Tho Election of Cleveland Completes the
Colored Mans Emancipation.
Thanksgiving Serm u

after forty ye4rs of toll" said Mr. Beecher,
with tears in his vace, Moses was allowed to
behold the promise land from afar. l, who
so much less worthy than he was, am permitted
to go over with the rejoicing troops into a land
flowing with milk and honey. What am I that l
should be given the privilege of laboring all this
time and seeing the glorious end myself That
has come to pass at last which was the only
safety to the colored race Just as soon as the
Southern statesmen accept their restoration to
the body polite that will take place which has
taken place everywhere There will be party
administration-the ms, and the party opposed,
the outs. And the moment you have these two
parties, each party has q sentinel watching it.
And in the South that will take place which is
the only salvation of the colored race So soon
as they are divided between the administrative
party and the opposition party they will be
taken care of. The administrative party
will not allow their voters to be injured,
and the opposition party will not allow
their voters to DO injured. And they will be
protected as they should be, and the strength of
each party in the South will be the safeguard of
the colored voters. regard this as the final step
Of emancipation. And it is in these views that
have acted and in the calmest retrospect rejoice
that have been able so to act. The greatest
mistake of my life, have been told, was the
writing of the Cleveland letter. No, not a letter
from Governor Cleveland-a letter wrote from
the Ohio city That's twice l have stumbled upon
Cleveland. Laughter l was invited TO act as
chaplain to a convention at Cleveland of our sol
diers and sailors Of the army and navy, the OBJ
ject of which was to bring back the Southern
States. The letter wrote expressed my views
at that time. 1 will read it that you may see
the straight line in which my ideas have run
from the time of the war down to the present
time"
Mr.. Beecher then read the letter which en-
bodied the same thoughts as those he had just
expressed. 81 then wrote a letter to be read at
Plymouth Church" continued the reverend gen
tleman, land it seems as though had written
it for to-day. | said:

DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE TO BLAINE.
The Briniancy of the Fight He Made Frankly
Acknowledged.


New Orleans Times Democrat tDem.)
There is but one comment on Mr.. Blaine's de-
feat-'.He made gallant and brilliant fight"
Millions of freemeu voted against him. Hun
dreds of thousands labored and schemed, and
contrived to compass his overthrow. A score of
the most distinguished and influential Republic
an journals in the country and many scores of
Republican leaders seeded from their party and
lent their efforts and their example to the cause
of the Democracy Never before in the history
of our politics was there presidential candidate
SO terribly handicapped for his race. Handi-
capped by his personal and official record by the
bitter animosities of powerful men within his
party; by the independent movement; by the
Prohibition movement; by the mischieyous folly
of such friends as Dr. Burehard; by every con
ceiyable element Of weakness-Mr. Blaine yet
made contest which was picturesque in its ex-
terror aspects, bewildering in its brilliaucy and
startling in its narrow approach to success The
campaign is over and the result is known Mr.
Blaine is beaten There is no longer any doubt
as to the facts of the case. But he lost by the
thinnest margin ever developed IN a national
struggle, and the winner may be p2rdoned Tor

or continued his adherence TO the Republican

thousands of honest citizens! Suppose Mr.. Blaine

The fact that Mr.. Blaine, handicapped as
he was. weighted as he was with his record,
antaGorized as he was by the best and most
respectable elements of his own party, ham

ratsly opposed by implacable enemies-Mr.
Blaine, surrounded and embarrassed by
such frightful disadvantages lost the
race ny the merest scratch. The wonder is not
that he was beaten but that he came so near
winning. Any other man similarly circum
Ftanced would have been hopelessly distanced.

His Leadership Under Adversely.

New York Special.
The Tribune contained an editorial during the
week which significantly called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Blaine is only ffty-fo year old,
and not dead yet although his enemies are very
anxious to make that appear When MI. Blaine
is mentioned as second Clay, and the attempt
is made to carry the parallel to the conclusion of
q second defeat the success of General
jackson, after first defeat, is pointed
at as jast as likely precedent. General Grant
is reported as saying after he read AR. Blaihe's
address, that it would rally to his support every
stalwart in the country not under the personal
influence of Mr. Conkhng A Republican Of
prominence, who has been through Penusylva-
MIA the past week, says he found there many of
the old Blaine and Logan clubs perpetuatIng
their organization The Augusta speech has
been printed in both German and English, and
is being widely circulated there. 1t is every
where talked about, has given direction to the
party feeling and is a rallying point to keep the
rank and file from deserving. la Ohio, by
direction of the chairman of the State commit
tee. the Blaine and Logan clubs are keeping up
their work In Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa and
Kansas the Blaine and Logan clubs are going to
winter over in the same way The idea is being
taken up in this State, the Twelfth ward club,
nine hundred strong. having set the example on
Wednesday and added resolution indorsing
Mr. Blaine for denomination.
Among the probabilities OF this Blaine move
ment IS the return of j. b. Chaffee to the Sen
ate, from Colorado, in place of Senator Hill.
Chaffee in such a position would be power,
and he believes Mr.. Blaine is the leader to
whom the party must turn There have been
charges that the seemingly strong demand SO
early made in Mr. Blaines interest is the work
of overzealous friends FBut so far as investi-
CATION goes, his warmest friends in the late can
vass are the most astonished at the turn events
are taking and are seriously querying among
themselves whether it is wise for party and
country. Meanwhile Mr. Blaine is reported to
be as aispassonate in the matter as he was be-
fore the Chicago convention. and to be nedi-
tating another speech on different topic, to be
made at any early day for which opportunity
may be found at Washington. He has been
expected here daily for week, but his coming
has been postponed another week. In eonnec-
ton with the leadership he is showing under
adversely, an old member of Congress recalls
the fact that when the lower House became
Democratic in 1874, and he stepped from the
speakership to the floor, he became at once tho
leader of the Republicans, and by his splendid
arranseme nts made it possible to regain control
of that body.

Running Down the Man Who Printed the
Spurious Tickets.


All doubt as to who printed the spurious tick
cts which the grand-jury investigation discov-
cred were substituted for the original ballots in
the Second precinct of the Eighteenth ward, and
by which Brand was supposed to have defeated
Leman, the Republican candidate for State Sen
ator, is now dispelled in the minds Of those
pushing the case. While there are many points
upon which they will be obliged to have more
positive testimony to convict, District Attorney
TuthiH, Long Jones and E. R. Bliss have suf-
ficieut circumstantial evidence to make it very
apparent that the tickets were printed person
ally by w. FL. Wright, junior member of the
firm of P. L. Hanscomb g. Co. Mr.. Wright,
on being questioned, gave very evaslve
replies, but he has not denied the truth
of the charges made, that he put the bogus
ticket in type on the afternoon of November II,
and printed the ballots on the evening of that
day after all the employees of his firm had left
the Office Long" Jones and l.. r. Bliss held a
consultation in the Office of District Attorney
Tuthil at II o'clock, and discussed these tickets.
This is regarded as the most important point
now to be inquired into. Jones said he was salts
fed that Wright had something to do with the
matter and that if he would not talk as citizen
in favor of lending his aid to unearth a fraud,
some way would be discovered to make him. 1t
was understood that he came to ask Mr. Tuthil
to frame subpoena against Wright immediately
for use before the jury on Monday, and in the
event that nothing could be got out of him, that
that an Indictment should be returned on the
evidence already in. 1t is also intended to at
tempt to secure another order from the District
Court for ballots in other precincts in the Sixth
district.

Yesterday afternoon appointed w r.
Woudard receiver of the Texas & st

formation leading to his action cannot
be obtained tonight, but IL seems To
have grown out of the partial failure
of what IL known as the read justment
plan to provide means to clear of the
floating Indebtedness of the road and
fully equip IT, An assessment of seven
and a-half per cent. was recently made
on the second mortgage bond and
stockholders of the road, but only
about ninety per cent. OF them re-
sponded. This did moi yield sufficient
funds for the purpose designed, and il
was thought better to place the road in
the hands of Il receiver than to
sell il under foreclosure of first mort
gage bonds. The effect of this action
Il expected to be To force delinquent
second mortgage bondholders and
stockholders to pay the assessment, and
thus put the road in immediate good
shape. Receiver Woodland has been
