Rallyln# Around Delamater 'I he political situation in Pennsyl vania is settling itself rapidly. The great stampede to Pattison, pre dicted by his friends, has not come. Very few of the Independents who elected him in 'B2 are with him now. They have nothing against the ex- Governor as a mau, although criticis ing some of his official acts, but things have changed, and there is no reason for supporting him this year. Nearly all of the Independ ents are back in the Republican party to remain there, and the scat tering ones who are not are more than balanced by Democratic deser tions. From all over the State come re ports of a most satisfactory condi tion. The bttßiness men are for Delamater. They recognize in him a candidate who fairly won the nomination and who is fully capable of filling the high office of Governor of a great Commonwealth. They are for him, too, because he represents the one great issue before the peo ple—protection to home industries' as opposed to the free trade theories upon which the Democrats have placed their candidates. The farmers are for him because he not only represents protection, but is pledged with the Republican candidates for the Legislature to an economical administration and to re lief from taxation. The voting Re publicans arc for him because ho is himself a youn2 Repblican. What can the Democrats ex pec* from such ;ioe tabulation as thy*? DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, An Interesting arid d Hotlly Contested Convention. The Ticket—Jlembtf, Ruitel Karntf.Treasurer, Wrin. Mur ray, County Commissioners, S. K. Mcßride, Daniel Scnnlin, Auditors, J. H. Spencer,Geo. C. Wright. I At 2:30 p. in., Tuesday a large ( body of Democracy sprinkled with Republicans of Sullivan county, as sembled iu the Court House to hear tfie result of the contest for nomina tions by detnocracy to the various offices. Tho interest was mostly centered upon the Tieasurer contest and many were the predictions there on. Murray and Smith the candi dates each hod their friends and all that was possible, was done to save their man. It was leariied on Mon day that each of these contestants (Murray and Smith) had received 17 delegates making a tie, as it re quired 18 to nominate. This raised much enthusiasm atict politicians were seen entering our town by the break of day with hopes that they could persuade some uninterested delegate to climb over in his bout and thus save the country frotn dis ttUfction. All argument that would have any effect on the case was brought before the delegates and talked thread bear. When both candidates arrived in town however, tile lfeaders of th£ party got them together and a compromise sug gested and judging from the turn in the convention, was quite effective. llussel Karns, chairman of the Standing Committee called the con vention to order, after which Hon. B. S. Collins of Dushore was made chairman and upon taking his seat addressed the convention thus: "Gentlemen of the convention and Democrats, I thank you for the honor conferred upon me and I as sure you that in the discharge of my j duty as such, fair plav shall be my guide. We hate met to nominate, candidates for the different state and county offices. When they are nominated it is to be expected that all will 'tumble' in and give them their hearty support." However, this was not all taken in by the delegates, as dissenting voices were heard when the nominations of cer tain candidates were voted upon unanimously. After tho applause which followed Bryan's short speech had gone out through the roof of the Court l House or some other place business was proceeded with by the election of John Mullen and F. Cfchflee as Vice Presidents, David Osier and Mathias Gilbert as Secretaries, then followed the calling of credentials. Each township was represented by, its quota of delegates. A committe on resolutions vtos then appointed by the chair. They were as follows: David Osier, A. Farrell and Fred Rehrle. For Con gressional conferees, David Osier and W. B. Hill wei"e elected and were instructed for Ex-Senator S. P. Wolverton of Strtibury, for congress. It was further agreed that M. J. Lull be the choice of tho convention for Senator and that he be allowed to choose his own conferees. The next in order was the noniiria tion of Member. Russel Karns and L. B. Speaker were both naeaed. The latter withdrew however, ba fore a ballot was taken and the nom ination of Karns was made unani mous. Following this nomination was the anticipated great excitement of the day—the naming of their can didate for County Treasurer. The first man nominated was Wm. Mur ray, this was seconed by several and then followed the nomination of A. L. Smith and was also seconed ly several delegates but before a ballot tfas taken Mr. Smith withdrew his name as a candidate in order to make harmony in the party. This left a clean sweep for Murray and he was nominated. The nomination of County Com missioners was next on the pro grame. They were nominated as follows: C. Caseman, of Fox; D. Scaulin; of Cherry ; S. K. Mcßride, of IlillsGrove ; John Kietnan, of La- Porte twp.; G. Litzleinan, of Cherry. The first ballot taken was not counted, as the secretaries could not make connections ou a count. SECOND BALLOT. Case man, 18 Scaulin, 12 Mcßride, ; 17 Kiernan 13 Litztemau, 10 Neither receiving a majority of the delegates, no nomination was made on this ballot. THIRD BALLOT.

She re mained at this place until about two weeks ago when she went to Elmira, called on a lady of her ac quaintance and asked to leave her two-year-old son while she went out shopping, since which time nothing is known of her whereabouts.
