of strengthening our army during the war Of the
rebellion.
The speeches Of Hendricks on this subject,
both in the Senate and at public meetings in this
State, are familiar to all readers of the Journal
how he declared it to be an outrageous insult
to every white soldier, and sufficient cause for
them to lay down their aims and refuse to fight,
if the order was carried ont: how he called upon
fathers, mothers, wives and sisters. asking them
how they would feel when their sons, husbands
and brothers were marched into battle along
with Triggers" and to be supported by them,
saying the 'niggers' would skedaddle at the
first fire, leaving the white soldiers to stand and
be butchered; that it would be nothing less than
outright murder and butchery
Every one familiar with the history of those
dark days will remember the solicitude on the
part of the War Department and the leaders of
the Union cause as to the effect the order would
have upon large part Of our army, so great
was the existing prejudice OF many patriotic
soldiers against the eeered race. owing to the
teachings of Mr.. Hendricks and other leaders
of the Democratic party, fears being enter
tanned of open revolt in our already depleted
army.
Soldiers of General Thomas's division will
recollect how "Old Pap" being advised as to the
day the order would be issued, on that morning
called RS division out on dress parade, where
upon he made them speech and announced to
would be issued reciting many reasons therefor.
But not being as great orator he was a
military genius, his announcement and speech
fell like a wet blanket upon his gallant troops.
General Logan, being present, and seeing the
downcast, not to say angry, looks of the boys,
at the conclusion of Thomasis remarks, pro
eeeded to give them a speech full
of his characteristic eioquence and patriotism.
He told them it no light skirmish before
them, to be done up some morning before break
fast, as they had first thought but that it was
long fierce and bloody struggle; that the very
life of the Nation hung in the balance; that it be
hooved them and the government TO avail them
selves of every help they could possibly
mand Said he: IF l could bring crocodiles
from the jungles of Africa to fight rebels, L
would fight with them. If could bring
snakes from the swamps Of South
America to battle for the Union, /
would fight with them. If / could bring lions,
and tigers and elephants from India to fight
against the hosts of treason, would fight with
them; and proud and glad will l be of the assist
ance and strength of arms in the hands of our
eolored friends in the great war fer the life and
perpetuity of our country"

telling effect of this speech at the end of which
they were ready to ilurra for the eolored boys.

cupied much public attention, but until now no
public word has been heard from the unfortun

points which bore hardest upon her in the de-

son. have been induced to remain silent while
the disgrace and suderings brought upon me by
Grover Cleveland have been discussed and
criticised by the public and the press, and
would most gladly remain silent even now but
for the duty which owe to my aged and af-
hicted father, my children, and my sisters, to
whom my troubles were unknown until
made public by publication few months ago.
My duty to these relatives and to those friends
who knew me before my acquaintance with
Grover Cleveland, whose kind assurances of
love. and sympathy and confidence have reached
me, compels me to make public statement and
denial of many of tho statements which have
been made public concerning me, and my char

FACTS ABOUT NEW YORK.
Substantial Reasons why the State Win Go

Interview with Mon. Ellis II. Roberts. il
81 can see no good reason to doubt that Mr..
Blaine will carry New York The Republicans
will go down to Harlem river with CO. 600 major
ity certainly, and would not be surprised to see
it go.as high as eighty or one hundred thousand.
Now do not believe the Democrats will get
over 200 in New York and Kings county.
They may get 80, 900 possibly. but l think it is
more probable the figure will sink to 30 600 than
rise beyond 10000 The reserve vote of the
State, which is got out only at presidential cleo
tons, is heavily Republican, and we will GER
tainly get 3 large majority of the new voters.
The Blaine tide is distinctly rising nova and
there is great advantage in taxing the
vote on the rising tide. Then the tariff issue is
going to help us greatly. ~
ION this question Mr.. Blaine has come out
boldly and squarely for protection while the
Democrats have sought to evade it, or have
sought to adjust their platform to the different
localities. That policy might have done in l840
but it is not a success IN these days of tele-
graphs railroads and newspapers. What is said
or done in Indiana, to-day, is pretty certain to be
known in New Jersey and Connecticut to NOR
row next day.
AT what figure do you place the probable in
dependent vote, Mr.. Roberts4'
II have such contempt for it that hardly
know what to say about it. The stalwart bolt
here is complete fasco. This is tho home Of
Mr. Conkiing, and the $50 or SO men whose
names have been published as boilers from

they represent the full strength of the movement
in this city.
Sin the county they will not have 400 all told
and not over 300 OF them will vote for Cleveland
In the State the independent vote will be- fully
offset by the Irish detection from the Democrats
to say nothing of the Butler movement"
But the independent nationa, committee
claim they have the names Of sixty thousand
Republicans of this State signed to pledge not
to vote for Mr.. Blaine"
That's very absurd claim, and their lists of
so-called independents are absolutely valueless
as indices of the strength of the movement. All
campaign committees send out before elections
for lists of names of men to whom documents
can be sent. The independent committee did
this and it is these lists they are basing their
claims to a strength of 10000. West of Utica
there is absolutely no independent strength. If
you find independents there they are simply in
dividuals representing only themselves.
Those who make any calculations on the
claims of the independent Republican committee
will be terribly mistaken. Many of the names
sent from here to that committee were of our
most active Republicans, and the patience has
been badgered out Of me by complaints OF such
men, who felt insulted by being elassed with the
independents On this movement the Demo
Gratis seem to be basing all their hopes and the
consequences will be disastrous to them"
