ANTI-LEAsB LAW SPEECH.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
ARLINGTON, TEX, Oct. 2.-The citi-
zens of Arlington and vicinity met at
Collins hall on Saturday night,
the 30th inst, to hear the views of Mr..
Pendleton on the issues of state policy
that would come up before the next
legislature. Mr.. Pendleton's speech
throughout was logical, concise, COM
prehensive and eminently conserva-
tive. His position upon the lease law
was ably and well defined. He showed
that the present lease law in its opera
ton is retarding the settlement of our
frontier. He showed the law was de-
parture from the former policy of the
state where inducements were offered
by giving lands, under which policy
our state increased in wealth and pop
ulation as no other state had ever done
before. He showed conclusively to
every fair minded man that corpora
tions and syndicates were the princi-
pal beneficiaries of the lease law, and
that 1t was in every respect detrl-
mental to the interest Of the settler
and the small stockmen.
Mr.. Pendleton advised every Demo-
crat to do his duty as Democrat and
to vote the state ticket. His speech
was well received and frequently
cheered.

We predict for the Democratic pres.
idential ticket growing boom from
this time until the election. There
has been very little powder spent by
the Democratic campaign committees
80 far, while the Republicans have
used their ammunition unsparinely.
Now the Democrats are going to work.
Good authority reports that Gov. Sey-
mour Is to go to Ohio and speak for
Cleveland, and Gov. Tilden is prepar.
lug an address in his behalf that viii
be issued about the same time, calling
upon the country TO support him as i
thoroughly honest and capable man.
The simultaneous appearance OF these
two venerable sages upon the stage OF
thought and action will be the signal
for an outburst Of Democratic enthusI.
asnl that win overwhelm the Republl.

READING the Republican papers and
accepting the truth of their reports,
one would conclude that there is an
immense population along the route of
the Blaine hippodrome. AT Buffalo, a
city of 10000 population, we are asked
to believe that 100000 people, or two
thirds of all the inhabitants, includ-
ing the sick, the lame and decrepit, in
fants and all, turned out and tumbled
over each other in mad rush TO have
the satisfaction of gazing on the great
Tattooed Man. AS If this tax ON our
credulity were not enough, it Ia re-
ported that at Cleveland, which in
1880 had but l55. 900 population, 2OO,-
600 persons turned out to do honor to
the hippodrome, A distrustful public
cannot keep down the suspicion that
our old acquaintance, Joe Mulhatton,
is doing the press reports for the hip.
podrome.

AS WAS to have been expected, John
Roach is on hand at the session Of the
South American commissioners, urg-

steamships to carry on trade. Roach

naturally he favors the building OF
ships, as that will give him chance

IN no business in Texas is the COM
petition so sharp as among newspapers.
In too many instances this competition
leads to personalities unworthy OF
journalism. The latestinstance of this
reprehensible personal warfare Is found
in the Dallas Times, which calls
o'Rory o'Moore of the Galveston
News an Irish Protestant Republican.
The Times is Turkish Mahommedan
Prohibitionist, and we may now expect
violent dispute between the organ OF
deep water and the Dallas pill.

CIV nlausland at Hnme


Gov. Cleveland's visit to Buffalo was
not in the nature of political pilgrim
age, such as was Mr.. Blaine's journey
from Maine TO Ohio. Buffalo Is the
home of Gov. Cleveland, where, as he
said in his speech Thursday, he has
lived as citizen for thirty years, ris-
ing from the unknown, unnoticed law
yer's clerk to be the governor of his
state and the choice of a great political
organization for president of the United
States. 1t is fitting and well chosen
that he should pay formal visit to
this scene of his tolls and triumphs
and receive the congratulation and APP
plause of his neighbors.
The journey from Albany to Buffalo
was triumphal progress, and his re-
ception at home an ovation which a
popular idol may well feel proud Of
In spite of the anger of the elements,
the splendor and enthusiasm of his re.
ception eelipsed Blaine's visit to Buff
falo week ago and quite threw in the
shade the boom of the Tattooed Man
After remaining day in his former
home, receiving tokens of esteem from
his whllom friends and admirers, Gov
Cleveland will return to the state cap
ital. there to remain in the discharg,
of his duties until the nation calls hin
to higher service, the chief magis
tracy of the United State.

THE election in Georgia of course
signifies nothing by the vote Of that
state cast last Tuesday, as there was
but one ticket in the field. The Re
publican party is totally without or
ganilation, almost without existence
in Georgia, and there was nothing TO
draw out full vote. The total vote OF
the state in 1850 was 1865, l7O, and Han
cocks majority 1854. In 1882 Alex
ander Stephens, for governor, had a
majority of 82,357 in a total vote OF
49,, lao. Cleveland's majority this
year will reach Tilden's in 1915, which
was within fraction of $4,000.

AUSTIN, Ten, Oct. 3.-Wash Jones
addressed an audience of about three
thousand people tonight in front OF
the temporary capitol. A long torch
light procession proceeded him up the
avenue to the stand. He declared that
the issue upon which the old parties
were founded had passed away and
That new Issues demanded re-adJust-
ment of party lines. ne took strong
ground against the leasing system as
tending to foster and build up mOnop-
oily and prevent the distribution of the
school lands in homestead, and severe
ly criticized the passage Of herd law
for the public lands, declaring that all
that was necessary TO give Texas
complete herd law was
the extension of the provisions of that
bill to include private lands. He pro.
posed TO sell the lands to settlers as
cheap as they had been sold to syndi-
dictates; fifty cents an acre, and on
long time, and would devote the pro-
| ceeds to the education of the present
generation because dollar for educa-
ton now was a million dollars three
hundred years hence. Col Jones at.
tackled the system of purchasing
county bonds with the school fund
and said that would result in the loss
of the greater portion of the entire
fund. His speech was very well re-

Jim Wood. Ifany man In the crowd
could tell where he stood on the land
policy, or with reference TO the school
system, or any other, your reporter
has not found him. The fact Is, hav-
ing no fixed position he does not know
himself.
The following, published by the
Terrell Times as part of his speech at
Elmo a couple weeks ago, is fair
representation OF his speech last night:
AS to the question of public domain, am
opposed to the state being divided; that's
right where stand; because II we divide
Texas we will lose the school lands.
am in favor of perpetuating the free
schools in Texas. This school question is no
new thing to me: when was a hoy in North
Carolina the question was agitatedi but |
have never heard whether they got the school
or not, In Mississippi, where lived for fif-
teen years, the question was agitated, and 1
have been In Texas twenty-Heven years, so
you see ! am acquainted with this question.
l am In favor OF the lease law, but want to
regulate IL. ] am opposed to any of the
school lands ever being sold, for they Will
steal the money and then we won't have
any school In Tennessee they sold their
lands and got the money,and when Brownlow
asked where IL was, II was stolen. When we
lease watered sections we must make them
take dry land with It, 1 am n farmer, and
am mighty friend TO the poor man, and
think the school land ought TO be leased out
to the poor man; leased to him in fee simple,
30 long as he shall live, and then TO his chill
dren after bin, and am in favor OF charging
him only the taxes on the land, and as long
as he pays the taxes let him have the land.
This will keep down stealing, and we will
have schools of the taxes, There is no other
way TO my mind to fix IL, without getting the
money stolen.
When he was through Hon. Mr..
Wood took the stand and entertained
the crowd for about an hour with a
clear presentation of the issues in
which we are most directly interested.
On the question of "free grass" we I'M
derstand him to be opposed to corpora
tons becoming the owners of public or
school land, vet he supports the lease
lag.
The people of Kaufman county will
not be found going back on the stand

tions, in the support of renegades and
