Anil Assures the Oalnrsd People That
Their Rights will be Protested
Under • Democratic) Adminis
tration.
Albany, KY., Nov. 20 Qov.
Cleveland was asked by an associ
ated press reporter to-day if ho was
aware of the delusion existing
among the colored people of the
South that a change in the admin
istration would affect their condi
tion, to which lie replied: “Yes,
I have been astonished at the
statement that there was apprehen
sions existing among the colored
people that in some way their
rights, now secured to them under
the laws and constitution of the
U. 8. were in danger from tbo elec
tion jjof a Democratic President. I
am even told that some of them are
led to suppose that the result of
the recent election means that they
may again be made slaves. All of
this has appeared to me to bo eo
absurd—and 1 have been so suro
that tbe slightest intelligent reflec
tion would dislodge such foolish
fears—that 1 can hardly deem any
notice of them necessary. But there
is not the slightest objection to cal
ling the attention of all who arc in
the least uneasy or uncertain upon
this subject to the fact that the title
of tho colored people to freedom
and all tho rights of citizenship can
not be disturbed except by s
change in the constitution, which
it would be absolutely impossible
to make. Besides tbo present con
dition or status of these people has
been so fully accepted by the en
tire country, that no one should
have the slightest idea that any at
tempt will be made to change it if
there was any possibility of tho ac
complishing such a thing. So far
as the new administration is related
to this subject, the whole country
can bo sure that the lawful power
and jurisdiction of tho executive
will ha so exercised that the rights
of all citizens, white or black, un
der the constltution and laws, will
be preserved and protected, and
all advantages to which they are
entitled by reason of their citizen
ship, will be secured to them.
There need be no fear that either
the democratic party, or its newly
oppress or enslave any part of our
population, nor to destroy the
business interests of the country
We hope, oh the other band, to do
something to beneflt the people. It
seems to me that 'one effort in
that direction would, be aided, if
mischievous croaking and dark
imaginings should give place to an
honest endeavor to inspire confi
dence and to mako universal tho
cheerful hope for the luture.”

Strange.
Congressman Post, of Pennsyl
vania, says a Washington speoisl
of Nov. 17, who has been Scoretary
of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee, says there
is a probability of tho committee
retaining its present headquarters
on F street throughout the coming
winter. It has been found neces
sary to have some place for. head
quarters, sud tho present one is
thought to bo the best.
Speaking of the result of the
election, he says Pennsylvania
loses her vote in the electoral col
lege for the first time, and so the
old saying, “As goes Pennsylvania
so goes tho Union,” no longer
holds good. So also the fate of
candidates for the Presidency
whose names begin with C whq
have heretofore been defeated, as
in the days of Cass, Clay and
Crawford. The Republican party
began its successful career in Chi
cago and ended it there, the can
didates being in 1860 from Illinois
and Maine and the reverse in 1884,
which is sIbo a politiesl reverse to
the grand old party. Mr. Lincoln
came into office in 1861, and Mr.
Lincoln’s son goes out of ofllco in
1885.
Though it was cold water, ac-
cording to Mr. Blaine, it was rain
water which swamped him, and,
finally, the Washington monument
was begun by James E. Polk, a
Democratic President, laying the
corner stone. Work on thostruot-
lire was resumed in 1877, when
Mr. Tildcn ought to have been in
the White House, and the celebra
tion of its completion will bo on
Feb. 22, eleven days after the o(IT-
cial count, which declares Qrover
Cleveland President elect.
Never before in a Presidential
campaign have there been so many
striking coincidences, not forget
ting the prediction which Mr.
Blaine himself made of the defeat
of his party before tbe Republican
convention bad met, and who now,
like many an old sinner, puts the
responsibility on everybody and
everything but himsolf.
BLAINE’S BITTERNESS.
Whit ll Tliought or It la WlIklBU-
Wasiiinoton, Nov. 19.—There
was much comment hero to-day
in political and official circles re-
garding Mr. Blaine’s last act of
ringing the alarm bell in tbe night.
Even bis followers are puzzled to
account for bis lurid Augusta dis
sected administration, proposes to C0,lr8<J ' Tbe more jnt.Hlg.nt ool
ored people of tho District of Col
umbia sneer at his theatrical pos
ing as the friend of tho negroes of
tbe South. They have never look
ed upon Blaine with favor. Henry
C. 0. Atwood, United States Con
sul at San Domingo, who has been
a prominent colored leader in
Louisiana, is in tho city. Refer
ring to Blaine’s spccoh, he said:
It’s all bosh. Tbe statement
that tho colored people in tbe
South were not allowed to vote is
not true. There It some intimida
tion in'the country districts in tbe
South, but very little in tho cities.
Certainly Blaine baB no cause to
complain. In tho Third Louisiana
District be got 5,000 majority
while Kellogg was defeated for
Congress. Tbo colored people
vote as they please. Look at' Bis-
bee’s district in Florida, for in
stance. Bisbcc is a Republican,
but be was defeated by colored
votes. No. Tbo South was not
made solid by the Democrats this
time. Blaine lost every Southern
State because tho colored people
are stalwarts and friends of Conk-
ling, Grant and Arthur. Tho
slaughter of Folgcr hurt Blaine as
much in tbe South as it did in
New York.
Congressman Mitchell, of Con-
nceticut, who is in town, says that
Blaine should turn bis guns on
some of tbe manufacturers of New
England who forced their employ
es to vote tho Republican ticket at
the last election, even compelling
them to show their tickets to tbe
bosses just before depositing them.
He says this aort of coercion was
boldly resorted to in hla district.
Last Friday morning the Messrs.
Cowart, living 8 «r 9 miles north
east of Reidville, started on a alow

a few boors Friday night, till late
Saturday evening. They patted
through Reidville on their way

Watbingtan Capital.
I (topped in Albany a few boura
in order that I* might pay my r •
speota to the Preeldent-eleot, and
see for myself what manner of man
this memorable campaign of 1884
baa crowned with the greatest of
earthly honora. At 4 o'clock in
the afternoon I found the Governor
sitting in tbe vast and splendid
Executive chamber in the new
Capitol building. How many Eiuga
or Emperore ever received their
subjeots, I wonder, In snob a noble
apartment as this in which tbe
chief rulor of the Empire State
meets bis fellow-citizens! The
White House will seem to him very
poor and oheap in comparison
when he comes to occupy it. Per
haps the contrast will be great
enough to make him an earnest
advocate of a new Executive man
sion, or a rebuilt one at any : ' rate.
That would be something to be
thankful for ii it sboulddisppen.
Tbe Governor site in a cane-teat-
cd swivel chair before one of a
number of large ted topped desks
—the others belonging to hie sec
retaries. Troop* of visitors, are
constantly passing through the
chamber; and those who care to
do so walk up and pay him their
respects. He asks no one to sit,
but when there are ladle* In the
party be rises and sbakea hands,
and exchanges a tew pleasant
word* with them. The Governor’s
greeting ie a pleasant one, hot
very simple, end with no excess of
cordiality or manner. Hie voice
which ooe notices instantly, has
none of the suave and fascinating
quality of Mr. Blaine’s. It i* not
tbe voice of a man that has been
used to magnetize or attraot.mea
and women. It is not tbe voice of
a man who asks favors of others,
nor is it the voice of an orator Bat
there is oritieism and empbaeii in
it, and, while not a soft voiee, it la
hard nor rough.
The first impression one gets of
Gov. Cleveland is i at he Is a
yonng man. Thero ist bald place
one sees afterward that goes well
down on tbe back of bia bead, but
the faee is the face of a man in the
freshest health; a man full of life,
who has never greatly abused him
self nor overdrawn upon ht* vitali
ty: Tall and atout he ie, it most
be confessed, but not an obesemaa
and while one would not expect
him to prefer an active life, hit
power or work must be enormous.
He looks like a man who could
work for 24 hoars . without reit
and then begin a new day’* work,
if need be, with more vigor than
tbe averago man posteseei after a
good nigbt’a sleep.
In conversation the Governor
■peaks with a good deal of anima
tion, and the strongest impreaaion
one gets from him it of great firm
ness and force in adhering to a
course once it ia adopted. Ooe
would aay “Here i* a man, surely,
who caunet be driven, but wrbo will
do the driving himself whenever it
is necessary.” One might ask a
S ood deal of such a mao, bnt to
emand, I should think,. would be
a losing business.
