The Chicago Delegation Will
Vote as a Unit And to l'n in
structed For Anv Candidate A
Large State Convention.
Hakkisiu'kg, Pa., April 13. As early
as 10 o'clock yesterday morning the del
egates to the democratic state conven
tion began to assemble in the Harrisburg
opera house. Tickets of admission were
not given out bv State Chairman Wright
until this morning, and there were con
sequently much confusion, livery safe
guard was thrown around the distriliu
tion of tickets for the reason that it was
feared that those not friendly to Mr.
Harrity and the state administration
might counetrfeit tickets and fill the
hall with an undesirable class of visitors.
When the convention whs called to
order at noon the lower floor ol the
opera house was filled with 403 delegates
and two galleries were packed full of
spectators. No convention held here in
years has attracted such crowded galler
ies. As the various party leaders en
tered and were recognized they were
greeted with applause which was in all
cases impartially bestowed.
The convention was rapped to order
by Chairman Wright at 12-10, and bus
iness was formally begun by the rend
ing of the call ot the convention is
sued an 30. The calling of the roll of
delegates occupied 45 minutes, many
substitutions being made. Then John K.
Read, of Philadelphia, nominated Con
gressman Belthoover for temporary
chairman and he was elected unanimously.
In the course of his speech on taking
the chair, Mr. Beltzhoover took occasion
to refer in complimentary terms to Gov,
Pattison and Grover Cleveland. These
references were received with cheers long
continued. One individual in the gallery
shouted "What's the matter with Hill?"
but only gronns and hisses followed the
mention of the name of the New York
democratic leader.
After the adoption of the report of the
credentials committee the platform was
read and another controversy arose over
the plank instructing delegates to vote
as a unit. The platlorm dots not in
struct the delegates as to any partial
lar candidate. It simply instructs them
to vote as a unit. There is in the plat
form a strong endorsement of Cleveland
as follows:
We believe in the doctrines which have
been taught and practices which hate
been enforced Jin. the administration ol
the government by Thos. Jefferson and
Andrew Jackson, by samuel J. l iltlcn
and Grover Cleveland."
Two national delegates and one presi
dential elector from each of the twenty
eight congressional districts were then
named.

II.AINE AND PRESIDENCY.
It In Now Bald he Will Accept the
Nomination If it in off ered Him.
Washington, April 12. A devoted
friend of Mr. Blaine's told a reporter to
day that it was absolutely certain that
Mr. Blaine would accept the nomination
for the presidency if it should be offered
to him by the convention, tic said he
had talked long and earnestly with Mr.
Blaine, and that he could say positively
tha he would not decline the nom
ination if offered to him, though he
did not desire it and would not
secK it. l lie new impetus that is
being given to Blaine talk is a matter
of great interest to politicians of both
parties. There is probably no one who
doubts that Mr. Blaine is sincere in bis
desire to avoid the responsibility and an
noyance that would come upon him as
the candidate of his party, but there is a
very large element in the party who can.
not reconcile themselves to the thought
ot his retirement from public life without
having the highest honor there is m
polities. There are many others who
feel that the success of the party may be
dependent upon his acceptance of the
nomination, that he could surely be
elected, and that possibly no one else
could, l hesc men simplv will not civc
up the idea ct Mr. Ulaine s nomination

The Other Side of a Recent
Slorv.
Washington, April 11. A despatch
printed this morning in a New York
newspaper to the effect that the president
recently warned Postmaster-General
Wanamaker, in the presence of several
prominent Pennsylvanians, against Sen
ator Quay, has afforded no little amuse
nient to politicians here. 1 he prist
dent's opinion of Quay is, of course, well
known. He advised Ouay, niter the
World's series of damaging publications
had brought down upon him the con
tempt of the country, to retire from the
chairmanship ot the republican natioua
committee, but since that time he has
treated Ouay rather tenderly. He h
not, it is true, yielded to all of Ouay's
importunities about offices, but he lias
done nothing to offend him, and he has
been very lur from abusing him m com
pany.
The truth is that the president is anx
ious to re-establish friendly terms with
(Juay. In the language ot the street, he
is beginning to need him in his business,
and if one or two snug places here and
there thrown to Ouay's followers would
call Ouay back to his side the appoint
ments would be made tomorrow. The
difficulty is that (Juay is constantly
pushing applicants for judgeships, ind
the president realizes that to farm out
patronage of that character to a man
like Ouay would be to completely dis
credit the btneh. M. Y. World.

Washington, April 11. Ex-Governor

today on his way back to New York
from Fortress Monroe, where he h
been resting for the past three days. 11

his numerous friends, and had a brief
chat with Speaker Crisp.
dov. Campbell said the democratic
prospects were bright, lie thought that
the democrats had strong ground lor
hope in Rhode Island, that in a national
contest no local questions would be in
volved, nnd that with the democrats
aroused there was a good fighting
chance.
'Out in Ohio," said he, "the sentiment
of the democratic masses is for Cleveland.

Raleigh, April 14.-Special.-The
republican state convention met here at
noon today, ninety out of the ninety-six
counties being represented. More white
ta-.n are present as delegates than at ai y
convention of the party in years.
John B. Eaves, chairman of the state
executive commjttee, called the conven
tion to order. He declared in his speech
that the democratic party was torn to
pieces in the western part of the state,
and that while the alliance would join
with republicans in purifying local self
government, he predicted victory for the
republican party in the state, and urged
the republicans not to yield a single
plank in their state and national plat
form, but to stand solidly together and
hnrmonize all differences.
Jas. H. Young, of Wilmington, was
made temporary chairman and the con
vention then took a three hours' recess,
bile the committee on credentials
worked on contested scats.
V. S. Lusk, of Asheville, is to be perma
nent chairman and Eaycs will be selec
ted chairman of the state committee by
a two-thirds vote, though there will be
a hot fight against him, led by John J.
Mott. Eaycs is backed by the administration.
