Father Chinioui Mobhed.

MONTREAL Nov 6-The celebrated ex-priest,
Rev Father Chiniqui, lectured in Russell Hall
last night. The hall was packed the audience
being mostly opponents, and outside mob of
about 2,G0O gathered. The proceedings were
constantly interrupted, and soon after the lee
turer commenced the audience refused to let
him proceed Men stood on the seats and win
dow-sills bowling derisively and yelling when
ever the speaker attempted to make himself
heard Large lamps and benches were broken,
and broken glass soon scattered over
the hall The small police force present
was unable to preserve order. The lecturer
appealed TO the police to clear the hall. which
they finally accomplished A few of Chiniqui's
friends remained to protect him. The mob then
commenced throwing stones through the win
dows, and good deal of damage was done and
several persons injured. The lights were turned
out, and the mob fired at random, threat
enng to kill Chiniqui Carriages were
summoned, and, while the police beat back the
crowd, Chiniqui and his friends entered them
and rapidly drove off

He Thinks He Was Fairly Elected. and
Should Be Seated.
AUGUSTA, Nov. 6-A1r. Baine's friends and
family were greatly astonished and annoyed by
the reports about his health, which seemed to be
current in some of the large cities Mr. Blaine
is in unusually robust health and excellent
spirits. The Democrats seem quite confident
of the election of their ticket, and tonight cele
brated the victory. The address of Chairman
Manning as to the vote of New York conflicts
with all advices received by MIR Blaine. Mr..
Blaine said he had treated the Re-
publican nomination as an honorable trust,
confded to him without solici taton, and had
therefore spared no time and no effort to secure
success. He had full confidence that he had
been fairly elected, and he trusted every effort
would now be made to vindieate the sacredness of
the ballot. ITO quote my own saying on an
important OCCASION" added Mr.. Blaine, ANY
party in the United States can bear to be
defeated, but party will bear to be
defrauded Mr. Blaine freely expressed his judg-
ment that the majority of the votes of New
York had been cast for the Republican electoral
ticket. He thought the returns and comparisons
with former votes clearly established this con
clusion.

New York, Nov. 6.-The excitement which
has stirred New York continually for the past
three days is still undated. The same feverish
anxiety to know the result prevails.
The Democrats have been claiming New York
State all day, loudly declaring Cleveland's
election. Every Democratic paper tonight pro
claimed Clevelands election, both in their news
and editorial columns The Republicans have
been confident all day The headquarters of the
Republican national committee have been
thronged, and tonight the streets are
filed again. The crowd is totally
different one from those to be seen
at other gathering places; it is composed of
business men and representative persons
generally The street opposite is lined with
cabs and carriages, and from the
windows peep the dainty fingers and
gloved hands of ladies anxious to
hear the news. There was no glare of electric
lights, no bands of music to attract crowd, but
the platform was thronged with members of the
committee The crowd that had massed itself
in the block cheered to the echo
when gain after gain was reported
from New York, Indiana and other
States. Finally, when the chairman read out
dispatch that New York was sure for Blaine, the
hurras were deafening, and the sound being car
red through the still side streets could be heard
as far as Fourth avenue, where it arous
ed the throngs gathered in Madi
son avenue, and brought hordes of Gu
riosity-seekers from the hotels in the vicinity.
Women were as plentiful men, and seemed to
be carried away as much by the prevalentexcite-
ment as the representatives of the sterner sex
Invariably their sympathies seemed to be more
with Blaine than with Cleveland. Business was
almast suspended, and multitude of people
gathered about the newspaper bulletin-boards.
The papers have issued extra editions all day.
The News, a Democratic paper, admitted
this afternoon that Vanderbilt had given $3.50
900 to the Democratic national committee
Ninety thousand dollars of this went TO Indiana,
and $1,000 was expended in New Jersey.
The Democratic papers have steadily refused
to give the figures upon which they based their
claims, and have even suppressed the Associ
lted Press reports. The public has been

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Republican State
committee has issued the following:
SIN view of the claims made as to
the result of the election in New
York, the Republican State committee
deem it their duty to announce that
while the vote is very close, the re-
turns and estimates from the most anthem
tic sources Justify the belief that the
people of this State have cast plurality in
favor of the Republican candidates. We
have received copies of the official re-
turns as filed in the several county
clerks Offices in all except eleven counties
Besides this, we have caused careful re-
examination to be made of returns for
warded to the police headquarters in
New York and Kings counties. From the re-
naming nine counties we have procured direct
information from the most reliable sources
and feel justified in asserting, with
entire confidence, that the State has
gone Republican The result thus ar
rived at is confirmed by an entirely
different investigation, based on the returns
collected directly from every election district in

this or Mr. Tourgee is right in supposing that
the negro in his growth will hold his and
advance on the white man in population until
the "black belt is all black 1t is then displace-
ment and gradual occupation of the labor field
by superior labor, either securing as it goes the
better life conditions leaving that part of the
problem which is common to both sections, to
solve afterward, as in the North.
We merely suggest this idea in connection
with grave subject, rather to have it thought
on than hoping to have made it even clear.
Speculation on the subject is justified because of
the evident difference between the conditions
surrounding the labor problem North and South,
and because the realm of theory and specula-
ton lies much closer to practical life than is
generally allowed by so-called practical men,"

RACES AND nAnuR.
A Southern View of IA Pressing aud Inter
esting Problem.


Memphis tTenn.) Avalanche.
Many thinkers and writer's argue that the
negro is the necessary factor in the South
necessarily occupying relations of perpetual race
antagonism. If this be true, the negro is a prom
inent factor although factor for so many years
that his impermanence hardly Interests
practically the present generation. Mr.. Tourgee
recognizes the gravity of the problem, but not
the permanency of race antagoniSn The two
schools agree in the main as to the facts OF rapid
increase and gain upon the white population,
and as to the gravity and imminency of the
problems involved
Accepting the fact of permanent race antag
onism and assuming that in spite of all theories
and apparent facts, the superior will not be dis
placed bv the inferior race, an instructive
trast may be suggested between the Southern
and Northern social organization.
The Northern system is one of a foundation
of a vast labor and working element embracing
all who live by wages for handiwork, skill and
mind, hand and brain work. We do not mean
merely labor in the narrow acceptation, but
broadly all wage workers-all who are not CAPT
talists and proprietors. The problem, then, is
not to obtain relief from work, but to elevate
labor and the worker and to make life conditions
pleasant and permanent for the lowest, that all
may enjoy, in honorable toll, home, domestic
life independence, comforts, conveniences and
a wholesome spice of luxury. However far off
this is, the end is one sure of ultimate attain
ment. Present conditions make it appear
further off than years ago, but these conditions
are transient and correctable.
If race antagonism is permanent and there is
to be perpetual silent struggle for occupancy, a
very different state of affairs will exist at the
South. Ina general way the same problem of
human advancement and construction growth
of a society of well-living human beings, from
the bottom up is the end in view in both sec
lions The only difference is in the conditions
and the means. If We are to take for granted
tho perpetual race antagonism, and hence i'm
permanence of the negro at the South, the
problem must work itself out in a very different
way here
Where the Northern society is developing from
the bottom upward, continually lifting the lower
round higher, the process in Southern society
must be from above downward-a continual
pressing upon the negro mass below by eager
labor, occupying first the higher and better
places and gradually extending to the lowest

such time it would not require much of an
incentive to turn the multitude the streets
