Several thousand people filled the Brooklyn rink
last evening to jubate over the election OF CIeye

ex-Gov Hendricks and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
Mr.. Hendricks in the course Of his speech said: 81
am sorry that after the result attempt has been
made to fnfuse into the minds of our colored voters
the idea that the success OF the democratic party
means the destruction OF the rights and privileges
Of our colored voters. This is great wrong. As a

cratic ranks, and as free and independent voter

WHAT GOV. CLEVELAND SAYS.
Gov. Cleveland was asked by an Associated Press
reporter yesterday II he was aware OF delusion
existing among colored people OF the south that a
change OF administration would unfavorably affect
their conditions, to which he replied" Yes,
have been astonlshed 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 constitution OF the United States
were in danger from the election OF democratic
president am even told that some OF them are
led to suppose the result OF the recent election
this has appeared TO me to be so absurd and have
been SO sure that the slightest Intelligent refiec-
ton would diSlodge such foolish 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 un-
easy or uncertain upon this subject 70 the fact
that the title of cOlored people to freedom
and all the rights OF citizenship cannot be dis
turbed except by change In the Constitution.
which iJ would be absolutely impossible to make.
BeS deS, the present condition 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 IL If there
was any possibility OF accomplishing such thing.
SO far as the new administration is related to this
subject, the who!e country can be sure that the
lawful power and jurisdiction of the executive viii
be SO exercised that the rights OF all citizens
white and Dlack-under the Constitution and the
laws win be preserved ana protected, 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 administrative officer proposes
to Cypress or enslave any part OF our population,
nor to destroy the business interests OF the cOun
try. 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 mis-
chierous croaking and dark imaginings should give
place TO an earnest endeavOr TO inspire confidence
and to make universal cheerful hope for the
future"
