The Reno Gazette has a scorching
editorial on tne question of bribery.
It thinks when a member of the Leg

can easily refuse it if he wants to
without making fuss or an ass of
himself. When old Bill Gibson was
offered bribs in the Senate he re-
piled: II can't afford to take your
money, I'm a gambler and would
lose cast in my profession.

Cleveland is already making him
self disliked by the old bourbons. by
selecting Judge Gresham as his chief
cabinet officer.
They say he is too recent convert
to the principles of Democracy, and
there is wailing and gnashing of
teeth all along the line.

lately upon the inauguration of Pres
ident Cleveland will be among the
probabilities,
