firm name of Everett, Weddell q Co. About
a year az" s. T. Everett withdrew from tho
firm, and several months later Mr. Weddell
and Dir. Everett made an assignment. 1t was
claimed at the time that S. T. Everett was tho
indirect cause Of the failure, inasmuch as
he owed the bank something like
100000. Weddell was counted very
wealthy man His wife, ono Of tho
most beautiful women ever in the city, had
long lived apart from him. She and her two
children took up their residence in Italy,

brought here and buried When the chill

The career of Grover Cleveland is mes
teoric in its brillancy and unexpected
ness. 1t approaches the marvellous. To
find suitable comparison 1t is necessary
to 90 back nearly Il hundred years when
the star of another man of destiny flashed
across the horizon of Europe. When the
last presidential election occurred Grover
Cleveland was absolutely unknown out
side the city of Buffalo. 1t was his for
tune to be nominated for governor at a
time when the republican party was di,
vided into warning factions. The defeated
faction used him as club with which to
wreak vengeance upon its successful RI
val. The consequence was that he re
ceived a majority such as no other man
ever before received. That majority was
the direct cause of his nomination for
president His star did not desert him.
The obscure lawyer of few years ago
has became the president elect of today,
the most powerful man in the greatest
nation upon the globe.
A icurious fact in Clcvcland's dazzling
career is the great and indeed essential
aid he has received from the two
factions of the republican party.
The connection of the half breeds
with his phenomenal majority in 1882 is
well understood. Less apparent, though
no less real. is the assistance he received
from the stalwarts in 1884. They were
without organization; they made no
noise; they walked quietly to the polls,
and revenged themselves on Blame who
directly instigated the half breed revolt
in 1882. They used as an instrument
Grover Cleveland, the same instrument
that their enemies had employed two
years before. The stalwart movement in
favor of Cleveland was the direct outcome
of the half breed bolt of 1882. They rea-
soned that if Cleveland was a good
enough man to beat Folger with for gov
ernor, he was good enough man to beat
Blaine with for president. The conse
quence was that in Oneida county, the
home of the stalwarts, Garfeld's majority
of 1,946 was changed into small plur'
atty for Cleveland. Had Oneida county
given its usual republican majority Blaine
would have carried New York.
One faction of the republican party
nominated Grover Cleveland, for his nom
nation was the result of his two hundred
thousand majority in 1882, and the othc
faction elected him,
