WINNING STATE TICkHT.
Tho Democratic sales Br,ght win Promise
For November.
From tho Baltimore Sun,
The nomination OF Lieutenant Governor
Black by tho Democratic convention at Har-
burg II received by tho party, and outside
Its lines, with u sentiment of approval which
must be gratifying alike TO the candidate and
to those who selected him to contest with
General Beaver the possession Of the tirst
civil office In the common wealth. The nerce
rivslries OF the various candidates, and nota-
bly, that between Wallace and Black, has APP
parently left no sting In the breasts OF those
who have been defeated, and the prompt
and unanimous Endorsement OF the lieuten-
ant governor at the instance Of Milton Speer,
who presented the name OF Wallace TO tho
convention, IL evidence that all fActional
feeling and resentment died with the eh-
citement Of the hour. IL was more than
whispered before tho convention met that
the administration element OF tho party
would seek to dominate the convention by
uniting upon some available canuldate ahu
pressing him with all the power the united
iorces of the placemen could command.
But when it was seen that Randall and Scott
pulled in different directions, and that
leaders In the party identified with neither
demanded the recognition OF Blacks claims,
passed away, aud those who came to
the convention prepared TO resent what
ever boss influence might be at
tempted were turned from their purpose
when they found the people and not the
BOSSES had set the tide In motion which had
only TO be taken at the flood. Ex-senator
Wallace was late entering the field, and the
victory had really been assured before be
planted his banners IN the van. Delegates
had already been chosen, many OF them in
structed for Black, whose friends and sup
porters were thoroughly organized and &C
lively at work months before the name OF Wal
lace was over suggested. But the hnishing
blow to the chances OF the tleariield states
man came from the labor element, which, for
reasons satisfactory to themselves, opposed
him with such determined front that 1t
would have been folly to ignore the protest.
The ticket and platform have been adopted
with manifest reference to the labor vote, and
wisely so, tor unless 1t Ia captured In large
part at least the Beaver column will pretty
surely march to victory. This seems TO
have been accomplished for the moment
at least, not only through the personnel Of
the ticket, but bv the broad declaration of
principles, which seems large enough TO EN-
brace every phrasesoi our labor troubles. But
apart from the platform itself, the chosen
leader of the party has planted himself 50
firmly in the past upon certain fixed princi
Piles recognizing the rights OF labor and con-
dsmming corporate greed, that 1t would he
odd indeed II any feeling OF distrust could
hnd its way into their COUNCILS.
An ideal Candidate
PROM tho New York sun.
In more respects than one Lieut.. GOV.
Black Is an ideal candidate for the Demo
Gratis Of Pennsylvania to run against the man
whom Boss Quay named a few weeks ago,
Clean, upright, able, brilliant, beloved, no
has, moreover, tho prestige OF success In the
only political canvass In which ho ~ a can
didate was ever before this concerned.
Four years ago Mr.. Black's name lent
strength TO the Pattison ticket. The Repub-
lican candidate then, rs now, WAS Gen.
Beaver and the insolent dictation which
forced him upon the party as the representa-
tive of rings and bosses and corporation inter
ests caused the independent bolt which
divided the Republican vote that year.
Look at the figures of the state election OF
lss2 with reference to the situation at pres
ent:
Pattison and Black Tgl
Beaver, regular .Sl5 $50
Stewart, Independent Republican tIt3
Armstrong Greenback h. Labor. r.............. 2JtsS
Petit, Prohbitionist. 6lSb
The total Republican vote in lSS1, there
fore, was $50, 332, or only 3,5il more than tho
vote polled for Pattison and Black. And yet
some of our esteemed contemporaries are
talking as II the Democratic candidate for
governor OF Pennsylvania, in any YEAR when
no split divides the Republican party, is
merely the leader of forlorn hopo against
an assured ma ority of from forty to seventy
thousand. Pattison and Black csme within
$500 votes of majority over Beaver and
Stewart combined.
Prohibition vote, drawing chiefly from the
Republican side, was Insignificant This year
the prohibition movement, still drawing
chiefly from the Republican side, bids fair 10
equal in size and Importance the stewart de.
fection OF lSS2. The Prohibltionists who
have been Republicans, in Pennsylvania as
In other states, are disgusted with the apathy
and treachery Of tie Republican managers.
They have perfected their organization, given
over all thought of compromised, and under
able leaders they are preparing to make al
aggressive campaign on the distinct issue
which they have so closely at heart This
counts against Beaver.
On the other hand, the large Green back
Labor vote in 1852 was principally at the ex'
pense of the Democratic ticket The Green
back question has dropped out oil sight
The labor interests could ask for no better
representative than this years Democratic
candidate. The record of Mr.. Black on every
question affecting the prosperity of the work,
iDgman, his universally recognized attitude
toward the corporations which have dened
the new constitution, the platform on which
he stands in the present contest, are all sucl
az to warrant the belief that he will receive q
great part of the vote that was cast Tor Arm
strong tour years ago.
No, it is not forlorn hope that Chauncey
Black leads In Pennsylvania The situation
Is full OF hope for Pennsylvania's Democracy
and victory there this fall is prize wortl
cOntending tor with all the remaT aTkable energy
that inspired the party In 1852, and with tina,
reasonable confidence In success which count
SO much towards success.
Able, Brilliant and Honest.
FROM the Centre Democrat
Chsuncey +. Black heads the Democrats
state ticket and is TO measure political sword
with Gen. Beaver. Mr.. Black is the son OF
great man, and Is walking worthily in tn
footsteps OF his llustrious SIRE lie Is able
brilliant and honest, and has all the elements
that 20 to make up statesman. In Chsunce,
Il. Black the Republicans W i'll find an aggres
siye, fearless and honest fOe He will pol
his party vote and draw largely from tn
Republican ranks In many sections OF tn
state.
