R0SEATE HOPES
Chairman W. II. Andrews
Predicts a Boyer Boom.
THE POLITICAL PULSE

Tier of Counties.
PITTSBURG WILL BECOME A MECCA
And the State League of Republican Clubs
Will be the Shrine.
WILL BECOME A MECCA
THE BLACK-WALLACE CONTROVERSY

The political waves of the pending State
campaign are gently 1aving Pittsburg' s
feet. and the news that the biggest poll
ticians in the Republican party are to make
Pittsburg the center of operations for few
davs to come has set the boys agog. State
Chairman W. H. Andrews, who has been
swinging round the circle in Western
PENNSYLVANIA as the political mentor OF
Hon. H. i. Boyer, arrived in Pittsburg last
evening, and domiciled himself at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel. He came from
Washington and left Mr.. Boyer in the
bucolic embrace of that fourishing burg.
Mr.. Bower will be in PIttshurg this morn
ing. whereupon there will be a grand OIL
cial pow-wow. The two gentlemen gazed at
the GOV squash and the bulging pumpkin OF
Washington county's rural genius yester-
dav. But the political pulse of the Wash
ingtonians was very accurately felt at a acon-
ference Yesterday at which sundry Pitts
burgers assisted. The consultation must
have been extremely gratifying to all cor
cerned.
Allegheny county comes next on the pro-
pramme. and from this city Messrs. Boyer
and Andrews will make sundry pilgrim
ages to contiguous localities which await
inspection. Mr.. Andrews said "open ses-
anne" to a DISPATCH mans cardboard, and
Mr.. James S. Mexican assisted in the
urbane welcome that followed.
1--WE are Just making little tour of the
western counties said MI. Andrews, 'and
Mr.. Boyer is meeting old friends and max
ing new ones.
NO SPoUTING THIS YEAR.
1.-THE campaign is fully open, but as it is
an off wear there will be no speaking. We
are quite serene as to the outlook. 1 admit
that L would feel somewhat detected if We
were trying to figure on the other side. An
81. 900 majority is not to be sneezed at. No;
Bigler does not seem to be making much
stir as vet, and Representative Wherry's
threatened onslaught has not as yet materi-
allied. Mr.. Bower will be elected very
handilv, and We expect the usual off year
majority, although haven't given out any
predictions as to figures. Mr.. Boyer is
genial and makes friends easily, and we
have been received with fattering enthu-
siasm everywhere. The campaign issues are
as vital as those of any past campaign, and
we see no reason to look for anything less
in the way of a majority than that usually
given. We shall remain here or in this
vicinity until the meeting of the State
League of Republican Clubs, coincident
with which Mr.. Boyer has accepted an in
Yitation to be present at the reception ten
dered him by the Americus Club
tsHaye YOU seen anything OF that 81, 600
check which the Oil City Derrick mentioned
as the parting gift of Hon. C. L. Magee to
the Republican cause before he sailed to
Europe?"
A curious look came over Mr.. Andrews
face as he remarked: Il hadn't heard OF it.
But if anyone desires to tender check for
$4,000, or any other sum, l am prepared to
give a receipt therefor with cheerful alac-
rity."
HE DIDN'T GET VERY FAR.
Another reporter came in just then and
braced Mr.. Andrews for an item of import,
but got no further than the question: Twill
Mr.. Boyer have as large majority as Pres
ident Harrison had?'
Senator NJ. S. Quay was expected to ar
rive in the city last night on his way East,
but at late hour had not entered an ap-
pearance. He will doubtless arrive to-day.
James Kerr of Clearfeld county, arrived
also at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last even
ing. He had no sooner got rid of the stains
of travel than Hon. W. J. Bremen, ac-
companied by the ever-faithful Squire
Bovle and some more of the faithful, sought
his presence. Mr.. Bremen paused long
enough to say that he thought that SEN
ator Wallace was quite right in
giving it out that he wanted
the Gubernatorial nomination next year. -
He could have had it when Beaver
ran," remarked Mr.. Bremen, eff he had
come out flattooted two months before the
convention. But when he did say so Mr..
Black was too far in advance. As it now
stands both are avowed candidates, and ex-
Governor Pattison can watch the fight out
of the corners OF his eye. Mr.. Black was
always tariff reformer even when cham
pioned by Samuel j. Randall. Both Black
and Wallace are popular men. Black S
greatest strength, however, is in the West
ern counties, so that the geographical lines
are slightly mixed"
Postmaster Larkin said yesterday that
Senator Wallace had injured his prospects
in the past by his extreme modestv, and
that he would probably lose nothing by his
avowal of his candidacy. 'tI do not believe
that there will be anything acrimonious in
the contest. Both men are verv popular in
the party, and, besides, it is a good ways
ahead, and the result of the present cam
paign is bound to have some effect upon the
conventions of both parties next year."
HIS SKULL FRACTURED,
