Few advocates OF the leasing system
believe that any considerable portion
Of land which has been leased will be
settled SO long rs the lease exists. They
maintain that the Unbiased lands will
be sufficient TO accommodate the actual
settler and for greater security on this
point the Hon, Barnett Gibbs OF Dal-
las, very conspicuous advocate of the
lease, would reserve 10000 acres in
every county for settlement alone.
Overlooking the fact that this Is con-
ccssion Of the truth of the argument
that the lease retards settlement, TIE
GAZETTE propounds the question To
the lease-law advocates: What final
disposition Ia proposed Of tie leased

doned or the settler left to struggle

Sufficient time has elapsed since the
Chicago convention for the first i'm
pressions as 10 the wisdom OF IL result
to Iass away and the deliberate judg-
ment OF the country to be passed upon
Us action. That judgment does not
disapprove Of Gov. Cleveland. IL
conmends his selection ~ conserva-
tive and prudent. rather than deeply
sagscious. The country has made up
lis mind that man who Is capable of
making such record as a reformer In
two years as governor Of New York
will not he badly out Of place as pres
ident at Washington, where reforms
are so greatly needed. People know
full well that nothing is TO be expected
from Blaine as a reformer. IL would
be as reasonable to expect filth TO pro-
duce cleanness as to look forward 10 the
publication Of the government by an
administration whose head Is Blaine.
He was mixed up with nearly every
scandalous transaction that involved
public officials while in congress, and
his character Is so VIGOROUSLY die
reputable as to compel a large part Of
his own party 10 repudiate his nomina-
ton and organize for his defeat.
Though his public career has been
brief. Cleveland has made a successful
and pure record, and he Is in every
way the antithesis Of the Republican
candidate.
The deliberate judgment Of the pub
lie does not condemn Gov. Clevelsnd's
official inexperience As uniting him
for the station to which he aspires.
He was equally inexperienced when
made governor Of New York, and he
has shown no weakness in that posi-
ton. Grant had had no political ex-
perience when called to the presidency
In 1865, and IL cannot be said that he
was lacking in the essentials Of good
president. What mistakes he made
were owing to the advice OF so-called
practical and mature politicians, who
led him from the ways Of patriotism
TO partisanism. The last candidate OF
the Democratic party, Gen. Hancock,
had never held political office, and
was, ut the time of his nomination.
without as much experience rs Cleve-
land has had. Indeed, common sense
Is better thing than experience, and
Cieveland's common sense has carried
him through term as governor of the
creates, state IN the Union without
having been betrayed into any mis-
takes due to unacquaintance with pol
itics.
The advice of cabinet officers is
sought upon all questions of moment,
and the Democratic party possesses a
plenty of statesmen for the formation
of a cabinet of exceptional ability and
power. With the aid of such men as
he can call around him, Gov. Cleve-
land rs president would make no mis-
take, a. the result of inexperience.
And after all is 1t not better to he with
out acquaintance with public affairs
than to be acquainted with them only
rs they offer opportunities for jobbery
aud personal gain? AS between
Cleveland and Blaiue, the honest peo-
pie OF the country cannot long hesi-
tate as to the one most lit to be lresi-
dent.

How the Democratic party hates the Post
Oficei 1t has not had power in the House
of Representatives for years; but it has en-
tered upon an effort to cripple the efficiency
OF the service by which more people are d.
rectly benefited and blessed than by any
other. What has government done more
advantageous to business, and more useful
to the whole community than the establish
ment of the railway postal service and the
free letter delivery in cities? Yet whenever
the Democratic party gets control of the a5-
preparations committee it bends its energies
to diminish and staIve out these services. 1t
is known TO dot what the cost OF continu-
ing the railway postal service on the lines
where it now exists will be, it is known that
the cost is not excessive, and it is known
that there is certain to be reasonable de-
mand for its increase that ought to be pro-
vided for. 1t is also known what the free
letter carrier service where it exists costs,
that there is no extravaganza about it, and
that it ought to be increased. Nevertheless
the Democratic policy, illustrated year after
year is TO make insufficient appropriations
This is craftsmanship about as sensible and
patriot as would be an effort to cut down The
appropriation for interest of the debt below
what is known to be necessary. II is only one
of many evidences Of the Incompetence of the
| Democratic party to govern with wisdom or
/ honor.

The Ohio Democrats are keeping the prom
Uses they made to the saloon keepers
about as faithlessly as those they made to
the wool growers. They pledged themselves
before the election to repeal the Scott law.
When they came into power, however, they
dared not do that and SO induced the liquor
dealers to accept modification of their
promise. A compromise was effected, the
saloon men offering to be satisfied with q
graded tax. But the Democrats are afraid
now to fulfil even this second promise,
knowing that to do so will be to court de-
feat In October. They have held three eau
cuses on the subject and at each of then
decided to pass graded tax law. Neyerthe-
less they hesitate and the general opinion
10 that such law will never be passed.
