HAnmsnuRd, August 28.
The attention of tho country from Maine
to California has been drawn to Harrisburg
to-day and Republicans throughout' this
broad land of ours havo been interested in
tho campaign of assassination, which ended
in the inglorious withdrawal of Mr. II. F.
Gilkeson from tho contest for tho State
Chairmanship, as the report in our detailed
account shows.
Tho convention was a notable ono in many
respects, besido tho interest aroused over tho
chairmanship. It was the largest numeri
cally and attracted a larger numder of out
siders than any preceding ono, and attracted
more newspaper men, every leading news
paper in tho country being represented. Tho
newspaper men wero under tho care of Col.
Georgo Nox McCain, and he took care of the
200 and over very efficiently. It was notable
also in tho number of prominent men present.
Senator Quay, in the lightest of summer
costumes, sat directly behind Governor Hast
ings, who in turn was directly behind lioiso
Penrose, tho magnetic young Senator from
tho Eighth ward of Philadelphia, while
Chris. Magee, the favorite son of Pittsburg,
looking paler than usual, sat just across tho
aisle. District Attorney Georgo S. Graham,
of Philadelphia, one of tho brainiest men in
the party, was thore in close communion with
David Martin, who was chewing gum, and
Charles A. Porter, who got mad becauso lie
was called a member of tho Hog Combine.
Thomas V. Cooper still talked peace when
seconding tho nomination of popular Jack
Robinson, the fighting member of tho party,
for temporary chairman.
Tho convention was Quay from the begin
ning, and when Robinson was elected
tho Senator took the reins in his own
hands and cut out tho work rapidly,
so that tiio wliolo allair mil not last
tli rue hours. As each prominent man entered
tho hall ho was greeted with rounds of ap
plauso from the adherents of his faction.
This was particularly noticeable in tho cases
of Quay and Hastings, tiio lesser lights all
coming in for a fair share.
Tho restriction of admission to tho opera
house to delegates, state committeemen and
nowspaper men, as the result of an agreement
between the managers of both sides to avoid
conflicts, and not more than GOO or 800 peoplo
wero allowed insido. Tho crush outsido at
tho stage entrance was simply awful, Third
street being packed tight.
Governor Hastings was an ob'eet of pity
from the more thoughtful Quay adherents, in
that he had permitted himself to bo drawn
into a conllict by tho combination when ho
should, with propriety, havo remained
neutral. Iiut ambition, that sin by which
fell tho angels, was too strong and the presi
dential bee buzzed too loudly in his bonnet
to bo resisted, and ho fell a victim to tho
wiles of tho Combine leaders. Ho is hence
forth no power in Pennsylvania politics and
is relogated to tho background. This is tho
only regretablo feature of tho contest, as no
Governor in lato years entered ollico with
such a bright outlook.
Tiio convention loaves no soreness apparent
upon tho surface, as Senator Quay used tho
power given him in a magnanimous spirit and
refrained from striking a fallen foe. In this
contest he has shown tho capacity of a great
loader and organizer of men which will
increase his power and his prostigo in tho
natiunal as well as state councils of his party.
Tiiat he will continue to so use It there is no
room to question, and what threatened to
disrupt the Republican party has happily
passed away.
J. F. Finney, of tho Minors' Journal, was
hero and worked hard to got tho Schuylkill
boys into the convention, but tho law was too
tight. He did succeed in getting David H.
Llewellyn appointed an assistant sergeant-ut-arms.
Delegates Dengler and Rail could not bo
mistaken when they called out their choice
for temporary chairman.
Philadelphia sent sevoral delegations on
both sidos that had better beon left at homo.
Tho District Attorney of Philadelphia re
ceived a telegram in convention addressed to
"Farmer George 8. Graham, Hog Combine,
Convention."
T, Spcor Dickson, Jack Robinson's ablo
editorial assistant, was on tho stage shouting
for his chief, as was also Taylor, of the
Chester Times.
Tom Cooper was substituted for Quigley, of
Delaware county, and the little county gained
greatly by tho change.
Judgo Harry White, of Indiana county,
and Judge Miller, of Clarion, wero conspicu-
ous In tho crowd. The latter and the Gover
nor got a little heated in conversation on
Monday.
Senator Quay was substituted for I). R.
Corbu's, of Reaver, and Jack Robinson for
Hlpplfe, in Delaware.
Tho hotels of Harrisburg did an enormous
business and could nut nearly provide for the
crowd, and dozens had to sleep in chairs and
on tho steps of tho court house and post
office. n.
HOME, SWEET HOME.
Townsmen ltctuin I'liim llai rlsliurn foot
sore and Weary, Hut Jubilant.
Tho excitement attending the Republican
Stato (Convention has somewhat diminished,
and tliB dazzling effect of Senator Quay's
great lctory is giving way to a calm, do
liboratl contemplation of the battle, the re
sult tad tho contingencies. Among those
who ims giving the matter most thought aro
tho pgflplc who mado the trip to Harrisburg
to witness the thrilling scenes attendant upon
sucli oacasioiis and, incidentally, to let the
leaderfof tho party know that they were
Hastlnjjs endorsers of Senator Quay. The
first part of their mission was a complete
SUCCOS& tho second fell rather flat, for by
the time they readied the capital tho leaders
bad matters so arranged that it mado no
differoico to them whether the Hastings
clubs endorsed Quay, or tho Quay clubs en
dorsed Gllkesou, and special delegations be
camo ordinary visitors with no show for dis
tinction or special favors. This accounts for
two very prominent Shenandoah politicians
sleeping on the steps of the Commonwealth
Hotel fin Tuesday night and another promi
nent gentleman being obliged to fold him
self up in a hotel chair for tlie night as an
alternative to walking tho streets of tho
city until the dawn of day betokened
tho approaching hours of the great
struggle for political supremacy. Tho
stories told of experiences on tho eve
of tho battle aro varied in size and general
character and would bo too sovere on the
every day record of some of our townsmen if
told here. Ono man went to Harrisburg with
tho expectation that when ho arrived at
Harrisburg lie would find Senator Quay
standing on tho platform of tho railway
station surrounded by leading and lesser
lights df the G. O. P.; that when tho pilgrim
from the coal ileitis would step from tho train
"Mat"' would advance, grasp him by tho
hand with a I'ni-so-glad-you-have-como grip
and exclaim, "Welcome, loyal son of Schuyl
kill, allow me to express my gratitude for the
gallantjfight you made in my behalf at tho
primaries and extend the best Harrisburg
affords as a slight token of apprecia
tion." Ut course, all this was but
a day dream, and there is nothing to indicato
that "Matt" knows to tho present time
whether tho loyal son of Schuylkill was in
Harrisburg. Hut such is lifo in the field of
politics and nothing is to bo gained by any
who may bo disappointed showing their teeth
and threatening to down any of tho leaders
who may have slighted them, as when tho
next opportunity arrives the blazo of the
camp fires will sweep from memory tho over
sights that now give offense and, besides, tho
kicking tho offended one may indulge in will
bo like a pinhole in a water melon. How
ever, there are no indications of a serious out
break in the ranks of those, who have re
turned from Harrisburg. All say they never
witnessed a more thrilling and enthusiastic
time than was presented in Harrisburg yester
day as a result of tho harmonious merging of
the great Republican forces, and they say
they will never forget tho scenes. Among
those who returned last night wero State

THE CONVENTION IN DETAIL,
filllicsoii Names Senator Quay 1'or State
C'lmlrimm.
HAKWSHuna, Aug. 29. Tho Republican
State convention mot hore, yestorday and
unanimously agreed upon tho following
ticket: State troasuror, Benjamin J. Hay
wood of Mercer; for suporior court judges,
James A. Hoavor of Oontro county, E. N.
Wlllard of Laokawivnnn, Charles K. Itlco
of Luzorne, Georgo B. Orlady of Hunt
ingdon, John J. Wlckham of Beaver and
Howard Hoeder of Northampton. Sonntor
Quay was unanimously chosen for chair
man of the Republican state committee.
Tho rostilt of the oonvoutlon was ncora
ploto, overwhelming victory for Sonator
Quay, who has, during tho past two
months, fought battle for tho mastery
in Pennsylvania politics which has at
tracted tho attention of tho whole coun
try. Ho had his political oneinlos com
pletely at his morcy, but rofralncd from
pushing his udvantngo at this time, al
though ono of tho sonator's ltouteuants
romarkod, after tho convention, that "he
has a lot of people to punish who will oc
oupy his attention during tho next two
yoars."
In the opinion of politicians Senator
Quay's grasp on Pennsylvania politics Is
now stronger than it over waB boforo, and
evon though his opponents continue tho
war they have waged against him, It will
require years to get their organization in
such shopo as to accomplish his political
downfall.
Sonator Qnny Is tho hero, as well ns tho
Idol of Pennsylvania politicians of all de
grees of promlnonco. His rooms at tho
Loohlol hotel have been oonntantly be
sieged slnco the convention ondod by mon
anxious to pay homage to his matchloss
leadership. The sonator takes ull of the
pralso and congratulations that nra being
showored upon him with his usual
stoicism, and so far as outward appear
ances go his doraoanor Is just the same as
when tho fight seemed to be going against
him.

About Forty Violators of the Law Said
to be Slated.
A CIRCUS TEAM MAKES A DASH !
One of the Cowboys Makes Practical Use of
His Lasso Miners Burned by an
Explosion of Gas, but Not
Dangerously.
Many of tho saloonkeepers of town aro on
the anxious bench again slnco it hits become
known that several of their number have
been reported to tho state league of the Re
tail Liquor Dealors Association.
It was Authentically stated that nearly
forty dealers havo thus far been reported for
disobeying the notice scut broadcast by the
association requesting all dealers to uphold
the lirooks high license law and not sell
liquor on Sunday.
It seems that some dealors havo attached
little importance to the matter and say tiiat
it is only a sort of scheme to scare them into
joining tho association and help swell its
ranks for other purposes.
However this Inay lie, tiio local branch
seems determined to carry out its threat to
prosecute all violators, and tho gentleman
who furnishes tho information says that
within tho past few weeks, or since tho
notice was issued, violations havo been de
tected in 15 places in the First ward, 3 in the
Second, 7 in the Third, 1 in tho Fourth and
12 in tho Fifth. It is also stated that about
two-thirds of the saloons in Girardvillo havo
been spotted.
The informant also states tiiat no decisive
action will bo taken by the state league un
til tho next liccnso court, when remon
strances will be filed against tho applications
of those who have been violating the law.
A prominent saloonkeeper and member of
tho league said to-day, "Some peoplo do not
seem to realize that tho saloon men are ear
nest in trying to enforco the Rrooks law, but
it is just this way: Our business is becoming
overcrowded and the only way by which wo
can make our places pay is to Kelp weed out
a lot of tho small places that live almost
wholly on Sunday and other illegal traffic."

This one was Thomas. Ho was burned about
tho head, face and neck. Morowsky was
slightly burned on tho face and hands.
Tho men were working on tho night shift
and went into tho breast about an hour after
tho day shift had quit work. They did not

A Cirrus Team Kims.
As tho string of cage, baud and other
wagons of tho circus wended their way down
tho steep road from the Trotting park this
morning just before the street parade, one of
the teams took fright and tho driver, a man
named Mitchell, of town, lost control of
them. There was a scattering of elephants,
camels and other attractions of tho show to
give tho runaway horses a clear road, but
they did not run far as one of the cowboys
stopped tiio team with tho aid of his lawo.
Nobody was hurt.
