quent in the resorts of the hummer ele
ment of the party, and the colorec
men in consequence are on the verge
of rebelling against this infamous treat
ment. A disturbance is feared here
should the insults of the Rebel element
be continued longer, but it is hoped
that their better sense may prevail. A
general demonstration will take place
Tuesday evening next by the enthusi
asts aforementioned, at which time i
is asserted they will paint the city il
all the colors of the rainbow. The
Northern element of the Democratic
party here is as bitter and venomous as
the Rebel element.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. S.-Severa
families of colored people yesterday
moved over the river from Covington to
this city, and others followed their ex
ample today. They said they were
afraid that if Cleveland were elected
they would be sold into slavery again II
they staid in Kentucky. They wanted
to get into free State. Some of them
said if it did not cost so much they
would go to Canada. A gentleman who
came down from Maysville today says
the colored people up there are move
ing over the Ohio in the same way.
In the celebration at Atlanta, U. S.
Senator Brown, in Boosting of their
power to disfranchise the blacks whilst
having them counted in forming theil
representation in Congress and the
electoral college said:
''If Republicans had not given the
ballot to the colored race, and the
Southern States had not acquiesced in
it, the South would have had smaller
number by thirty-seven in the Electoral
College than she now has. This would
have turned the scale in the present
election, and instead of the general re-
joicing over the Union in our Democra-
tic success, the Republicans would have
been exulting over the success of their
candidate"
AtSt. Louis one of the traniparencies
read: Rum Well drink as much as we
damn please" and the drunken pro-
cession sang the Bonnie Blue Flag"
AT Frederick; Md, one of the speak
ers said they would resort to the bullet
if Necessary to inaugerate Cleveland.
AT Jacksonville, Fla, Mr.. Charles Ill.
Jones, editor of the Times Union, made
an inffammatory speech, and in the
course of his remarks quoted from Dan
iel Manning's editorial, and said that
those who attempted to place Blaine in
the Presidential chair should bekilled and
arrested; and that the Democratic party
would protect the murderers. Resolu-
tons were then adopted to the effect
that the efforts of the citizens of Jack
sonville were rendered for the purpose
of installing honest Grover Cleveland in
the White House at Washington.
In some of the celebrations in Moth
ern states the Democrats responded to
their,Southern Rebel brethren as ardent.
ly as they did in the election demosta-
tons in 1864.

The Democrats are full of enthusiasm
over their supposed victory. Republi-

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Nov. S.-The
Democrats of this city held large and
enthusiastic meeting last evening to
ratify the claim of the National Com
mittee that Grover Cleveland had been
elected President. They paraded the
streets headed by band led by q
man carrying the United States
flag with the Union down. Torches
were rather scarce, but shotguns were
plenty, and the latter were freely used.
Resolutions were unanimously passed
declaring that Grover Cleveland and
Thomas A. Hendricks had been elected
President and Vice President of the
Uuited States, and inflammatory speech
es were made br Col Keatley and
Mayor Vaughan declaring that by the
help of God and their strong right arms
they should be inaugurated. 1t was 8
decidedly noisy. reasonable demonstra-
ton, and many respectable Democrats
were so disguised that they withdrew
and refused TO take part in the disgrace
full proceedings.
The New York Sun says of Wander
bits gift of $4,000 to Cleveland
The monopolists are not all on ONT
side by any means. They know how tt
divide and conquer. Mr.. w. III. Wander.
bilt made the largest contribution tt
the Democratic Committee for cam.
paign uses of which there is any known
record in the United States. He re
served this donation until very late
day.
The Chicago Tribune in closing {
long editorial congratulating Wisconsin
Republicans on their splendid victory
says:
The four new Congressmen-La Fol
lette, Thomas, Caswell, and Var
Schaick-are vastly superior to the
Democrats whom they succeed, so thai
the change in the delegation is an i'm
proyement personally as well as politi
cally. Mr.. La Toilette of the Madison
district will be the youngest member o
the next Congress, and Mr.. Caswell
after recess of one term, returns to
Congress. where he has already served
with credit for eight years.
The Wisconsin Mugwumps, Prohibi
tionists, Butterflies, and personal lib

doubt will, over Blaine's defeat, if h,
is defeated, but they cannot boast 0
what they did in Wisconsin to bring
about that result The Republicans il
that State did their duty well ant
achieved a signal victory.
