This is Republican ye&r.
The iU-jiublicans of Pennsylvania
ma Je a few remarks last week.
David B. Hill died politic&lly from
t ak i n g too rn uch of bat O rover Cle vc
land wantod.
The Republicans in Governor McK'id
iey'8 old Congressional district are again
talking of st-a iingbim to Conjrress.
The Somerset County lit-lentes voted

Tn eke was never a larger, livelier or
more harmonious political convention
held in the State than the one which
met in Harrisbarg lout Wednesday.
Cleveland is undoubtedly the most
popular iK'inocrat that could be nomina
ted, and he has shown hew be would
carry things by his recent work in Rhode
Island.
Hon. Sahi'ei. Snyi-er was a member
of the Committee on permanent organi
sation at the recent Ipubli-an State
Convention and Mr. A. J. Hileman was a
member of ihe Committee on resolu
tions. Both pollical parties have engaged
headquarters for the State Campaign in
Philadelphia. The Republicans will oc
cupy their old rooms at the Continental
Hotel while the Iemocrata will hold
forth in Penn square.
CiiAi'Nt'EV M. Dki'Ew thinks that the
New York delegates to the Minneapolis
convention will go uninst ructcd. With
such leaders as Depow, 1'iatt, Miller, and
Hiscock the New York tlelegati.in can be
trusted to vote for the w inner.
California's earth juake recalls the
shocks of 1S12, IS'.S and 1S72 in more or
ies serions form, lip origin ajuK-ais to
have been in the Sierra Nevada range of
mountains, as in 1S72, and its destruct
ivtness equally marked with that of
In .8.
Conv.ressm an BuI'telle, the intimate
friend and most ardent advocate of Mr.
Blaine, sa s that the hitter's name will
not be presented at the Minneapolis Con
vention. This confirms the statement
of all of Mr. Blaine's friends and of Mr.
Blaine himself.
Axn now comes Henry Watterson, de
claring that ex-Speaker Reed would
make a strong race for the Presidency.
This statement, coming from so greats
leader of the fellows w ho used to call
Mr. Reed "-the Czar," is somewhat in the
nature of a confession.
Thk free silver party that propose the
nomination of Grover Cleveland in 1SV2
is like the free trade party that nomina
ted Horace Greeley in IS72. The Demo
crats have severs! time failed in tryirg
to fool the people by painting the liorce
one color and the wagon another. They
will fail again this year.
Mis. James J. Blaise. Jr, who sailed
for Europe Saturday, to be gone six weeks
or more, has thereby made it certain
that fully three months will elapse from
the date set by her for publishing her
former husband's love letters, March 10.
They will be without public interest by
that time, and may therefore never ap
jtar in print
Cleveland geU the Indiana Democrat
ic oyster an 1 G nern r Gray gets the
fhell. It is agreed that the delegation to
Chicago shall vote for Cleveland right
straight along until the dark horses are
trotted out anJ then it shall flop to Gray
and begin to give him iu compliments.
It does not see.-u to be a pleasant time
for Indiana's ftvorite Democratic son,
looking at it from a political point of
view.
Alliance leaders in Kansas are roost
ing much lower than they were a year
go. Instead of emam!;ng that the oth
rr parties came to their stindard they
are reported to lie looking about for shel
ter, willing to get under the Democratic
wing and ask no questions alxmt their
share of the patronage. The third paity
will not tven bean intereslicg relic next
fill.
The Indiana IViiiicrals last week re
solve 1 that "ihe Piesidential campaign
of IS C should Le conducted on the issue
of tariff reform as ilea lied bv the Piesi
dential met sige t f KS7." That nould
simplify the Pemocxatic situation. Pres
ident Cieve'ind mR-se of 1SS7 was a
free trade menage and the country ex
pre sed its d it-approval of that message
in KvS by lefeatirg Mr. Cleveland.
Ba the Ien.c.-atic party is for free
trade and ought u have the courage to
ear so.
The Christian Endeavor Societies, or
ganized about ten yeors ago, have had
such a phenomenal growth that the
ommittee of arrangements for the Na
tional convention, to be held in New
York July 7 to 10, areata loss how to
commodate all the delegates whi pro
jiose to attend. In l.vsj there were six of
Ihese societies in the country, with a
membership of 4S1. List January theie
were 18 oO J societies and a membership
of l,IO0t'0. More than 13 0(0 delegates
Lave already Botiliad the New li ork
committee of their intention to attend
the convention, and the large Madison
Square Garden can not accommodate
them. It will be the largest convention
tver btlJ.
IiEMCfKATs can still be supplied with
"the poor man's dinner pall" and buttons
for his shirt. Tin plate manufactories
are (springing dt in dozens of cities, and
in New Jersey where there were but two
pearl button manufactories at the time
of passing the McKinley bill, there are
now joh-t twenty-one, Iemocrats can
button rjp and be hopeful.
Thk product of our silver mines last
year amounted to 5S,330,000 fine ounces,
and its coining value in silver dollar was
73,7SG,5U. Had the Bland bill been
law in 1S01 the silver mine owners would
have made a profit of f I717$il.!i.'5". It is
not surprising, then, that Senators Wol
cott and Stewart should ppeak for free
silver legislation. The" only surprise is
that they were able to dupe the majority
of the Democratic party.
IIijtouv is repeating itself in Congress
with wonderful exactness. Secession
took its rise sixty years ago in nautter
ir.gs and coin plaints that the South was
unjustly taxed to pay pensions to the vet
erans of the Rerolution of 1SV2. The
same thing is being beard again. Patt
erson of Ten nesee, Bank bead of Alaba
ma, and Kyle of Mississippi are Southern
representatives who have made them
selves conspicuous at the present session
of Congress by loud and angry denunci
ations of pensions to Union veterans.
The New York Tr&une says :
The Democratic plan of campaign in
this State is simple and intelligible. The
party has committed every possible out
rage and crime against popular rights ;
and in order to secure itself against re
tributive justice at the polls next Novem
ber and to avert the downfall of Tamma
ny and the conversion of New York into
a Republican State, it provides in the
Inspectors bill the machinery Tor a frau
dulent election in this town, and com
plete partisan control of the ballot-boxes
and the returns.
The Republican State Convention
which a-sseuibleJ in Ilarrisburg last week
discharged its duties intelligently and
well. It was the first convention held
under the new plan of representation.
and was the largest in the history ol tue
party in the Stale. A strong and excel
lent ticket was placed upon a sound and
admirable platform.
The nomination of Hon. John Dian,
of Biair county, for Judge of the Supreme
Court, is an exceptionally .strong on,
lie is a trained jurist, honored and trust
ed wherever known. He is now p-esi-dent
jud,:e of the courts of Blair county,
which position he has ably anl honora
bly C'.le J for over twenty years. He is a
strong, vigorous man in the prime of life,
and his election will brinj alJitionul
strength and dignity to the supreme
bench of the Slate.
The nominees fjr Congressmen-at-Lirge,
ienoral William Lilly and Major
Alexander MoDjwell, are both tried aud
true Republicans and are deservedly
ipu!ar with the rank and file of the
party.
The eiifht delegates and four eleclors-
at-large were chosen without strife and
are representative Republican!
The tilatform reallirms as the corner
stone of Republican faith the principle
of protection to American labor, in
which national greatness is founded and
bv w hich it must be maintained, and the
Mc'.vinley act as the exemplification of
that principle; denounces the cowardly
pjlicy of the Democratic party in Cong
ress, demands a free ballot and fair count,
pensions for deserving veterans, restrict
ion of uudc-sirable immigrat ion and a
ship cana. to unite the Great Lakes and
the Wes'ern nvera. It commends the
Republican policy on silver in the Lust
Congress, eathus:astical!y endorses the
aJjiinistration of President Harrison and
irivea utterance to Penn3vlvania's devo
tion to the famous son of her soil, w ho is
Secretary ol Mate.
A New Boom Wanted.
The Gorman boom is thin and pale.
The Hill boom ;j no better,
The Palmer boom has lost its tail,
The Boies boom is a wetter,
Thf Whitney boom is crippled, too,
The Cleveland b w.n cau't win it.

Is anybody's in it ?
Pennsylvania and State Delegations
From the rLiguo Inter Ooan.
One wo".!J suppose from the prevailing
tone of recent Washington correjjKJhJcnce
that district representation was a "barren
ideality.'' One dispatch of yesterday ata'.ed
that Senator iay hal his way at the I'enn
svivania convention aud that the delegates to
Minneaj-olis were not instructed. The whole
tenor of the comment is that the State is
herein a unit. Thetiuln is that this absence
of instructions applies only to the deie-
eates tt large, for it is oaly over those dele
gates that the State convention had nr
ajthori:y whatever. There are tweuty-eigat
dLtricU in Pennsylvania, each entitled to
two delegates. Tiiese tifty-six deiegales are
no m re amenable to a Pennsylvania State
convent on than they are to any other rep
resentative gathering. Then, too, while it
is true that the delegates at large from that
State were not instructed for Harrison they
arc friendly t' him.
In the same dispatch reference is made to
New York and tiiiio, as well as Pennsyh nia.
"The p'.an," says the dispatch, "of the anti
Hartlton :nra hasbeea to control delegations
from Penuiylvauia, New York, and Ohio'
so that they would be uninstructed. so that
at the pror time, if the situation should
seeoi ripe, an cposiiig candidate might be
sprung upon the convention who would
have the suport uf the delegates from thos
hree greet States." I'ndor the old system
thil might 1 ate becji done. In JsTi; Kjscoe
Conkling twar.g Xew York and Don Cameron
i ennsyivama, actuatea ty a common
opposition, and when the proper time came
they joiued c'aia ia supporting Hay and he
w as nominated. The unit rule was broken
in 1j.', and in 1SS4 and 1h$ not a vestige
of it was left. Previous to district reresf nta"
tioa three coaventions only hal to be con
trolled and manipulated, but now it woul J
re;iiire the control and manipulation cf no
less than tighty-aix Convei.tions to secure
the same result.
Ti. National convention ought to be ade.
liberative body. The ohjtctions !o President
Harrison's renoraii.ation ought to be clearly
stated an 1 fairly considered by the dele ales
There s! ou'd lie no ii.: position shown to
force a nomination. If Mr. ij'iay or anv
other prominent l publican ha? reasons for
regardin; Mr. Harrison's candidacy as nn-i3-iirhle,
fnm a broa.1 and inifiersona! point
ofview, let them not htsiute to present
them, but they are not likely to acc-jmplish
anything on the old solid State base Cf
operations. or is it unfair to add that at
the rate of progress made by the Harrison
movement daring the last iiwntu. or twj
there will not be enoujj left of the Opp-wi-lion
by tae time the National convention
meets to ui mand a roll call.

of Philadelphia, nominated Gen. James W.
Latta, also of that city, for Temporary L tiair
man, aod Le was unanimously chosen.
On reaching the Chair. General Latta
briefly aJJressed the Convention. Hi
speech was punctuated w ith frequent ap
plause, and at its conclusion the usual reso
lutions for the organization of the Conven
tion were adopted. General Latta'i quick,
decisive manner in potting questions found
favor with the assemblage, and each an
nouncement by him of the result of a vote
was greeted with good natured applause.
After the announcement of the Committees
on Resolutions and Permanent Organization
the Convention at II 10 took a recess till
1.:.) p. m.
The Chairmen of the committees were :
Peolutions, C. L. Magee; Organxation,
David Martin,
The C'mmittet on Resolutions met in the
Senate Chamber at the Capitol immediately
after the adjournment of the Convention
The platform a3 prepared was pre-ented for
its consideration and was adopted without
a dissenting vote.
Tiie Convention reassembled at 1 i p. m.
Chairman David Martin, cf the Committee
on Permanent Organization, reported, rec
ommending K. K. Martin, of Lancaster, for
Permanent Chairman. He was chosen
unanimously.
Tbe platform, which apjears elsewhere in
there columns, was then read.
The mention of Harrison's name in the
resolutions evoked applause, but w ben refer
ence was made to that brilliant son of Penn
sylvania, James G. Biaine, the convention
broke into the wildest cheering, which con
tinued for seveial minutes. When quiet
had been restored aud Secretary Leech was
about to start in again a delegate called
for ihreii cheers for Elaine, and they were
given with a will. TLeanti-f.-ee-silver plank
was also cheered, snd a ripple of applause
followed the reading of the anti immigra
tion plank.
Mr. Phillip?, of Schuylkill, cilVrea the
following as an amendment to the platform :
K,J, fl- That we congratulate our Junior
V. S. Senator upon the spontaneous and un
bounded maailes'atiorm of approval ofhis
course recently exhibited throughout the
Commonwealth, and we, as representatives
of the State at Urge in this Presidential year,
recalling his magnificent services to tne par
ty in J sss, cannot refrain from adding our
ustimony of appreciation and tenderimrour
earnest felicitations 10 me jioii. ai. o. v joj.
Tremendous cheering, mingled with hoots
artd hitses, followed the reading of the reso
lution. A dozen delegates were on the.r
feet, demanding recognition, but Mr. Magee,
of Pittsburgh, being nearest the platform,
was the first to catch the Chairman's eye.
The audience was disinclined to listen to
Mr. Magee, and continued to cill for the
adoption of the amendment. Mr. Mige
maintained his position, however, and was
finally able to make himself be heard.
He mid : "I want to know what that
resolution Las to do with the R"ptib'.icn
platform in a Presidential year. I cannot
see "
Mr. Magee was here interrupted by an up
roar of confu? ion. Cries of "Q lay 1 ' Q'tay 1"
"Magee!" "MikiKfl" went up from ail sides,
accompanied by hissing, hooting, and cheer
ing. 1 f3!fF Btially sctitfl- tiy Mr.
Phillips withdrawing his amendment.
The platform was then adopted a read,
and the confusion was then renewed when
Mr. Phillips again offered his resolution. He
was finally orevaiied upon to withdraw it
the ol jection being to its local character.
A conference resulted in tLe offering by
Mr. Pbillijis of the following:
The earnest puLlic and party services of
Matthew tstar.lcv i' ;av entitle mm to the
thanks and gratituue of the Republicans of
rVunsylvama.

Ju.lge Iei!i was bora in Williamsburg,
B.air coun'y. He celebrated his'STih
birtbday on tbe lo;h of February last.
The foundation of hit education was laid in
tbe common schools of his neighborhood.
Later he attended the academy at Williams
burg, Pa , and was also for a short time a
student at Washington Culltge. He left
school as a student to become a teacher at
Williamsburg and Hollidaysburg. His
spare tlrcc he devoted to tLe study of law,
and he was admitted to tbe Blair caunty
bar in li. Ia May. iSo7, he was elected
superintendent of public schools Cor lilair
coun'y, but in lv' J resigned that office to
K-rm a law partn-rhip with Hon. Samuel

CENERAL WILLIAM L1LLT.
General William Lilly ie the third son of
Colonel William Lilly, who, until HV, was
a prominent citizen of New York State. In
that year Colonel Lilly removed to Penn
svlvania with his family, and his son Will
iam began life with the Beaver Meadow
Railroad Company. Tbe Anthracite coal
fields were soon after in a state of develop
ment, and General Lilly being in the em
ploy of Ario Pardee & Co., entered, with
members of the firm, the coal business.
Great financial sucets was achieved during
war times, and General Lilly was soon a
very wealthy man. He has always made
good use of his wealth, and his charitable
bequests have been large.
In ISV) G-.neral Lilly was elected to the
Legislature and served two term, during
which time he was a candidate for tbe
speakership and was a close competitor with
the late Hon.ohn 3. Rbey.
Previous to 1U. Ganeral Lilly was a
Democra, but tbe war caused him to change
his viewjand he became a stanch Republic
an. Since that time lie has been prominent
in State politics. At the Republican State
Convention in ls "S his name wa? presented
for the nomination for Governor, and re
ceived the second highest vote. Daring the
last quarter of a century he has represente J
his district at every Republican convention
of importance, either as delegate or alter
nate. In LSS2 his remarks in favor of pro
tection were given wide publicity. He held
at the time, the first vice presidency of the
Tariff convention in New York.
Iu lStX) General Lilly presented and sup
ported a resolution, ommitting his party to
the project of revising the State constitution,
and through his aid and assistance the rcs
lulion was adopted. Tbe result was felt
when the constitnuon of 171 was adopt
ed.
General Lilly is a leading Mason, and has
contributed most generously to the Republi
can campaign fund during the entire time of
his Republican belief.
XUOB ALEX. Sl'noWELL.
Major Alex. McDowell, of Mercer county,
the nominee for Congressman-at-Large, has
been prominent in Republican politics for
many years, has three times been unani
mously indorsed by his county for Con
gress, and in ls'iO received the district nomi
nation. The unfortunate contest that fol
lowed, and its result, is a matter of current
history.
Mr. McDowell was born at Franklin, Ye
nango county, in Is 13, enlisted as a member
of the 0:ie Hundred aud Twenty-first Penn
sylvania Regiment in 'CJ, at:d was severely
wounded at Gettysburg and S-jain in the

Judsa Dean Is Happy.
Zltoona, April ill. -Judge John Dean,
nominated at HarrUbarg yesterday for Su
preme Judg?, received in the Logan House,
in this city, several hours to day, not only
local admirers, but friends from a distance.
The Judge was in the best of humor and
smiled as he said : " Perhaps I am feeling
better satisfied with myself and friends than
some other men in the State but with good
reason, I am sure.
' Occ feature of yesterday's convention was
most remarkable. It was the way my friends
Stuck to me. The bailors illustrate this bet
ter than anything else. There was less vari
ation in my vote than in that of any uf tbe
candidates, and in fact le?s than I ever saw
in a similar contest. I ara free to say that
no public man in Pennsylvania ever had
demonstrated to him the power of a staunch
set of friends so well as I did yesterday.
"Last fall, when in Philadelphia one day.
several men approached mc on the subject of
the Supreme Judgeship and asked me to be
a earii: Jate fcrthe place. Tbey assured me
that I would not be required to make any
personal effort, simply leaving the matter in
thclx hands with iiermisHon to use my name.
I agreed oa these conditions a::d my cam
pa'gti was carried out oa that plan. My
friends are resiKmiiblc for the victory and to
them I am thankful."
Caught In a Folding Bed.
Pirrssi e-,, Arril 21. B'.lzi and Kate
Cronewall, aited it and Joyars resjctive'y,
liviug in the tenth war f, Allegheny, narrow
ly e-caped a horrible death under exceeding
ly singular circumstances last night. The
two young ladles were spjn.liiig the night
with their marritnl sister, Mrs. IL'ltz, of
G!enooI, nr.3 were sleeping in a patent
folding bed. During the night from some
cause the top fell and imprisoned the occu
pants of the bed.
Ily the force of the fall the spring cstch
Io ked, making it impossible for the girls to
raise the lid which confined them within
the narrow space without a breath of freh
air. The girls, realizing tbeir anful situa
tion and the fact that they could live but a
short time, death being inevitable from suf
focation, tried with all their strength to
raise the topcf the bed, but to no effect.
Finally tbey becom; so weak from fright
and surl x-ation as to be unable to make fur
ther effort to release themselves and quietly
reslgued themselves to their fate. But fbrto
na'ely the noise of the fall of the bed awoke
Mr. Hotz, who supposing that burglars were
in the house, made a tour of investigatien
of the down-stairs rooms where he supposed
the noise had come from. Entering the
room occupied by the girls he discovered the
bed, which be hastily 0ned, but cot a
minute too sooa, for already one of the oc
cupa'.ti was unconscious and almost past
resuscitation, while the condition of the
other was but little etter, and it required

V.ret since State Sanator Oibonrn
Instituted an official inquiry into the alleged
abuses practiced at the Huntingdon W

a
reckless contempt for the rules of tbe

A SESIOI'S OCTBBCAK.
This morning, howevr, the most violent
outbreak occurred, when Eve inmates attack
ed Henry Yarneil. a teamster of this place
and Thomas Long, a guard. Without
aparent provocation. Eve of gang of
prisoners who were working in the Dries

terribly that he ia confined to his bed. In

selves op to a reckless abandonment in
conduct.
California Shaken Again.
Sas Fbasoisoo, Cal., April 21. Another
sharp earthquake this morning did consid
erable damage throughout the Sacramento
Valley, and spread dismay in the towns of
Vacaville, Winters, Woodland and Dixon,
which were already in ruins. The shock
lasted only about Jo seconds, but in that
time it made thingi very lively in tbe towns
mentioned, and also caused great alarm and
considerable dams ge.
At Sacremento, the State capital, the ceil
ing of the capital building was cracked and
a plaster statue was hurled from the cor
nice. In Winters the shock was heaviest
and business was entirely suspended. Some
of the buildings already shattered by the
first shock fell to the ground aud the main
streets look a picture of ruin.
In Dixon people are also panic-stricken
and many refuse to sleep in their houses,
preferring to camp in open lols. Only two
or three brick buildings in town are safe.
Tbe occupants of brick buildings which ex
perienced shocks yesterday moved out to
day. Every available mechanic and laborer
is at work attempting to clear away the
wreckage and take down condemned build
ings. .
In Woodland the shock was more severe
than the ooe Monday night. This morn
ing's shuck caused about fifty feet of wall of
tbe Capitol Hotel to fall to the side walk.
Property In Dogs-
Piiii.AUKLPUiA, Pa., April 21. In the all
important case of 'Vommon wealth vs. De
nny appellant," the supreme court of this
State has decided that dogs may be stolen.
Not, however, with impunity. On the con
trary, the majority of the bench has ruled
that there is such a thing as property in
four-footed beasts of the canine kind and
that tbe law passed to bring about this con
dition in does not offend against the
Constitution of Pennsylvania. The decision
of the Lackawanna county court is sustain
ed. It seems that one Depny ma le cfT wilh a
'"spaniel dog of great value, viz : of the val
ue of $" and, when branded as a thief,
claimed that there was no law in the State
making dogs personal property.
Says the supreme court : " We need not
discuss the rule of the common law upon
this subject, nor its wisdom. The case turns
upon the act of May loth ISSU. T. L. 222, en
titled 'an act for the taxation of dogs and
the protection of sheep," the sixth section of
which provides : 'That all dogs in the com
monwealth shall hereafter be personal prop
erty, and subject to larceny, etc' It is ar
gued that this act was unconstitutional, for
tbe reason that tbe said provision of section
six is not fully expressed in the title of the
act. We cannot assent to this proposition.
One of the objects of tbe act, as expressed iu
tbe title, is the taxation of dogs. Hence,
when the legislature seeks to lay a tax upon
what was not property at the common law.
we think it entirely germane to the object of
the act to declare that the property taxed
shall hereafter be personal property and a
subject of larceny."
Brigham Young's Rival.
Nxw Yoek, April 22. A suit now in
progress would indicate that New York is
now the home of the champion bigamist of
the wgjld. His name is Jacob Goldberg,
: years old, and a Russian by birth. There
are thirteen women who claim to be wives
of the alleged much-married Goldberg.
Wife No. 1 claims her residence aa War
saw, Russia, and No. 13, is said to be a young
and fair Brooklynite. Wife No. 1 said to a
reporter: ''For fifteen years and a half 1
have been on this villain's trail and now I've
got him. Ob, this is bliss," and the way
her black eyes snapped proved the truth cf
the old saying about "A woman scorned,
eet."She also declared that Goldberg, besides
having married thirteen times, is engaged
to her own knowledge, to ten girls in his old
home in Russia.
Taggart Satisfied.
HAKBiiBURo, Ta., April 25. Representa
tive Taggart of Montgomery, whose fight in
tbe state Republican convention last week
for congressman-at-large won him many
new admirers through the state, accepts his
defeat with good grace. Mr. Taggart was in
Harrisburg to-day oa his way to Mechanics
burg. atr. Tairpart is uncertain as to his political
future. He positively asserts that he will
not be a candidate for congress in the Berks
Montgomery district, and has noj yet decid
ed whether to a.-k ofhis constituents another
term in the legislature. "1 am satisfied with
the result of tbe convention," said Mr. Tag
gart. "Gea. Lilly is said to be a very fair man
andl have no doubt Maj. McDowtlli equally
as good. I shall certainly support the ticket.
Is Senator Cameron responsible for my de
feat? He is charged with it. But that's all
right. He has good cause to be against me.
I openly opposed his re-election to the United
States senate. I have no fault to find with
anyone."
