THE BAY STATE FOR CLEVELAND.

The Boston Post is an old-established
paper, and is addicted to conundrums.
About the time that the Kentucky reso-
lutions of 1898 first appeared in print,
the Post gave its original conundrum !:
"Why is an elephant like an oyster ?
Answer: Because neither of them can
climb tree." After nearly century
of rest from such an arduous labor, the
same paper now asks, Why should Mas
sachusetts vote for Cleveland? But, in
total discordance with the former occa-
sion, it fails to provide an answer to its
question.
We can tell the Post why Mr.. Cleve-
land should receive the electoral vote of
the old Bay state. 1t is because he is
candid, and has the courage of his con-
victions; because he speaks and acts
without resorting to the employment Of
conscience-keepers and because he was
manly enough to prefer defeat to equiv
ocation. He treads no dark and devil
oua paths in his walk before the people
of this country. His errand in life is an
honest one, and every citizen who
knows anything about the public affairs
of the cation, knows just where Mr..
Cleveland stands upon every important
question and practical issue of the day.
How, then, can Grover Cleveland
hope to carry that state, whose electoral
vote has always gone Republican fol
the past thirty-six years?
For the simple reason that the peo-
pie of the old commonwealth are people
who read and remember what they
read because there 10 sufficient moral
courage yet left in the land of Daniel
Webster and Rufus Choate, to back uI
man whose candor is proverbial and
his integrity unquestioned because pop
ular education has reached higher
pitch in Massachusetts than in any
other state in the union; and because
the blood OF Bunker Hill and Lexington
is not yet run out.
Massachusetts lie the home Of free
thought--it was the cradle of Wendell
Phillips and score of other mastery
intellects, not excluding Prescott and
Bancroft among historians; Wendell

THE efforts OF Mr.. Hubert Howe Ban
croft to sell his alleged library to the
United States for half million dollars,
will only provoke ridicule when the
proposition comes to vote in congress.
There was once historian, named Ban
croft, who was secretary OF the navy un-
der Mr.. Polk and other Democratic
presidents, but he is dead and "dead
mems clothes soon weaf out" There is
no sunshine in the shadow OF great
name. Hubert Howe Bancroft is as big
literary quack as can be found In
America. A large number of his his
torical work, eo-called, was done by o
vagrant who sleeps on the sidewalks of
Portland, and who has forgotten more
about elegant writing than all the in
mates of the History building ever
knew.

IT is stated by those who are in po-
sition to know what they are talking
about, that the great railroad strike is
leading up to famine in New York
City, because of the inability of the
railroads to get fresh supplies of provi-
Hions into New York. OF course, the
poorer classes are the greatest suf-
ferers, as they are only able to lay
in their provisions from day to
day. The docks of Brooklyn, Jersey
City and the metropolis are crowded
with little urchins, trying to catch fish
enough to atone tor the absence Of meat
at home. Two weeks more Of this bus
mess will see great suffering in the EN-
pire city; and all because wages have
been reduced to enable railroads to pay
dividends on stocks watered up to six
times their actual value.

THE MEXICAN GRANr-HoLDKRs ENEMY.

Probably there never was in America,
from the opening of the current century
TO this very day and hour a class so op-
pressed under a republican form of gov
ernment as the native population OF
California, to whom grants were made
by the parent government of Mexico
prior to the treaty OF Queretaro. By
the terms OF that treaty the United
States government was to recognize and
confirm the validity of those grants in
and to the lands therein mentioned,
wherever the same were properly au-
thenticated. The history of those grants
and their owners who were, for the most
part, wholly ignorant of American court
procedure, is sad and pathetic picture.
Their cases were carried from court to
court till they were impoverished. First
went all their money; then their focks
of cattle were sold for less than half
their value, to keep up the incessant
strain Of the courts; and finally, when
the lands were confirmed to them, their
substance was devoured in court costs
and lawyers fees.
Suppose the government had said
we will respect these grants Just this
far. We will survey these lands and
sell them at 81 .25 per acre just as we
sell all other public lands. But we will
reserve 25 cents per acre out of each sale
to cover the cost of survey, and pay the
remaining 81 per acre to the grant hold
ers. Such was DIR. Gwin's idea of the
case, but General Fremont who owned a
grant himself, overruled him and Gwin
Withdrew his bill.
A commission composed of j. D..
Thornton. Alpheus Feleh and another
whose name is now forgotten, came out
here during Mr.. Pierce's administration,
to adjudicate on these claims. If the
claimants were dissatisfied with their
Judgment, they had the right of appeal
to the United States district court,
whose judge up to year ago was Ogden
Hoffman. As is well known to many of
our readers, Judge Hoffman made five
or six pilgrimages to the City of Mexico
in search of information that would en-
able him to adiudicate more clearly upon
the most of these cases, but a few oi
which ever went up to the supreme
court of the United States. Generally
speaking, they were all determined prior
to 1866, and since then have pissed
through dozen changes of ownership.
1t was reserved for Attorney General
Miller, the former law partner of Benja-
min Harrison, now president, to take
measures contemplating the Ieopening
OF these land grants, until rebuked by
Senator Stanford, who told him that
such procedure would make California a
Democratic state till the very crack of
doom. The president, being 3 shrewd
politician, and not wishing to impair his
chances OF reelection, ordered at once
that all proceedings in this line should
terminate. The grant holders of Cali
fornia, as we'll as those who have pur-
chased from them, cannot afford to vote
the ticket of party whose chief legal
officer has virtually declared that there
is no such thing in law as an innocent
purchaser.

now the next election is to be carried.
Referring to the city Election Board,

This board is Democratic, and the

no political fRvors to Republicans dur

but Democrats on guard should be
the motto OF the commissioners in Sc.
iecting officers of registration and
election, and II the law allows tho ap-
pointment of two Democrats and one
Republican for every election district
In the city of Wilmington, the appoint
ments should be made that way. This
is no time for Sunday school politics.

bound to take advantage of everything
that tue law allows in the coming cam

much before. but now we are sure of
the tactics to be employed by the Dem
ocrats. Fortunately, though the dis
position may be to do as laid down by
Democratic GLASSES" the law will
have to be very much strained before
Its ideas can be carried out. The new
law requires the Election Board to lay
out new election districts not to con
tain more than 800 nor less than 100
voters, and the districts are all to be
within the respective wards. The board
ID then to select three inspectors for
each district, one OF whom must be
opposite in politics to the other two
and also provided; That the total
number of inspectors in each ward
shall be divided as equally as possible
between the different political parties. y
liUnder this regulation the Republl-
cans cannot be entirely cut out. liza
ward is divided into eight districts the
Republicans must have q majority OF
Inspectors in the half Of them; II di-
Vlded into seven they must have at
least three of them. If the board dl.
vldes each ward into an odd number
of districts. ard the Democrats in
evcry instance take the odd one they
cannot have more than twelve dis,
hicts in advance OF the Republicans
1t is said the city is to be divided
into sixty-two election districts, In
which case the Republicans must have
twenty-five OF them. The law Will al.
low them this number at least, but
