MONDAY EYEN,t. SEPTEMBER Is

Mr. RuBINsoN's SpEEcH.-Mr. Lucius
Robinson, the democratic candidate tor Gov
error of New York, in acknowledging the
compliment Of sereDade in Albany, night
or two ago, said:
Fellow Ci,zans Of Albany-I thank you most
heartily for this cour esy and your kind trl.nd,
" greeting My official duties have required
me to reside many years among the people OF
this cid historic city. have received at t cir
hands iunumerabe favors, personal and social
as we'll as political and an grscful Tor this
additional expression Of their regard. an
aware that the ccc.,loG % II Is the DOMINATION
made by the democratic Stale convention on
Wednesday last. All who know me Know that
| nelther sought, desired nor exp ctcd that
nomination. But | hold that in this rcpubll
can government il is the duty of every citizen
when called to the public service by the pco-
ple, without any agency Of his own, to obey
that summons, aud to serve unless prevented
by insurmountabe obstacles. 1t the people
shall ratify the nomination il will be my earnest
effort to discharge the duties OF the othce 10
accordance with the cardinal principles OF the
democratic party of equal and exact justice to
all men; economy 10 the public service, to the
end that labor may be lightly burdened and
the correction Of the abuses which so naturally
creep into the aduIl1lstratlon OF the govern
men1 by political parties long enjoying unllnilt-
ed power.
That great abuses now exist and have loug
existed in the administration OF the general
government is admitted by all men out our
opponents claim that they may be corrected by
their Own parry. Can they be? Is it proba'
BILE or possible? Is it anywhere recorded IN
the political history of this country that any
party corrupted by the long possession of power
ever r, formed itself aud corrected its OVID
abuses? 1t has never been done and will not
be without a change Of administration -
Whether such change shall be made Is he
question at issue 10 this campaign. But 90
not appear before you to discuss these ISSUES
| appear simply to express my gratitude for
your kind greeting Applause.

RAILROAD Accountability after
noon as the through mail train of the
Pittsburgh division of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was approaching Cumber'
land and Pennsylvania Junction, at q
high rate of speed, the engineer saw just
adead train OF loaded coal hoppers OF
the Cumberland and Piedmont railroad
crossing the track. He at once reversed
his engine and applied the air brakes,
and collision would doubtless have
been averted if the brakes had
worked. Unfortunately The rubber air
hose burst, the brakes flew back useless
and the train kept on, the locomotive
striking the train in the middle, break
ing more or less ten coal-hoppers and
throwing seven of them off the track.
The locomotive or passenger train re-
ceived no damage whatever and no one
was hurt. Three hours were consumed
in clearing the track, and all trains were
delayed for tina: length of time.

sequence, the Times, the CooPER.CAREY
organ announced that no paper would be
issued from that Office on that day. The
enthusiasm among the printers for more

that he could not restrain 1t ii he would;
and such intense enthusiasm and type
sticking are so entirely Incompatible,
that nothing was left but TO close the
