The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-07-12

Is Stlu IL BuiIalO that ON the day of election |
he was trying "a case in court while his friends |
We're electioneering for him on the street, and
the judge ON the bench, who was presumably
an admirer of his, peremptOrily adjourned |
inc ease and told Cleveland to so ana attend
to his interests.
In the canvass that followed ne was beaten
by the Republican candidate, Lyman X. Bass
Mr.. Cleveland WAS nominated and elected in |
1869 TO be
SHERIFF OF ERIE COUNTY
In that important position he earned an |
additional need of public respect for his |
courageous disregard of partisan Interest and |
MS conscientious regard for the public well |
fare. At the close of his term he formed IL
partnership with his former antagonist Iy- |
man X Bass and Wilson 5. Bissell. MIR. Bass |
health not long aiterward proving precarious |
he went to Colorado and the firm became |
Cleveland q Bssell, TO which partnership Mr. |
George j. Sicard was admitted in 1881.
LEGAL DISTINCTION. o..
IT, was while thus associated that Grover
Cleveland achieved his distinction as law
yer second to few in the western part. of the |
state for legal acumen and intellectual hon
esty. His jury and bench trials were distin- |
gulshed by clear views, direct, simple logic
and II thorough mastery of all the intricacieS
of the cases, ana his inVariable avoidance of
eNtrinsic issues and purely technical devices
secured for him the respect of his own pro-
lesSion and the admiration of the public
These qualities, combined with the fidelity
and independence Of his official action while
in Office, brought him prominently before the
public of Buffalo when that city, unable TO
cAtrlcGte itself from municipal oc topus was
casting about for = staunch reform leader.
MAYOR OF BUFFALO.
Grover ClcVeland's c,ect,on on q Democrat
ic ami reform ticket in lS2 suddenly lifted
rim iiOm local into National prominence
The incidents OF that election end subsequent
administration are familiar throughout the
country. The election itself was an almost
unparalleled triumph, seeing that II was

| II is strictly true that Mayor Cleveland was
| swept into Office on one Of those tidal waves
/ Of popular protests against ring rule that are
A. csistlesS as they are sudden. But 1t was
attcr ell Q loCal contest, and one has yet to
account ior The National importance which
the Buffalo election assumed and the wide
spread interest that was felt In the
new champion. There is only one
Mr.. Cleveland had not yet attracted attention
Ortslde of his metropolitan field. But there
WAS one issue that In sense was the issue of
the hour everywhere, ald that was whether
II was "ny longer possible to secure by pop

Ivy that would administer the peoples affairs
with tie honesty and discretion that We're
necessary to good government. The Buffalo
canvass for ihe nayOralty defined that issue
In the sha"pcst manner. The nomination of
Governor Cleveland WAS avowcdly end de-
