ri)TT!VII.LK, August S.
The most important, as well as enthusiastic
and uncertain, licpublicun convention as
sembled hero this morning shortly after 10
o'clock, in Union hall. From tho timoof tho
arrival of tho early morning trains until tho
hour of tho convention tho various candi
dates and their respective adhcrants were
busily engaged in marshaling their forces
and trying to counteract tho ell'ect of com
binations against them that had been formed
tho night before.
Sunday night was a busy one for tho candi
dates. Tho fight in tho local Senatorial and
Legislative districts entered into tho Con
gressional contest. At least tho friends of
liruinm made It so. Itumurs of deals on tho
part of tho latter were early circulated. One
was to tho ell'ect that Samuel A. Losch, candi
date for Senator In this district, and "Jack"
Whltehouso had formed u combination with
llrumm, by which tho latter was to throw
his Btrength in tho Scnatarial Convention to
tho support of Losch and Whltehouso in to
day's battlo. This deal, however, was denied,
llrumm realized long ago that tho opposition
to him was formidable, and ho was early on
tho scene yesterday. This morning ho was
on tho streets making personal appeals to the
delegates. Tho deal with Losch, et. al. is a
lukewarm ono "if you don't opposonie, I'm
not against you" kind. In plain words, Mr.
Drninm was badly frightened.
Every candidate, had headquarters. Tho
Dangler men held forth in tho olliccs of
William D. Soltzcr, Esq., In tho Keitz build
ing, and tho rooms wcro crowded with
delegates and prominent party workers. On
the outside wero largo placards bearing tho
words: "Dcnglcr Headquarters. Gold
Standard, McKiuley and I'rotectlon !" in
gold letters.
It was an unusual spectacle something
never beforo known in his political career to
sen tho present Congressman resorting to
curbstone politics to secure a nomination.
Heretofore Mr. Ilrumin lias stood upon his
dignity and allowed tho nomination to heck
him. Not so to-day. llo realized last night
that ho was in danger, henco tho dials re
ferred to above to counteract the sentiment
against him.
Hoodie also played an important part in
the contest, so far as tho opposition to Shen
andoah's favorito was concerned.
Chairman Payne called tho convention to
order at 10:15, with Secretary Daniel Dully at
his desk. At this hour only about ono half
of tho delegates wero present and It was
sometime beforo tho full representation was
present.
Secretary read tho call for tho convention,
nftcr which tho list of delegates was read.
Tho election of a permanent chairman was
then in order and tho name of S. Durd
Edward", Esq., was presented by IE. Jf.
Koch, Esq., and Mr. Edwards was chosen by
acclamation.
Tho chairman-elect was escorted to tho
chair. Ilo extended to tho convention his
gratitude and picdictcd tho election of tho
nominees of tho convention, Important
questions confronted tho people of this
country, ho said, and nono moro important
than that wo keep In accord with tho plat'
forms of tho national and state conventions,
and this convention will declare in no un
certain terms in favor of sound money as
against free silver. Sound money means tho
malntcnanco of tho present gold standard
Wo will march to victory with tho comity
and etato ticket. Tho Republican party will
always stand for protection and that with
sound money, will bo tho battlo cry of this
campaign.
Tho chairman's address was frequently
punctured by enthusiastic applause
In tho appointment of Vico Presidents
William A. Zimmerman, of Shenandoah, was
Included In tho list. Thomas Iicdclift, of
Shenandoah, was placed on tho committco on
resolutions and Moses Ilogcrs, of tho sumo
place, was named as ono of tho credential
committco.
Tho convention adjourned at 11:30 to al
low tho committees tu prepare their reports.
Tho hour for ro-convoning was Uxcd at 1:30.

as follows :
