What great changes take place in the
Lottery OF political existence Is best
illustrated by showing where Cleveland
was during the campaign OF 1880. The
Democrats ii Buffalo during the cam
paign were apaLhetic. One night,
writes Crawford in the World, there
were seversl gentlemen in Mr.. Cleye
lands law Gllice discussing the situa-
ton. Finally Cleveland said: ave
ought 10 get up a demonstration here to
stir the people up. We must have a

and try TO get up procession unless we

made tat evening, aud carried out
within a short time afterwards. Cleve.

cessioa for three miles. Who could
have imagined that evening that the fu-
ture President Of the u. S.. swinging
greasy oil lamp and clothed in iantas-
tic campaign uniform, was marching
as high private in a noisy political
procession. The possibilities OF American
life involved in this recalls the remark

pear that the presidents order relative

congress meets and passes upon
the subject. The plan is to make an ef-
fort to pass the Dawes bill, opening por.

nounces wholly untrue. the sensational
story relative to the speculative interest

The Milwaukee road had secured
from the Indians the right to tract of
land across American creek, from

secure scrip to cover the government

thrown open to settlement. And the

Attorney General Garland decides, IN
the case of A. r. Lawton, considered for
the position Of minister to Russia, that
the subject of the decision is eligible.
Lawton was an officer IN the United
States army at the beginning of the war
and resigned his place and Joined the
confederate cause. In 1867 he received
pardon and amnesty from the president.
One year later came the adoption of the
fourteenth amendment prohibiting, ex-
cept by consent of congress, any person
from holding civil Office who, having
previously sworn to support the consti.
tuition, nevertheless engaged IN the in.
surrection. Garland holds that at the
time the amendment went into operation
Lawton had, by pardon previously grant.
ed, been restored to all his rights as 6
citizen, and had become by virtue of the
pardon as innocent as though the
offenses forgiven had never been com
mitted. Mr.. Lawton has, however, de
clined the appointment, though he has
firm belief in his eligibility.

Governor Pierce has issued the follow.
ing proclamation to the settlers on the
Grow Greek and Winnebaeo reservation,
copies Of which were circulated by At.
torney General Rice:
The president has deemed it necessary
to revoke the executive order Of Febru-
ary 9th, 1885. opening the above reser-
vatlons to settlement. This action is
plainly inspired by the single purpose
of maintaining what is regarded as the
plighted faith of the government and
keeping inviolats the sacred terms of
treaty.
Ireallze the hardships to settlers in
volved in this order, and am sure the
president is not oblivious to or unmind-
full of them. But it has been issued
under what seemed to the government q
necessity, and it should be quietly and
peaceably obeyed. Considerations of
good citizenship and considerations of
self interest favor such action.
The president and congress will not
neglect to see justice done to those who
have gone on these lands under color of
right, and who sacrifice their property y
and yield what they have gained in order
to obey the command of the executive
I earnestly trust, therefore, both for
the sake of law and order, and for the
sake of the settlers themselves, that the
proclamation of the president will be
obeyed without compelling resort to
any show Of force whatever. Nothing
can be gained; much can be lost by a
failure to voluntarily comply with the
order.
suggest, also, that measures of some
kind be taken by the settlers to PIE
serve proof of their respective claims. II
books be opened in each settlement, and
record be made of the facts in each
case, describing lands settled upon, build.
lngs erected and expense incurred, il
may prove of much convenience and pos
sibly facilitate settlement of claims
should the government consider it proper
to recognize and make provision for
them.
To assist in devising some method by
which this can be done, the attorney
general of the territory will visit the
reservations and will aid the settlers ir
any manner possible by his counsel anG
advice.
