A dispaich sent from Albany, New
York, Thuraday, says: Gov. Cleveland
was asked BY an Associated Prees re-
porter to day II he was aware Of a |
existing among oolored people |
Of the south that change ia adminiBtra.
ton would uniAvorably Affect their con.
aitions, 10 which he replied "Yes.
have been astonished at the statement
that there was An apprehension existing
among the colored people that in some
way their rights, now secured TO them
under the laws and constitution Of the
United States, were in danSer from the
election OF q Democratic President
am even told that sons Of
them are led to suppose the re-
suit Of the present election means
that they may again be made slaves.
AL Of this has appeared TO me to be 30
absurd, and have been 60 sure that the
slightest Intelligent rehsotlon would dis
lodge such iooliah fears, that can hardly
deem any notice Of them necessary. But
there is not the slightest objection to
calling the attention Of all who are in the
least uneasy or uncertain upon this sub.
ject, to the fact that the title Of oolored
people TO freedom and all the riRhta OF
citizenship cannot be disturbed except by
q change in the constitution, which II
would be absolutely impossible to make.
Besides, the present condition or status
Of these people has been 60 fully aoesptod
BY the entire country, that no one shOuld
have the slightest idea that any attempt
will be made TO change IL II there was any
possibility of accomplishing such o THING.
DO far as the new ADMINISTRATION Is
related to this subject the whole country
can be sure that tho lawful power and
jurisdiotion Of the executive will be go
exercised that the rights of all citizens,
white or black, under the constitution OF
laws, will be preserved and protected, all
the advantages to which they are entitled
BY reason Of their citizenship will be
secured to them. There need be no fear
that the Democratic party or its Mt WY
elected administrative proposes to Cypress
or enslave any part of our population nor
TO destroy the business interests Of the
country. We hope, on the other hand,
70 do something to benefit the people. Il

reotion would be aided il mischievous
croakings and dark imaginiDRs should
give place to an honest endsavor to in

cheerful hope for the future"
THR ERRORS coRRKcFRD.
At Albany, Thursday afternoon, the
New York state board Of canvassers me;
at 4 O'Clock. Ex-senator ConkliDR was
present fer few minutes. A protest to
the effect that Sd green electoral ballots
had been cast in Delaware county for the
Republican electors, was read, and, on
motion Of Attorney. General o. Brien, was
ordered TO DO entered In the proceedings
and the return passed as received. The
Kings county return shows a slight dis
erepancy, but this was explained by the
county clerk, and the return
was passed. The discrepancy In tn,
Richmond county return was explained
by County Clerk Cornelius A. Hart. II,
presented the original tally sheets, and
stated that the error in the return beiori
the board was owing to the omission OF
the part Of the copyist 70 insert tn
names and votes OF two Butler eleetorS
The mistake was not apparent in tn,
separate footings, appearing only In tn,
totals, and comparison OF the origins
with the statement transmitted 20 tn
board verified his explanation. On mo
tion Of Attorney General 0'BTien, which
was unanimously adopted, the clerk wa
permitted to correct the return. All tn
returns have been received, and tabu
lated statement will be ready for sigma
ture to-day noon, to which time the boar
adjourned.
A SCARE IN WASHINGTON.
A Washington special to the Philadel
phiA Timer, dated Thursday, says:
painful futter WAS caused in politics
circles to day because OF rumors iroI
Albany relative to the returns froI
Richmond county, New York. The new
that further errors had been discovered
transferring nearly Thousand votes I
Blaine, took vigorous root in tn
departments, where drowning me
seem to be plentiful. It rapid
spread about town in exaggerated ioFm
and created nearly 9 panic in oe.tai
quarters. A coincidence flastered thi
story immensely. This being the frs
clear day since the count was finished, tn
Whitaker banner, which wAs huus
turled, over the avenue in front OF Wi
lard's, was spread out to dry preparation
70 removal. Clerks coming cut OF tt
treasury TO hear the news sAw that Blair
and Logan banner once more uniurle
70 the breeze and ran back TO infoFI
their fellow-clerks. Democrats saw I'll
same banner a mile away and were scare
half TO death. 1t was some time bstOI
the excitement was allayed by the circl
lation OF the truth.
