THE Philadelphis Record thus views
and philosophers over the Republican
disaffection:
The fact that makes the detection in the Re
publican ranks alarming is,the greater num-
Der of persons who refuse to support the can
didacy of Mr.. Blaine are not alone repealed
by his unsavory public record; their opposi-
ton goesfurt and lies deeper; they are
opposed to the party platform. Upon the
main issue to be determined they thoroughly
agree with the Democratic majority. " it'll
out any Ifs or butts they are in favor of tariff
reform and tax reduction. Unless the Demo.
Gratis shall commit the inconceivable blum
der of abandoning their chosen position, Ell
Their In the declarations of their platform or
the choice OF their candidate, the alliance
between themselves and the indie
pendent Republicans can be cemented with
out the sa ,ritice OF prime pie on either side,
and 1t can be continued until the battle for
revenue reform shall be fought and won
The withdrawal of Mr.. Tilden makes still
more imperative the necessity, as 1t also
makes more easy the accomplishment of an
| effective union of all the voters in both pa :
ties who agree on the predominant political
questions which agitate the public mind and
| engage the attention of congress- Mr.. Tilden
stood for blind and underlined reform and
the memory of great wrong. The
allies whom the Democrats may now
expect TO assist them in changing the
political control of the govern
ment had no great confidence in Mr. Tilden s
promise for the future, nor sympathy with
his past bereavements. But they can jor
heart and soul in contest for honest taxa
tion, honest civil service, honest money ant

wings of industrial and commercial advance

the Democratic party for candidates whom
the army of dissenting Republicans will
gladly support. The eyes Of Independent

IT almost paralyzes the land-lease
organs to find THE GAZETTE on the
side of the people in the discussion Of
the question. They had been charg-
ing it with being the organ of kings,
hullionaires, syndicates and corpora
tons; but 10 the man who advocates
the land-lease system must use the cat
tleman's argument that Northwest
Texas is only fit for grazing purposes
and therefore should be leased out to
men who are rich enough to pay the
rental charged by the land board and
to 'syndicates and corporations outside
of Texas" And these be the organs
of the cattle kings who sit in Wall
street and count their gains from Texas
pastures.

The erroneous impression has gone
abroad in Texas that Senator Bayard
Is Democrat of protection sympa-
thies, and that he is not in harmony
with his party upon the great princi-
pie of tariff reform. If ANYTHING in
Mr.. Bayard's long record in congress
could sustain the imputation of disloy-
atty to tariff reform, The GAZETTE,
which believes that reduction of
tariff taxes to strictly revenue basis
is the hope of the country, would be
last of all Democratic papers to give
him favor. Mr.. Bayard is not pro.
t'ctionist; he is not even an "inciden-
tal' protectionist. He is for tariff re-
form to the extent of removing all
taxes which are imposed for purely
effective purpose. Had the Morri.
son bill passed the house and entered
the senate, Mr.. Bayard would have
supported it by his logic and by his
| vote.
Speaking in the senate on March 2,
1882, Mr.. Bayard said in the course OF
a speech attacking the present protec.
tive tariff:
We have abolished from our constitution
OF government all orders OF nobility; we have
abolished a privileged classes; but II yor
shall admit the principle that A can claim
a right to tax and all others for his own
benefit how can you withhold the sam,
principle from when he demand, A.? TIL,
principle once admitted Is utterly fatal-it ia
utterly unjust.
This language is the language of NO
protectionist. So far to the contrar,
Ii Senator Bayard that he denies abso
lutely the constitutional right to i'm
pose any tax for protective purposes
and asserts that the principle of tax
Ing one man for the benefit of another
is utterly fatal-utterly unjust.n

THAT talk about the Republicans
carrying West Virginia and South
Carolina Is mere bravado. West Vir.
ginia is soundly Democratic, and has
never given Republican electoral
vote since 1872, when Greelcy's nomi-
nation turned the state over to Grant.
Tilden had 1887 majority In that
state In 1875, Hancock II, las majority
in 1880, and the Democrats carried
three of the four congressional districts
In 1882. South Carolina, though stolen
from the Democrats In 1876, gave Han
cock majority Of 54,2il In 1880, and
In 1882 the total Republican vote was
but II, 719 out of 84,877.

1t Is An Issne.

A few months ago the land-lease or
gans boosted what the land board
would do and what the legislature
would do with the public lands, and
declared that the disposition of the
public lands was something with
which the people had naught to do.
The tune is now changed. The peo-
pie have something to do with this
matter, and they are acting on it.
Those who favor the lease system say
80 ; those who want a herd law declare
their wishes, and those who are op.
posed to both are free to express such
opposition. The disposition of the
public lands is an issue, and in more
than one county in Texas the candi.
date for the legislature will be elected
on that issue. The loneliness of the
land-lease and herd-law organs is all
gone, and in its place may be observed
