DEMOCRACY--NOT ONE MAN WILL

Additional light is she'd upon this
newspapers regarding necessity to
conciliate New York, the pivotal
state" 1t is told that Mr.. Tilden car
fies the electoral vote of New Y ork in
his pantaloons pockets, but he seems to
know he cannot secure the support
from other states necessary to make
himself the presidential nominee. He
decided, it has been asserted, in favor of
Mr.. Mcdonald, but Watterson has run
his boom down to absolutely nothing
The late success of Mr.. Payne, in
Ohio, has opened the way for new
candidacy. Money bags naturally
gravitate towards money bags, and
Mr.. Tilden says he has confidence in
Payne, and is willing to give him the
vote of New York. From this it
may be presumed he did not have
confidence in Gen. Hancock, and
therefore did not give him the vote of
New York. Let all this be as it
may, Mr.. Payne will not be
the Democratic nominee. He
will never wheel into such
position on the vote of the
pivotal state, no matter how easily Mr..
Tilden whirls the whole, machine on
its pivot. 1t is vel )ell- to have
nominee that may carry New York,
but to name one on the ipse diXit of
Samuel J.Tilden is degree of personal
ism that would be apt to, and ought to,
break the back bone of Democracy.
Democracy is no one-man power in any
sence, and any political move shaped by
one man would be something besides
Democracy. New York cannot be
carried by Mr.. Tilded without the aid
of John Kelly, and when these two
combine in an honest purpose for the
exaltation of genuine Democracy the
millennium will be at hand. Tilden's
mastery inactivity and Kelly's nasty
activity gave the state to Gar
field in 1880, and gave is again last
year to the Republicans. In 1879 John
Kelly bolted from the regular Dem
ocracy and ran as an independent can
didate for governor, with the deliber-
ate Intent of overthrowing the reg
ular Democratic candidate. Kelly
still has at his back the solid Tam
many vote, and he will dump
that vote where it will do
Kelly most good. Such is
the pivotal state with Mr.. Tilden
Justify working it on the swing. If
Democracy devote itself to trimming
issues, and, selecting men to suit Mr..
TildeD, who, with all his boasted
power, is dependent upon John
Kelly, its degradation will no doubt
be as complete as it is merited. The
Democracy should leave New York
out of the count. Indeed, it is unnec-
essary to give any heed to the present
political aspect of the different states.
Nominating as their candidate a
Democrat of high character and good
record, and placing him on a fighting
platform of "a tariff for revenue
only" and economy in expenditures,
the Democracy will deserve to win;
and win they will. Dependence on
New York means Difference to the
will of imbecility and confidence in
the political virtue of John Kelly.
A political party which, after long
experience, knows no better than to
take such a risk is not likely to be
promoted to larger sphere OF politi-
cal usefulness.

BETwEE.; 1851 ;,nl 1874 192,O8l, ,155
of acres were granted by Congress to
railroad companies. This, at So an
acre, would represent the enormous
sum of 1886, ,243.463. Many of these
railroads have made little or no effort
to carry out the provisions which
must be carried out before their claim
to the land is made perfect, and the
Holman resolution is intended to
reach these cases. The corporations
are said to have no hope of influence
ing the House, and will depend upon
the Senate. Such land grants as have
not been earned ought to be forfeited.
By earned is meant those cases in
which lands are held under grants not
complied with-where railways have
not been built along the lines, to
secure which land donations were
made.

When the maple turns to crimson.
And the SaSSafraS to gold;
When the gentian'S in the meadow,
And the aSter on the void;
When the noon is Tapped in vapOr,
And the night is frosty cold;
When the chestnut burrS are opened,
And the arorDs drop like hail,
And the dTOwSy air is startled.
With the humping of the fail
With the drumming of the partridge,
And the whistle of the quail;
Through the rustling woods wander.
Through the Jewels OF the year,
From the yellow uplandS cali ng,
Seeking her who is still dear:
She is near me in the autumn,
She, The beautiful, is near.
Through the smoke of burning summer,
When the weary winds are still,
can see her in the valley.
can hear her on the hills.
In the SplendOr OF the woodlands,
In the whisper OF the rili.
For the shores of earth and heaven
Meet, and ming'e in the blue;
She can wander down the glory
To the places that she knew,
Where the happy lovers wandered,
In the days when life was true.
So think when days are sweetest,
And the world is wholly fair,
She may sometimes steal upon me
Through the dimnesS of the air,
With the cross upon her bosom,
And the amaranth i'll her hair.
Once to meet her, ah! to meet her,
And to hold her gently fast
Till blessed her, till she blessed me
That were happiness at last:
That were bliss beyond our meetings,
In the Autumn OF the past!

THE dodge now is to legislate in
favor of school lands. and to let pri-
vate land interests take care of them
selves-a narrow minded conception
that would abandon the citizen and
deny him state protection, because
the state has changed title to land for
money. Titles to real estate are de-
rived from the state, and under fee
simple the state must defend the
owners rights, whether they be agri-
cultural crops, timber, grass or water

THE Waco Examiner says: "Tbe
free grass men act very unwisely in
establishing the powerful lobby at
Austin to oppose everything looking
to an adjustment of the present un-
seemly trouble in the state. They
will evidently arouse the farmers, and
the Nineteenth Legislature will have
the broad-heel element sufficiently de-
veloped to stamp out all the free-grass
legislation the extra session could get
up were it to sit for a year."

SAYS the San Antonio Light:

Free grass has been the cause of
much of the disturbed condition of af-
fairs in Western Texas, and Senator
Terrell was more than two-thirds right
when he said many men in Texas had
grown rich on lands belonging to the
school children of the state. Free
grass as understood by the events OF
the past, is simply legalized theft on a
broad scale.

CHAIRMAN MORRISON Is reported to
be preparing a bill reducing import

Judge Kelley says such bill cannot

Interested Legislators.
TCIeburne Chronicle

The Gazette wonders how many
state senators who favor the Terrell
bill are the owners of immense bodies
of Texas land. There is wonder also
on the other side. How many sena-
tors who are opposing the Terrell bill
are the owners of immense herds of
cattle, that they desire to pasture on
free range? The first named class
of senators are looking to no more
than the protection of what is their
own, provided the Gazette's surmise
has solid foundation to support it,
while the second class of senators are
trying to keep something they have
wrongfully wrested from the public.
