A REPORT in Albany says that Grov -
er Cleveland will resign his position
as Governor of New York on the first
of January, 1885, so that Lieutenant
Governor Hill can enter his office sim
ultaneously with the organization of
the legislature. This would give
Clevclaod two months, time to prepare
himself for the great work which a
waits him at Washington. It would
certainly be an advantageous arrange
ment.
THE different cabinet makers, who
ever since the election are busy to
save Cleveland the trouble of making
his own cabinet should pay attention
to tbe remarks of Cleveland in an in
terview with a newspaper reporter :
"If I would let these fellows do as
they pleased, there would be no work
left for me at Washington. However
they may continue to amuse them
selves, and when my time comes I
will do what seems best to me. 1 '
CONKLING, for all he did not make a
single speech against Blaine, proved
himself a terrible enemy to that gen
tleman. The stalwart bolt originated
in Conkling's own* county [Oneida]
and was sufficient to turn said county
against the Plumed Knight. In 18S0
Oneida county gave Garfield a plurali
ty of 1964, while in 1884 it gave a
plurality of 28 for Cleveland.
Conkling returned thecompliment of
having been turned the cold shoulder
under the Garfield administration.
For Solid Prosperity.
Policy of the Coming National Ad
ministration on Business
Interests.
BOSTON, NOV. 23.—1n the course of
an interview with a representative of
the Boston Globe yesterday President
Cleveland, in speaking of the business
aid manufacturing interests of the
country and effect of a change in the
administration 011 those interests,said :
"It goes without saying that the demo
cratic party is made up of merchants,
business and workiugmen, and every
body in it certainly desires good times
and realizes that all the people must be
piospercus to insure the result. We
have 55,000,000 of people,almost bound
less resources, hundreds of the strong
est financial institutions in the world,
thousands of enterprising merchants,
the most skillful manufacturers and
the most intelligent farmers and work
ingmen 011 the face of the earth. Now,
surely a couutry with these character
istics has every qualification for a solid,
permanent prosperity. It will be my
aim, and the aim of all associated with
me in the conduct of affairs at Wash
ington, to give the people of the United
States a safe, economical and conserva
tive government. Toe fact that so
m my business m *n and manufacturers
and workingmen voted with the demo
cratic party in tins election shows that
they were not afraid of a change in the
administration. The dem icratic party
in its Chicago platform meant what it
said and said what it meant, and will
carry the provisions of that p!a< form
which relate to th ■ business interests
of the country into effect. The in >st
important thing is the restoration of
confidence and the determination to
forget partisan heat and excitement
and to devote our lives to the things
which tend to the substantial welfare
ef the country and all of its people. In
this work every in vn should feel that
he has a part to perform."
THE COLORED PEOPLE
President - Elect Cleveland's
Reasons and Sensible Words
He Deplores the Efforts to Frighten

chievous Croakings and
Dark Imaginings to
End.
ALBANY, NOV. 20.— Goyernor Cleve.
land was asked by an Associate Press
reporter to-day if lie was aware of the
delusion existing among the colored
people of the bout.h that a change in
the administration would unfavorably
affect their condition, to which here
plied :
tk Yes, I have been astonished at the
statement tlrat there was an apprehen
sion existing among the chlored people
that in some way their rights, now se
cured to them under the laws and con
stitution of the United States, were in
danger from the election of a democrat
ic president. I am even told that
some of them are led to suppose the re
sult of the recent election means th-'t
they may again be made slaves. All of
this has appeared to me to be so absurd,
and I have lxen so/wi'P that the slight
est intelligent reflection would dislodge
,euch foolish fears, that I can hardly
deem any' oolite of tbeui owocsary.
"But there is not the slightest objec
tion to calling the attent on of all who
are in the least uneasy or uncertain
upon this subject, to the fact that the
title of the colored people to freedom
and all the rights of citizenship cannot
be disturbed except by a change in the
constitution, which it would be imposs
ible tu make. Besides, the present
condition or status of these people has
been so fully 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.
"80 far as the new administration is
related to this subject, the country can
be sure that the lawful power and ju
risdiction of the executive, will be so
exercised that the lights of all citizens,
white or black, under the constitution
of laws, will be preserved and protect
ed, and all the advantages to which
they are entitled, by reason of their
citizenship, will be secured to them.
"There need be 110 fear that either
the democratic party or the newly elect
ed administration proposes to oppuss
or enslave any part ol our population,
nor to destroy tlie business interests of
the country. We hope, 011 the other
hand, to do something to benefit the
people. It seems to uio that our efforts
in that direction would be aided it mis
chievous croakiugs and dark imagin
ings should give place to an earnest en
deavor to inspire confidence and to
make universal a cheerful hope for the
future."

A Postal Telegraph.
la view of the power shown by Jay
Gould over the Western Union Tele
graph Company and the Associate
Press, and the manifest disposition 011
his part to use it in behalf of his favor
ite Presidential candidate, the follow
ing utterance of Senator Windom, uf
Minnesota, just before his appointment
to be Secretary of the Treasury, is ex
ceedingly apropos :
1 The channels of thought and the
channels of commerce thus owned and
controlled by one man,or by a few men,
what is to restrain corporate power 'i
What is then to hinder these men fioin
depressing or inflating the value of all
kinds of property t-> suit their caprice
or avarice, and thereby gathering into
their own coffers the vveaith of the na
tion ? Whe 10 is the limit to such a
power as this ? What slull he said of
the Spirit of a free people who will sub
mit without a protest 10 be thus bound
hand and foot ?"
With a postal telegraph ou the plan
proposed to the last Congress by Con
gressman Sumner, of California, and
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont.coupled
with a Civil Service system which
would place the tenure of office be3ond
partisan control, such a danger as that
above noted would be obviated. Re
ferring tti the existing situation, the
X. Y. Times says :
"For tin past forty-eight hours Mr.
Ja> Gould has teen using the Western
Union Telegraph to spread abroad
through the United Mates false inhu
mation as to the result of the election
in the State o f New York. The proof
of this is well known to every intelli
gent journalist in New York. Mr .
Gould did the snuo thing in October
with reference to the election in O.iio,
when not one specific statement capa
ble of yeriticat ion or exposure was al
lowed to pass over the Western Union
wires for more than thirty hours, and
when the statements that were sent
wert shown within two days to be con
spicuously and intentionally false. As
to tlie vote of New York the plot has
been nea ly identical and has been car
ried out with more persistence. The
returns have been sent out in lumps of
'election districts,' wnicli are not nam
ed and cannot be indeutitied, and the
publication of these lias been made in
amounts and at times to suit the
schemers. Occasional prouuuciameu
tos from tiie Blaine Committee have
shown that returns from comparatively
remote points have been used promptly,
while those from points within an
hour's ride of the Western Union
Building have been held bacl<. * * *
Mr. Jay Gould's performanc for the
past forty-eight hoprs have made a
Government Postal Telegraph a necess
ity in this country "
Electricity is the quickest, and there
to e the most valuable, means of con
veying intelligence. Tiie people of the
United States paid for constructing the
first line of te'egraph for Prof Morse
between Baltimore and Washington
thereby demonstrating the feasibility
of using electricity to convey intelli
gence. Inst&id of adding it to our post
al system it was allow r ed to pass into
the hands of corporations, which have
used it? as a qjwup of taxing the people
rather than to give them its service at
the lowest practicable cost. If it had
developed with our postal system, ex
perts estimate that, we would now be
sending messages at a cent per word
through the length and breadth of the
United States. Does any one suppose
tl*at if our present postal system had
been run for corporate profit rather
than for public ben.fit that postal
would have been reduced from a shill
ing per letter to two cents ? As re
gards the integrity of management, it
must be placed somewhere, and does
any one suppose that it would not be
safer in the hands of the Boat Oltlee
Department, dir* ctly responsible to the
people, than in the hands of u corpor
ation responsible to no one ? Republi
cans like Senator Edmunds and Demo
crats like Congressman Sumner, of
California, think Unit it would be safer
in the hands of the people, a; it is in
all other countries of the world.
AVERAGE CITIZEN.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
F oni our Regular Correspondent
WASHING rox,I). C., N0v.20. 1584
It is scarcely to tie supposed after the
clean sweep that the Demociats have
made in the election, that they should
leave the Augean stable at Washing
ton unattented to. Vet it might be
well enough to let the poor fellows
down easily by holding out the promise
that they may possibly get in again
some time under the Civil Service rules
the enforcement of which tie new
President seems to have a special de
sire. A geod many of the clerks here
who have been on the Government pay
rolls for a number of years, have ae
quistd and paid for their homes, while
there are other thousands who have
purchased homes without paying for
them, except in part. With these last
the general bounce from official posit
ion w ill not be much of a hardship, be
cause their payments have not more
than covered the amount they would
ordinarily have paid for rent.
About one-fourth of the population
of Washington is made up of Govern
ment clerks and employes in various
capacities, aifl the elimination of such
a horde even in the slow process of fill
ing their places,will have a un>st in irk
ed effect upon the city and its business.
The political) guillotine must l*e as it
ought to be, set up at once and kept in
operation until the change of adminis
tration shall be thorough and complete.
I suppose that nobody in olliee here
knows, and few care, about what the
country owned before the outbreak of
the rebt llion, hut there are yet a few
of the old Government creditors left
who for all the long years since 1828,
whet' Jackson became President, have
held on to their Government securities
through evil and through good report.
Here the other day ageutleman walked
into the Treasury Department and told
an official that he was from a New
England town, and as the administra
tor of his father's estate had unearthed
some old bonds which he supposed
were worthless. Upon producing them
musty and yellowed by age, it was
found that thty were indeed some of
the old Government bonds which ceas
ed to bear interest in 1836. The face
value was $50,000 and the interest a
mounted to a little more than $20,000,
and the gentleman left the Treasury
with a matter of $70,000, which a few
days before he hid offered to a local
bank for $5,000 ! The patriotic old
fellow who had hoarded the bonds,
knowing that interest had ceased fifty
years ago, and who had not called upon
the Gouernnient to pay when it was in
trouble , is deserving of more than a
passing recognition, for I believe he is
the only one who has eyer truste d his
country so long. PHONO.
Correc(ed
Miss Anna Johnson, of 24 Front street,
Columbus, Ohio, says: 44 I suffered from
an aggravated form of constipation and
indigestion for several months. My fam
ily physician tried all kinds of medicines
and pills, but to no effect. I began to think
my case was a hopeless one. A friend of
mine (Mrs. Elvira Redmond,of East Long
street, this city), called,and seeing the con
dition I was in, recommended me to try
your MANALIN. I must say I had but little
faith in the medicine, but after I had taken
a few doses I was convinced that MANA
LIN was the medicine for me. After I
had taken one bottle I was entirely well
of my complaint. I consider it one of the
best remedies forconstipation I have ever
used. I have several friends who are us
ing it. They think it an excellent remedy.
I recommend it to all who are afflicted
with constipation or indigestion. Any
one doubting this statement is invited to
Call on me at 24 Front street."
Mr. Milton Knotts, Urbana, 0., writes:
I 44 Last November one year ago I was tak
en sick, and called in our family physician.
He examined me and said I had symp
toms of typhoid fever. He gave me
medicine for two weeks or more with
outany relief. I began to think that my
days on earth were fast closing in. I
saw at once that his medicine would
not reach my disease. Just as I was about
to conclude that I would have to die, my
daughter brought me one of your pamph
lets. I noticed a cae whose symptoms
were like mine, and PERUNA and MANA
LIN had cured him. I concluded at once
to try it. I procured one bottle of PERU
NA and one of MANALIN, and took them
as directed, and before I had used the two
bottles I began to receive strength and
gain in flesh. I finished the rest of the
two bottles and continued its use until
the third bottle was used, When they
were used I could eat anything I wanted
to and go about my work. I consider
that if it hadn't been for your PERUNA I
would have been in my grave. Parties
wishing information can write me at the
above place. I recommend your medi
cine wherever I go,"
Mr. John R. Davie, Moundsville, W.
Va., writes: 44 1 have been handling
your PERUNA ever since its introduction.
All who have used it speak highly of its
curative properties. I consider it a reli
able remedy."
Mr. George Fisher, Portsmouth, 0.,
writes : 44 1 ara handling your PERUNA,
