GORHAM ON BLAINEs DEFEAT.
His war on Malone One of the EIe-
ments In His Downfall.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-George c.
GOrham has written the following letter
from New York to the National RepubJi-
can of this city, expressing his views on
the defeat of Mr.. Blaine:
The South was made solid by Mr.. Blaine's
defeat Of the "f0rce bIll' in 1875, and Hayes
snbversion Of the governments of South
Carolina and Louisiana in 1877. The South,
thus made solid, was broken in 1881 by the
Malone coalition IN Virginia, spite Blaine
and his opposition. He summoned all his re-
sources, including his newspaper organs, to
drive Malone and his followers away from
the Republic IN party, and to restore the solid
South by forcing Virginia back into the Demo-
cratic fold. After failing in this work in 1882,
he finally succeeded in 1888. This year he
was quite willing to have Malone succeed,
but the wounds he haG inflicted proved
to be mortal. AS Blaine omitted these inter
estng facts from his speech on the solid South,
delivered at Augusta last night, ask space
for this mention of them in the newspaper in
which have so often stated them before. If
Blaine had been opposed to the solid South,
even year sooner. Virginia would not have
been remanded to her previous condition last
year, and would undoubtedly have been joined
by North Carolina. The twenty three cleo
toral votes of these two States added
given him POS. just four more than
enough without New York. Blaine's reason
for opposing Malone, as stated by him to one
of his leading friends in 1881, was that he
was not going to build up certain Repubi-
cans whom he named. AS it turns out, he was
ocratlc party, all of which shows that a ship
cannot be scuttled and sunk for the purpose
of drowning portion of the crew without
Wetting others.

CLEVELAND'S INTENTIONS
THE WHOLE COUNTRY,S GOOD
HIS SOLE AIM.

Business Interests to be Benefited in
Every Way POssible-The Folly of the
Fears of the Negroes ReafHrmed-
Cheerful Hope for the Future should
be Universal.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 2O.-Gov. Cleve-
land was asked by an Associated Press
reporter to-day if he was aware of the
delusion existing among the colored peo-
pie of the South that change in the ad-
ministratiOn would unfavorably affect
their condition, to which he replied:
Yes. l have been astonished at the state
ment that there was an apprehension exist
ing 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 danger from the election of
Democratic President. l am even told that
some of them are led to suppose that the re-
suit of the recent election means
that they may again be made slaves.
All Of this has appeared to me to be
so absurd, and L have been so sure that the
slightest Intelligent reflection would dislOdge
such foolish fears, that l 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 subject to the fact that the title of
the cOlored people to freedom and all the
rights of citizenship cannot be disturbed eX-
cept by change in the constitution, which it
would be absolutely impossible TO make. Be
sides, the present condition or status of these
people has been so fully accepted by the en-
tire country that no one should have the
slightest idea that any attempt will be made
to change IL ii there was anv posi- bility of
accomplishing such a thing. Some are led to
suppose that the result of the recent election
means that they may again be made slaves.
CLEvELAND's PROMISE.
So far as the new administration is related
to this subject, the whole country can be sure
that the lawful power and jurisdiction Of the
executive will be so exercised that the rights
of all citizens, white or black, under the con-
stitutiOn and laws will be preserved and pro-
tected, and all the advantages to which they
are entitled by reason of their citizenship
will be secured to them. There need be no
fear that either the Democratic party or its
newly-elected administration proposes to Op-
press or enslave any part of our population,
nor to 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
aided if mischievous crOaking and dark
imagnings should give place to an earnest
endeavOr to inspire confidence and to make
universal the cheerful hope for the future.

OPENING OF THE REICHsrAG.

A Forecast of the Work Contemplated
Given in the Imperial Speech.
BERLIN, Nov. 2O.-The Reichstag was
opened to-day with the usual formalities.
The imperial speech called attention to
the satisfactory progress which the work
of social reform had made, and announced
that bills would be introduced extending
the system of wOrkingmen's accident in
surance and savings banks. Another bill
will be brought forward sanctioning an
imperial contribution towards the
expenses of admitting Bremen to the ZOll-
verein. Another bill will grant subsidy
to the Colonial Steamship Company. In
connection with this a communication
will be laid before the Reichstag, con-
cerning settlements which have been
placed under imperial protection, and
concerning negotiations which are now
proceeding in regard to them. The speech
further stated that it was necessary to
create new sources of revenue. The great
depression in the sugar industry rendered
an increase of the tax on beet sugar diff
cult.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS SPEECH.
Emperor William in the course of his
speech spoke of the continued accord be-
tween Germany and France. He said:
Germany has summoned a conference of
the powers to secure Africa from the
disturbance arising from international
friction. The universal acceptance of
the conference proves that the friendli-
ness OF the various powers towards Ger
many is based on the fact that the
successes in war which God vouchsafed
do not tempt us to seek the peoples hap
plness by other means than cultivating
peace. l rejoice at this recognition, and
particularly that it was possible at
Sklerniwice to cement my friendship with
the Russian and Austrian mOnarchs,
who are so connected with me by ances-
tral ties, trading relationship and neigh
borhOOd, that l may regard as certain the
undisturbed duration of peace for long
time to come. | thank the Almighty for
the certainty of the strong guarantee of
peace thus afforded"
A GREAT CROWD PRESENT.
An unprecedented number of members
of the Reichstag We're present to hear the
Emperor William read his speech to-day
Among the spectators were the royal
Princes, Prince Bismarck and all the
members of the Bundesrath. The space
reserved for members of the diplomatic
corps was well filled. Special accommo-
dations were also provided for delegates
to the Congo. conference. The Emperor's
speech was printed in characters quar-
ter of an inch in height. The speech was
received with loud and frequent applause,
especially those passages alluding to Ger
many's colonial policy and the Congo
conference. Upon the conclusion of the
opening speech Prince Bismarck formally
declared the sessions of the Reichstag
open. A Bavarian delegate called for
three cheers for the Emperor, which were
heartily encOred.

DALLAS, Nov. 2O.-The private bank of
Adams S Leonard closed its doors at noon
to-day. 1t is claimed that the embarrass-
ment is only temporary. The assets
amount to nearly S500,000, invested in
Texas bonds. The liabilities are not
known. The firm is composed of Samuel

Leonard. The bank was largely patron
lied by cotton and cattle men of North

suits from the inability of the firm to re-
