PEN PICTURE OF CLEVELAND. a
The President Is u less reserved and q
more likeable man than l had been in the
habit Of thinking him., He is at once ex-
act and exacting, but there IL beneath his
unmistakable busipess.like purpose and
exterior, douehtiness OF spirit an EN-,
sasing easdor, which come out ssrsns
for very little proyocation and which
save his manners from severity.
Genial Is hardly the word 10 describe the
sunny side Of him, for lie is serious man
and a haYd.worked and hard.working
man but be. has tile gift nf Q simple school
bov'B love OF fair play, and Grep6ae alto
eether unaffected and complete, and SIM
sularly lacking both In cynicism and yacu-i
ity. L observed the latter otthese admlfs
able qualities in Miss Cleveland, whose
rapid advancement and elevation to the
highest social bonois and duties
have no wise disconcerted her
and who will add one more
name to the very short list of ladies' who
have s'gnalized and adorned the, mistress

reach Of brain have perhaps never been
tested or measured. He has yet To put

Time, which develops, can only ditclosa
the nature Of the extent Of this. But
there is one. thing about which nothing
can be obscure, which shows itself in all

upon all his aspects. fhatis character,

spring OF everyday experience, conferred
inestimable blessings upon bis kind.
whilst the historyof the world is inll Of
examples Of curses wrought by brllliancy
corrupted and genius misapplied.
Mr.. Cleveland Is plain, sober man:
There is nothing dramatic or sensational
about him. He has not, like so many
politicians, a long eoaeeicnce and short
memory. His hates and hia loves gre few,
positive and sincere. He has shown bins
self abundantly able 10 say "No," and yet
no man has a livelier wish % crafty the
wishes OF others. Very great forbearance

about practical benefits and utilitarian
performance and promise, all this has q
moral value incalculahle. II isin itself g

The attack Of Mr.. Eustls upon the sds
ministration, seem TO me equally unjust
and unwise. As long as Senators and
Representatives insist upon sharing the
pstronage Of the government they should
be willing TO share Its responsibilities.
