ALBANY, Nov. 20.-Governor Cleveland
was asked by All Associated Press reporter
to.day If he was aware Of the delusion
among the eolorcd people of the South
that change in the administration would
unfavorably affect their condition. 81,
Governor Cleveland replied, "Yes, !
have been asionishedat the statement tia!
there was M apprehension existing among
the colored people thut 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 q
Democratic. President. / am even told
that some OF them are led to suppose the
election means they lnay again
be z made slaves. All this has
appeared to me to beso absurd, and have
been SO sure that the slightest intelligent
reflection would dislodge such foolish fears
that ] can hardlydeem any notice Of them
necessary. But there is not the sliehtes,
objection to calling the attention of all
WHO are uneasy upon this subject
to the fact that the title OF the.
colored people to freedom and all the
rights OF citizenship cannot he disturbed
except by u change in the Constitution,
which it would be absolutely impossible to
make. Beside the present condition
or status Of the peopla has ]; been
so fully accepted by the entire
country that no one should have
the slightest idea that any attempt will be
mnde to change it. If there was any posi-
bility OF accomplishing such a thing. so
far as the llew administration is rclated 10
this subject, the whole country can be
sure that the lawful power and the
jurisdiction Of the executive will be SO
exercised that the rights OF all citizens
white black, under the Constitution and
law will be preserved and protected and
nll the advantages to which they arc en,i.
tied 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
oppress or enslaye. any part OF our popu
lation, nor to destroy the business interests
Of the country. We hope, on the other
hand, todosomething to bpnciit the people.
1t seems to me that our efforts in that
