No Break In Senator Quay's Pennsylva
nia Support.
"NO SECOND CHOICE" INDORSED.
Tho Republican State Convention Declined
to Heed the Effort of Mageo and Robin
son in Behalf or McKimey-Quay
Retains the State Chalrmansalp.
HATtniSBUltct. April 21. Representatives
of tho Republicans of Pennsylvania as
sembled here In convention yesterday nhd
formally launched tho boom of United
States Senator M. S. Quay for tho presi
dential nomination. This feat wns no-
eompllshed amid scones of much turbu
lence. Men ordinarily sedato lost tholr
tempers mid said harsh things to oacli
other, and at least one distinguished gen
tleman made demonstrations of vlolonoo.
Tho violent scones were tho result of tho
efforts of tho nntl-Quay delegates to so
euro tho adoption of a resolution naming
McKlnley ns tho second cholco of tho con
vention. After nn oxcltlng dobato tho
proposition was defeated by u voto of 178
to 03.
The convontlon nominated tho slated
candidates for cougrossmen-at-largo nnd
selected tho dclcgatos nnd electors-nt-lnrgo
named by Wednesday night's caucus.
Tho platform drawn up by Senator Quay's
friends was adopted without material
change. Galusha A. Grow and S. A.
Dnvouport wore nominated for eongross-mcn-nt-lnrgo.
In fact, it was n Quay con
vention all through, although thoso op
posed to that gontleman mado things
lively on tho floor of tho convention and
In the committee room.
Ex-Speaker Houry K. Boyer, as tempo
rary chairman, paid n glowing trlbuto to
Senator Quay in his opening address, as
did Amos M. Mylln, who was olected per
manent chairman.
Tho platform, after reiterating tho woll
known party principles, lias this to say of
Pennsylvania's eandldato for tho presi
dency: "Tho timo hns como when tho 6tnte,
which has so long and faithfully led tho
Republican column, mny justly and prop
erly submit its own preforonco for tho Re
publican nomination for tho presidency.
In tbo presentation of tho Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay tho Republicans not nlono
of Pennsylvania, but of tho entire Union,
will recognlzo ono of their foremost lead
ers wiso In council and brilliant and nblo
In action, at once tho type of tho American
citizen, scholar, soldier and statesman,"
Senator Quay's action In deciding to
succeed himself ns state chairman had tho
effect of robbing tho convention of much
of its fireworks. It is gonornlly belloved
that Senator Quay will relinquish tbo
chairmanship after tho untlonal convon
tlon. Tho senator left for Washington at
0:40 yestorday morning, resisting tho Im
portunities of his friends that ho remain
until after tho convention. Whllo ho was
hero tho senator was continually besieged
by visitors, nnd it was necessary to lildo
himsolf in order to obtain rost.
Tho meeting of tho resolutions commit
too was not altogether harmonious, reso
lutions favoring district caucuses for
United Statos senator to succeed Cameron
and making MoKlnley a second cholco for
president boing overwhelmingly defoated.
They wero strongly advocated by C. L.
Mageo and Congressman Robiuson.
Notwithstanding their dofoat In com
mltteo tho quostlous wore brought up in
tho convention propor. Dologoto SchafTor,
of Delawuro county, offered tho sonntorial
amendment resolution, which was defeated
A disturbance nroso when Congressman
Robinson offered ns an amendment a reso
lution Instructing tho dolegntos-nt-largo
for McKlnley for second cholco. Cries of
"No, nol" and "Quay, Quay I" enmo from
nil ovor tho hall.
A motion to lay this on tho tablo was
mado by Mr. Pottlt, of Philadelphia, and
the chair decided tho quostlon not de
batable. Mr. Robiuson Insisted on speaking on n
point of order, nnd tho chair ordered tho
roll call to proceed, tho ayes nnd nays
having been called for. Tho result was a
pandemonium of noiso, during which Mr.
Robinson stood in tho aisle, slinking his
fist nt tho chairman nnd shouting that ho
"doraondod his rights."
Order was finally obtained, tho chair
withdraw his ruling, and .Mr. Robinson
took tho plntform and mado his speech In
support of hU resolution. Ho declared ho
was hoartlly In favor of Senator Quay's
candidacy and would, ns a delegate, voto
for him at tho St. Louis convention. Ho
felt however, that back of tho desire of
Senator Quay's succoss tlioro Is a feeling
In favor of William McKinloy, of Ohio, If,
after all, It Is not posslblo to coufor tho
high honor of the nomination upon Mr.
Quay. Mr. Robinson was Interrupted at
this point by loud ohoors for MoKlnley,
with strong shouts for Reed.
Senator Ponroso responded to Robin
son's speech. Ho brought tho delegates to
tholr feot with tho most genuine enthu
siasm of tho day when he declared ho was
opp'osod to any action that would belittle
nnd mnko ridiculous tho grand eompll
nioiit the convention has paid to Senator
Quay. Mr. Ponroso nceused Mr. Robinson
of working a small politloal echomo for
his own political aggrandizement. Mr.
Robinson attempted angrily to Interrupt
Mr. Ponroso, but tho crowd hooted him
down.
Order was finally obtained, and tho roll
call procoedod. Tho proposition was de
feated: Yeas. 65; navs. 178.
The Presidential electors chosen were those
agreed upou in the different Congressional
districts. In tho Thirtieth district Har
rison ltall, the young Republican leader of
Mahauoy City, was named, and E, V. Wlldo,
of Luzerne couuty, was choseu for tho
Twelfth district.
"Jack" Itobinsou, who aspires to succeed
Don Cameron as United Statos Senator,
stimulated and encouraged by Chris. Magce
and tho friends of David Martin, not only
failed in his effort to inject a boom for Mc
Klnley, but brought down upon his head tho
emphatic condemnation of the convention.
Both Itobinsou and Mageo were roundly
hhwetj, and the eloquence nml' vigor with
which Senator Penrose replied In responso to
Kobillson's tirades makes him, next to Quay,
the hfcro of the hour. Ills appeal In behalf
of Pennsylvania's eandldato caught the
convention like wildfire.
Tho course of ltoblnsim, Mageo and Flllin,
it is universally conceded, has seriously
damaged the McKlnley cnuso In this state. It
was not their love fur tho Ohio man so much
as their desire to humiliate Quay. "Jack"
lioblilsun has apparently took himself out of
tho Senatorial race.
air. .Magce made a speccn against tno
Indorsement of Mr. Quay for prosidont.
Ho snld ho represented a McKlnley dis
trict, and as a delegate? to tho St. Louis
convontlon ho would be recreant to his
trust If ho did not publicly enter his pro
test hgalnst Mr. Quay. This ended tho
fight mi tho platform, and at 4:13 it was
llnnlly adopted.
Tho last action of tho convention wns to
ro-oldct Senator Quay ns stato chairman
by acclamation.
CONVENTION ECIIOKS.
Tho Schuylkill delegation at Harrisburg
was solid for Leach for chairman, all reports
to thaeontrary notwithstanding, and would
havo Voted for him had tho question como
up, in spito of tho efforts of some Schuylkill
politicians who labored hard to turn them.
Harrison J. Iiall is tho Presidential elector
from this end of tho county. Kphralm
Barlow is the member for this district on the
stato Committee.
Carrying water on botli shoulders is rather
dangerous work. Some of it will be spilt, as
ono delegate not a suite one, either will
find oitt.
The Senator from tho 30th district is reported
as not being pleased with ttio Uelegates'
action, This is too, too bad, indeed; but
such things can be, and yet not overcome us.
Leach had tho chairmanship in his grasp,
sure; tlio caucus showed it conclusively, but
had to yield for harmony. Ho will do good
work in the campaign.
Rout D. D. Phillips, of Gordon, it is in
timated, may be placed upon tho stato execu
tive committee. He well deserves it.
Allegheny did not appear to cut much of a
figuiu in the stato convention this year.
What is tho matter with Jack Itobinsou 1
He appears to havo got down on the wrong
sido of tho fence, which is rather unusual for
Congressman Jack.
Only one Schuylkill delegate voted for
McKinley as second choice, and he was for

pers wjis in Pittsburg today In conferenco
'With tno local leaders of the American

stated that tho eight hour movement was

day on May 1, and that most of them
frould get It without a struggle
In some trades tbo hours will bo reduced
to only nino hours, as it is not tho desire
of tho federation to proclpitnto any
changes in industrial conditions that will
prqvo too violent. Continuing, ho snld:
"I do not want to predict that thoro will
or will not bo strikes. When movements
of this kind nro started there is no tollln
whoro thoy will cud. At tho prosont timo
I do not know of any gcoat strikes eon
toinplntod or tlint any will bo necessary."
When asked what branches of trado

The School Board Chances Its Building:
Plans.
AFTER AN EXHAUSTIVE DISCUSSION
The Addition to the Main Street Building
Required For the Purpose Would Cost
More Than the Hew Building and the
Location Would Not be Suitable.
Tho School Board held a special meeting
last night and decided to cliango its building
ilans and ncquiesco in tho popular view ot
the, subject, It w ill bo remembered that at
tbo last meeting it was decided to let the
construction of tho White street building
pass for tho present and proceed with tho
erection of an addition to tho High school,!
building, and bids for the work wero adver
tised for. After that meeting public senti
ment took an opposite view of tho matter,
but, as a compromise, favored enlarging the
addition to tho High school building..
The members present at tho meeting last
night wero Messrs. Ogden, Trezise, James,
Baugii, Ldwards, Dovltt, Manley, Price,
Smith, Lee, Conry, Morgan, Hanna and
i illiams.
rchltect Seymour Davis was present and
stated that ho could make tho High school
building an eight room structure for about
?15,()00. This, ho said, would give two rooms
for tho High school and six other rooms.
Tho only objection he could see would bo
tho isolation of so many pupils in that part
of tho town. For about $12,000 the White
street building could bo put up, two rooms
extra would be secured, and tbero would not
be a concentration of so many pupils.
-Mr. J lamia said bis motivo in favoring the
High school addition at tho last meeting was
to avoid any exhibition of weakness on the
part of tho Board. Ho felt that tho High
school work could bo undertaken and com
pleted and should tho lower grades become
over crowded during the next term the
rooms in the addition could bo used by them
until tho Board could seo its way clear to
erect tho White street building. Ho still
considered it better to go ahead with the
addition, and in tho meantirao arrangements
could be mado for a special election and
perhaps tho Whito street building could be
built by mid-wlntcr.
Mr. Edwards favoied the erection of tho
Whito street building. Pottsville has run
over its limitation of bonded indebtedness,
mid yet has borrowed $23,000 or 830,000 for 2
or 3 years and lias ucd tho money.
Mr. Baugh objected to putting so many
rooms in tno iligli school tmllumg and
favored the erection of tho Whito street
building. Mr. Lee was of tho same opinion.
Mr. Treziso said that so far as the number
of rooms was concerned tho addition would
not mako much difference, as it would givo
tho High school building 12 rooms in all. In
tho West street buildings there aro 13 rooms
and 12 in tho Lloyd street building.
Mr. Prico favoied tho original plans
suggested by Mr. Hanna, wiiilo Mr. Williams
wanted tbo Whito street building erected.
Mr. Smith thought it better to go ahead
with tho addition and allow tho Whito street
project to rest until It can be learned whether
the compulsory education will mako another
building a necessity.
Mr. Conry said that in either event tho
Board would havo to borrow money and ho
was in favor of tho White street building.
Tho latter would cost about S12.000 and givo
six rooms in tho central part of the town,
while tho addition would cost from $15,000
to $10,000 and crowd tho Main street build
ing.
Mr. James made a rapid calculation of the
pronablo number ol graduates lor this year
and argued that inoro room is first required
in tho High school.
Superintendent Whltakcr thought that if
tho Board could accomplish tho undertaking
it ought to erect tho W hito street buildin
and let tho High school go for a year.
President Ogden left tho chair and spoko
briefly on tho subject. Ho favored tbo
High school addition and said that in order
to keep up tho standard of tbo schools it will
soon bo necessary to add another, year to tho
course, which will mako more room
necessity. Ho thought sullicient could bo
derived from taxes to enlargo the III
school buildiug and next fall, or spring, the
subject of a special election to increase tho
bonded indebtedness for tho erection of a
White street buildiug could bo taken up
Tno discussion ot tho problem was very
exhaustive nnd Dually It was deemed that
the Main street project bo dropped and tho
erection of the hito street school building
bo pushed without delay. Two bids had
already been submitted, but Messrs. Ogden
and Ldwards suggested that it would bo
unfair to open and dlvulgo tho bids already:
in, and they were not opened and will bo
held until other contractors and builders
havo a chance. The timo for submitting
bids lias been extended to May 5th.
