WHY Is CLEVELAND SCARED?
Does He Distrust His Democrat
Friends, or is He Afraid That
He viii Have to RetireT

He viii Have to Retire?
II see," said prominent San An
tonian, THAT the president and all his
democratic supporters seem, greatly
alarmed at the corruption, which the
surplus in the treasury Will create
among the Office holders"
Now such fears must be based OIL
one of two propositions, either that
the office holders, all democrats, and
APPOINTED by Cleveland, are
thieves, and are liable to steal
the aforesaid surplus, or they
fear they are about to go out OF place,
and the surplus will pass out OF their
clutches; and since no office holding
democrat doubts Cleveland's re,elec-
ton. the cry that the surplus Will cor
rupt the office holders, is direct IN .
putation upon the honesty OF the
democrats. Well, they know best
their own failings; perhaps a surplus,
is unsafe in the hands of Cleveland
and his democratic office holders, but
vet it is rare democratic honesty 10
admit the fact.

MEADE COUNTY STANDS PAT.

The Bullock bad -lands-sorehead party
hardly expected to see such a
straight, up-and-up, solid phalanx Of
country delegates as met them with its
fighting clothes on last Saturday after
noon. As soon as the boilers gazed up
on the Harrison hats from the country
precincts they came to the conclusion
that the convention could NOS be cap
tured and their only hope was to break
it up in a row, and, to use mining
phrase, "cloud the title' of the legitimate
delegates elected.
It meant fight from the start. Al
though tho usual Star gang was there
to be used in case blows were to be struck
they knew better than call them into
service. OF course they had the police
force of Deadwood (Star's police) with
with them, and took particular pains to
have them handy right by their elbows,
ready to be called upon OF a moments
notice. Several other little things were
brought to light during their seance that
were far from creditable, but which were
expected in Deadwood, and particularly
from that gang.
Their race is about run. They know
it. Hence their terrible struggle against
the inevitable.
