President CleyelaHd's veto OF tho
private bill for the rcliet of EugenG
Wells, late captain in the Twelfth
Infantry, is approved by army Of
licers, and it is moreover based up
on principles of the highest justice.
This man retired from the army in
1870, to avoid court martial thar
would have resulted in his disnils-
sal; was appointed second lieuten-
mt in 1885 and court mnrtialed
aud dismissed the service in 1887,
for drunkenness and other causes.
The vetoed bill provided that no
should be appointed a second lieu
tenant of artillery aud placed OF
the retired list without the usual
e&aniination. IN plain words thar
a man who lad been officially found
unfis 10 be IN officer should BE pad
u salary for the rest Of his life as Il
retired officer. The fact that Wells
has influential friends merely adds
to lie credit to which the strongest
trait in Grover Clcycland's charac-
tcr-his absolute determination to
DO what he believes to be right re.

say that the Democratic colleagues
Of Governor-cIect Oates were de-

opposed anything like conccssions
to tile populists. President Clevc-
land also had good reason to feel
grotifed, as Col. Oates from the
beginning Of bI5 campaign for the
nomination had been clasaed as the
Cleveland candidate. This cleo
ton has thrown a wet blanket over
tho loud-noithed, bit poohy.in-

prophesying tremendous gains to
The Populist5 in The South at the
expense Of tho Democratic party.
It has also convinced many that
the Democrats retain control OF tho
