ter Mr. Cleveland is q very vain man, anu
when in company with boon companions
and a proper degree of merrlment Is attained,
he speaks constantly of himself IN terms OF
highest commentator, aud will listen 10 nothing
.1cept his own achievements. Mr. Cleveland Is
ereduous to the last degree IN reference TO matters
appertanng to his own greatness and Importance.
He believes that all things come TO him because ofhs
inertia and because he is exactly fitted 10 discharge
the dutles without any regard TO whether he has
had any experience or training in that direction or
not.
He Is n very selfish man, and thinks that he Is
m honest one, and he Is, so far as he Knows
HIS own wants and desires, even his own whlms
and preiudces likes and disiikes he really beheVes
10 be the will of the people the voice OF the popu-
lace He is so constructed that he is all the WINE
impressed with the conviction that what he wants
what he desires Is in the interests of good govern
ment and is wanted by erybody else VINO Is
honest and conscientious No amount OF argument
will be able to remove this characteristic lie
knows nothing about human nature rs X exists IN
the individual man. He knows considerable about
the motives and causes which influence people ana
masses but the characteristics OF individuals whom
he meets aud with whom he comes in contact are
blank TO him and to his comprehension. Inc result
of such an organization Is. that ne Is
used by other men of powers greater than
himself to secure their own ends and pur-
,oses without his knowing it-an admirable
machine candidate-and no one knows IL eeiler
than those no are running the rlcane. lie Dc

do anything TO interfere with the Gratihcatoh 9i
