NEW YORK, November 2O.-Several
thousands of people filed the Brooklyn
Rink this evening for the purpose of
iubilation upon the election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks, and to listen to
speeches from the Vice-President-elcct
and Beecher as well. The buildings in
the vicinity of the rink were Illuminated.
At $50 Vice-President Hendricks had
entered the nall upon the arm of Judge
Van WICK. As Hendricks stepped
upon the platform where he could
be seen by all in the building.
the audience was en- its feet by common
impulse. Men cheered and waved their
hats, ladies waved their hands and
handkerchiefs, and the band Joined in
the general acclaim. Judge Van Wyck.
at 8.35. called the meeting to order, and.
in brief terms, introduced Ex-MayOr
John w. Hunter, who was received with
cheers. With a warm compliment to
Indiana and Thomas A Hendricks he
then, amid tumultuous cheers, pre-
sented that gentlemen.
Hendricks opened his speech by
saying: Indiana sends greeting TO the
Democracy of New York, and especially
TO Brooklyn and Kings County. And
Democratic. He regretted that after
the glorious result an attempt had been
made to infuSe into the minds of the
cOlored voters that the success of the
Democratic party meant the destruc-
ton of the rights and privileges
of the cOlOred voters. 1t was a great
wrong. and the colored voters who had
Joined the ranks of the Democracy
would remain under its broad banner
and principles. He thanked the indie
pendent Republicans and all others
who had stood by them in the trying
hour, and the truth had prevailed.
They tell us we viii be responsible for
the future OF this great county" He
accepted the responsibility, and pre-
dlcted peace and good government COR

IL was God that gave clcm
the power to set the Republicans
