There Will Not Be General Strike-Irons
Has No Authority to Take Such Action.
SCRANTON Pa, March 26-General Master
Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor,
who has been confined to his house for several
days. owing to an accident which he sustained
last Saturday night in Bloomington, Ill where
he fell and fractured two of his ribs, was called
upon this afternoon, by reporter of the Asso
ciated Press and in reply to the question, us
the strike in the Southwest likely to extendT
answered: Most emphatically no. Every
strike must be confined to the section in which
it originates and must be settled there"
When asked what authority there was for the
statement of Chairman Irons, of ST Louis, pub
lshed this afternoon, to the effect that the strike
would probably extend throughout the United
States and include all the Knights of Labor, re-
gardless of occupation. Mr.. Powderly replied:
''Mr. Irons has no authority whatever to make
such o statement That order can only come
from theezlsative board. may say there is
no danger Whatever Of any such order Being
issued at present. Where Knights Of Labor are
at peace with their employers, their agreements
and contracts must be lived up to, no matter
what may be going on in another part of the
country. Where no contract or agreement ex-
lists between employer and employees all differ
ences must be settled through arbitration. This
must and shall be the last strike undertaken
without full authority from the executive board,
after having made thorough investigation Of
the cause of the trouble and exhausted every
possible means of effecting peaceable settle
ment."
Although quite i'll from effects of his accident,
Mr.. Powderly left for New York on the o'clock
train this afternoon. to attend a meeting of the
executive board Of the Knights of Labor, to be
held there tonight, for the purpose of formulat
ing some plan looking to an early settlement of
the troubles in the Southwest.

Disoreanization of the knights of Labor

Disorganization of the Knights of Labor
Omaha Herald.
The conviction is now fast becoming general
among the most ardent sympathizers of labor
that a grave mistake, damaging to the cause Of
labor, has been made by the Knights who en-
gagged in the strike on the Gould system, at least
that portion of them employed on the Missouri
Pacific This strike has made it clear that the
organization of labor is by no means so perfect
as it appeared to be two weeks ago. Those who
claimed for it system of local organizations
tributary to and controlled by a central govern
ing body, now find that while such system ex-
lists in theory. it has yet been put in oper-
alton. The highly intelligent central executive
board, of whose wisdom and moderation were
given many proofs during the past week, does
not control the action of the subordinate assem-
blies and hence, as a practical, working ee-
ment, closely Knit and capable OF direction
toward a great object for the benefit of the en-
tire industrial mass, the system needs vast
amount of growth and discipline. It must be
apparent to anybody who has given the least at
tention to the tendencies OF the day that, in
tain familiar circumstances, it is much easier to
inaugurate strike than to stop one. This
strike on the Gould lines illustrates this in the
lack of cohesion in the order. A local assembly
sanctioned the strike; but the conditions de-
manded by its council are in direct opposition Co
the principles publicly affirmed by the spokes-
man of the central executive board, Mr. Pow
derlv

threw back his head and began an up

answered: "Bless your soul, man.

bomb-gun, which he raised and lower

their thrashing, and like q flash tie

rate, burying the boats bow between
two walls of water fully eighteen
inches high, but the speed was such
that scarcely a drop entered the boat.
This gait was kept up for good ten

q total standstill at last, and pulling
around to a broadside position the

The second explosion was followed
by the whistling Of the rubber-winged
bomb, which buried itself in the great
mass of blubber with dull kerchug.
Scarcely had the smoke cleared away

Colonel r. Bruce Ricketts,.

Colonel r. Bruce Ricketts,, who re-
celved the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, comes of Scotch-lrisE parent
age, and was born at Orangeville, CO.
lumbia county, Pa, on April %, 1889.
He was educated at the Wyoming Sem
mary near Wilkesbarre, and was read
ing law when the Rebellion broke out.
He promptly entered the Union service,
and having assisted in recruiting a bat
terry of artillery, was mustered in as a
member of Battery T, First Pennsylya-
MIA Artillery Forty third Regiment,
on July s, 1861, and promoted to he
First Lieutenant, Aug. 5, 1861; to Cap
tain, May s, 1868 ; to Major, December
l, 1864, and to Colonel, March 10, 1865.
Battery F was furnished during the
month of August. 1861 with horses and
equipments and four smooth bore picc-
es. AS early as September II following
it was ordered to join Gen. Banks CON-
mand at Jamestown, Nd, and from
that date on was in active service con-
stantly until the close of the war. For
a time the battery was diyided into two
sections, one under Lieutenant Brock
way, and the other under Lieutenant
Ricketts,. The lattey had its first en-
gagement December ooh with body
of the enemy's artillery AID cavalry,
which was attempting the destruction
of Dam No. on the Upper Potomac.
For more than three f1ll years from
that date. Ricketts, was always in the
front, and his battery became one of
the most famous in the Union Army.
In almost every one of the great engage
ments of 81, 63, and "a in Maryland
and Virginia, and in scores of minor
conflicts. it was prominently engaged
and at Gettysburg especially it did
brilliant service inassiSting to repel the
fierce, terrific onslaught of the Confed-
crates upor the right of the Union
lines. In this battle Colonel Ricketts,
lost forty horses and twenty-seven men,
and the ground on which his guns were
planted is among the historic spots of
this great contest. He was under fire
one hundred times, and engaged in 81
battles. At the close Of the war Col
onel Ricketts, returned to Wilkesbarre,
and has since been engaged in manag-
ing his large numbering estate at which
iS known nc North Mountain i'm Suili-
van county. He has been an active
and consistent Democrat ever since he
reached manhood, but has never been
an office-h holder.

Lieutenant Governor. He was, indeed,
an asprant for the nomination as Con-
gresham in the York and Cumberland
district in 1874, but was defeated by
Hon. Levi Maish, the gentleman who
placed him in nomination for Lieuten-
ant Governor in the State Convention
of 1882. BY that body he was placed
second on the Pattison ticket on the
first ballot by a vote of 1864 to 734 for
George II. Irwin, of Dauphin. In 1880
he was a member of the CIncinnatiCOn-
vention, and voted for Judge Field at
first, but changed his vote to General
Hancock. He went through in 1882
with the rest Of the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Black is credited with being the
author of revival of the so-called JEFF
fersonian system Of politics which con-
sists in the establishment of societies
throughout the country for the study
and practice OF the Jeffersonian princi-
pies. He is the President Of the organ
iZatiOn Of that name i'm York county,
at the capital of which he resides. For
many years before he was made Lieu
tenant Governor nearly all the plat.
forms adopted by Democratic State
Conventions were his handiwork, and
he always attended the Conventions
well provided with planks Of all sorts.
His counsel was sought by the leading
men Of the party, and his acquaintance
has been extensive with the prominent
men of the country of all shades of po-
litical opinion. Mr.. Black married the
daughter of Hon. John l.. Dawson, who
represented the Fayette district in Con-
gress and was prominent politician in
his time. In personal appearance he
is tall, of good physique, and bears a
strong resemblance to his distinguished
father.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDI-
DATES.
Hon, Chauncey Forward Black
for Governor.

Hon. Chauncey Forward Black, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, is
q son of the late Judge Jeremiah ).
Black, and was born at Somerset, IN
this State, in November, in 1889. He
was educated at the MonongahelaA Acad-
envy, in West Virginia, and afterwards
attended Jefferson College,in Washing
ton county. He was under instruction
at Hiram College at the time the late
President Garfield was student there.
A friendship was established between
the men, and their relations were most
cordial up to the time Of the death of
the late President. Young Chauncey
studied law with his father, and in 1861
was admitted to the bar of Somerset
county. He .practiced but little, the
profession of the law not suiting his
tastes. Literary work was more suit
able to his tastes, and Mr.. Black began
as a correspondent for several of the
daily newspapers. For six or seven
years he was regular contributor to
the columns of the New York San and
bis letters showing the inside move
ments of Pennsylvania politics always
attracted considerable attention. AL
though he has not published any books
written by himself, there are numerous
publications from his prolific pen in eX-
istence under the names of other per-
sons. Although he has a manifest lik-
ing for the whirl and excitement OF pol
itics, he did not become much OF an ac-
tive politician until he was brought for
J ward four years ago as a candidate for

WATCH THE COUNT.

There is no question that the Republicans
have carried the State Of Indiana by decided
vote, electing not only the entire State ticket,
but also majority of the members of the
General Assembly. This result was so unex-
pected to the tricksters and ringsters that they
are dumfounded. The Democratic managers
early gave up the State. They conceded their
defeat on Tuesday night and all day yesterday,
but late in the afternoon ex-senator Mcdonald
comes forward to say that he thinks later re-
turns will decrease the reported Republican
gains and ''put Indiana back in the Demo
cratic column" simultaneously with this sig
nifcant claim comes the information that GER
tain very prominent Democratic managers
have suddenly and mysteriously left the city
on important missions.
The Journal sends warning throughout the
State The gang is desperate. The Indian
apolis ring is in the throes Of life struggle
to keep back the truth from the people They
have partial victory in Marion county, and
they will hesitate at nothing to reverse the
verdict of the people Of the State. 1t is of
the utmost Importance to watch the count
The victory must not be stolen from the Re-
publicans. Be on the lookout everywhere,
but especially in such Democratic counties
where the Democracy control the boards let
the Republicans be intently on guard. Take
care of your hard-earned and well won victory
Watch the count and the ballots

ELECTION RESULTS.

Indiana has been redeemed from Democratic
mismanagement, fraud and corruption. The
Republican plurality will not fall below three
thousand, and it may reach eight thousand.
The secretary of the Democratic State central
committee last night conceded the State
by four thousand. The Republicans
have elected seventy eight members of
the Legislature and Gen. Benjamin
Harrison will be returned to the seat
in the United States Senate which he
has so signslly honored. The Republicans
have elected Congressman in the First Sixth,
Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth
districts, and the Democrats have elected in
the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh
and Thirteenth, by reduced majorities.
In Marion county the unexpected result of
a partial Democratic victory was reached for
reasons not necessary to specify now. The
Republicans have elected three members OF
the Legislature, the joint member, Judges
Howe, Walker and Irwin, and the coroner.
What the majorities on these and the other
candidates may be the official count will alone
satisfactorily determine. The Democratic
ganesters are desperate, and will endeavor to
do some more dirty work Republicans must
be on the alert to meet and defeat any scheme
the scoundrelly ringsters may devise or at
tempt.
So far as the general elections throughout
the country are concerned the results an
nounced yesterday are not changed. Ohio
stands firmly at about 49, 900 majority, while
the gallant General Beaver beats the world,
the flesh and the devil, in other words, the
Democratic party, the whisky league, and its
Prohibition tool and ally by about fifty thou
sand plurality.
Hurd, Morrison and Carlisle, the great
trinity of free-trade, are buried in the dust
There is glory enough in the air for one day.
The eagle screams.

A THOROUGHLY BAD PARTY.

In more than one instance the Republican
party has profted in this election by the
wrangles between Democrats But what is
to be thought Of putting the country into the
hands of party that has shown such greed
for the spoils of office, and the disposition to
"knife" any and all who come between them
and the object of their desires? 1t is not at
all encouraging to realize that there is an or
ganized national party possessed of so low, and
so treacherous, and vindictive instincts The
friends in days of adversely are falling out
over the division of the property so unex-
pectedly and undeservedly acquired, and the
country is treated to the spectacle of relent-
less fratricidal strife, in which the fortunate
ones are going down before their spiteful
rivals within the party ranks. And, now
that the election is over, and there
is no longer need of masking purposes, there
are threats without number of revenge, and
partisan papers are threatening members
of the party with political death, the offense
of withholding support being an objectionable
one i'll the eyes of Democrats who have suf-
fered thereby. The war of words is even bit
terer than that waged before the election and
were not Democracy so well known, one might
conclude that there was no hope of reconcil-
iation. The revelations Of the past two days
indicate that there never was party organiza-
ton in this or any other country so intent ON
the profits of politics to the exclusion of all
consideration of weightier matters of state. 1t
is fortunate exposure Of the nature of tie
