they are all for the continuance of the

tho lease system It brings In thou
Hands of dollars to school his children
and he Is solid for It As to Its effect
ou Northwest Texas ho Is perfectly In
dfilerent He has no Interest In that
part of the state nnd It may be treated

without disturbing his serenity He

tho lauds leased out In West Texas he
Is contented Something for nothing
Is a bargain that he Is enthusiastic lu

Democrats thu attempt will be made
to fasten this letse policy upon tho
Democrats of Texas to Identify that
party with thu system itnd when It
liecoiuen unbearably obnoxious to use

Thu lime Tor holding hoDemocratic
convention at Chicago for the purpose
or nominating uiudltlntes for provident
and vicepresident or tho United States
mil for preparing a platform upon
which the partys liopiH must stand or
fall draws near Speculations regard-
ing tho probable candidates nro the
most that can bo Indulged lu mid
they nro of such 11 character as to give
but llttlusatlsfactlon to those who have
the time or Inclination to consider
tlioiu It Is not probable in view of
the shortness oT the time between now
and tho ditto of tho convention thnt
iiintterswlll tike any new departure
or undergo any radleul change from
what they nro at present and the
chances are that tlto mtme difference of
opinion nud the same rivalry w hleh
now exist will meet tho delegates to
Chicago on their assembling there
Ho far ns tho preferences of the people
are concerned Tiltlen Is beyond all
doubt the favorite not only on account
of the record which ha hns made
as n statesman and a reformer
tint nlso and wo regret to have
to acknowledge It bectuse his
name lias become a household word
throughout tho country among tho
masses of tho people who lmvo never
heard of tiny other uimlltlnto This Is
mo chief feature of his strength ns It
was of Ornnts People do not tnko
kindly to new Hedged leaders who
prlug up inushroomllko nud at
tempt to lead They want to support
nnd rollow n man they know nt least
by nnme Whether or not Mr Tiltlen
will liiHlst upon bis decision being ac-
cepted us llnal In the event or tho
nomination being tendered him unani-
mously Is a question not lacking In
able advocates on both sides and ono
which will never be decided In nil
probability until nfter the conven
Hon hits done its work After Mr
Tiltlen come Daynrd anil Cluvdand
neck and neck Mr Itayard eujoys
tho advantage or being older In the
cause and consequently better known
than Mr Clovclaud Moreover it
will doubtkHs bo admitted by even
Mr Clevelands wnrnttst friends that
tho Delaware
statesman
possesses
more experience nnd more ability than
the young giant of tho pivotal state
Ho Is ti man In all respects the
intellectual peer or any man
lu tho Uuion and his purity
of character Is nt once n tower of
strength aud tho admiration of tho
wholo country Unfortunately ho Is
from n state which Is nu unimportant
factor in Democratic polities and as
Now York is looked upon and gener-
ally conceded to be Jjis > vchler Demo-
cratic HtroughoUT tho
selection or a
candidate who will concentrate all op
poklng factions ami curry tho state by
an assured majority Is of paramount
Importance Whether this can bo
round lit Mr Clove laud or not Is at
preseut very doubtful It is not likely
that tho adherents of Mr Flower will
give an opXMlng candidate from New
Vork n very enthusiastic support The
largo organUstlons of laboring men
have already come out plain In then
united opposition to Mr Cleveland
and by the tone of Mr Kellyg
paper
aud ftom his own public utterances it
Is not dllUcult to discern that Tam-
many will oppose hliu or tacitly
witness his defeat It may be said
that the Independents of Xew York
area force sutllclent to compensate for
any loss which the Democratic 110ml
uee might sustain by reason of the dU
atlectlon of tho Democrats and It Is
known that they favor Mr Cleve
lands candidacy To depend on Indo
peudeut llepubllcaus who break away
from tbelrown party Is as risky apiece
orbuslnesaas depending on sorehead
Democrats It Is therefore worth con
Blderlng whether or not It would
be better for thoDjmocraU to noml
Hate a ruan outside of New
who would be removed from all local
blckcrlngaud dissensions and who
could go before the
country as a Dmo

Kellr Tammany and Bajard
Tho outspoken declaration of the
New York Star the Tammany organ
lu refcrchco to tho unavailability of
Gov Cleveland ns n Democratic nomi
nee Is hut the echo of John Kellys
frank declaration that the tidalwave
governor is not the man to carry New
York It is or no iio to Inveigh
against Kelly Tammany or the Star
They hold tbeb lauceot power In Now
York and while It Isasured that they
will support Cleveland If nominated
their opinion Is certainly entitled to
respectful consideration They de-
clare Cleveland Is not available and
that they would prerer to see some ono
else nominated They show that even
with till that Is snid of the tidal
wave lie did not poll within liOOOO
votes of tho strength or his party that
213000 Republicans who voted far Gar-
field lu 1SS0 remained at home In 1SS12
when Kolger was the gubernatorial
nominee and thus It came about thnt
Cleveland while falling to command
his parly vote et polled the vi9t mn
Jorlty Theso arguments will have
their weight at Chicago nnd they bode
no good for Cleveland Kelly Is not
dictating but reasoning nud with
powerful logic Cleveland Is New
Yorks leading Democrat and IT ho Is
putnsltlo what then The mind turns
Irresistibly to Daynrd its tho solution
ot the problem Tammany will vote
forClevelnud It will not only votefor
Uiyard but work for him Tamma
nys poiltlon as a makowelght in na-
tional politics may be Irritating to
Democrats but It is n living ract that
may not be Ignored The national
convention will listen to Kellys rea-
soning and all the signs point to the
Delaware senator ns tho outcome
Disadvantages of Big Maj oritios
Hero Is one circumstance to bo noted
nbotit the political talk of party malin-
gers those sttttes where tho opposing
vote is so closely balanced as to liiyest
tho election with the greatest uncer-
tainty ure tho ones which monopolize
tho attention of party lenders Tho
effect which the nomination of tills or
that candidato will have on New York
anil Indiana Connecticut mid New
Jersey Is considerately discussed and
every ellort made to select it candidate
who shall bo entirely pleasing to the
sovereigns or those states The result
is practically to submit tho choice or
a candidate to the delegates or those
states Indeed tho proposition more
than onco has been seriously advanced
that nt Chicago the delegates or the
doubtful states should ugreo upon
soiiio acceptable Democrat and the
representatives from tho other states
should ratify their choice by making
him the candidate of the party The
suggestion has not it Is true had any
senalblo support as It Involves the
prlnclplo of a majority submitting to a
minority but that It ever was made at
all shows tho respect paid to tho people
of a doubt ul state
lien Duller as a Democratic presiden-
tial nominee Is a posslblblty which is
growing in discussion throughout tho
North Ills strength ainoug a certain
class ot votors Is not despicable and
that stretiglUbi fi 5 ially weighty In
those particular stales upon the carry
ing of which Democratic success de
pends Dialer s candidacy has been
looked upon hero In the South ns
burlesque but they do not so regard it
in the North His war record Is not
as obuoxious to tho Democrats or
Massachusetts Connecticut or New
York as to tho Democrats or Loulslaiia
and Texas Tho very things that lu
lUnied publlo reeling In tho South
against ltutler gave him nuno and
streiiRth In the North This different
state or feeling In tho two sections Is
the secret or what is so unaccountable
to tlto Southern people that sensible
Democrats talk of his prospects as
something more sorlous than a Joke
It Is Indisputable thnt Duller would
get ns many regular Democratic votes
in New York Now Jersey and Con
neetlcut asauy other caudldate of that
party while his peculiar strength
among the labor organizations woultl
glvohlm many votes that no other
nmu could get The knowledge or
this ract causes him to bo considered
among Northern politicians as one of
the possibilities or tho coming convou
Tbu iVS >
Such a nomination would meot
nothing but tho fiercest hostility in
the South Tho Northern managers
know this but they do not regard It as-
a matter worthy to bo considered in
estimating tho chances of his election
Such overwhelming majorities lu the
Southern states have given politicians
couildeuce that the South Is safe for
the Democratic nominee whoever or
whatever he may be A defection to
Bomecxtentinaybe counted on they
argue but the Deuiocratlo majorities
aro so largo that thousands of votes
may be withheld and yet not endan
K r the success ortho tlckot In Texas
the Democrats could afford to lose 70
OOO votes aud yet carry the sUto by n
aoro margin In Georgia ad Missouri
they could throw away 40000 or BO 000
aud hold tbo o slates
This Is the real causo or the disre
gard paid to tho South in nudclne un a
Presidential ticket Our ii major
big
ties have caused politicians to tliluk
that the 153 electoral vote of tho
Solid South are safely t6 be counted
ou for any Democratic candidate l er
hapt they are right tho Incident of
Greeley In 1S72 nt least gives them
grouud for taking this view or the
matter We do not say that thcro is
great probability or Dutlcrs nomina-
tion but if he was thought lo bo the
strongest man In the doubtful states ho
certainly would be nominated without
regard to the Sauths protest
Dig majorities aro not an unmixed
bleeslnir Tlto South has not asked
Tor a caudldate or her first cholco but
our people doubtless will not wel-
come the candidacy or a man more de-
testable than any that could be named
It would not ben bad thing to have
enough opposition votes to make some
or the Southern states at least debata-
ble ground and compel politicians to
take them iuto account in making up
tho ticket
Railroad to Waxahachie
Our people nre becoming Interested
in n railroad to Waxahachie and a
Utile timely agitation or tho matter
will create a good feeling here In be-
half of such nn enterprise Aside
from the fnct that such a road would
give Fort Worth connection by direct
mid short line with the entire Hunt-
ington system of roads with their
ramifying branches to tho South nud
East is tho importance of thu local
trade that It would draw to this city

the richest It has n large population

todo farmers whoso cotton ship-
ments should bo handled In
Fort Worth Waxahachie the

county Is one ol the most substantial
and prnmisim towns In North Texns
uud one whoso trade Is worth making
1111 effort to get For want of adequate
railway connection tho entire business
of tho town is commanded by Dallas
and Fort Worth Is much more advan-
tageously situated to control this whole
sale trad If a railroad gave us access
to Waxahachie The benefits to that
place or such a roatl would be greater
even than to Fort Worth ns It would
give her merchants competing lines to
market nntl a shottor route to the

and Fort Worth work together with
the assistance ot intermediate towns
they can get this road

Parties In Ka > t Texas Uo not understand It
Wo only auk what has atnays been recog-
nized na right J p Uiioom
Sonto weeks ago Tm GAZirrn an
swered this question very explicitly
aud fully It was stated then in
these columns that free grass simply
means that all unlncloacd hinds public
nud private shall bo free lo tho cattle
and horses and other stock of every-
man We are not nblo to state It
ntoro clearly now Tin Gazihtus
Idea or free grass Is that all grass shall
befreetonuy stocK grazing thereon
uutil the land Is sold to actual settlers
when they may Inclose their land and
exclude loose stock Just ns Is dono to-
day and has been done ulways In Fist
Texas When the land Is taken up and
feuccd by the rightful owner let the
law then protect him in all his rights
of citizenship and sec that his fences
are not cut mid his land not intruded
upou But no man shall inclose
publlo lands to which he has
not n right by purchase ns an
actual settler In a word Tub
Gazkttk tusks that the lease lawshall
bo repealed and tho state shall adopt
the suite policy toward its lands todav
as It had In the past which has proven
to bo so beneficial to the people aud
Interests or tht state This wo take
It Is what Mr Groon means when ho
says wo only ask what has always
been recognized ns right
Tub Gazette will add what free
grass does not mean It does not mean
that one class of citizens shall have
the use of the public lands to tho ex-
clusion of another It does not mean
that a man shall have the right to ap
propriate to his own use Immense
ranges ot territory to the exclusion of
others It docs not mean that the
country Is to be partitioned between
syndicates of foreign capitalists nud
tied up for a long term of years ex-
cluding by wire fences tho intruding
settler nnd keeping the entire West a
perpetual waste It does not mean
this but It does menu simply and
solely West Texas for actual settlers
and the encouragement of agricultural
development If there Is auythln

To tho IMltorof tho Oaretle
I hnvo only been out here three
mouths I came from Eastern Texas
I urn free to admit that I knew noth
ing about the policy of leasing public
lauds uutil I came here I have been
u subscriber to The Gazbttb and I
have been un observer ou my own nc
count Let me tell you now you are
more thau right Free grass is u roy-
alty or the American citizen the lease
system Is 11 bastard or the bullloniiires
Ir you could only ee Its effects out
here how the small cattlemen are rap
idly selling out to companies
how their rights nre trampled
upon In the rouuduns how nil the
available land for settlement Is being
covered with leases by wealthy syndi-
cates who under n contract with the
state will have exclusive control for
years ntonly of tho leased premises
but of tho dry lands contiguous you
would wish you had the power or
Brutus who were ho Antony
Would stir the walls or Jlome to rise
and mutiny
A more nefarious scheme was never
put upou the people of the state Hack
in the years gono by did my father or
yours think about 0 royalty on the
commons A barefoot boy I waded in
the free grass of Lamar county many
a time knee high to gather my lathers
cattle and horses twenty yearn ago
about tho old homes of Travis and
George Wright worthy veterans now
lu their graves nud never dreamed
about a price being put upon tho sage
grass that tangled my footsteps
Who answers your argument that
the right of eminent domain hns only
been exercised in tho United States
and Texas mitl the United Slates has
never claimed a royalty oil her
free gra Your opponents will be
driven to mediieval or baronial
times to furnish an analogy They
dont answer you You ask for brtnil
nnd they give you a stone Its tho
trick of a politician or demagogue mid
would be ridiculous were It not for the
Pharisaical cry of the childrens
grass No demand hns ever been
made upon tho hearts or purses of
Texatis for tho education of her
children but they responded promptly
I um afraid that lom before this law
can bo repealed thu cholco school lauds
of the stnto will be takeu up by leases
rroni settlement mid nt tho best
the most available watered
lands will be nud too late the people
will understand tho trick practiced
upon them that shuts up their school
lands Irom settlement nnd tor an In
dellnlte period created baronies in tho
West Already the tide or immigra
tion lias ceased Vast pastures sur
round us on every side Small cattle
men aroselllng nut nnd Hesters aro
welcoming no more neighbors The
price of private lands in stnnll quanti
ties has rapidly decreased and tnti end
Is not yet By the first or
January lfaSS tho companies will
have closed out ull Individual owners
I hey nre for sale now and nil valuable
school land watered will be leased
aud thus a Chinese wall arrayed
against settlement Thank you for
youruoblo Assertion of the truth It
needs just buclvyotith aud growth and
enterprise as yours to wake the slum
bering masses of Texas to nu apprecia
tion of the truth aud Northwest Texas
backs you From every canyon aud
brake every valley autl plalu her hon
est yeomanry claim the rights their
fathers hud ami for which some of
their fathers died and they claim a
part and parcel In the gallant
young paper which so nobly espouses
their cause Long may you wave
But a rew weeks airo free grass was
n spot on tho horizon its
now n dan
gerouslooking thundercloud It Is
charged with gentle showers ir justice
