Black Declines To Run

Chicago, Sept. 8. -General Black, who was nominated for governor by the gold Democrats at the Battery D convention, formally declined Tuesday. A committee of gold Pemocrats composed of C. A. Ewing, state ehairman; A. C. Babcock, nominee for lieutenant governor, and J. T. Hoblitt oí Lincoln, called on General Black at his office in the Monadnoek and labored strenuously with him for an hour to induce him to accept, but to no purpose.
