It is said that "What did Cleve-

in Washington. One of the high
priests of Republican politics in
New York State explained to q
New York World correspondent
the current use of the phrase. It
appears that for some time past,
when politician has called at the
White House to have q Democratic
official removed and Republican
appointed in his place, the question
the President has almost invariably
asked was, "What did Cleveland
doY and if Cleveland did not make
removal from the Office in ques-
ton, President Harrison holds that
he cannot with any propriety, be
less forbearing. Hence grumbling
politicians are going about from
one to the other in the hotel lobbies,
and elsewhere, asking on the sly,
"What did Cleveland do?"
