During his administration onr mail facilities were curtailed in every direction and every oitizen out there knows it through bitter experieuce.

Today the service is being Bunhed 10 & pace which is as nearly as possi- le equal to our national growlh. “There aro many other reasons why we should remember Cleveland. His commis- sioner of the general land office—Sparks— rendered himself odious. He asserted that all the settlers on the public lands were thieves. He aiso undertook to make them prove the contrary. He had his special agents scattered throughout that region sp. ing and arresting them for v technical violation of tho law whic small minds could conjure up.
