ton may be proved either by the inter.
preting operator or persons who are
present at the time of the communloa-

is true that In communicating by tol. :

these many years! His manly adher-
ence to principle is surely not to be ig-
nored by the president, or sneered ut by
the people.
The solemn truth is that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND is restoring principle in national
administration. He is not looking to
localities for.his sppointees, but to men.
Whilst regardful of sections, he will as.
sign none to high places save
those who are worthy and who
will reflect honor upon the coun-
try at large. This idea is only
beginning to dawn upon the people and
its desuetude causes it to be wondered
at. Yet 1t is right and the Democracy
must not marvel Of complain of the
enforcement Of views which for many
year they have incorporated in their
enunciated platforms. When the full
complement OF representative ap-
pointees is secured, then comes up a
question as TO the best men to receive
patronage which can be enjoyed by
many persons whose Individual capaci-
ties for filling the places would be about
equal. Almost any educated man can
be clerk or revenue officer. These
officials can be taken according to geo.
graphical position as n recognition of the
fact that certain sections were loyal to
the principles on which MIR. CLEyE-
LAND was elected.
But has il ever occurred TO our Re-
publican friends that the "obscurlty" of
men now being given high Offices Is due
to themselves? IL has not been matter
of "obscurity" that Democrats for Is
years have been denied even a national
appearance, except so far rs the states
they represented would send them into
congress. The fact of their not oIoom-
Ing up largely" is not due TO their want
OF ability or incompetency, but to the
beggarly system Of Partisan admins
tration adopted by the Republican
party. Yet we have been In measure
sufficiently represented both at home and
abroad, and the rationale of this Is that
the parties are so equally divided In the
union that out Of either 25,OOO,OOO of
Republicans or Democrats, the very
best material can be selected. Mr..
CLEVELAND has q, 900 900 of Democrats
to select from. He has acted wisely,
and will do 80 in future, unless he
changes his policy. What heroic
spectacle is presented in the action of a
man acting from principle!

conversation. The commissioners
court listened TO speeches on both sides
of the question again yesterday after-
noon, and took tho matter under adj
yisement until this morning, when the
decision was reached that the election
SHOULD stand, and that the court had no
jurisdiction to pass upon the
legality of the election. The
county Judge will therefore
issue his proclamation forbi1diug tho
sale Of intoxicating beverages, to take
effect in 20 days. The HERALp's cor
respondent is reliably informed, how

Monday, restraining tho publication of

will continue to do business until To-
gal election is held at which majority
shall vote for prohibition.
