GROVER CLEVELAND

Amid the enthusiasm which IL
part of all national conventions,
GRoNER CLEVELAND was yesterday re-
nomi mated for president of the United
States. The nomination creates no
surprise aud no enthusiasm. The
democrats re-nominated Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND because they had. it to do. To
repudiate him was to confess that the
last four years of democratic rule had
been failure. While that PROPOSE
ton is true, it would of course be
folly to admit 1t. Let us see.
Mr.. CLEVELAND, in his letter accept
ing the nomination four years ago,
declared against IL second term. For
this he was much praised, especially
by all presidential candidates who
hoped to succeed him. The state
ment contained in that letter has
been utterly dsregarded and thus we
dispose OF his first public utterance to
he American people.
Next, he was going to reform the
civil service. A few namby pamby
/ politicians-political men milliners,
/ as Mr.. CoNKLING called them--cried
| loudly for reform These gentlemen,
| led by GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,
sought an opportunity TO desert
/ BLAINE ON account OF his tariff views,
and that excuse was furnished in MIR.
/ CLEvELAND's promise to reform the
/ civil service. Wherein the civil SER
| vice needed an upheaval, unless the
| object OF "reiorm" be to create an
army of "Barnacles," no man has ever
| yet been able TO fud out. No matter
about the necessities OF tine case; the
/ excuse was considered sufficient, and
under Il combination of Peck sni llian
! purity and mugwumpian pretense,
/ these spotless souls entered the lists for
| CLEVELAND and reform. There never
/ was any basis TO the civil service nou-
sense, or the prattle OF these toy poll
ticians; but whatever the "man OF
/ destiny" promised to do for these
/ longing patriots, it is conceded by
them ali that he has utterly failed to
I do it, and that as civil service re-
! former, the name OF CLEVELAND is a
! dciusion and n snare. Thus the second
| pretense OF the president has become
the by word Of politicians, and the
bVldness with which he turned his
| ponderous back on the efleminatc
mugwumps, demonstrates that be pro-
poses to have no more of them.
His last proposition was TO "reform"
the tariff. No living man can define
where this work begins and where it
ends. lie had no record on the tariff,
or any other question, and il was un-
derstood in Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana that when he promised
u reform" the tariff, he intended to
let it alone. He at once placed him
self in the hands Of the extreme free
trade wing OF his party. RANDALL
was taken from the speakers chair,
and CARLISLE seated therein. MoRRI-

of this great industry. IT has added
to the wealth of the nation q sum al
most equal to the principal which mas
been paid on the national debt. Inc
lead industry supplies better mar
ket for the product OF the manuiac'
turer, the farmer, and every industry
west of the Missouri than any other IN
terest 1t has supplied to railroads
and transportation companies an
amount of freight traffic without
which they could not have paid inter-
est on their bonds.
1t has caused the construction OF
thousands of miles Of railroad across
the desert, through the canyons and
over the mountains. AS the VoluIhe
of production has increased 1t Is shown
that the price has fallen. The average
wages to miners and laborers in the
lead mines of Utah, Colorado and other
portions of the Rocky Mountain coun-
try is SO per day, while the lead miners
of Spain. with which the reduction OF
the tariff would bring them in direct
competition, is about 80 cents per day.
Ii is not raw material in any cor
rect sense of the word. The ore from
which the lead is smelted lies IN tle
mountains as valueless as the ordinary
stone until millions OF dollars are in
vested in the sinking of shafts, the
erection of mining machinery, pumps
and tine costly plants of the great
smelling works. The plants and ma
chinery ut the large lead and silver
producing mines in Colorado, utah
and other places cost more money Than
many of the greatest manufacturing
establishments in the east. The great
smelters of Denver and Pueblo, in
Colorado. of Salt Lake and other cities
OF the Rocky Mountains are among
the most expensive establishments IN
the world. The United States con
sumed in 1887 10000 tons of lead,
VIII ch. at $40 per ton, amounts too over
FL 100000 If the proposed reduc'
ton of the tariff on lead is made, ~
large portion OF this sum would have
to be sent abroad in gold, for the lead
would be imported from countries with
waich we have little trade"

Pulitzer Advises Texas.

The capitol syndicate, who live in
Chicago, England and Scotland, and
own 100000 of acres of land in the
Par handle, inspired the latest boom
tor division of Texas, and Mr..
Joseph Pulitzer, OF the New York
World, seems to have been enlisted as
the chief OF the movement. Under
the doctrine of the Blair bill ar it's
kindred ceLtralizing measures, pro-
tected and advocated by the Republic
can party and few sc-called Demo
Gratis, it is not strange that this prop
ostion should originate outside of
the state. The same paternal spirit
and cehtralizing idea that und' rlies
the Blair bill, can, aud will if deemed
expcdient, go to tho ex-
tent of wip'ng out state
lines, establishing provinces and
appointing governors and subor-
dinste officials TO administer tn cir af-
fairs. OF course there Is no warrant
for it i'll the constitution, or any whore
else, outside OF the war department,
but why not take the states III hand,
and so jerrymander their metes aud
bounds, "a in the case OF some con-
gressi onal districts, as TO secure pa
ternalist, or republican msjorities in
eoch state, and thus enable min orities
to elect preAidents and senators. The
strange feature in this Chicago and
proposition to chop up
Texas into four .tates, is Mr.. pulitzcr's
connection with aud interest in il.

and therefore it cannot be that he
favors the wishes Of these million
aires as a party measure or for the
