.ored people Of the South that change
In administration would unfsvorably af.
feet their condi ions, to which he re.
piled:
"Yes, have been astonished ct the
statement that there was sp Apprehension IN
existing among the colored people ths,
in some way their rights now secured tn
them uuder the laws and Constitution { I
the United States, we're in danger from
the election OF q Democratic President
l am even told that some of them are
led TO suppose the result Of the recent
election means that they may again be
made slaves. All of this has appeared
to me to be 40 absurd, and I have been
40 sure that the slightest intelligent re.
fec ion would dislodge such foolish fears,
that can hardly deem any notice OF
them necessary; but there is not the
slightest objection to calling the stten-
tion OF sll who are in the least uneasy
or uncertain upon this subject to the
fact that the title Of colored people t.
freedom and all the rights OF citizenship
cannot be disturbed except by change
10 the Constitution, which il would be
absolutely impossible to make.
Besides, the present condi ion or
status of these people has been so fully
accepted by the entire country that no
one should have the slightest idea that
any attempt will be made to change it II
there was snv possibility OF accomplish
ing such thing. So far as the new ad-
ministration i, related to this subject,
the whole country can he sure that the
lawful power aud jurisdiction of the
Executive will; be so exercised that the
rights Of all citizens, white or black,
under the Constitution and the laws, will
be preserved and protected, and all the
advantages TO which they are entitled by
reason OF their citizenship will be Sc
cured to them. There need be no fear
that either the Democratic party or 1t.
newly elected administrative propose to
oppress or enslave any part Of our popu.
asion nor destroy the business Interests
of the country. We hope. on the other
hand, TO do something to benefit the
people, 1t seems to me that our efforts
IN that direction would be sided II mis-
,bievous croakiog and dark imaginings
'hould give place to an earnest endeavor
o inspire confidence and to make uni.

TOO MANY ELECTIONS.
A Movement to Abolish the October
Contest.

Since the election and even before
there has been much talk regsrdi.e the
time OF holding the o no State election
ana sentiment was stirred up 10 oppo.
si,ion to the October date, many people
asserting that it should be abolished and
the State officers chosen the same ilsy a
the Presidential electors. This OF course
was not meant to apply only to Presi.
Dental years but to all years, having the
election always 10 November. In &C.
cordance with this expression the fol.
lowing petition Is in circulation:
To the Honorable, the General Assembly Of the
4. State of Ohio:
The undersigned. citizens Of Ohio, re.
specially represent to your honorable
body that the holding OF the State Elec.
lion 10 the month OF October, during
the year OF the Presiden ial Election, af.
fects most injuriously the business inter-
este OF the State. and results in much
damage to public and private morals.
1t needlessly proiracts the anxiety and
Disturbance of the political contest; IL
entails upon our people heavy burden
Of additional expense; it invites into
our State, during the preliminary cam.
paigu, all manner OF corrup log iphu.
ences; and it's distracting and pernicious
effect Is felt, more or less seriously,
throughout the whole country. We
therefore most earnestly request your
honorable body to submit to the people,
at the hsxt election, an amend ment to
tbe CONSTITUTION, changing the time OF
holding stbe State Election from October
to November !
To this petition the names OF Gov.
ernor Hoadly. Ex Governors Foster,
Bishop, Cox and Young, Senators Sher-
man and ,Payne, Gil the judges OF the
Supreme Court and the Supreme Court
Commission have already been signed.
II Is . matter concerning which there
seems to be no difference Of opinion be.
tween the opposing parties. The evils
OF the present condition are obvious
enough to men Of oil parties. And it
is evident that these evils will increase
Now is the time to move In the matter.
1t il not likely that the Legislature will
hesitate to submit the amendment; the
only thing necessary is to arouse and
deepen the public interest. so that when
the vote is taken, the amendment will
not fail through indifference or iuatten-
ti0n.
Newspapers throughout the State are
requested to copy the petition, and to
announce that copies OF 1t. for circula.
tion, will be furnished on application to

The Premiership.

The Times cannot affect to be the per
sonal moutbpiece OF Senator Allen 6
Thu man. 1t would msnifestly be indeli
cate to seek to publish 10 the national
Democracy the feelings OF that honored
statescan, and pretend for them either
authority OF accuracy But knowing
from the past bis character and views,
the Times. for itself. can confidently
proclaim that should President-elect
Cleveland heed the voice OF the whole
country by calling the Old Roman to
the premiership, Allen G Thurman will
not refuse to hearken to that summons.
He is In the vigor Of q we'll preserved
maturity. Years OF usefulness open IN
prospect vet before him, and this nation
will not consent that he retire to the
blessed comforts of home and library.
The country needs auch sturdy men as
counsellors. and obedience to this uni.
versal demand is coro'lary clearly to
be drawn and predicted from the patri.
otic conceptions OF citizenship ob'iga-
tons which have controlled him in the
past.
He ia no Official claimant. It is the
basest insult that office mendicancy could
offer an ideal statesman to think OF Sena
tor Thurman As an applicant for recog.
ni'ion under any administration When
be is rendered the portfolio OF state it
will be time for him to say yes or no
1t is indecent to misrepresent him in ad-
vance. II is insulting to approach bin
Tor acceptance or refusal until Cleveland
be given time 10 hear the unanimous
chorus OF the people and TO honor
himself in profering the Premiership to
the Senator.
The Times has confidence that the
President.elect will perceive that the
feelin. of security during bis adminis-
trstion must rest largely upon the know
probity and intelligence of that family
Of advisers, his Cabinet. It believes
that be will espouse no novel features OF
delusive brillfancy nor seek to surround
himself with the disciples OF sny new
Democracy. The old, tried servants OF
. popular faith must be to Ills honest,
straightforward mind, his best friends
