These bills nro considered tho most thorough and comprehensive moasuros for civil service roform ovor submitted for the government of a commonwealth, and If adopted by tho stato convention will, the commlttoo say, meet the views of tho most ardent advo cate of olvll servleo reform. Tho bills woro tramod months ago by State Chairman Quay and a commlttoo of which John Kussell Young Is chairman. Tho principal bill provides for civil ser vleo in the state government and In cities and counties containing mora than 150,000 inhabitants. It authorizes the appoint ment by tho governor of threo non-partisan civil service- oommlsslonors, who shall classify all salaried ofllcos in tho stato, and prepare rules and regulations for tho survlco, and make an annual report. Open competitive examinations aro provided for, and preference must be given to army and navy vetorans. State olllcinls aro forbid den from paying any public servant un less duly appointod uudcr tho provisions of tho act.

Tho ponalty for violation of the act is Imprisonment not exceeding ono year and a lino of not over luUO. Bill number two prohibits tho payment of poll tax by another porson than tho cit izen assessed, and makes it a mlsdomeunor for any person to attempt to voto on a tax receipt Improperly obtalnod. Ponalty, $500 line and Imprisonment one year. The third bill makes It a mlsdomcanor for uny policeman, fireman, or publio om ploye or elected ofllcer, or any official of a railroad or traction company or public corporation, to lnlluenco or solicit any voter at a primary or general olectlon, the penalty being n lino not exceeding $3,000 and imprisonment not exceeding two yoars. It Is likewiso mado a misdemeanor to assess the wages or salary of any publio ofllcer or employo for political purposes. Tho fourth bill provides for tho govern ment of cities of the second class, the only ones affected being Pittsburg and Alle ghany, and Is elaborate In Its provisions. Tho dolcgates to tho stato convontion, who will eloct eight delegatos-at-large and two candidates for congrossmen-afc-largo, met In cauous last night and agreed upon a portion of the tlckot, as follows: Delogutos-at-largo: Govoruor Daniel 11, Hastings, James Klverson, publisher of tho Philadelphia Inqulror; Frauds J.

Allot the gentlemen slatod for delegates to the St. Louis convention are friendly to Senator Quay's presidential aspirations.

Notwithstanding tills apparent victory for Loach the friends of Deputy Attorney General Joliu J.', kikiu, or juui ana, who is Loach's opponent, claim that their man will have a majority of tho dot- eirntos In his favor. After a conference betwoon a number ot the leaders, Insting ovor two hours, tho announcement was mnde at 1 o'clock till morning that Senator Quay has decidod to settle the unpleasant controversy which has arisen over tho state chairmanship by succeeding himself In that position, "tor tho present at least."
