elecu0n. Blame made speech at Augusta
Tuesday evening, which shows more abil-
ity than anything he did during the cam
paign 1t proves that he accepts the result
of the election in a manly spirit, and indi-
Gates his title to be regarded to-day. in spite
of the result of the election as one OF the
foremost, if not indeed the very foremost,
of the leaders of the Republican party. VI
course we do not agree with the views
which he expressed, but that is no reason
why we should not recognize their import
ance and significance. The ideas in this
one address are suggestive enough TO form
the basis of policy on the part of the Re
pubIicans, which the Democracy can only
meet successfully by the exercise of great
discretion and superior craftsmanship In
order fully to understand what they will
have to encounter and overcome, the Dem
ocratic leaders should carefully study this
address.
Cleveland and the Fears of the Negroes.
ALBANY, November 20th-Cleveland was
asked by an Associated Press reporter to-
day if he was aware of the delusion among
the colored people in the South that
change in the administration would unta-
yorably affect their condition. Governor
Cleveland replied: Yes; | have been
astonished at the statement that there was
an apprehension existing among the col
ored people that i'll 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. | am even told that IN some
cases some of them are led to suppose the
result of the recent election means tnat
| they may again be made slaves. All this
| has appeared to me to be SO absurd ana
have been so sure that the slightest intelll-
gent 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 at
| tention 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 ofcitizenship,
cannot be disturbed except by change in the
Constitution, which it would be absolutely
impossible to make. Besides, 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 1t, if
there was any possibility of accomplishing
such a thing. So far as the new Admins
| tration is related to this subject, the
| whole country can be sure that the law
| full power and jurisdiction of the Executive
will be so exercised that the rights OF all
| citizens. white or black, under the Const-
| tuition and law, will be preserved ana pro-
| tected, and all 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 Cypress or ensiave any part OF our popu-
| lation, nor 10 destroy the business interests
of the country We hope, on the other
hand, to do something to benefit the peo-
pie. 1t seems 70 me that our efforts in that
direction would be aided if mischievons
croakings and dark imaginings should give
place to an earnest endeavor to inspire con-
| fidence and make universal cheerful hope
| for the future"

Cabinet-Making in Washington.
| WASHINGTON, November 20th.-The bar
room statesmen and corner loungers of the
CAPITAL continue to make and unmake
Cabinets for President Cleveland. The De-
partment clerks are too busy in deyising
schemes to keep their places to bother with
the politicians of Rum Row. Washington
| is certainly the head center of gossip and
speculation now, but the drivel of the Cos
| Slippers is of as much value as the chatter
of MONKEYS Within the next ten days
men will begin to arrive here whose opin-
ions are of value, and who can give ideas
of value regarding the future policy of the
| Democratic party One idea that prev
| walls TO a considerable extent among the
| Cabinet builders is that New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana will each
get Cabinet position, and that two will 90
| to the South. This calculation leaves one
| place undisposed of and the belief appears
| to be that it will 90 to some Western man.
| Ex-senator Thurman continues to be named
| by great many, notwithstanding the
| assertion of some of his friends that he
really prefers to spend the remaining years
of his life in the quiet of his home. In a
speech delivered at Brooklyn during the
campaign, Mr. Thurman mentioned his
| age and said he realized that at best only a
] few more years of life would be left to him.
| he declared that if he should be spared to
| see the Government once more i'll the con-
troll of his party, he would ask for nothing
more, and those who know him best say
| that he was entirely sincere, and that he
cannot be tempted again TO the toll and
cares of public life. Senator Pendleton
| will retire on the 4th of next March, and it
is understood that he would be willing
10 accept seat in Cleveand's Cabinet;
| bat the mention of his name recalls
| the fact that he is bitterly antagOniZed
| by strong element of his party in Ohio,
| because of his authorship of the civil SER

that Mr.. Cleveland will not, even for the
sake of emphasizing his devotion 10 civil
| service reform, DC WILING 10 raise row
within the party, which some believe
would assume proportions equal to the
| Conkling-G Garfield fight. Then there are
others, and among them men OF prom
inence in the party, who say that if Gov
| ernor Cleveland shall deem it proper to
name Senator Pendleton for a place in his
Cabinet, he will not be deferred by any
| opposition it might arouse among the Ohio
| Democrats Wisconsin is often referred to
as State that ought to be cultivated by the
incoming Democratic Administration. The
| increased vote cast for the National Demo-
cratic ticket at the recent election is re-
gar1cd as an indication that that State can
| be easily brought into the Democratic
| column, and it is suggested that Cabinet
| appointment would 90 far towards accom-
| plishing that end. Hon. W. +. Villas, who
presided over the Convention which nomi-
mated Cleveland, is the man talked of for
| the Cabinet should Wisconsin draw the
| prize. During the past few days Represent
alive A. 5. Hewitt has been a good deal
talked of rs the probable representative
of the Empire State in the Cabinet.

after all New York will not get
Cabinet place, notwithstanding the
prominence of the State. The sup
| position is based upon the assumption
that Cleveland will make it his aim TO
