ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 2.-Governor
Cleveland was asked by II United Press rep
reSeutative il he was aware OF delusion
existing among the colored people of the
south, that a change in the administration
would unfavorahly affect their condition, to
which he replied:
''Yes. | have been astonished at the state
ment tt at there was an apprehension exist
ing among the colored people, that in some
way, OF their rights now secured to them,
under the laws and constitution of
the United States, were in danger
from the election of a Democratic
president = < So far us the now
administration is related to this subject the
whole country can be sure that the lawful
power and jurisdiction Of the executive will
be so exercised that tire rights Of all citizens,
white or black, under the constitution and
the law will be preserved and protected, and
all the advantages to which they are entitled
by reason of their citizenship, will he secured
to them There need he nc fear that either
the Democratic party or its newly elected
administration proposes to oppress or enslave
any part OF our population. nor to destroy
the business interests Of the country. We
hope on the other hand, tt DE- something tc
benefit the people.
1T seems to me that our efforts il
that direction would be aided if mis-
chievous croaking and dark imagin-
ings should give place to an earnest en-
deavor to inspire confidence and to make
universal a cheerful hope for the future"

Of bands was the magnificent illumination Of
business houses and residences. The star.
and stripes hung from the porches, and
lanterns from the trees and from the win
dows, while bunting in profusion nearly
concealed the fronts of shops and residences
alike.
Mr.. Hendricks was escorted to the rink by
fine procession which moved through
throngs of people and was received with
enthusiastic cheers along the route At the
hall harge crowd had gathered and waited
patiently for the hour Of s p. m. when Mr..
Hendricks was due. The hour of came
and was passed, but it was $50 p. m.
wien the slap Of one pair of hands
near tile rear doors was taken up by another
and another pair of hands, until at
length storm of cheers swept over the audi
ence. Vice President Hendricks had ell.
tered the hall and by those near the door had
been recognized Soon he began mounting
the steps "l the stage upon the arm Of Judge
Van Wyck. AS MIR Hendricks stepped upon
Tie platform, where hc could be seen by ali
III the building, the audience was on its feet
ny common impulse. Men cheered and
waved their hats ladies waved their hands
and handkerchiets, and the band Joined in
tha general acclaim
After being introduced Mr.. Hendricks pro
1eeded first to declare that the result WIS not
entirely due to Democracy, but that much
credit should be given 10 the Independents.
He referred to the fears of the cOlored people
that Democratic success meant their
undoing, and denied that such was
the case. He discussed the taxation ques-
tion, saying that a Democratic victory
meant administration reform, and 'partic,l-
larly tax reform, and criticised the Repub-
licans for having a surplus in the treasury.
He said the Democratic party had been
patient and WISE and faithful in defeat; that
it was of all things in favor of stability and
for that cause had been called the Bourbon
party and so far as that meant stability in
favor of right he accepted it; that the result
of the election meant change but not de
struction, and repuIiated the claim that the
success of Democracy involved danger to
any interest or class or section.
Upon civil service reform he expressed
himself as folisMs: Do you ask me if am

in favor of continuation Of so many things
that We have seen in some years that are past.

condition of cattle shipped from one
