By 9 o'clock, when the doors were opened, there Were about 2,000 people in front of the hall. Not more than three out of every ten had tick- ets, yet they all expected to get inside. There was awild rush for the doors when they were opened and it took the whole of the Harris- burg police force to keep the enthusi- astic Hastings aud Delamater advents from breaking in the doors. Very rapidly the gal- leries filled up, but the delegates were rather slow incoming in. When the galleries were packed to suffocation there were still plenty of empty seats in the lower part of the hall, The delegates were waiting for latest advices to know how they should vote in the convention. ‘The galleries amused themselves while waiting for the urrival of the delegates in cheering for their favorite candidates. From the volume of the cheers it was apparent that Hastings had the galleries. CALLED TO oRDER. Chairman Andrews came in a little after 10 o’elock and lost no time in calling the conven- tion to order, Secretary Leach read the call for the convention and then called the roll. In Allegheny county W. C. Thouland was sub- stituted so he could nominate Maj. Montooth. After the roll call Gen. B. F. Fisher of Phila- delphia moved that the Berks county contest- ing delegates be admitted with a half a vote each. This was opposed by Chas. M. Plank, and Chairman Andrews settled an impending con- troversy by declaring that nothing was im- pending but the temporary organization. A. 8. L. Shields of Philadelphia nominated Geo. S. Graham for temporary chairman. He was elected unanimously and escorted to the plat- form by H. Byram of Allegheny and W,\W. Brown of McKean, Upon being introduced by Chairman Andrews he was greeted with great enthusiasm. On taking the chair Mr. Graham thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him and at the conclusion of his remarke the temporary organization was announced as fal- Jows: Secretary, Frank Willing Leach; assistant secretaries, John W. Morrison, Charles F. Ettla, Seymour L. Rau. Mr. Elkins of Indiana offered a resolution that all resolu- tions relating to platform be referred to the committee on platform. Agreed to. Commit- tees on contested seats, permanent organiza- tion and on resolutions were appointed and at be the convention took # recess for half an ar, A CONTEST SETTLED. The committee on resolutions had some trouble in agreeing upon the platform, and it was 12:45 when the convention reconvened, Chairman Lowe of the committee on contested seals made his report in reference to the Berks county contest. The report said the eom- mittee found that 134 delegates remained aud elected Charles M. Plank, Alf Glass, G, H. Valentine, D. 8S. Dumbach, Jessie F. Bechtel. Sixty-two delegates bolted aud nominated the contestants. ‘The committee reported unani- mously in favor of seating the regularly elected delegates, The report was unanimously adopted. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. Chairman Woods of the committee on per- manent organisation submitted the report, which was unanimously adopted, making Wal- ter Lyon of Allegheny permanent chairman, ‘The other temporary officers were continued, Col, Colburn of West Chester aud W. W. Brown of McKean were appointed to escort Mr. Lyon to the stage. On welcoming the perma- nent chairman, Temporary Chairman Graham said: “I cannot help thinking as 1 clasp hands with you, I the district at torney of the east and you the district attorney of the West it is but typical of the unity that republicans will show to the ticket that this convention shall present to the people.” This sentiment was greeted with lord cheers which were increased when Mr. Lyon (pa? 2 to the front of the stage. As soon as the galleries got quict Mr. on addresved the convention, At the conclusion of Mr, Lyon's speech District Attornoy Graham moved that a recess be taken for ene hour. There was aloud “ne” from the galleries and dele- gates. Mr. Lano of Philadelphia opposed this and snggested that the nomi- nating speeches’ should be made but no ballot taken before the recess, Mr. Laue’s motion was agreed to, but betore any speeches were made Gen. Fisker of Chester county enlled attention to the fact that a numberof the gentle- men who were to make nominating speeches were out en the committee on resolutions. He thought there should be a full convention when the candidates arc nominated. He moved & recess for one hour. A vote was taken on the motion and it was carried. QUAY AND ANNIE ROONEY, Ui was 2:20 o'clock when the convention was called to order again, The house was packed closer than it had been at either of the other occasions, ‘Yhere was nof breathing room in the galleries. It wae a good-natured crowd withal, aud they cheered everybody, meluding Senator Quay M ce. "for McGee was particularly strong and caused some surprive. When the crowd had cheered all the candidates and all the prominent men in the convention, it cheered “Annie Kooney.” As soon as Chairman Lyon rapped for order he reeoguized Lyman Gijbert, chairman of the committee on revolutions. Mr. Gilbert said the committee was ready to seport and he took the stage and read the plat- form, sa fellows and if wee unanimcasly adopted. The Platform. SEXATOR QUAY IxDOuSED, Once more the republicans of the common- wealth of Pennsylvania, in convention assem- bled, send fraternal greetings to their party brethren throughout the nation and congrata- iste them and ourselves upon the victory won in 1886 by the purity of republican principles and the patriotism of republican citizenship. For the chairmay of our national committee, Mr. Quay, we feel # lasting sense“ of gratitude for bis mateblexs# services in the fast prosi- dential campaign and commend his bearing under the slanders which his successful leader- ship of our party has purchased for him, Asa citizen, « member of the goneral assembly, as secretary of the commonwealth under two stiecessive administrations, gs state treasurer by the overwhelming saffrages of bis fellow citizens aud as Senator of the United States he has won and retains our respect and contideuce, In keeping with the sympathy and duty of party we make the following declaration of os for the betterment of political gov~ the benetit of our fellow citizens: We velieve that every lawful voter has the right to cant afroe ballot at every public clection and we i rly counted and certified, and we teil upda Congress to adopt such legislation as will prevent « suppression or falsification of the votes of our fellow citizens at elections for officers of natiout! government and will end political slavery thoughout the nation, FOR SERVICE PENSIONS. ®ar care for the welfare of those who upon the field of battle carried bgue gp oye - eiples of republican faith will end only ee the Just +4 ral soldier of the civil war shall have catered | into bis bouored rest, and ‘we ask Congress to grant a per diem service pension to every Union soit sailor who served im and was honorably disc from the army or navy ot the United States. The claim hice the citizens of the border counties of our commonwealth make upop Ce gy government for reimbsssement for loss thoy sustained in their homes and property at the hands of the euemy during the late war is one which national patriotism should respect and bouor, and we urge u our ty the use of every proper effort to have it quickly and completely satistied. THE MKINLEY BILL'S THE THING. We indorse the tariff vill called the “McKin- Jey bill” wm the form in which it was passed by the House of Kepresentstives and we the criticism a foregn denounce upon that bill in the Ea- an unwarranted interler- with the right of the American to protect American indus- tries. We reaffirm one of the earliest princi- ples of our party when we declare that ri- ean workers should, hke American manufac- turers, receive national protection, and we request of the general government the strictest enforcement of the laws forbidding entrance into and — it in this country of pauper cessity of passing such legislation as will pre- vent the importation and sale of oleomarga- rine and of intoxicating liquors in this com- contrary to our acts of assembly nd restricting the same and em- po every state to enforce its local laws relating thereto in the manner and in accord- ance with the intent and purpose with which they were enacted. BALLOT REFORM. Ballot reform is, and will remain, the watch- word of our party in every state, and we es] ially congratulate our political brethren in New York upon the fact that, although their democratic governor could deform, he could not wholly defeat their efforts to secure a free ballot for every American voter throughout their state. We charge the members of the next general assembly with the duty to pass such laws, and if necessity should ai to pro- vide for such changes inthe coustitution of our state as will insure to 0 voter perfect secrecy and freedom in exercising his right of suffrage. For almost thirty years the finances of this state have been under the control of our party. During that time was devised a system of tax- ing corporations which serves asa pattorn for and has been taken asa guide by many sister states in their efforts to collect revenue for ublic purposes. : We bave paid off the debt which the demo- cratic party of this state created during a time of peace. We have almost extinguished the debt which the democratic party of the southern states inflicted upon us during the civil war, and years ago we lifted from the lands and homes of all our fellow citizens the burdens of state taxation. TO LIGHTEN TAXATION. But the depression under which our agricul- tural interests now euffer has made the present system of taxation bear too heavily on them, and we therefore pleage ourselves to lighten that burden and, as far as possible, to equalize taxation. To that end we recommend that the surplus revenue derived from state taxation be used to lessen the taxation now laid upon real estate for local purposes by applying it, so far as it will in legislative wisdom avail, to the in- crease of the appropriation for the support of the common schools and to making appropria- tion for the care of the indigent insane, for the expenses of the jury system and of holding the general elections. If thereby there should be necessity for en- larging our surplus revenue, we favor a just and equitable increase in the taxation of prop- erty of corporations, We recommend that tho jJocal system of taxation be so reformed as to permit the taxation of monoy capital for local urposes to such ap extent as to enable the local authorities to reduce the rate of taxation upon real estate to an equitable basis, We require of the general assembly vigilance in making appropriation of the public money and of our charitable institutions receit stute aid the strictest economy in expendi tures. Col, Carter nominated Senator Delamater in a ringing speech, Gen, Hastings was nomi- nated by George W. Orlady, whose speech was probably the best of the day. W. G. Rice nominated Secretary of State Charles Stone, W. -—~ STANLEY AND MISS TENNANT. They Attend Oxford and are Cheered in Royal Style. Loxpox, June 25.—Henry M.

Senator Manderson’s Report on the | The Attorney for the District Drawing | The Grievances of Two Factions Laid Government Printing Office. BE SAYS THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT Is TWENTY- FIVE YEARS BERIND TRE TIMES—THE BUILD- IXGQ IN AN OVERCROWDEL 4xD DANGEROUS CONDITION. An interesting report has been made by Sen- ator Manderson on the amendment by the committee on printing providing for the pur- chase of a site fora new Government Printing Office building. ‘The Senator quotes various statements as to the needs and condition of the printing office made by the present public printer and his predecessor. “So individual or private corporation,” says the report, ‘with eyes open to all modern advantages, would maintain such a clumsy, unsafe and uneco- nomic plant any longer than would be neces- aary to replace it with a better one, There is certainly no reason why the government should longer maintain an establishment that ts at least twenty-five years behind the times,” OVEKCROWDED AND DANGEROUS, After quoting reports from the foremen in the office Mr. Manderson says: “Thus we might go on quoting from the ports made by subordinates to the public printer to the same purpose, to wit: Showing the overcrowded and dangerous condi- tion of the office; how men and women are crowded together in ill- hghted, ill-ventilated rooms, so appointed with reference to the business of the office as to cause inferior work, expensive delays in the performance of it, and showing conclusively the need of a new building constructed upon modern ideas and with a view to the actual and Le ste demands of the public | pielrgn g ‘The grand jury of the Supreme Court of the Dutrict of Columbia, in a report made in 1887 : badamna! the Government Printing Office, ‘We have made an examination of the Gov- ernment Printing Office, on the northeast cor- ner of square 624, North Capitol and H streets northwest, and find the building front- ing 200 feet on H street and 175 feet on North iso tol street, by a width of 60 foet, four scories in height, and constructed, exeept the outer Walls, of combustible materinls, floors and ceil- ings being of wood and each floor is also fully stored with combustible material. In this Cael tion is employed, on an average, about fit hundred persons, those on the upper floors be- ing mostly females. The exits for escape in case of fire or panic are, in our judgment, to- taily inadequate. * * * To fire-proof this building would be to virtually reeonstruct it.’ Some improvements have been made since the above report was made condemning the building, yet in the last report of the public printer this language is used: “With all these omg mad (added improve- ments), the building is liable at all times of the day and night to destruction by fire. The embarrassment and loss in property alone to the leds service through such a calamity woul be incalculable; but when the fact is considered that there are more than two thousand emplo; at times in this building, and that » fire once started is liable to spread with great rapidity, because of the combustible nature of much of the material in the building, the need ot prompt measures for averting the danger would seem to be imperative, The only durable remedy which could be applied would be the construc- tion for the use of this office of a tire-proof building.” THE NEED IMPERATIVE, The need of such a building is insperative, from the following considerations: (1) The health of the employes of the offic (2) Greater economy in the public printiny and binding. (8) Promptness in the distribution of the finished product of the office. (a) health of the employes is endan- gered by want of sufticiont working space for each pen employed; by the poor bg hting and ill ventilation; by the fumes that invade the office from the stables that are practically apart of the building; by the imperfect and insufficient plumbing, which was put in to accommodate not more than 500 people, whereas the number has grown to be over 2,000; the danger to life by reason of the highly com- bustible material of which the building is made and with which it is filled; the danger from the too near proximity of the boilers, whieh are so situated, in the event of an explosion, that the lives of every person in the building would be cay tere O} reater economy in the public printing would be accomplished by the erection of an office constructed upon modern ideas, by bring- ing the working divisions of the office into logical relations with each other, This would enable a greater amount of work to be done without a corresponding increase of force; the work could be done more Promptly and better, and when done the output conld be handled and distributed at about three-fourths the present cost. THE COMMITTER’# PLANS, In conclusion the report eaya: All this folly of method and of uscless waste has been going on for years and is still going on in the full face of official reports to Congress, which tell the whole story and point out the easy and business-like way to correct the abuses complained of, The simple method pro d by the committee i ta printing office, planned after mod- large enough to meet the demands of the public printing promptly and economically; to have in connection therewith a ware houre large enough to hold sufficient supplies of paper to make the office independent of any exigency arising out of the failure of contractors or of the temporary interruption of freight lines, and to store away conveniently and economically the product of the office until ready for delivery, Then, ia connection with this, a distributing department should be — established, from which all books == might be distributed direct upon lists furnished by those having books to be sent out. In this way the saving tothe government annunily over tho present system of public printing would pay interest on the sum of money necessary to make the improvements p roposed and go far toward the payment of the principal, —— A POST OFFICE ABOLISHED, Circumstances Which Led the Post- master General to Take This Action. Postmaster General Wanamaker, acting upon reports made by inspectors of the department, has issued an order abolishing the post office at Grange Camp, Va,, and directing that the newspaper called the Farm and Fireside be ex- cluded from the mails as second-class matter. It appears that the paper in question is edited by o Mr. Wedderburn and is printed in Alexandria and shipped by freight to Grange Camp post office, where it is ontered as second class matter, ‘The fact that the circulation of the paper had suddenly jumped from a few hundred to many thonsands led the department officials to make an investigation, It was learned that the post office at Grange Camp was practically under the control of Wedderburn, as the postmaster, whose name was Luckett, was 4 farm band in Wedderburn’s employ and lived forty or fifts miles away from the office, Further investi- gation showed, it is alleged, that the paper was published in the interest of a manufac- turer. Its bona fide paid circulation is said to By distributing the paper from Grange Camp Wedderburn radi himse}! the percentage of postage al- lowed to fourth clasa postmaster, With one | exception Wedderburn is said to have been the only patron of the office, A THIMBLE RIG CASE. The Man Who Worked the Shells Ar- raigned in the Police Court. Ayoung man named Michael Coakley was tried in the Police Court this afternoon charged with violating the gambling laws. The defendant, it was charged, was engaged in the “ahell game” at the Gentlemen's Driving Park, Sunday while a game of base ball was being | played between the Washingtous and Wilming- tons, The particular charge in the information Was that he continued the game on the railroad train on this side of the river. Capt. Ruth, the railroad yardmaster, was the principal witness for the prosecution. He de- scribed how the game was worked, and told of the defeudaat nn feu The case was continued until tomorrow to heur evidence for the defense. _—_——S— The Child Restored to Ite Mother, In the case of Carrie E, Coburn ageinet Lemuel E.

LEGISLATIVE PROBLEMS, The Proposed Federal Election Law— Notes From the Committee Rooms. Ata meeting of the Honse committee om rales today the question of bringing into the House « resolution providing for the considera- tion of the federal election bill was discussed, The proposition at presont under consideration is to take up the bill immediately after the disposal of the silver bill in the House this afternoon, allow debate on it until about Wed- nesday of next week, and then to commence voting upon the amendments to the bill. No positively definite conclusion was arrived at, however, and snother meeting will be held this _ ternoon before the silver bill is disposed of, AGAINST APPROPRIATIONS FoR SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.

The third report of Messrs, Winship and Cushwa, the receivers in the case of Brown et al. against the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, appointed by the Equity Court, has been filed, They state that the president and treasurer of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company cannot or will not give the receivers any real information as to the real estate of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company or yield up the missing plans, &., made by the engineers of the canal company at the ex- pense of the canal company, or disclose into whose hands they delivered them. and hence the receivers have been compelled to seek other vources of information, They say the yy leases of landed estate of the Chesapeake Obio Canal Company which the receivers have been able to discover ure in the hands of the Maryland receivers, and these, the Mole wharf, &c., are sot out in the report.

They think it a question tor the court to set- tle whether the president of the company bad the power to create for the beneflt of the water takers a preferred form of indebtedness to the exclusion of all previous or subsequent obligations of the company. In reference to the water rights on the Georgetown level claimed by H. H. Dodge they say they will pot recognize the obligation of the company to furnish water under Mr. Dod; contract until the same be declared binding by the court, The receivers file with their report a copy of the report of the receivers of the circuit court of Washington county, Md., but say that they do not desire to adopt their estimate of, the costs of the repair of the canal or to ap- Prove of their conclusions as to the feasibility of repair and operation of the canal, as they hold other views and havo arrived at other conclusions, ~~ 200 Gen, Longstreet for Governor.
