SPECIAL TO rHE EunEKA DAILY SENTINEL.
Evarts' Speech Severely Criticized.
Democrats Confident Of Carrying New York
Diabolical Outrage by Mississippi
Negroes.


NEW YORK, October %.
The Times, commenting on Evarts'
speech last evening, says OF its ~aIlusion to
the possible need Of a strong man in the
Executive chair: Reduced to plain English,
this means that unless the South permits
the negro vote to be cast AND counted, we
must ~re-elect Grant. That this opinion is
entertained by a majority of the Republi-
can party there can be no possible doubt;
that it will be the controlling opinion in
the National Convention is extremely prob
able, but a man with the position and ante
cedents Of Evarts ought to hesitate in echo
ing the strong man cry, without stopping
to explain how the executive authority,
which should be accorded to General Grant,
can be any more full than that possessed
by Hayes, and in what way the former can
render his authority to maintain the free
dom Of the suffrage more effective than he
did during his last term as President.
The World comments as follows: 1t is
unfortunate that the speech delivered by
Secretary Evarts last night should be Of
the sort to make the country believe that
he deeply regrets his famous speech in
condemnation OF Grantism in Louisiana,
and that il he could he would willingly re-
call it, and obliterate the memory Of it.

Committee continues to receive hopeful

From this table the members of the Com
mittee claim q majority Of over so, 900 for
Robinson in the State, but to get this, ac-
cording to their own figures, they require
. majority Of nearly 10000 in this city.

been greatly overestimated. A Robinson

Square Garden next Monday evening.
