Throngs of curious people continue
to 20 to Albany to inspect the person
al appearance and shake the hand of
Governor Cleveland. They do not
come away more empty handed than
do the numerous political mission
aries and disguised scribes who seek
openings for assault upon the
manners ana methods of the plain
Democratic Governor of New York
whose frank and open urbanity
seems TO be as exhaustless as his
patience. On all hands it is agreed
that his devotion to very laborious
and taxing duties which are Incl
dental to his coming retirement from
the governorshlp continues without
shadow of change. One thing at a
time is evidently the rule with the
young man of Albany who is about
to enter upon the dignities and re-
probabilities of the highest earthly
station. 1t need not be doubted that
he will maintain the one and dis
charge the other with a reso!ute and
firm purpose to serve his country in
every way that can do it good.

A recent special to the Salt Lake
Tribune says: John Kelly's illness
occasions much apprehension among
his friends, particularly his political
adherents. The Times says it has
been given out that he is suffering
from a severe cold. Jntlmat tie friends
are averse to talking about his actual
condition, but, from their chary ut
terances, enough is obtaine d to show
that they believe he is breaking
down. Kelly will be Ga years old
next April. The question of who
shall succeed him in the dictatorship
of the .Tammany Hall Den ocracy is
q very'serioas one. Kelly..will die
without political issue. / n all the
$1,000 voters in the Tamma ny organ
ization, there is not one fit to succeed
him as the head of the party. It is
this fact that stares the organization
in the face and adds to the bitterness
of it's defeat at the polls. The defeat
of his organization has left him a
broken man. There are moi wanting
those who say his mind is gi wing way.
1t is apparent that his reign is over.
Tammuny must soon cease He, as
well as his henchmen, IRE casting
about for q leader.

GOOD COUNSEL.

In charging the Grand Jury at
Starkville, Miss, Judge Arnold made
some very timely and sensible re-
marks to allay the apprehensions
among colored citizens aroused by
such mischievous talk az Blaine's
incendiary speech at Augusta. We
take pleasure In quoting the follow
ing praiseworthy passage from the
charge, which we find in q Southern
journal:
"Let me say to the eolored men on
this Grand Jury. and to all who hear
me, that there is no foundation for
such apprehensions. Whoever has
taught such doctrines has taught q
lie. 1 assert, and before God I be-
lleve it. that all the constitutional
aud legal rights of colored people are
more secure to-day and will be more
respected hereafter than they have
ever been. Let the doubts and fears
of the colored people on tho subject
be dismissed. Lot them rest assured
that no law can be enacted which
will discriminate against them, and
that there is no party that desires to
enact any such law, and that no ad-
ministration of the law which dis
eliminates against them would be
tolerated here or elsewhere"
In giving this wise and reassuring
counsel from the bench to the color
ed people Judge Arnold has rendered
an important public service. His
words should be copied and read all
over the South.

Nj. Blaine has come to the con-
clusion, as our news columns show,
that his defeat was owing to Mr..
Conkling's coldness. MI. Blaine is
more than half right ; but for this
coldness he has only himselfto thank.
Ae was the cause of MI. Conkling's
retirement from public life. BY every
means that he could bring to bear he
sought Conkling's humiliation, and
1t would have been wonderfully mag
unanimous had COnkling helped to
elect him. Blaine's defeat was in
deed q victory for Conkling, and the
only wonder is that Blaine admits
what everybody else kno VS. to be
true. BY the way, it is a tout time
thst the "reminiscences of the vcneT-
able Mr.. Blaine should stop.
