Some Phases of CIeveland's Life as Chief
Magistrate-Love for Paltry Details.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Press.
The Presidents love for paltry detail is a
source of great annoyance to those who come in
contact with him. It is said that he writes the
longest Endorsements of any President, and
own handwriting, which is fine and tremulous

ways talking about the responsibilities of his
Office. and complaining of its myriad duties. At
the same time he appears to lack the ability to

A gentleman called upon him the other day in
and was surprised to find that he had personally
examined all the papers in the CAGE and was con-
versant with the matter. He literally trusts

not as counselors. but more as chief clerks.
