In THE address of welcome" to Governor
. Cleveland at Buffalo yesterday by Mr.. Mar
tin, the Governor is commended by his fell
low citizens who have known him during
twenty years of his active life for Single
ness of purpose, rugged honesty and the
faithful discharge of duty "We, your old
friends and neighbors," the address con-
tinues, "rejoice to know that in this bitter
campaign not one reputable man nas yet
been able to point out one solitary official
act of your administration and pronounce
it subject to just criticism not one reputa-
Bile man has been heard to say that in any
single official act you have made the inter-
ests of party or of self superior to the public
good, or for one instant forgotten that your
Office was a sacred and solemn trust, to be
administered for the best interest Of the
whole people,"

Mr.. BLA1NE's CONDITIONAL special dis
patch from Washington to the Baltimore
Sun says:
"a prominent Ohio republican who arriv-
ed here this morning says there is much
comment in that State over the impaired
physical and mental condition ofMr. Blaine.
He said Mr.. Blaine was evidently very
much enfeebled by the ordeal of handshak-
ing and speechmaking through which be
had gone, and bis recent refusal to shake
hands with men wa, absolutely necessary 10
enable him TO secure sufficient retuperalion
to continue his journey with any eclat. He
aaid that Mr.. Blaine will be compelled TO
take a rest before going into any other
State of the West. This intelligence con-
firms the forebodings of friends of NJ. Blaine
as to his health, and they think it would
have been better for him had he remained
at home and husbanded his strength"

As GENERAL MALONE derives his entire
effective strength from the negroes, it is by
NO means surprising that he should at least
say, as he does, that he wants all race dis
tinctions obliterated. But tits strange, that is
if he credits the negroes with the possession
of even that little understanding to which
they are entitled, that he never gives them
any public recognition, and that of all his

Cameron on the stump-Brady Reflects on Him
and then Retreats
Governor Cameron addressed a large
crowd at Nottoway C. II. yesterday, and
declared himself opposed to Brady, the Ma.
hone candidate for Congress, and in favor
of Joseph 2. Evans, the colorcd candidate,
as the choice of the people and nominee of
the regularly-organized convention. Brady,
he said, may be good citizen, but he is a
bad candidate. His officers and employees
are sent through the counties as paid agents
to coerce the people to vote for him. Brady
had brought up q crowd of his friends from
Petersburg, bearing banners, to influence
the country people. The Governor told the
people to resent this wrong OH the day Of
election. He said he was making this fight
inside the party, and no man could make
him change his position. He said he intends
to meet Brady in his own town before this
fight is over. Petersburg had never failed
him when he called on it, and it will not
fail him now.
Brady spoke at the same time from diff
ferent stand not fifty yards away He was
very severe on the Governor for descending
from the dignity of his high Office to take
part in this campaign. He charged the Gov
crnor with taking part with those who are
seeking to raise the race issue, and pro-
nounced him a base migrate for opposing
one who had befriended him so much. He
said Cameron's position was the most humil-
iatins Of any man who had ever occupied
his high office. In the course of his speech
he impugned the motives OF Cameron, and
said he was catering to Evans in order to
curry favor with the democratic Legislature
to prevent impeachment because of his con-
duct with the broken Petersburg bank
When this was reported to Gov. Cameron
he sent message to Brady demanding a
retraclion the remark. Brady qualified
it by saying that he had made the statement
on reports. and not on personal or official
information.
This was not satisfactory, and Mr.. John
;. Wise, mutual friend, again visited Brady,
when the latter consented to make the fol-
lowing statement: After having my atten.
ton called by IL friend to my remarks con-
corning Gov. Cameron's motives in coming
here to speak, and being advised that he
made no reflection on my character, wish
to Withdraw and retract any remarks re-
fecting upon Gov. Cameron or his connec-
ton with the Petersburg Bank" This was
deemed satisfactory, aud the matter was
dropped.

on one occasion invited to the tent
of a minor chief, who was my guide
and most humble servant. He con-
cocted, for my benefit and that of
several guests from nelghborlng
tents, a brew of very thin coffee
with an immense quantity or sugar
"a sort of syrup which had hardly
any taste save Of sugar, ana,
having a small piece OF the sugar
loaf left, he gave it to me on our
parting as the only present ne
was able to Offer. We sat in this
tent for more than an hour admiring
the ''masterIy inactivity" of the
Arabs, who can apparently sit silent
and quite unemployed for whole
days, and who thus appear to await
with endless patience the day when
civilized races shall have worn
Themselves out by their struggles
for existence and the Arab survivor
be left mastsr of the field. This in
activity is, however, deluslve; fCT
