Independent Republicans and the
Democrats Strongly Indorse
Pattison and Black.
A WORKING TEAM HARD TO BEAT.
The Nominations Well Received Here,
But Republican Politicians Claim

BALLOT REFORM GENERALLY FAVORED.

tison was nominated for Governor by the
Democratic party on the first ballot, and
three cheers and tiger were given a little
later by the same enthusiastic voters when
the name of Chsuncey f. Black appeared
in second place.
THE ticket of 80, yelled out somebody.
"Yes, and it was victorious" remarked
another.
will it win this time?" asked third.
''Ot course" answered back another and
then they dispersed.
All afternoon the board was carefully
scanned, and various comments were made
as the nominees for the other State Offices
were given.
FEELING THE POLITICAL PULSE.
AS soon as the nomination was made re-
porters were sent out to interview members
of both parties, and the opinions in detail
are given below. The rank and file in each
Of the opposing factions will stand by the
regular nominees and will fall with them.
Most of the Independent Republicans
are red hot for Pattison, and the general
impression is that many thinking Repub-
licsns who do not have to odepend on politics
for living will vote for the Democratic
candidate. On the other hand, it is claimed
by Republicans that the old Bourbon Demo-
Gratis will not support Pattison. The few
Republican manufacturers seen yesterday
were inclined to vote the Democratic ticket.
The fates will decide next November.
General P. n. Guthrie, who was Cover
nor Pattison's Adjutant General, was seen
at the Randall Club, where he was receiv-
ing kilograms from the convention. Already
there is talk that Guthrie will succeed Ad-
jutant General Hastings in the event of the
election of Pattison. General Guthrie said:
PATTIsoN's STRENGTH.
"Pattison's nomination means his cleo
ton. He has record for honesty and in
tegrity, and his freedom from the baseness
of politics makes him the strongest candi-
date that could have been nominated.
have no doubt at all but the whole ticket
will be elected. Everybody knows Patti
son to be rising man in the body politio Of
our country. Honesty and integrity is
such q strange quantity in politics as the
latter is constituted to-day, and when you
find it you have something that is remark
able, and the people are not slow to take ad-
vantage Of it.
al was associated with Pattison for four
years, and knew him from the breakfast to
the supper table. His ability is of such a
high degree and his intellectual facilities
are such that it is impossible to keep him
down. During his four years as Governor,
his personal integrity was asserted, and will
be asserted again during the campaign.
"Pattison's election will pave the way
for Cleveland in 1892. 1t is going 10 be
sharp and decisive struggle. His election
will also help Campbell, of Ohio, and with
Cleveland, Campbell and Pattison you
have trio that cannot be beaten. 1t is
deplorable fact that there are only three

SUITS EVERY DEMOCRAT.
John J. O'Leary, Corresponding Secre-
tary of the Randall Club think the nom-
ination is one that will suit almost every
Democrat in the State. The stuff about
Mugwump is all bosh and will not ma
terialize at the polls in November. The
ticket is strengthened by the addition of
Captain Barclay, who is a member of the
club. His name will secure many Repub-
lican votes in Allegheny county. There is
no question about Pattison's election. The |
people tried him once, and found he was not |
wanting. Consequently they are willing to |
try him again in preference to man backed |
by the corporations of the State. The |
Standard Oil Company with all its Doodle
cannot elect Delamater. Pattison will re-
ceive thousands of Democratic votes and
will get enough to elect him.
j. E. McCrickart, member of the Board |
OF Trustees-The nomination suits everv
man in the club, and we will ratify the
selection at the meeting tomorrow night
Wallace was not sin it" and Pattison was
the choice of the representative people of
the party.
ID. c. Cawley, another trustee-Pattison
is not machine politician, but man after
the heart of the honest voter. There is not |
any question about his election. Della
matters record with the Billingsley bill is
enough to sicken every intelligent citizen, |
and it will kill the Republican candidate.
BOSS sCoTT's MAN.
United States District Attorney Walter
Lyon, Republican-Boss Scott's man, Patti
son, is how / would speak of the Democratic
nominee. 1t is the weakest nomination the
party could have made, and 1 am pleased
with the prospect for an easy victory. Patti
son is much weaker than Wallace even, in
nv opinion. 1t is difficult for any man to
forecast Delamater's majority in this State.
Postmaster James S. Mexican, Rep.-It
wouldn't make any difference who was
nominated Delamater will be elected with
good majority. 1 don't think the nomina-
tion is the strongest that could have been
made.
Ex-Mayor McCallin, Rep.-Mr Pattispn
will be licked. That is all have to say
William Witherow, proprietor af the
Duquesne, Rep.-I think Delamater will
be elected.
Van Huntingdon, one of the Duuuesne
clerks, Rep.-I am Republican and op-
posed to one-man bossism, as exemplffied in
Senator Quay, but 1 don't think it can be
remedied by voting for Democrat. 1 will
stick to the Republican ticket
PATTIsoN Is A GOOD MAN.
H. C. Perdu, bookkeeper at the Duquesne,
Rep.-Pattisou is a good man, but L will
vote for Senator Delamater.
John Neeb, Republican candidate for
State Senate on the Northside-Pattison is
not a strong man, neither is Wallace. A
great many Democrats will not vote for
Pattison on account OF his Mugwumperv
when he was Governor. He may get some
Mugwump Republican votes, but the num-
Der will be offset by disgruntled Democrats
who will cast their ballots TOR the Repub-
lican nominee. Black would have been q
much more dangerous man. I remember
four years ago, when we had everything our
own way, he gave Beaver mighty close race.
There is to-day no organized dissatisfied ele-
ment in the Republican party as there was
in the Independent campaign, and 1 predict
tnat Delamater's majority will be 1000.
The Republicans have had enough of bolt
ing and they are in no hurry to repeat the
tactics.
A MANUFACTURER's OPINION.
Edwin Miles, a well-known furnaceman
and iron manufacturer, Rep.-I am a Re-
publican, but will vote for Pattison. He is
g very decent man, and gave the peoplS
clean, honest administration when be was
Governor. ! also am in favor OF ballot re-
form. The ballot box should be as pureias
the noon-dsy sun. regret that 50 many
