Kelly, Tammany and Bayard,

The outspoken declaration OF the
New York Star, the Tammany organ,
In reference to the unavailsbility of
Gov. Cleveland as Democratic nomi-
nee, is but the echo of John Kelly's
frank declaration that the tidal-wave
governor Is not the man TO carry New
York. 1t Is of no use to inveigh
against Kelly, Tammany or the Star.
They hold the balance OF power in New
York, and while 1t is assured 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 prefer to see some one
else nominated. They show tina. even
with all that Is said of the tidal
wave" he did not poll within 10000
votes of the strength Of his party; that

NOMINEE, anu tuuS IL cdille aUuuN tuut
Cleveland, while failing to command
his party vote, yet polled the vast ma
jority. These arguments will have
their weight at Chicago and they bode
no good for Cleveland. Kelly is not
debating, but reasoning, and with
powerful logic. Cleveland is New
York's leading Democrat and if he is
put aside what then? The mind turns
irresistibly TO Bsyard AZ the solution
of the problem. Tammany will vote
for Cleveland. 1t will not only vote for
Bayard, but work for him. Tamma-
ny's position as makeweight in ma
tional politics may be irritating to
Democrats, but it is living fact that
may not be ignored. The national
convention will listen to Kelly's rea-
soning, and all the signs point to the
Delaware senator as the outcome.

state, and with amazing unanimity
they are all for the continuance Of the
law as It now stands. IL just suits
them and they revel In II as In sea
of glory.
The colored brother is a devotee OF
the lease system. IL brings In thou
sands Of dollars 10 school his children,
and he Is solid for 1t, AS to its effect
on Northwest Texas he is perfectly in
different. He has no interest in that
part of the state and II may be treated
to a policy that will result In ruin
without disturbing his serenity. He
lives largely In the Eastern and South
ern counties, and as long rs his pick
aninnes get the use Of the money from
the lands leased out In West Texas he
is contented. Something for nothing
IL bargain that he Is enthusiastic in
support Of.
There are newspapers in the state
claiming 10 be Democratic that are
willing to be used rs channels for the
dissemination of the heresies of this
unboly league against the Democratic
party. Their aims are understood.
With what support they and the band
of cunning enemies Of Democracy are
given by an element of mistaken
Democrats the attempt will be made
to fasten this lease policy upon the
Democrats of Texas, to identify that
party with the system, and when it
becomes unbearably obnoxious, to use
il az club to bruise and break the
party.
The Intelligence Of the Democrats of
Texas Is not deceived by the pretense
of Democratic support that the lease
law has been given. Tney have found
that 1t is opposed to the good of the
state, and it cannot be perpetuated
by Democratic consent.

haps they are right-the incident OF
Greeley In 1872 at least gives them
ground for taking this view of the
matter. We do not say that there is
great probability of Buffers nominal
ton, but il he was thought to be the
strongest man in the doubtful states he
certainly would be nominated without
regard to the South's protest.
Big msjorities are not an "unmixed
blessing" The South has not asked
for candidate of her first choice. but
our people doubtless will not well
come the candidacy Of man more de-
testable than any that could he named.
1t would not be bad thing to have
enough opposition votes TO make some
of the Southern states at least debata-
BILE ground, and compel politicians TO
take them into account in making up
the ticket.

Railroad to Waxahachie,

Our people are becoming interested
in railroad to Waxahachie, and a
little timely agitation of the matter
will create a good feeling here In be-
half of such an enterprise. Aside
from the fact that such a road would
give Fort Worth connection by direct
and short line with the entire Hunt
ipgton system of roads, with their
ramifying branches to the South and
East, is the Importance of the local
trade that 1t would draw to this city.
Ellis is one of the richest counties in
the state, and in agricultural wealth is
the richest. 1t has large population
of the most intelligent and we'll
TODD farmers. whose cotton ship
ments should be handled in
Fort Worth. Waxahachie, the
county seat and chief town of this
county, is one of the most substantial
and promising towns in North Texas,
and one whose trade is worth making
an effort to get. For want of adequate
railway connection the entire business
of the town is commanded by Dallas,
and Fort Worth is much more advan-
tageously situated to control this whole
sale trade, if railroad gave us access
to Waxahachie. The benefits to that
place of such road would be greater
even than to Fort Worth, as it would
give her merchants competing lines to
market, and shorter route to the
West. If the people Of Waxahachie
and Fort Worth work together, with
the assistance of intermediate towns,
they can get this road.

THE GAZETTE is glad to be able to
answer the following inquiry:
nI.I I,,l,

IlIE GAZETTE Is glad to be able to
answer the following inquiry:
DELEoN, TEN, July l.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
In the last issue OF the DeLeon Examiner
ask what is meant by free grass. Please
give clear definition. We are for free grass
and 1t must be discussed in our local papers
Parties in East Texas do not understand IL.
We only ask what has always been recog.
nized as right Up GRooN.
Some weeks ago THE GAZETTE an-
swered this question very explicitly
and fully. 1t was stated then in
these columns that "free grass simply
means that all uniacioSed lands, public
and private, shall be free 10 the cattle
and horses aud other stock of every
man." We are not able to state il
more clearly now. THE GAzETTE's
idea of free grass is that all grass shall
be free to any stock grazing thereon
until the land Is sold to actual settlers.
when they may inclose their land and
exclude loose stock, just as is done to-
day aud has been done always in East
Texas. When the land is taken up and
fenced by the rightful owner, let the
law then protect him in all his rights
of citizenship, and see that his fences
are not cut and his land not intruded
upon. But no man shall inclose
public lands to which he has
not right by purchase as an
actual settler. In word, The
GAZETTE asks that the lease law shall
be repealed aud the state shall adopt
the same policy toward its lands to-day
as it had in the past, which has proven
to be so beneficial to the people and
interests of tn, state. This, we take
it, is what Mr.. Groom means when he
says, 1--WE only ask what has ALWAYS
been recognized as right
THE GAZETTE will add what free
grass does not mean. 1t does not mean
that one class of citizens shall have
the use of the public lands to the ex-
clusion of another. 1t does not mean
That man shall have the right to an
propriate to his own use immense
ranges OF territory, to the exclusion of
others. 1t does not mean that The
country is 10 be partitioned between
