his policy this morning. In Il great

fault to find because several consider
Durango the only field in the state.
We have been here the past fifteen
years. and in modest way hope to
continue. In doing this We extend the
right hand of fellowship to Bro. Tul-
ley. and while we think he could make
few thousand dollars go further in
some other place, he will always find

We doubt whether it was ever the
happy fortune Of any other ex-Presi-
dent of the United States TO do so
much for his country and for the fu-
ture of two races in a single public
discourse as was done by Mr.. Grover
Cleveland at the Tuskegee meeting in
New York. 1t seemed impossible at
the time that such wise, humane,
Statesmanlike and Christian coun-
sells to the white men of the South
could fall on unheeding ears; that
they have made an impression, and a
profound one. the evidence already at
hand amply proves. Nothing could be
more satisfactory and encouraging
than the serious mood, the reasonable
temper in which the responsible pub
lie journals of the South have received
Mr.. Cleveland's speech and considered
it.-HartfOrd Courant.
