Clearfie Id Dispatch to the Press, While Chauncey Forward Black, the Democratic candidate for Gover- nor, was at Bellefonte on Wednesday, he bad a conference with several lead- ing Democrats. During the conver- sation he claimed to be quite confident wle in Doubtless thing. | of his election, and as a reason for it assured his friends that certain ar | rangements had been made with the representatives of the Knights of La bor which would give him three fourth of the vote of that organization. He said : “There are 250,000 Knights of Labor in Pennsylvania, and I will get three-fourths of them; the ar- rangement has been made, and Beaver's managers can’t get them away from me.” There is no store order uncertainty about Mr. Black's method of settling the lie. Prrrssuncn, October 9, To the Editor of the Press : Sin: The dispatch from Clearfield published in the Press of this morning with reference to myself snd Knights of Labor is a pure lie.
