YORK. Pa, Aug. 24.-The Jenersoh
Democratic Association and q arg
number of citizens gathered III Center
square last evening and forming III pro

Bridge, the suburban home OF Cnann-
cev II. Black, the democratic candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, to pay
their respects and congratulate nm
upon the compliment he had just re,
ceiyed from the democracy OF the olu
keystone state. The multitude vas an
enthusiastic one, and their cnesfs'
miueling with the music OF the Dana,
made the occasion a joyous one. Inc
walk is fully a mile, and along the
rSoute the procession received lresn
accessions to Its ranks. Arrlv1ng ~
the beautiful park surrounding willow
Bridge the procession was haiteu III

inc his house. Gen. George w. Helges,
Chief Burgess of York, stepped Tor
ward. and in behalf of the assemblage,
congratulated Mr.. Black upon his NOM
ination in an eloquent address. MI:
Rack. who was taken by surprise al
this demonstration on the part OF MS
neiehbors and friends, responded IN
the following happy address,:
NV Fellow Citizens:-lt IS hardiy
necessary for me to say that nothing IN
the events and nothing in all the pro-
ceedings leading up to the event upon
which You congratulate me hasgiven me
snch deep-seated and abiding pleasure
A. the steady, generous, and unselnsh
.unnort of nv friends at home. l can
never repay it; 1 know no fitting terms
i'm which to acknowledge it: hut you

called to the great Office of governor,
as I have every reason to believe l Will
be. I shall administer that high trust

rity. That l promise you l Will 40.
Since January, 1888, the executive a
m;n,stration has been above reproacn.
No charge of official corruption, nc
suooestion OF dereliction OF moral OF
legal duty, no scandal like those whicl
hnno in clouds owe the capltal 1ol
many years before has been known
The people secured what we PROMISED
them. and what thousands OF good re-
nnblicans determined by their indepen'
dent action they should have-a pure
administrationin the interestsof the PEG

OF the monopolies and rings. Should
be elected I think 1 engage for no mort
than I can perform when l say, as a.
here and now, that this state of AFFAIR."

This, my fellow citizens, is to be al

But remember, fellow citizens
