Et Carries tbe Greetings of Indiana Democracy to the Hew York Democracy, and Diacnseee All the Living Issues of toe Day. TICK PRESIDENT MEND1UCK3. E Addresses Thousands at the Brooklyn Kink. NxwYork, Nov. 20. Several thousands I people filled the Brooklyn Rink this evening for the purpose of a jubilation upon the lection of Cleveland and Hendricks and to Daten to speeches from the Yice Presidentelect, and from Bey. Henry Ward Beccher as well. The buildings in the vicinity of the rink were illuminated, and bunting was employed to attest the political eentimants f some near-by dwellings. At 1 o'clock a band took possession of the front stairs and the rink's doors were epened, And kali an hour later every sitting place was occupied; benches were brought in from the neighboring prayer-meeting room, and they were filled as f&?t as produced, the aisles were rapidly filled, and the open space before the platform was taken Votfs?icn of by ladies who were unable to find chairs. Shortly before 8 o'clock the band entered the building, and its place was supplied by pyrotechnics and burning tar and soao barreis. The atmosphere, whicn otherwise was raw and inbospnible, became mellow and more endurable as it was warmed by the steadily increasing throng. Nj prominent - Democrat in Brooklyn was misting from the rink, and there wrre many prominent cttiaecs present who are net within the Demo cratic fold. "When tbe tonr of 8 came and was passoJ, the crowd inside had jncreasad. to nearly 4 WO people, but it waa 8:30 p, m. when ib alap of a pair of bauds near the rear doora was taken np by another and another pair of bands, until at last a storm of cheers swept over . Uie . audience, YiceFfesj.lent. Hendricks had entered the hall, and by those um tie door be n recognized, itoan he bor gan mounting the steps of the stage, upon the arm of Judge Van Wyck. As Mr. Ileadricka stepped upon the platform, where "ha could be teen by all in the building, the audience was on its feet by a common imenlre. and the men cheered and wared :eir tat9, an 1 tbe ladies waved their handa and handkerchief.', and the band joined in the general acclaita. t Judge Van Wyck, at 8:33, called the meeting to order, and in brief terms introduced ex-Mayor John W. HonUr, who was reeeiyed with cheers, and with a warm compliment to Indiana and Thomas A, Hendricks, and then, amid tumultuous cheers, be presented that gentleman, who advanced and cpoke as follows: VI CI P&ZSlDESr HENDRICKS SPEECH. "Ladies Asn Gestlemes On this occasion you wiil permit me- will you not? to speak briefly of Indiana. Cheers. Indiana sends greeting to the Democracy of New York, and very specially to the Democracy of Brooklyn and Kings County cheers, and begs to assure thetn of her sympathy in the great cause in which they have fought to ether. Indiana and New York to-day loin hands, and it is to be regretted that it has to be over the great States of Pennsylvania and Onio. It is no slight matter to yea, men of New York, yen. the people of the seaLore, that so great a State as Indiana, so rich, so populous, eitcated midway amoDg the State?, is firmly fixed in favor of the great principles of frae government and perpetual onion. What shall I say of tbe general result afier speaking of Indiana? Let me first riniab about Indiana. She has elected tbe Electors of President and Vice President of the United States. Ehe has chesen a Democratic Governor, nine Congressmen out of thirteen, a large majority in each branch of the Legislature, unusually large, securing the return to tbe United State? Senate of our faithful representative, Daniel T?i VorIie?9, ehe Las elected the entire State ticket, and attached to the Democratic cause many counties of the State, so that the great State of Indiana today and for the f ature is Democratic I d j not join you to-night for any purpose of rejoicing over the f a 1 of our opponents. It is enough to Snow that tbey have fillea. (Laughter and cheers I join yon to rejoice, tot that their Mac; has been trailed in the dust, but that oars dies in triumph over the land; not that they suffer the pangs of disappointment and deltaf, but that we, the representatives of Democracy, the politics of the people, ere successful. This is no ordinary triumph; it is specially great. We have overcome not only the voters that opposed ui in politics, bat we have overccme the in finance and the power of the largest official organization aimoet ever known in the world. A hundred and twenty regiments of officeholders havebeea in tl e Held in this political contest, and they too have cot been sufficient to carry the dsy in favor of their party. I rejoice with you, my countrymen of Brooklyn, becsnse a party has come into power at last tn favor of the people's government. I rejoice with you that there has been found a party attached acd held together alone by their leve of liberty for twenty-five years. Cheers. J Ore-quarter of a century the Democratic paity has Buffered only defeat, and after that long period of constant defeat it has acrieved the greatest victory of its existence. Cheers. Sush a party can cot be otherwise than useful to tbe country, so devoted to what it bel eves right and true, and can not fail to be of srTice to this great country in the future, and, xr y conn trv men, to you men of Brooklyn, it is a consideration of great importance that responsibility refits largely upon you aa well as upon ps out in the West that this party shall bear itself in its period of triumph and soccees, whether it shaU be as grand in tbe day of success aa it has been patient and wise and faithful in the hoars of defeat. Great cheering. 1 1 is to me a source of the greatest pteaj re to meet you, my fellow-citizen a of Brooklyn, who, like Connecticut and Massachusetts, have followed the teachings' of Thomas Jeüerson and the great Democratic party. But I am also sorry that after the result an attempt has been male to infuse into the minds of our colored voters that the success of the Democratic party mant the destruction of tne Ji&hts aad Privileg of our c?lcrei voters.

This is a great wrong. My fellow citizens, as a free and independent voter the colored voter entered the Democratio ranks, and as a free and indpendent voter ha will remain under its broad banner and principles. We have been for the last quarter of a century nfferiig with great patience the rebuffj of the party in power with the statement that we were cot fit to be trusted, but on the 4th day of this month millions of cur fe low-countrymen declared we are to be trusted. The name that they who were our opponents delighted to call us, "eld Bourbon party" aye, I accept the name it was a French name given to that race who fought for tight, it and the Independent Republican party, and to those of the ministry oi the Gospel, and of the other great professions wbo have stood by onr side in the hour of trial. I know, year after year, that the tiuth is mighty and must prevail. Yes, the troth has prevailed. I will again repeat it, it has prevailed. The peo pie of the United States ha?e taken np the great question of reform in each and every department. - It does not mean that the change has taken place means the destruction of our institutions or a change in the administration of the Government Yea, there will be a change, but no destruction. When the Democratic party took hold of Cleveland and Hendricks it was likened to the cry of the traveler in the sledge who was followed by the wolves. But Cleveland and Hendricks came out of the battle better than the traveler, acd I am ashamed to say that the campaign just closed was certainly the most remarkable I ever took part in for calumny acd falsehood. But I knew when I heard all this goicg round that it would not avail and I did not go out of my way to say one word, but just let matters take their course in Indiana, and so it came out all right. I do not wish to speak in tones of disparagement of these who mnst feel the pangs of defeat, but I will atk the Republican party who gave them authority to sit in jndgment on the party of the people, and cay that it was not safe to trust the Government into our hands. This, my fellow-citizens, has been answered by the voice of the people of the Empire State, as well as the other 6ute3, in no unmistakable terms. Let us be patient now in the hour of triumph, as we have been in the long years of waiting. We, they tell us, will be responsible for the future of the great country. Yes, and we accept the great responsibility that will bring peace and good government to the people of the United States. Cheers. It was Oed that pave us the power to set thfs great leBson, a lesson that we must abide by, and a lesion that X hope the Republican party will not soon forget, that the great work commenced and carried out by the people of the United Elates on the 4th of November laät,when the Democratic party was once more placed in power, means nothing more or less than ft gQieraae 9l people, by the people and far the people. Oh you will eee a very great change after the 4th of next March, ben President Grover Cleveland takes his Beat at Washington. m Jt has been decided by the people that tuera shall be reform in the Government; executive reform, so that all the laws shall receive their just fcs prop . itruction ; tQr.stjuctloh that shall bring blessings upon (he common people, upon labor as well as upon capital; construction that will be in accordance with tbe true intent and mean irjg of the legislators; that there shall be administrative reform, so that there shall be no longer any Inabilty to carry the mails across the country without los to the public treasury cheers ; so that there shall be honesty in all the departments of the Government Do yen ask me if I an in favor of civil service reform? Of course I am in favor of civil service reform. I am not in favor of a continuation of eo many things that. we have seen for some years that are past People are tired of it, and they want a charge. Do yon desire to know from me what civil service I have confidence in? I am very free to say to you people to night that I sm not particularly confident of suecess after a school master's examination, but I will tell yen what I Lave confidence in. As it was in the days of Andrew Jackson, let a true man oome to be President of the United States, and let true men be called around him, to aid him in the public service, and let these men resolve that the only test of quantisation for office under them shall be honesty and fit ness for the service, and yoa have civil service reform. Cheers. This great contest has established It in this country that there must be revenue reform. In his message of December, 1882, President Arthur informed Congress and tne country that the revenues of the country exceeded by a hundred million of dollars the wants of the administration economically administered. A slight reform was made the next March thereafter; but after that your defunct Judge Folger honored be his came, he is dead now but in his last report to Congress, when he lived, he declared the present revenues exceeded the want? of the Government by fc5,C00,00O a year, and that is the labt record on tbe rubject Eighty-five millions of dollars in exet es of the needs of an economically adruinisteied Government. No, ray countrymen, to you men of Brooklyn, to you Diercbants, to you business men. to you laboring men, to yon skilled mechanics, I ask you what Is the standard by which the Goverr meut shall be reeulated in the taxation Of the leople? 1 "resident Arthur expressed it as well aa I am able to express it, He eaid that tbe only standard thould be the needs of the Government, economically administered. But Secretary Fo'ger, in his laetnpoitto Congms, said the question now presses on u, "Whet legislation will relieve the peop'e cf the burdens of unnecestay taiation?'' Aye, it is a burchn, and it Emses hard when it is $X5,Oi0,000 a year, tow much would 135,000,000 do for the country if taxation were reduced wieely and judiciously, bo as to leave in the pockets of the people and in tbe channels of trade the 85,000,000 every year? How much would it contribute tp the enterprise, tbe industry, the prosperity of the country? How much would it bless labor and stimulate capital? Here a murmuring noise in the direction of the entrance door grew eo loud that Mr. Hendricks paused, and asked for somebody's interference in the interest of silence. The remarks produced instant silence. Continuing his addxees, he said: The qars tion is, what is tbe position of the Demo cratic party upon taxation? I know of no standard of taxation, except that taxes shall tot exceed the needs of tbe Government economically admioistered. If you know of any better and safer standard of taxation, what is it? At the convention in Chicago the will of the Democracy cf this great Nation wa3 expressed in a few sentence. A resolution ou taxation was adopted. Of course that resolution related rua!&l7 to the tariff law, and now, if you pleaae to give mejyour attention, I will state what the Democratic party at ihat convention declared. It is expressed in fonr propositions: First Taxation thaU not exceed the needs of the Government economically administered. Tbat is borrowed from Mr. Arthur r'econd Taxation shall only be for public pnrroses, and not for private gala and speculation. Thvtl In the adjustment of the taxes care shall be taken not to hurt labor nor to harm capital. Fourth Taxation shall be heaviest upon articles of luxury and lightest upon articles of necessity. Thete fonr propositions, my countrymen, expreß the entire Democratic doctrine on the fcabject cf taxation; nay, I repeat it, so

that we shall havefno misunderstanding about it (he repeated the four propositions word for word as above), and when that great

convention at Chicago adopted that lat form it wrote it in letters of silver rightness on its banner, and that banner it banded to Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks, and they said: 'This is the banner; carry it out before tne people, and Btand or fall by the banner." Cheers. That banner has been carried before tue indomitable Democrats of Indiana. Ia triumph it waves to-day; in triamph it asserts to the American people everywhere that taxation shall only be for public purposes, and only to the extent of the needs of the GovernmemL It shall be organized eo as not to hurt labor or harm capital. It shall be heaviest on articles of luxury and lightest on articles of necessity. Tbey say the tariff is a very difficult thing to understand. I think it is dilfccult for those who wish to make it didcult and to impose somewhat upon the country. To me it is very plain, for it is written in thcfce four sentences; it shall be for the needs oi the Government, it shall be adjusted so as cot to hurt capital nor harm labor and it shall be heaviest upon articles of luxury and lightest upon articles of necessUy ; and new, my countrymen, if there be a Republican here tbat says nay to that sentiment of Democracy, let him rise up and Bay it Now is the time to say it, or, as they say at chmch, forever thereafter hold your peace. Let me repeat it, and then you make your objection, if you choose, each sentence by itself; pronouncing again the four sentences relative to taxation and pausing for reply at the end of each sentence. Is it possible, he continued, that a convention of the people, consisting of so many, delegates, has bees able to pass upon that difficult question of tariff so as to express itself so that every mm, woman and child in so large and intelligent an audieace as this is compelled to say. "That's right?" It is on uncommon indorsement ol a convention, and after this you - won't blame me much for being a whole-eouled Democrat, will you? If a party is so clearly right upon the Bubject of taxation, one of the highest powers of the Government, it can not be wrong upon anjtbing else. Taxation comes to a man's home andltokes for public use that which was his is his no longer, like the law of eminent domain, that takes private propperty for public use. Like the law of the Government, that says to the young man in the bosom of his family, "War has come and you must serve in tue army," this power of taxation is one of the most tremendous that the Government compaeBes or exercises; and now when I have submitted, sentence by sentence, and in detail, to this great audience, tbe sentiment ia that, for once, Pfjpocracy may be trusted. So nfitlprlng. If SöTSrSOj Cleveland shall call Congre 38 together, the mAciujery will commence, not to destroy, but to remove objections Did yon know the Republican Chicago pi at lor in on the tariff subject pledged itself to reform In the tariff, so as to remove its inequalities and reform its excea? They pledged themselves to reform 'their own work. Since the war there has been no Democratic Secretary of the " Treasury, all being in the control of the Republicans, and now at the end of twenty yam thy say to their countrymen: "Our legislation taxing you ia not equal. It produces excess of revenue, and we pledge yoa to reform it." It is too late now, and the time for repentance is not passed, but time for good woik is now passed. How ia it that on the enbieet of taxation the Republican party bas dared to come before tbe great elements of power in this country. New York City, Brooklyn City, and admit that taxation is unequal? The language of their -platform admits it is heavier rfl one man than another, on one class and interest than another. Will you be good enough to tell me what greater offense a political party in power can perpetrate than the making of an unequal tax law? As well might the Government in time of war ask your son to serve two years, and your neighbor's eon four years; as W6ll might government demand your private property without just compensation, and make compensation to your neighbor for property taken under like circumstances. Bat no, we mutt have equality of taxation, and the man Is going in that's going to have it that way. The Republican party demand tbat the navy shall be restored. Well, don't you think that ia a very queer request for a party to make of itself? Senator Eajard cheer? was tpoakicg in New York at a meeting not long since he stated tbat from 1805 to 1880 the construction end the repairing of the navy cost the people of the United States over four hundred million of dollars. Yet, if we believe the New York Tribune, we have no navy. Bat as it only costs about one million to build a man-of-war, we ought to have 400 ships at that rcte. Bat three or four weeks ago we bad a navy. It wai called the Tallapoosa. It wae, no doubt, a very poor one, for it could not right and it eould not rnn a tray. It was merely a cavy for pleasure, calling around with eorre cf theheads of that department. We1, on one of these excursions this navy of onrs came in collision with a sailing ship acd went down to the bottom of itz eea. Seme parties were bo very unkind aa to say It was a pity that the Secretary was not then on board: but I am not ono that indorses that sentiment But I want to tell yon another story about our navy that took flace in the Harbor of Smyrna n 1851. Martin Koata, who had been a Hungarian rebel, took refnge on board an American ship in the harbor of Smyrna to escape from tbe pursuit of his Austrian pursuers. He had intended to become a citizan of the United State, and to make this conn try his home, the captain of an Austrian man-of-war, however, to Martin Kost a a prisoner with the iatentien of handing him over to be tried as a rebel. An it was a great day far the American cavy when the man-of-war Bt. Louis, commanded by the gallant Commander Ingram, sailed into that harbor, and when Martin Koata claimed the protection of the flag from under whicn he had been taken, Captain Ingram eent word if Koeta was cot immediately put on board tbe 8t Louis he would blow the Austrian s out of the water, and although he Lad to live for a lapse of time in Franca accordiig to the stipulations pending the action of the American Government, he was thankful to the great and untiring efforts of William L. Marcey, New York's great son, who was then Secretary of ßiate under Franklin Pierce's administration, to enable him to return and live in the United States instead of piling the remainder of his life in an Austrian dnngeon. and I will tell you, my fellow-citizens, that whoever ia chosen after March next to 11 tbe position of Secretary of the Navy will eee that every dollar wiil be well spent toward once more building up our navy. Contrast that picture with the administration which Mr. Lowell represents abroad. Well, I believe Mr. Lowell is not coming back, but when President Garfield was lying on his dying bed James G. Blaine was Secretary of 8tate. The letter of McBweeny'a wife of the ICth of . September remained' unanswered. McSweeny was allowed to remain in a Brstish dungeon, and how any Irishman, any relative to the Enteral Isle could support the party who allowed that to occur to support

J85L is beyond my comprehension. It will never, my friends, occur, youjmay rest assured, under the administration of Pres'dent Cleveland. Cheers. When Franklin Pierce was President, the carrying tonnage of the United States was 85 per the party, of Knownothlngi3m of cent, now it is 15 per cent The carrying trade is now almost entirely carried on by ships; of other nations because ws are not allowed to buy a ship abroad and have them transferred under our; flag or so restricted that we can not compete with foreign bnilders so our commerce is nearly all done In foreign bottoms. There is not . a ship of any . size now building on the coast of Maine, no they are all principally- built abroad mostly on the Clyde. If yea go abroad yoa sec meet all other flags rapresented in the commerce of the . world of England, of France and Germany but: you wiil not see our glorious flag, the Star Spangled Banner. No, our commerce could be carried in a canoe. Ladies, with ' your American pride in your great country, and you, my fellow-citizens, who are always ready to fight tfc battles of your country, will - yon sot feel proud of the great task we have now undertaken of puttirgour American commerce in the Lands of American ship builders, and to tbe people of Kinss County I am deeply grateful to those who have so noly rallied round the Hag thrown to the breeze in ths name of Cleveland and Hendricks.1 You, like me, have been admirers and warm supporters cf the principles of Andrew Jackson. I remember, when a boy going to village to fee a political meeting, acd I asked the County Cierk, who who was a man who would not kick a email boy, what was the meaning . of that big hickory pole which stood inj the center of village. He told me it meant that when Andrew Jackson went to 4 Washington he would make a clean feweep of all the corruption in Fthe varions departmens, and I 'believe that when Grover Cleveland tikes his place there we'll have an honest and consci entious administration. 11 is motto was the hickory pole, as Ht is mine, as it is yours, and vre hope in the iuture to see this great country carried on under an administration securing ns all our righfs in Its future greatneaa and glory. Mr. Hendricks was loudly fheered at the close of his addrets, and tbe Chairman anceunced tbat Mr Beecher was in Boston and adjourned the meeting. Aq Informal reception wee given Mr. Hendricks, lasting Borne time, , . TICK ritESIDKN r I1JKICIIS.

Ohesrs. I know so honor possible to be enjoyed by any man greater than that which ia expressed in the confidence of the people, and there is no mode of expressing tbat confidence higher than the ballot in the box. Cheers. On the th of this month New Jersey did express her judgment that we should be the chies officers of this country. . The judgment stands, and will stand forever, because enough cf the other Etatea have concurred in that judgment -. of the . motion under the- const! the United states, ror tne part you have borne in that grave and responsible work I express to you my sinccrs tnanks and regards. To the Sullivan Club, of the City cf New York, (a part of the serenading body) I desire to express my thanks in very special terms. They have done to one, who is dearer to me than my own life, honor tonight. It was impossible that she should be here to receive this honor at their hands. They desire to express to her their respect and their regard for this bauner, the beautiful banner that expresses onr mutual love for Ireland. Cheers. Upon that banner, it was written by herself, "Justic? to lreisnd." A sentiment that all men ot all sstions and all kindreds of the earth ought to respect and henor. Justice to Ireland, that has given to England her bravest soldiers; Ireland, that has eent to this country of onrs men who havs fought in all its wars, men who have helped to develop this whole land, men who have illustrated the virtues of ciyilizitioa and of Christianity. "WASHING TON TERRITORY. The Governor's Annual Report Gives n J .dotting Account of Its Prosperity- and Its Prospects. AVabhinoton, D. C, Nov. 24. Watson Squire, Governor of Washinton Territory, in his annual report, says the manufacturing industries of the Territory have attained a highly gratifying degree ot improvement, that of lumber talcing the lead. Ia many cases Indians are engaged in prosperously cultivating the soil and it is believed tbe system of alio ting a suitable quantity of land to them, in severalty, can and ought to be encouraged. If they could be induced to concentrate and altogether abandon certain reservations It would conduce much to the development of the Territory, by the settlement and cultivation of large tracts of valuable lands that are now unproductive. Touching the Territorial law that conferred upon women the right to rote, the Governor says: "Although many of our citizens are disposed to question the wUdom of this law, especially when attended with the requirement that women should serve as jurors, it meets with the approval of a large majority of the people, and the wonen of the Territory axe for the most part strongly deBirous that the enactment be retained upon our statute book. Thus far it seems to be attended with, no important results unfavorable to the welfare of the people of the Territory." The report states that the value of the assessed property in the Territory ia $50,513,852, with one ceunty to be heard from. The Territorr is entirely out of debt, and on July 1, 1884. had a balance of 17,051 in the Treasury. The population of the Territory is estimated at 150,000. The Governor, In conclusion, presents a number of reasons to support the claim of Washington Territory for admission into the Union as a State. Ravages of the Drought Disease. Lyschbcro, Va., Nov. 2L The local papers iu the counties visited with the fatal scourge, make only brief mention of its ravages, but further information shows that former reports were not exaggerated. The Graysviile Times, Wise County, saya 150 deaths occurred in that county of the disease. It spreads over a considerable section, but is worst in Wise, Lee, Buchanan and Dickenson Counties. Il&ins have fallen there in the lat two days, and the foul water supply, which is supposed caused the trouble, has been replenished, and the disease is reported abating. Physicians describe it as an acute typhoid dysentery.

KEPÜBLICAN BARBARISM.

The Infamens Mobbing of Democrats at Selm a, Indiana The Lie Direct Given to the Charge that Jeff Davis Was Cheered or a Rebel Flag Unfurled. Epeci&l to the Sentinel. ' Mcucuc, Ind., Nov. 22. The Democrat of this city will next week publish the followidg statement, with the signatures of nearly all the Democrats wbo were mobbed by the Republicans of Selma and vicinity on the night of November 13 last. The mob was under the lead of one William Bailey, who was made "Captain" for the occasion. This man Baily is the Sunday-school Superintendent of the M. E. Church, and displayed bis Christian character by burling stones at his Democratic neghbors. It ia universally conceded on all sides that 8elma Republicanism is a disgrace to civilization and to the good name of Delaware County. The card speaks for itself and reads as follows: Selma, Delaware County, Iüd., Nov. 13, ISSi. To tbe Fabllc: It has been reported by a Bet of infamous Republican liars that the Democrats at their jollification meeting, held in this place on Thursday niht, November 13 last, indulged in cheers for Jeff Davis and paraded a Rebel flag. The same lying statement has found its way into the Republican newspapers of Muccie, tbe Indianapolis Journal, the Cincinnati Enquirer and other newspapers throughout the country. For the purpose of correcting this false report, we, the undersigned Democrats who were present and among the number mobbed by the Republican ruffians, brand these reports as "utterly and abominably false in every statement and in every implication." We desire to state farther that if any cheering for Jeff Davis was done or if a Rebel fla was carried, it was done by Republicans and charged to Democrats as an excuse for their cowardly and murderous conduct in mobbing ua for having peaceably assembled in their midst to ratify the election of Cleveland and Hendricks.

Tbe FederalJodge Changes Bis Tactics at the Bequest of a Partisan Attorney. Chicago, Nov. 2L The motion for an at tachment to compel County Clerk Ryan to produce the tally sheet and poll-book and ballots ot the Second Precinct of the Eighteenth Ward of this city, was argued in the Federal Court this morning. Allegation is made that the returns from that precln:t were tampered with in the Leman-Brand Senatorial contest, and the final determination of which will Bettle the question of a Republican or Democratic majority on joint ballot in the State Legislature. The attorneys for Ryan denied the jurisdiction of the Federal Court, but Judge Blodgett declared the ccirt clearly had jurisdiction, and directed the County Clerx to produce ballots, poll-book and tally sheets before the Grand Jury within one hour.. The Grand Jury in the meantime adjourned to 2 o'clock this afternoon. Before the Grand Jury re-convened, an attorney appeared before Judge Blodgett, saying he represented tbe candidate for the House of Representatives of the State Legislatme whose district included the disputed piecinct; that, according to the returns made, his client was defeated, but that he had hopes a recount of the ballots !n the regular election contest would thow his client elected, and. finally, that if the Federal Grand Jury were allowed to handle the ballots it would prejudice his client's contest. On this statement the Judge decided to bear further argument to-morrow, and ordered that in the meantime the Grand Jury ehonld cot have access to the ballots. County Clerk Ryan therefore appeared before that body at 2 o'clock with only the poll-book and tally-sheet, which were inspected by aa expert from the sub-treasury. The result of the inspection was cot made public A NOTABLE CA;E, The Bob of Chief Jostice Coleridge Sued by IJls ProspeetlTe Urother-ln-Law for Libel. L05D05, Not. 2L A noteworthy libel case was begun to day. Frank Man tell Adams, a London barrister, sues Bernard Coleridge, Bon of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge. Adams conducts his own caso. His opening epeech states that he was engaged to the daughter of Judge Coleridge. The Jadge objected to him as a son-in-law, and induced his sen Bernard to write a letter to his daughter, libelling him (Adams). The yonng lady turned the letter over to her betrothed. This led to her expulsion from her father's house and expunging her name from her father's will. The plaintiff is a wealthy man, well known in London society circles, and was until recently engaged to be married to Miss Mildred Mary Coleridge, the only daughter of Baron Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice of England. During this engagement Mr. Bernard J. 8. Coleridge, the eldest eon and heir of the Lord Justice, heard some terrible accoBations affecting the moral charactor of Mr. Adams. He investigated the charges and satisfied himself that they were true. Then he wrote a long letter to his eister, in which he denounced Mr. Adams as a libertine aad an objectionable person in many respects. He cited some facts to oar roborate his charges, and eaid that in regard to certain offenses, the details of which were too shocking to be communicated to ber, he would furnish such proofs as would be conclusive to the mind of their father if she were not already convinced that her lover was unworthy of her. Miss Coleridge at first refused to believe the accusations against Mr. Adams, and at his request she showed him her brother's letter. Mr. Adams asked to be allowed to keep the letter, and declared that he would be able to convince her and all cf her family that its allegations were false and that he bad been maligned and deeply injured. Miss Coleridge surrendered the letter to him, but be failed to refute the charges and the lady peremptorily broke off the eugacemect. The plea in defense is that the . letter was in the nature of a privileged communication, and was not in any senat a publication of tbe charges, whether true or false, such as would make defendant liable to

prosecution. If, however, he is required cr allowed to prove the truth of his charges he says he is thoroughly prepared to do so, and thus to show that he was justified in seeking to save a sister from a union which would be a life-long misery and disgrace. The scandalloving public eagerly hopes that Mr. Coleridge will be compelled to produce his evidence against Mr. Adams, as it is whispered that several men and women of high rank will be found icr.'icated.

THE VASSAK GIRLS. DTow the Blaine Gitla at Yassar Celebrated 1 Too PreTloosly. ForGHKiTPeii, N.v Y., Nov. 21. The banners of Cleveland and Hendricks and Blaine and Logan are still flaunted along the corridors of Vassar College. The girls of the college have bad a great time over politics. On the night before election they determined to have an election among themselves. The majority for Blaine was very large and included every one of the professors and teachers, who also voted. After the vote the Blaine party determined to have a parade. They brought out their candles from their rooms and formed a torchlight procession, which marched through the corridors of the college, cheering for Blaine and Logan. Some of the Cleveland girls attacked the procession as it moved along, throwing water on some of the girls. Next day being election day Blaine and Logan badges, red, white and blue neckties and ribbons and miniature flags were plenty, and in the evening the senior class got up another parade. As the lady principal had forbidden any more carrying of candles, the girls took umbrellas, and with them outspread and with each bearing the name of Blaine in large white letters, they marched through the college and shouted and cheered to their hearts' content. On the day after election the feeling was too feverish to allow much studying. The girls rushed pel'mell for the bulletin boards, and the college balls fairly rang as the dispatches favorable to Blaine were made known. In tbe evening the Blaine girls again obtained permission to parade and to display fireworks. At 8 p. m. the proce3sion paraded through the corridors singing and cheering. At the same hour Superintendent Van Vliet started the fireworks en the grounds. When the marching was over the procession was brought to a halt before the closed doors of the diningroom, where stood the President and lady Principal, who had provided oysters and crack era for them, and invited the teachers and other students to join. Now the Cleveland girls want to know when they can celebrate. PRESIDENT ELECT CLEVELAND. What Be Bas to Say In Regard to the Fears of the Colored People. Albakt, N. Y Nov. 20. Governor Cleveland was asked ly an Associated Press reporter to-day if he was aware of tbe delusion among the colored people of the South, that the change in the administration would unfavorably affect their condition. The Governor replied, Yes, I have been astonished' at the statement there wa3 an apprehension existing among the colored people that in some way their rights, now eecured to them under the laws and Constitution of the United States, were in danger from the election of a Democratio President. I am even told that some of them are led to suppose that the result of the receet election means that they may again be made Blares. All tili biopyewl to dm to be so absurd, and I have been so sure that the slightest iutellgent reflection would dislodge each foolish fears, that I hardly doem a notice of them necessary; but there is not the slightest objection to calling tbe attention of those who are in the least uneasy to the fact that the title of colored people to freedom and to all the rights of citizenship can not be disturbed except by a change in the Constitution, which it would be absolutely cecccessary to make. Besides, the present condition of the status of the colored people has been so folly accepted by the entire country, that no one should have the slightest idea that any attempt will be made to change it, if there was any possibility of accomplishing such a thing. 'So far as the new administration is related to this subject, the whole country can be sura that the lawful power and jurisdiction of executive will be so exercised that the rights of all citizens, white or black, under the Constitution or law will be preserved and protected, and all the advantages to which they are entitled by reason of their citizenship will be Be cured to them. There need be no fear that either the Democratic parly or its newly elected administration proposes to oppress or enslave any part of our population, nor to destroy the business interests of the country. We hope, on the other hand, to do fomethiEg to benefit tbe people. It seems to me that our efforts in that direction would be aided if mischievous, croaking and dark imaginings should give place to an earnest endeavor to inspire confidence and to make universal a cheerful hope for the future." The etatement that the President elect has engaged quarters at tbe Arlington or any other hotel In Washington is premature, at least. A SriKICUAl. MEDIUM.
