THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHENEY. - - - Ultor. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1895 The Situation. Since the fight in the Republican ranks began, twenty-two delegates have been elected to the coming State convention from the following counties: Lackawanna, 6; Centre, 2; Clearfield, 3; Green, 1: Sullivan, 1; Columbia, 1; Northampton, 4; and Bucks, 4, and the summary is as 112 illows: For Hastings and Gilkcson 20 For Cameron and Quay 2 To the Hastings column may be added the following delegates chosen prior to the opening of Senator Quays fight on the administration viz: Allegheny 25; Bradford 3; Blair 4; Cambria. 3; Washington 4; Wyoming 1; making a total of 60. The following are expected togo to the Hastings column, Philadelphia 65; Luzerne 9; Lycoming 3; Lehigh 4; Montgomery 6; Westmoreland 6; York 5; making the Hastings total 159; others will be added, Quay's defeat therefore seems assured. Luzerne holds her convention Aug ust 9. The Wilkes B.nrc Record says: If it is true that Quay expects to pick up his delegates throughout the State he had better begin. So far, he has made a might}' poor showing On Saturday the primaries will be held in Luzerne, aud lie must not look for any better treatment here than he has received anywhere else, Luzerne is solid Tor the administra tion.—Ex. Aug. 2. Saturday** Delegate Election*, Phila. Press Aug sth. The elections in several counties on Saturday for delegates to the Republican State Convention sum up very much as was conceded by "The Press' 1 on Saturday morning, except in Luzerne County, where the Administration appears to have carried a district that had been quite generally conceded to the Quay people. Governor Hastings gets the nine delegates in Lu/.erne county, where but seven were expected, and also one in Lackawanna, which with the six previously elected in that country makes the whole delegation ot seven solid for the Administration. Sen ator Quay gets the delegates from Dauphin, Mr. Cameron's home coun ty; the one from Clinton, the one from Elk and the two from Hunting don, while the reports from Susque hanna leave that county somewhat in doubt. It will be something of a surprise, under all the circumstances if it lias not gone for Quay. There was no contest in Dauphin county, where Mr. Cameron's friends are dominant, and for the sake of Mr. Cameron's future wanted the dele* gation for Quay. Nor was there any contest in Elk, where the Quay candidate was elected without op« position. In Clinton county ex-Con gressman Hopkins, being a free Bilver sympathizer with Senator Cameron, made the fight in behalf of the Quay delegate, and the result is not unexpected. In Huntingdon Judge Orlady's delegates have baen beaten. These results in no wise change the original calculations, save to better the figures of the Administra tion supporters so far as Luzerne and Lackawanna counties are cerned. The counties that Quay carried on Saturday have very gen erally been conceded to him by those capable of making a concervative and fair estimate, and he was origi nally conceded two of the Lacka wanna delegates and four of those from Luzerne. In these two coun ties, however, he will have cot one. Leaving Susquehanna in doubt, the total number of delegates elected since Senator Quay opened war publicly upon the State Administra tion by declaring his purpose to de feat Chairman (Jilkeson is forty-one. These are divided as follows: For Hastings and Gilkeson 30 For Quay and Cameron 11 Showing that the Governor has carried almost three delegates to Senator Quay's one. Let it be re membered also that these delegates have all been chosen in counties of the interior where Senator Quay's supporters have been attempting to arouse a mischievous prejudice against the cities. And several of the stronger Hastings counties have yet to hold their elections. The Democrats of this, the 44th Judicial district, will have to father the contest now in session in this di«lrict. While it is tru», that many Democrats did not approve of the proceeding, yet this fact does not re move the sting. The tax payers hold the Democratic party respon sible for the proceedings and they will cast their ballot accordingly at the (all election. DtMwalli cmraliM. Pursuant to call the Democratic county oonventlon convened iu the ocurt house at Laporte on Tuesday August 6th. County chairman E. J. Mullen called the convention to order at S p. m., announcing that the first order ot business was the call of delegates and proceeded with the work. Delegates answered as fol lows: Bernlce—John Donavan, Lawrence Lowry. Cherry—Owen Sweeney, John Roba. Wm. Murray, Ransom Thrasher and W C, Graifly. Colley—D. E Dieffenbach, R. H. All son, Davidson—D. M. Taylor, M. A. Horn Wm. Bobbins. Dushore—Patrick O'Nell, J E. Finan. Elkland—D. Brown and Clias Fawcett. Forks—Martin O'Brien. Henry Ritchlin Forksville—Wm. Farrell. G L- Bower. Fox—Bernard Bohnand Reuben Brown. Ilillsgrove—James Keef Chas. Haas. Jamison—Lorenz Pflager. P.irvin Kile Laporte boro—R. Karns, Wm. Kennedy. Laporte twp.—John Rasencrans and J. H. Ganßel. Lopez—A. B. Messersmitb, Mat. Quinn and Riley Steinback. Mt Vernon—Phil Seculse, and J. F. Bennett. Shrewsbury—Henry Cummings and S. Bud man. With the list of delegates com plete the convention proceeded to organize. John E. Finan of Du shore was elected president of the convention and Owen Sweeney of Cherry and Chas. Haas of Hills grove vice presidents. James Gan sel was elected secretary and Henry Ritchlin and Lorenz Pflager assist ant secretaries. This completed the organization of the body when County Chairman Mullen announced that the first order of business would be the ap pointment by the chair—a committee of three on resolutions. According ly E. J. Mullen, Uitssel Karns and James H. Keef were selected. The committee proceeded to the traverse jury room and were absent from the court room a few moments when they returned and reported the Republican part guilty of many errors. It was the same old chest nut, however that comes to pass each time our Democratic hrethern meet in convention. As of yore, the res olution boomed Cleveland so high that it put us in mind of the freeks of birds. The story runs like this. "A bird soared high in the air, and readied that point when nothing of its body was visible ex< ept its— modesty forbids us togo farther, but if the reader will compare the make up of 0 rover Cleveland a* President of the United States to the sequel of this story, you will have solved the problem." The letter "P" of the music box was also struck and peeled forth a melody in praise of the ex-Governor Pattison. This reminded us of the song, "After the ball is over." The resolutions were adopted, but no enthusiasm followed. A motion was made to extend thanks to the committee for preparing the same. This was not considered necessary, however, and the conven tion proceeded to do "up" their business. At this juncture the Chairman announced that nominations were in order. Hon. Russel Karns moved that nominations he made according to rule 7 and section 5 and 6 of the party guide. This was argued to some exient when Chairman Mullen arose and remarked that the rules were law so far as the party was concerned and the proceedings of the convention would have to be guidod accordingly. With this flurry over, nominations for Sheriff was declared in order. Ellis Swank of Muncy Valley was nominated and so was George Walker of Hillsgrove. A ballot was taken with the follow ing result: Swank, 24 votes; Walker 13. Swank was declared the nom inee. Ellis is a firstrate fellow and his many friends in the convention were pleased all over with his suc cess. FOll PROTHOXOTART. Now came the tug of war and centre of attraction, because it was learned on Mouday that the dele gates were so divided for the several nominees, that it would take a nnm« her of ballots to reach a choice, and when the chairman announced that nominations for Prothonotary ect., came next each individual drew his pocket-pencil and paper and tallied the vote. Candidates were nominated as follows: Morgan Gavitt, Laporte; Frank ■Luscl), Dushore; Edward Franke, Forks; E. E. Mecum. Hillsgrove. The Ist, 21 and 3d ballots results ed as follows: Gavitt, 17 votes; Lusch, J2; Franke. 0; and Mecum 2. With the 3d ballot over Mecum was dropped from the list. The 4th ballot was—Gavitt, 17 votes; Lusch, 14 and Franke, 6. The sth ballot ended the contest when Gavitt was nominated over Lusch bj' a vote of 21 to J 6. Mr. Gavitt has served ns Deputy County Treasurer for the past two years and in this position has made many new friends throughout the county This closed the business of the convention, bo far u nomination* wera concerned, when matters «»f Una important were looked after. The committee who had l»een ap pointed by the Standing Committee to ravine the rules on voting for Ist and '2d choice of candidates at the primary elections reported a change relative to the 2d choice. The reso lution read that the voters shall vote for bnt one candidate in the fluid and the count would determine the choice of the district. For in stance; Tom, Dick nnd Harry are candidates. Tom receives 15 votes in your district, Dick 12 and Harry 10. Tom having a majority is first choice and Dick second choice. Heretofore ea'jh voter voted Ist and 2d choice, hence the minority of the distiict stood no chance of securing the delegates for their choice. This resolution was adopted and was con sidered a valuable addition to the rules of the party. A resolution was also adopted ai ders »g Att.v. I). C. DeW tt of Tos wnnda as being' a good Democrat and a competent man to sit on the Superior Court bench. The resolu tion requested the Sullivan county delcgate to the State convention to use all honorable means in securing Mr. DeWitt.s nomination as one of the Superior Court Judges. Il is evident that Mr. DeWitfc is a favorite of the Sullivan county De mocracy, because this resolution passed with a hurrah, after which Mr. Mullen entertained the gathering with a few remarks pertaining to the work necessary to be done by the Democracy that success may follow. With Mr. Mullen's remarks to a close the convention adjourned. NOTES. The convention was in session 1 hour and a half. The progress of business was slow What would it have been in the absence of Chairman Mullen ? Lorenz Ptlager of.l ain i son, as usual gave the boys a few remai ks. Loreuz is r.o skin of a sausage, if he does eat hav. At the close of the convention rain (ell like sand through a siveand the delegation was detained in the corridors of the court hou*e f'>r several minutes. At this meeting dissatisfaction of the ticket was heard on every Bide. The Democratic party is not all harmony, by any means. This fact was vindicated after the convention. Atty. DeWitt has the good will of the Sullivan county Democracy nnd should he receive the nomina tion as one of the Superior Court Judges, he can depend upon it, the voters of Sullivan county will give him their support irrespective of party.
