IN his personal aud pnhlc reputation,
the Republicans have feared his nomina-
ton. Politicians careful in their iudg-
nlOnta feel this evening that though the
state is largely Republican, there are good
chances OF success under Black. One
week from to-days-the Prohihitiontsis
nnme their candidate. He will prob.
ably he Charles S. Wolfe, a Rspub-
lican dissenter, whose candidacy
will severely hurt the Repub-
lioans. The Prohibition movement is
particularly strong and will draw
largely from the Republican forces.
Beaver, the Republican nominee, was de-
feated in the latest gubernatorial cam
paign and is being vigorously attacked
now because of his connection with the
oaious store order system. In this way
the battle will be three-sided. Still Il
must be remembered that John Stewart,
the able chief of the independent RepubIi-
can faction that knocked out Beaver in
| 1882, is nowssupporting Beaver and fight
| ing brayely and strongly within the party
| lines. He may keep the anti-Beayer men
with him. If he doesn't and if the Pro-
hibition party takes tho expected quota
from the Republican ranks, then Blacks
chances are indeed good. As between
Beaver and Black, Black is the better
| liked and the better nlan.
Tho platform reaiiirms the Chicago
platform Of 1884; favors justand fairIe-
\ vision of the revenue laws endUrses the
administrations of President Cleveland
and Governor Pattison desires the abro-
! Cation of all laws that do not bear equally
| upon capital and labor, and the preven-
ion Of the hiring ont Of convict lnbor;
| tGyOrs the enactment of laws by which
! iabo. organizations may be Incorporated
and arbitration extended and enforced,
and a suitable apprenticeship act for the
purpose VI ctsating better class of arti-
SANS and mechanics; the prohibition of
