will remember that we then stated
our views with regard to the com
ing administration Of Grover Cleve-
land, who was on that day first
inaugurated president, and pictur-
cd him as the president of the peo-
pie. How we'll we told his future
is matter now of history. Within
ton days he will again have been
installed to the high Office he 50
well filled formerly, and the indi-
cations now are that he will be the
same non-partisnn as in the past,
at all times striving for the inter-
est of the people. The first step
taken in this direction is the APP
pointment of Judge Walter q.
Gresham rs secretary of state, and
Col. G. j. Bronston in the Lexing-
ton Press So clearly defines the
policy of Mr.. Cleveland that we
herewith produce what he says,
which follows:
Mr.. Cleveland is the greatest man
Lave ever met, and his appointment of
Gresham is m evidence of that great
ness. In the selection of Gresham Mr..
Cleveland has given the first substantial
recognition to the farmer which that
class has ever received The most OPP.
pressed people in the country for years
has been the farmer. and thousands Of
them have become dissatisfied with both
the old parties and have affiliated with
tho farmers alliance and the peoples
party, because they no longer had con
iidence in the old parties. No man in
the country holds the respect and con.
iidence of the farmers as does Judge
Gresham, aud If he had accepted the
nomination on the peoples party ticket
he would have received thousands Of
votes all over the country that remained
in the ranks of the two old parties. In
selecting Judge Gresham for cabinet
place Mr.. Cleveland appeals To the far.
mer BY calling into the nations coun.
sells man in whom they have perfect
G ntidcncc. Mr.. Cleveland shows to the
farmers that they'are To be considered in
the coming administration. Mr.. Cieve-
land has great and difficult work before
him, aud he il determined To call Ia his
assistance the ablcst available timber he
can lay his hands on, and he Is so big
that he is on plane from which he can
look down on the whole country and
pick his lieutenants without being con.
trolled by II narrow partisan spirit. He
intends that his administration shall be
n government of the whole people, and
In choosing Gresham for secretary of
state believe he has made master
stroke, n stroke that will at once COM
mand the confidence Of very large aud
discontented element in the wisdom of
the policy which the democratic party
may pursue, and will very materially
strengthen the democratic party with
the people,
THE Kentucky legislature should
enact u law ordering the convict
labor TO be worked on the public
roads of the state ut the states ex-
pense, and begin the work in the
mountains. The bluegrass section
was in times past favored with the |
requisite aid To give them good |
roads, and it is only justice to ask
that the mountains be- treated as
we'll. Besides, To- do this would
eventually save tho state great
deal of money. Many counties in |
the mountains, now in the pauper
list, could thus be- made self-sus-
tanning and n source of revenue To
the state treasury. Think of it,
gentlemen of the legislature, and
soc if you cannot do something to
help Us. There is not much prin-
,iple in the favored sections get
ing all they can from tho state,
