THE MEETING AT LINCOLN MEMORIAL MIssIo
LILLE ID N u

ihE MEEIlNG LINCOLN MEMORIAL MISSION
THE ADDRESS BY Mr.. DOUGLASS.
The celebration of the twenty-third ami
versary OF the emancipation of slaves In ttle
District of Columbia was continued last even
Ing with meeting at Lincoln Memorial Con-
&Tegational church, which was largely
attended. Hon. b. X. Bruce presided. Mr.. w.
{. Chase read the emancipation edict, and Mr..
Frederick Douglass delivered the Grafton. Re
ferring to the election of democratic Presi-
dent Mr.. Douglass said the coored race was,
for the first time since il had been raised from
cnattels 10 citizenship, confronted by the rule OF
a party which had steadiastiy resisted every
eI?rt Tor Its elevation. The alarm, however.
which had been awakened among the colored
people, had, thanks to reassurances promptly
given by the Presidentelect. gradually given
away 10 feeling of security. How long 1t would
last depended on the course of the adminiStra-
ton; The Presidents inaugural utterance was
all that could toe asked. 1t was frank and
occasion OF the great fact Of the actual citizen
snip of the negro. No better words have
dropped from the east portico of the Capitol
since the inaugural addresses of Lincoln and
Grant than fell from the lips of President Cleve-
land on the 4th of March last Can he keep his
promise? 1t may be that in a duty so plain he
can control the other branches of the govern.
ment to an observance of it. The speaker had
done all in his power to elect James G.. Blaine,
but he was disposed to trust Cleveland, who by
word and oath, soemnly taken before count
less thousands, had bound himself to execute in
visions of the Constitution. He said he was
encouraged to- believe that the President had
resolved to sustain a course of absolute fidelity
10 the Constitution as 1T stands, protecting
white man and black man alike. If the dem
ocratic party did justice to the negro, he said,
it would again seat itself in power four years
hence. He thought the republican party
stronger to-day than it was before the election
One great lesson to be learned by the republic
can defeat is the absolute folly of relying upon
past good behavior. In the late campaign the
1larfy OF great moral ideas sought victory on
grounds far below its ordinary level. There
was no square issue between the republican
and democratic parties.
