There has been no Blate agreed upon by the Republican leaders for the of fices for which candidates will be nomi nated at the coming state convention. The convention will probably be held during the last week in August. AS TO COLONEL HAWKINS. The news cabled from Manila that Colonel Alexander L. Hawkins, com mander of the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, now in the Philippines, has been wounded in a skirmish with the insurgents, has drawn particular at tention to him as a good inan to bo supported for the nomination for stato treasurer. He is a valiant soldier of two wars. His record in the civil war is of the best. His brilliant services in tho recent crisis with Spain and his gal lant work now under way in the Phil ippines, it is argued, must command the admiration and applause of every American citizen. He has won the hearts of his fellow Pennsylvanians. There is no honor in the gift of the citizens of this commonwealth. In the opinion of many leading men in the Republican party, to which he is not entitled. The estimate his immediate neighbors have of him was shown when they gave him a unanimous nomination for the state senate, to which office he was elected during his absence abroad with his regiment. PREFERRED TO FIGHT. Colonel Hawkins preferred to re main with his command, although urgently requested to return home and take part in the United States sena torial contest. He has not yet quali fied for the office of state senator. It Is not known that he would accept a nomination for state treasurer. He is not a practical politician. Then, too, there is some uncertainty as to wheth er he will reach home before the Re publican state convention meets. Thosu who are advocating his nomination propose that he be placed upon the ticket without waiting to hear from him. While the election takes place next November, the state treasurer will not be inducted into office before next year, so that there will be ample opportunity for Colonel Hawkins to do all the fighting that may be desired of him in the Philippines before that time. It is predicted that If his name shall go before the state convention his nomination will be made by acclama tion. His election would follow with a whirlwind campaign by a tremendous majority. ANOTHER SOLDIER NAMED. While the suggestion of the nomina tion of Colonel Hawkins has been much talked about, there were some friends of Lieutenant Colonel J. E. Harnett, who is also with this regi ment, who propose him for this office. Like Colonel Hawkins, he is a resi lient of Washington county, and of the two is perhaps the best known among the active men of the Republican party i'.i view of the fact that he held the office of deputy secretary of the com monwealth at Harrisburg. Lieutenant Colonel Harnett la a good soldier, is titrable and popular, and v*juld make rn excellent ccndidat • ID:* a'.ate treas urer. There is h 'iopu!ai - r.towrnent In some of the oautrrn countU sin favor of the nomination of "Manufacturer Rosier, of Montgomery, for state treas urer. THE GOVERNOR AT WORK. Governor Stone is ttill 1-ard at work upon the bills which wore passed by the last legislature ard which were left for him to act upon. He has shown courage and discriminating considera tion of these important matters by wielding his veto ax with effect In knocking out a number of objection able bills that were allowed to go through the legislative mill during the closing hourß of the session. The legis lature was not unusually prolific in turning out new laws, although there were a large number of bills of a purely local character that got through* •■mil lloiivlly In New York.
