Love and be lovely, that is all you Feed
And what you wish for will be yours
some day.
Susan Coolidge.
Cleveland is Solomon of Democracy.
Yes; Cleveland Is Solomon of
Democracy. and has already routed
forever the cohorts of banded par
tisans for pelf and planted the flag
of Democracy-the banner of pat
riotism-in places of power for the
peoples good and the country's pro
gress.
Our Republican friends-the enc
my-do not know what to make of
the Cabinet which Mr.. Clevelan has
selected, and consequently do not
know where to strike at it. There
is the distinguished Field Marshal
Halstead, who fondly imagines that
the Senate will refuse to confirm the
nomination of Judge Gre esham. He
predicts all manner of confusion IN
the Senate when that name reaches
| it.
"It is not probable says the
Louisville Courier Journal, ,"that the
least objection will be made in the
Senate to Judge Gresham or to any
other member of Mr.. Clevellnd's s
Cabinet" 50 the New York Tribune
treats the subject in different man.
ner altogether, saying:
elf the measure of a mans fitness
for the Cabinet Offices is the extent
to which he is unknown, Mr.. Cleve-
land is going to have peerless body
of advisers
Well. let us see which member of
the Cabinet of Mr., Cleveland car. be
said to be unknown even to the edi-
tor of the New York Iri5uue.
Judge Gresham was a member of
the Cabinet of President Arthur,
and there won the respect of the
country. Appointed to the bench
he has there maintained the reputa-
ton gained in the Cabinet. He has
been a Presidential possibility with
in the Republican party for eight
years, ard last summer declined the
Presidential, nomination from party
which cast over a million votes. Mr..
Gresham may or may not be popular
with the Republican editors, but
certainly he is not unknown"
John G. Carlisle has been Lie u
tenant Governor of Kentuck y,
Speaker Of the National House of
Representatives and Senator In
the great contest for tariff reform he
was from the first the most conspi-
cuous figure in political life. He
was in two conventions d possible
candidate for. President, and could
no doubt have been Chief Justice
had he desired the position.
Mr.. Herbert, Secretary of the
Navy, has for years been a mem Der
of Congress, and during the recon-
struction of the navy has been at
the head of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs. Certainly he is as
we'll known to this country as was
his predecessor four years ago.
Mr.. Morton has lived in Repub-
lican State, but he has not lived in
security. A believer in free trade he
has preached the gospel with such
effect as to make him throughout
the West as well known certainly
as Mr.. Harrison's Attorney General
or Secretary of the Interior.
Mr.. Bissell has been known chiefly
as The partner of Mr.. Cleveland, just
as Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Harrison's part
ner in Indianapolis, was known. He
has preferred law to public life, but
he certainly has not lived in obscu-
rity, and he is well enough known to
make it reasonably certain that four.
years hence he will retire from Office
with q reputation at least equal to
that earned during the past four
years by the old law partner Of the
retiring President.
The new Secretary of War, is Mr..
Lamont, succeeded Mr.. Elkins. Mr..
Lamont was for four years the Sec
iSGoi VI euCe 4C0HAcAt, anu AScA
ing from office he has m the past
four years won high position in
commercial life. and certainly can
not be classed among the unknown.
Two members remain; Mr.. Smith,
Secretary of the Interior. and Mr..
Olney, Attorney General Neither
of these gentlemen has bern con-
spicious in national AFFAIR.", but each
is man of influence in his own
State. Mr.. Smith is a lawyer and
the editor of an influential journal
and had . following strong enough
to secure the vote of Georgia for
Cleveland in the National Conven-
tion. Mr.. Olney has twice declined
judicial appointments, and brings to
bis office higher profe ssional repu-
