J Mr. Cleveland* 1 The St. Louis Republic. j It is a matter of general comment among public men who have been { observing Mr. Cleveland since he reentered the White House that lie has changed greatly witnin tne past rour years. He is certainly very different in $kafiy respects from the man who came to Washington eight years ago like a stranger in a strange land to assume charge of the executive end of Government. He knows much more than he did then and has better command over himself and ever other people. It does not take long for the politicians who have had years of experience in Congress to "size up" a man. The first thing they do when a new administration comes into power is to take the measurments of the President and his Cabinet. They may ?3fiavo known the men well enough before, but their duty under the changed conditions is to ascertain how they fit in their new positions. Thev studied Cleveland before whsti he was in tho White House; now they are studying him again. Every Senator and every member of the House who calls on Mr. Cleveland watches and studies with the care of a scientific expert, and when they get together in the hotel corridors or in tho privacy of their rooms they compare notes and make their estimates. This is as much a part of their business as it is tne place of a dortor to make a study of his patients, and they are as expert as any doctor. '(JKEATEY IMI'KOVKI). Cleveland has had his measure k taken physically, mentally and paychologicall^vifnd the decision is that he has greatly improved since he was last at ttie Head or trie nation. He does not appear as heavy and flabby as he used to be. While ho has aged a little and has lost much of hi& hair, he seems more active and closer kr.it and more capable of endurance. His physical condition is shown to bo strong by his reckless ness^as to fatigue and exposure and freedom from any evil results from it. Mentally, ho is*kneer, more astute, quicker of perception and broad* r of vision, and underneath all this he is more touch with maud kind, more genialf less apt to be fretful and more apt to get in sympathy with and understand all manner and conditions of men. He is more a man of the world. Having more confidence in himself he has more in other people and. where be has a lack of confi dence it is more clearly marked as to the individual instead of oeing general' The general comment is that ho is a plcasanter man to meet and more difficult to influence. He has u wider acquantance with men, a broader range of vision and more clearly defined purposes* He is not inclined to devote as many" hours to work as he used to, but he can dis- ' i 11 i H pose of more in less time, just at " present he is being put through a pretty hard strain, but with all "the hand shaking and all the importunities )je is subjected to he does not uppp&/\J/to be in tho least disturbed. He seems to have solved the problem of letting the other fellow do the worrying. The men who want places can fuss and fume as much as they care to, while he taken it ail philosophically. Thero is a great deal of comment on his policy as to old officeholder*, and opinion widely diller. The most gene?al opinion is that it is good policy, but then its practice cuts off a large element of the support which was given to secure Cleveland's renomination last June. Aj a rule, those whom he had favored with appointments during his first term were anxious for his renomination aiukj^rked for it at Chicago, believ. ing t j.it it would insure their own return to power. This new policy is, of course, very disapointing to them* A man seeking a renomination might not have the courage to do a thing of this sort, bub it certainly has the merit of discouraging the 1 theory and practice of having nom- ( nation made by officeholders for the benefit of themselves. 1 t A FAKREACIUN4?

UtIOOSK YOU It GOVERNOR. tlic Political Outlook for Eighteen Mouths llence. I'lia S3t.it.. It is really wonderful to hear the ?mount of talk already being indul *ed in by the politicians of the State ibout who are going to he the aspirin ts for Governor eighteen months lience. This is Gov. Tillman's last erm as Governor of South Carolina, unless the custom he broken, and such will hardly be the case, inasmuch as the race is already on for :he United States Senate. A won lerfnl transformation scene has jeen going on, too, in ihe last few veeks, whiclkwill leave its mark on he future of South Carolina politics, uid will very likely result in doing mtiroly away with any one candilate for the men, who have heretofore been iti the Reform Movement, ;o consolidate upon. The fact is, that it is pretty certain that there will he no such thing is a Reform Movement before an* )tllor twelve mont.v t*f 111 nrnnml There are men who wont into tho , 'Movement" originally with an ol>ect. 'l'hcy were willing to follow i leader, but thcv have ambition, , md now they all want to reap the ( tenofits of their work. There is ikely to ho a great number of can- , lidutes before the people in the next ( jampaign. Each 0110 of them w ill ^ 1 i*aw their friends from the former , iolid Reform Movement ami it ,,will j >o a general scufllo. What course he Conservatives will pursue is as , in the dark. They are resting ( >asy on their oars, and waiting de , elopments' Hut, there are other tauses which will likely result in | ducing several men in the field, iside from the fact that many will i >e actntated by ambition alone. , It is generally talked that Gov>rnor Tillman, in order to place , limsclf in a stronger position to | nuke the fight for tho United States , Sonatorship, will run again for Gov- , trnor, and be elected, having whom j 10 wants for Governor placed on the | icket for Lieutenant Governor. The dea is for him to resign the Gov < lrnorship after the eleothw has served its purpose and let the Lieutenant Governor step up. , Then again some are saying that , he Frby faction, if Harle should j ail to get the appointment as dis ( rict attorney, will take him up and ( run him for Governor. Of courso | his is only talk. , "Uncle George"' Tillmtui may he , dassed among the probable candi- ' lates for Governor. He is very sore , ibout the way he was treated in the , ast electeon, and is thoroughly ] iroused- He will certainly be heard , rotn, and as a candidate for Gov. , >rnor the people generally think ? hat he will be a ssong adversary for j toy one. , Congressman Talbert is entirely , >ut with the reform ring, and is a j lossible candidate. lie has already , mid that he "would make no rash f irotnises," when asked if he was joing to bo a candidate for Governor. One of the most likely candidates s Congressman Shell. His recent :ourso in Washington, and his uteranqes since his return home, havo ihown that he has kicked out of Reform traces. Many think that ie moans to be a candidate, and re. ;ard him as a strong man. The Alliance is likely to present wo men and take a hand in the ight. Donaldson and Senator W. 1). Evans are mentioned as the Aliance candidates. They arc both itnbitions men and are known to lave a longing for gubernatorial ionoi-9. Then again there is John Gary Svans. He has hud his eye on the Governor's chair for some "tenths, tnd is a favorite with the admtnis<ration. Eugene Gary, the present lieutenant Governor, and Secretary >f State Tindal are also mentioned ti connection with the Governor's )ffice. Outside all this, however, are the inknown qualities of the Third piry and the Prohibition movement, t is thought that Bowden may lead be more extreme Tilintanites into a I bird party, and, claiming as they < lid last year to be Democrats, come I nfco the primary and take a place ih -ITe picture. The prohibitionists are I rery much disentitled with the way I n which the reform movement has 1 ittmnptud to settle tho prohibition 1 piestion, and they may place a can- t lidate in the fiald. < The most important unknown i inanity however seems to bo the ] iVage Worker's Movement. It is t >ecoming powerful, and with so 1 nuch division it will hardly have nnch troub'e in running in any canlidate for Governor that it. may de- i lido upon. It ia thus seen that outlook for j South Carolina eighteen months t lence, has gathered from this pre- e tontntion of the general talk going h 'Be True to ON WAY, S, Cm the rounds on the political surface, shows a very interesting problem. The Work of Abandoned Land Depart ineiif. The Stilto. Just about three years ago the Abandoned Hand Department was created by the State Sinking Fund Commission, and Col, James G. (libbs, one of the best and most energetic civil euiginecrs in tbe State was placed at the bead of it as State "abandoned land agent." The object of the State in creating the department was to have the thousands of abandoned lands known to be in tbe State hunted up, sold and placed on tbe tax books. Col. oibbcs was not to receive any salary from the State, but was to be allowed a commission on all lands placed on tbe tax books defraying l>is own expenses in tbe search for them. He set to work employed assis tants and has ever since been bard at work. Ho said yesterday that tie bad up to date succeeded in placing about? in round numbers one million acres nf such lands heretofore not known to exist on the tax books in the sever [il counties of tbe State. He snvs this is about all of such lauds in the State and hois about ready now to wind up the affairs of the department. lie says the lands now being found are 50 poor and are of such low grade that it does not pay him or anyone else the actual expenses of pursuing the search further. lie says even as it is, about half of the lands that havq been found and sold are so poor that they will be gradually dropped oft t he tax hooks, and in the next live years will have to he placed ther again* lie says he will have a few sales in Berkley, Horry and oreenville counties on April salesday, but they will be about tho last. Col (lihbes says that it has not been and is not, only the abandoned lands which have been escaping taxation. lie savs there are hundreds of owners of tracts of 1,000 acres who return only 700 acres, and pay [)ti that much. The State has no township maps giving surveys which show the exact number of acres in n township, and it hrs to accept ths inevitable result, being too poor to hare such surveys made.
