GROVER CLEVELAND.
/ Sketch Of The Career Of the Democratic
Presidential Candidate.

Grover Cleveland was born in Caldwell.
Essex County, New Jersey, on March 18.
1881 He was the fifth of nine children Of
Rev. Richard T. Cleveland, a clergyman OF
the Presbyterian Church, and a graduate
of Yale College.
Grover was educated first in the public
schools of his native State, and afterward
attended an academy in Clinton. Oneida
County, New York. his family in the mean
time having moved to Fayetteville, New
York. In 1858 his father was called to the
church at Holland Patent. about fifteen
miles from Utica. Within a short time
after making this change his father died,
and complete ch snge was made in the sit
uation and prospects of the Cleveland FAM
lily. Grover started out for himself, and
searched for work unsuccessfully In Syra-
cause and Utica. He then decided to go
westward, and reached Buffalo There he
found empl oyment in a lawyers Office In
1859 he was admitted TO the bar, and when
he was 90 years Of age he was appointed
Assistant District Attorney for Erie
County. He held this position for three
years, during which time he displayed con-
siderable forensic ability and acuteness.
In 1865 Mr.. Cleveland was the Democratic
u
but was defeated by Lyman K Bass who
was afterward his partner. In 1868 he
became connected in the legal business
with A. P. Laning Oscar Folsom and j. Y.
Vsuderpoel.
1t was in 1870 that Grover Cleveland made
his debut in political circles. He was ia
that year rendered the nomination for
Sheriff of Erie County At first he hest
tated to accept It. but he finally made up
his mind TO take it and he was elected by
good majority. When his term of Office ex-
pired he returned to his law business but
he still had the political fever and took an
active interest In political affairs.
In 1881 he was chosen to head the Demo-
cratic ticket as Mayor Of Buffalo and was
elected by a handsome majority. His in
cumbency of the office was successful and
popular.
1t was in 1882 that the New York State
convention was held to select candidate
for the Office of Governor, and Grover
Cleveland was the nominee. His COM
petitor was Charles J. Folger, and in the
election the latter was beaten by majority
of 200 votes. Cleyeland's record as
Governor was good and on a par with his
administration of the affairs Of the munich
pality of Buffalo.
On the 11'h of July. 1884, he was nomi-
mated by the Democratic party as their
candidate for the Presidency, James G.
Blaine opposing him as the Democratic
nominee. Cleveland WAS elected, carrying
his own State by a small majority.
AS President his acts are pretty well
known. There were very few events OF
national Importance which occurred during
the four years that he was the Chief EXecu-
tive. In 1888 he ran against Mr.. Harrison,
but was defeated
Personally Mr.. Cleveland is reserved
man. During his administration lie some
times antagoniZed the leaders of his party,
but he always apparently had good reasons
for his actions. He Is man Of convictions,
and as President followed them out.

CHICAGO, June 22.-The first mention of
Cleveland's name in the platform brought
forth such applause as is seldom heard
in a national convention, but the feature Of
the demonstration was the fact that the
States which have heretofore given close
Democratic majorities were conspicuous by
their absence In the applause. The New
York delegation sat in a solid phalanx in
stern silence. and the great majority Of
the delegates from the States Of PeHnsyl-
vania, Wisconsin. Missouri, Montana. Ne
braska and Nevada did not join In the
cheering Perhaps one-half the entire num-
Der of delegates could be fairly counted as
joining the applause for the ex-President
a banner was brought into the hall by
the Michigan delegates with bust of
Grover Cleveland. Immediately afterward
came picture Of Horace Boies, and they
brought forth renewed cheering. at the
lowest estimate three-quarters OF the spec
tators favored the Cleveland hurrah. While
the uprOar was at its height the band
played Yankee Doodle" and there was an
increase in the volume of cheers.
John r. Walker of Missouri seized ban
ner bearing a portrait Of Cleveland and
marched around the hall with 1t, and it was
greeted with a burst of cheers like the
eruption of a volcano. After IL minutes
indeseribable tumult, an attempt was made
to call the convention to order, but the
troubled waters refused to be downed. a
portrait Of Hill was circulated in the crowd,
but 1t received slight attention. Twelve

which appeared to emanate from the neigh
borhood OF New York, but they we're over
