NEW YORK, September IA mass
meeting of cOl0red citizens was held to-
night at Cooper Institute to hear the
views of the delegation Of cOlored sena-
tors from Louisiana, with regard to the
political grievances Of that State.
Colonel Charles Pensor presided, and
briefly addressed the meeting by explain
ing its objects. General Chester, eolored
then addressed the meeting. He re-
viewed the career of the Republican
party since the days of slavery, and
urged every eolored man in the United
States to espouse its doctrines. Republi-
canism was the salvation of the black
man, and their freedom, even with its
powerful aid was gained through blood
and massacre. Governor Warmontb,
when he first ran Cor office, was
an avowed Republican, but no
sooner had he obtained the reins
of government than he abandoned
bis party and counseled with the Democ-
racy, and by fraud of the most corrupt
character, caused the ballOt-bOXes at the
last election to be stuffed, so that neither
the white nor black Republicans had a
fair chance at the polls. Throughout
his career was one of corruption, bribery
and fraud.
Several other speakers addressed the
meeting in the same strain, after which
resolutions were adopted cOndemning
the conduct of Warm0th and sanction
ing that Of Kellogg, Judge Dureu and
President Grant, and calling on the col
ored race north and south to support
Grants administration.
The New York Liberal Republicans.
New YORK, September 1.-THE Lib
eral Republican State executive com
mittee met this afternoon. About fifty
members were present, from different
parts of the State. By invitation, Gen
eral Cochran, the chairman, read let
ter from A. @. Beach, and the reply to
the letter, inviting the Democratic State
committee to unite with the Liberals in
a call for a State convention. Mr.. Beach
merely acknowledges the receipt Of the
communication, and promises to lay it
before the committee at its meet
ing on the twenty-third Of Septemb ber
General Cochrane said he received Mr.
Beaeh's letter on the day the Democratic
committee met, since which time he has
heard nothing further, and is unable to
say whether the invitation was sub
mitted to the Democratic committee or
not. At all events it was not complied
with, and it now remained for the Li0-
erals to take action. After considerable
discussion il was determined to issue q
call for a State convention of three dele
gates and three alternates from each
assembly district, to meet at Ell
mira, on Wednesday, October Sth
The call invites all electors Of the
State of New York, who are opposed to
private or official corruption, and who are
in favor of capable and honest men for
Office, and who recognize virtue in any
political party beyond the power to gov
ern honestly aud well, and all who are
opposed to the corrupt practices Of the
present administration, to unite with
the Liberals in convention.

DAYTON, OHIO, September lL-Sena-
tor Morton addressed large crowd

ed salaries, he said that Thurman was
among those who solicited him TO with
draw it. He also reviewed Aliens Co
lumbus speech sarcastically, and then
addressed himself to the general issues
of to-day, establishing that the doc
frfv fad hrr
principles of the Democratic party in
all parts of the country. The meeting
was very large, and held the people un-
til the close. Senator PiDchback, Of
Louisiana, who happened to stop over,
responded to call in a few spicy sent
eDces. The Republicans were entirely
satisfied with Morton's great effort,
which was reported ia full.
Republican Defeat in Colorado.
DENVER, September 1.-THE cleo
ton yesterday in this city and county,
as well as in the other counties of the
Territory, was entirely devoid Of political
significance. The tickets were a straight
Republican and q citizens or peoples
ticket, but voters almost entirely ig-
nored party and voted according to per-
sOnal preferences. Very few straight
tickets of either side were voted
Scratching was so universal that the re-
suits viii not be definitely determined
before noon to-day. Indications now
are that majority of the peoples can
didstes are elected to the most import
ant county offices, while the legislative
ticket is about equally divided. The re-
suit is regarded as defeat Of the So
called Republican ring. The good order
prevailing is attributed to the strict OBJ
observance of the liquor-law, the saloons
all being closed until after six o'clock
in the evening.
