erated back of the fire, and the- ponderous
hill into which the Hill Farm, the Fergu
son and the Mahoning pits are driven is to
night a mighty magazine, fairly pregnant
with death. The lightest stroke of a miner's
pick would explode if, and the effect of such
an explosion would lie awful :o on template.
WITHI.RtWAL OF THd krsci
The rescuing party has withdrawn from
the tice Af the Mahoning pit. A strong
guard has been placed at the mouth of the
Ferguson mine to keep out the impatient,
restless miners, who would rescue the un
fortunates on their own account. The flames
at the Hill Farm Mines are hot enough to
drive sway invaders.
THE FIRE ORE IKS LOOSE.
Fire broke from the mouth of the Hill
Farm pit shortly after!! o'clock to-night.
It followed promptly after the drill entered
the hurtling mine. For two hours before
the lUnies burst out, huge billows of smoke,
black, dense and deadly, rolled over each
other into the air and drifted upward, form
ing a ponderous monument of mourning lo
the dead inside. A rumbling, rushing sound,
likeaswifj-nioving train through a tunnel,
preceded the flames. Se.-retary TV'atchorn,
Sueriiitendeiit Hill and your correspond
ent were at the pit mouth awaiting the out
break. To theexperis the smoke indicated
approaching tire and for half an hour before
its arrival its coming could be hoard. Long
before the lire reached the pit mouth it could
be seen licking up the timbers in the mine
and the steady stream of water which rip
pled down the slope seemed only to inspire
and encourage to wilder ell'orts the angry
fiend.
the bcsii of flame.
It was indeed an awful sight, and when,
with a brilliant flash, the great column of
smoke was ignited, the heavens seemed
allame. Fantastic figures of fire darted
hither and thither, chasing each other to
the clouds and burning a huge hole through
the gl jora of night. The a. rrounding coun.
try was lighted up, guiding the excited ner
vous crowds to the scene. Those who had
been watching at the Mahoning mine hur
ried over the hill to the fire The people of
Dunbar, who could see the reddened heav
ens from the village, rushed about in ten
fusion, fearful that another calamity had oc
curred. The families of the entombed miners who
have waited and watched until their grief
had become deadened, are aroused and their
suffering and distress comes tc them anew.
Neighbors gathered intoeach stricken home,
and while they comforted the living they
prayed for the dead.
MIKING THE UEAI.ING.
The heading in the Hill Farm mine was
not accompanied with accident. James
Bamhill, practical miner, guided the drill,
and when he touched the objective point he
secured a green bag full of the air and then
the rescuing party was ordered out of the pit.
Inspectors Keighley, Blit k and Kvans then
examined the face of the mine, after which
they left the place t consult. They decided
that any attempt to break through the di
viding wall might bs accompanied by acci
dent. the peofle enraged.
The susetisioii of work just when the
unfortunate miners are almost within reach
has been a great disappointment here, and
has stiil further enraged the people. The
false reports sent out daily by the Mine In
spectors had led them to hope against them
elve. ) when the tin. biokvout to-night
the feeling was intensely bitter against those
whom they would hold responsible for the
delay.
A IMS i xo resolve.
Dcnbab, Pa., June 282 A. m. The con
ference of mine exjwrts mentioned in my
previous dispatch lasted for nearly an hour.
Kvery possible plan of rescue was discussed,
but none of them were adopted. Finally,
Inspectors Ixiuttit and Keighley, Secretary
Watchorn, Master Workman Kerfoot and
Manager Hill, of the Furnace Company, de
cided to face death itself that the entombed
men may be rescued. They decided to go
to the face and together dig through. En
gineer Coll and his father, of the Frick Coke
Company, accompanied the daring party and
will stand guard while the perilous work is
performed. It was just 1 o'clock this morn
ing when they determined to make the (Ips
perate effort, and a more deliberate, deter
mined and courageous party never braved
such dangers. They were provided with all
appliances for their safety, but they carried
their lives in their hands, and everybody
about the pit bade them good bye, and all
carried with them their best wishes for a
safe and speedy return.
FACING PEATII.
When the courageous party disappeared
in the mine tears filled the eyes of those on
the outside. Hardened men who never knew
a ftar, trembled for the fate of the party, yet
all are confident of their return. There are
It feet of coal through which to dig, or
about two nours' work. Should they break
through the wall and return with their
lives, it is hardly probable that any of the
bodies for which they are searching will be
taken out before this afternoon.
Dundvr, Pa. July X At It o'clock to
night the drill struck through into an entry..
Theaircame whistling through to where
the men were digging as clear as a bell
The drill was removed and the air was test
ed. It is pure. It will take tiil 2 o'clock to
dig away the coal so that the rtscuing party
can enter the Hill Farm mine to search for
the imprisoned men. The men who have
the work of rescue in charge are sure some
of the imprisoned miners are alive, if they
were not killed by the first explosion. The
utmost secrecy is maintained at this hour
for fear the relatives of the imprisoned men
might learn the news and insist on going
into the pit.
