PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, ise Between the Contend- ing Delegates. PURG, Pa., April 25.—The democratic state convention met in the Upera House here to-day. All hope of @ compromise between the contending Philadelphia or Wallace and Ran- dall delegates being at an end, matters were very lively all morning in the hotels and com- mittee rooms. Great, difficulty was experienced in gaining admission to the hall of the conve: ton, and a large number of special doorkeepers Were on hand.” The Randall people appeared to have thorough control of all entrance hail, and many visitors received their re those of the delegate strict were the doorkeepers that it was Impossible for the telegraph messenger to pass in and out, and great difficuity was expe- rienced in reaching the telegraph office. When Speaker Randall entered the hall he was greeted with the stic cheering, He had 0 rate, but appeared as a su epator Wallace was also present asa deleg A COMPROMISE, Some delay occuired in calling the conven- tion to order, during which se Took place be tons. AL1 0 y Rardall, with two filends, stepped into a corner, where sllace and_his leaders were, and a conference of a few minutes took place. The result was an agrecment to appoint a committee to settle the points of difference. It was then understood that Mr. Monaghan, of Westchester, would be temporary chairman, walle Hon. a. IH. Dill would be the permanent chairman. At i:0 p. m. Chairman Miller took lis position on the stage, and ALLED THE CONVENTION TO ORDER. A lst of Secretaries and doorkeepe s then, read. Mr, Cassidy, by unanimous consent. nounced that he’ brought vlad tidings to convention and to the entire people of this commonwealth. He said the leaders have at the last moment settled upon a pian that will adjust @il differences in Philadelphia and which will e eminently creditable to the entire democratic party. The regular democratic party, of which he was a member, while it stcod by its position, was yet willing to take their opponents by the hard for the sake of peace, and they were going to settle thetr differ- ences fairly and honorably. For the purpose of effecting this he named the following COMMITTEE TO WHOM ALL CONTESTS REFERRED Without debate: KR. M. Speer of Huntingdon, Mutchler of Northampton, Dill of Union, Stea- ger of Franklin, Jenks of Indiana and Mr. Gib- ae The committee was named amid muchap- jause. Pinon. KR. M. Speer and Richard Vaux, Esq., followed with remarks in support of the pro- posed plan. REMARKS BY MESSRS. OTH SHALL. BE RANDALL, WALLACE AND Mr. Randall, in response to loud calls, arose and said:—This is the happiest political moment of my life, and it gives to the people of the Uni- ted States the assurance that the democratic party mean a complete and thorough peace and unending war to our opponents. Mr. Wallace then thanked the convention for their kind greeting. It could scarcely be ex- pected of him thatin the crisis of his party he would fail ta the performance of his duty. He yielded to the entire democracy the control or place and power, and he would always be found Where the democratic party, Placed him, whether in the front rank or In the lead, he was for peace, harmony and victory. Malcolm Hay, of Pillsbury, then followed in a speech, in which he congratulated the party upon the glorious example set them by their “reat leaders. A H. Dill thought no one but a defeated democratic candidate for state oftice could appreciate the full significance of this compromise. Wm. S. Stenger said the nomina- tion of Gen. Grant meant the perpetual rule of the Duke of America. All that stood in the way of victory for the democrats seemed the dissen- sions in their®wn ranks. Now, when we are shoulder to shoulder, with the grand courage of our leaders shining before us, we certainly’ can look for victory. ‘To-day’s burial of these little resentments means victory. Mr. Cassidy’s motion was then adopted by unanimous consent. A motion was afterwards made that the convention adjourn until tive o'clock, al which hour the committee of six appointed to settle all contests will report. ‘This Was agreed to.

During McKinley’s speech his reference to the possibilities of nominating Sherman, Blaine or Grant at Chicago was greeted with hearty cheers, but when Grant’s name was mentioned there were a half dozen hisses, but these were speedily drowned by applause. After appoint- irg committees the convention took a recess unul 2 o’clock. South Carolina Reptibliean Conven- tion. CotumBra, 8, C., April 2s.—The republican state convention met in the hall of the house of representatives at noon today.

NEw Yor«, April 28.—The Post, in its finan- clal article to-day, says:—‘ The Stock Exchange markets are strong for investment securities, U.S. bonds being 'g higher. All classes of specu: jative securities are lower,and the stock market is decidedly weak, the new disturbing element from Albany being a sufficient explanation for the sales of stocks by those who have cared little for what the Heian ‘speculators have here- tofore done. It is to be said, however, that, pro- viding the Albany threats are carried out, the owners of foreign capital here are foo sagacious business men to suddenly withdraw all their money; their own ends would not be served by such a course, and moreover It is never well to jump until the fence is reched. Of the ‘speculative stocks the following have sold down to the prices named: D. L. and Dela- Ware and Hudson, 7s; from to6 percent.

This aroused the | whole community, and the excitement has run high since. A public meeting was called to convene ou Monday (last) aiming to sit down on tendent. The vemige f took place, pursuant to notice, last evening. Everybody was there, in- Cluding a “smart sprinkling” of ladies.
