PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

The larger towns of Utica and
Syracuse, but without finding any
encouragement 1t was then that he
resolved to go to Cleveland, O.,
town named for one Of his family.
He stopped at Buffalo to see his uncle,
Lewis +. Allen, then and afterwards
we'll known farmer, who was engaged
in the compilation each year Of what
was known as "The American Short
Horn Herd Book The young man
was easily pursuaded to remain and as
sist his uncle, and SO gave up the trip
further West. 1t was this incident
that fixed his residence at Buffalo and
enabled him to make that city the
field of professional success and the
wonderful political career which
carried him within SO short time to
the highest office in the gift of his
countrymen. By the help Of his
uncle the young man was enabled to
get place as a student in the office of
Bowen & Rogers, then and subse-
quently one of the leading firms of
lawyers in the western part OF the
State of New York. Here he began
his legal studies.
In May, 1850, he was admitted to
the Bar. He did not Immediately
begin to practice law on bis own
account, but remained for four years
longer with his preceptors, finally
reaching the position OF chief clerk.
On the first Of January, 1868,
Grover Cleveland began his first
independent work in his profession by
leaving the Office of his preceptors and
accepting an Office which was legal as
we'll as political. He had been ap-
pointed Assistant District-Attorney of
Erie county. In order to do SO he gave
up his salary of 81 900 a year to accept
one of 5000. He was in no way
dissatisfied with his Office work or
unduly ambitious, but he saw that
place in his profession would be
reached much more quickly and surely
by the training and experience of such
a place.
1t was inevitable that young Cleve-
land should be drawn into politics by
his services as District Attorney.
From this time he came to be known

led to go for time to Baltimore,
Md, where for year he filled posi-
ton as tutor in private school. He
proceeded forthwith to fall in love
with Annie Neal, but, in spite of this
fact, as he had not yet perfected him
self in his theological studies, he left
bis lady-love behind him and entered
upon the study of theology in the
Seminary of Princeton. In 1929,
when twenty four years old, he returned
to Baltimore and he and Miss Neal
were married. They left there
Immediately and went to Windham,
Conn.,, where the young man had
been offered position as minister of
the Congregational Church.
In due time, with health restored,
he began to contemplate return to
the North, and upon the recommended
| ton of his old instructors at Princeton
he was appointed to the pastorate Of
the church in Caldwell, N. j., then, as
now, small village in Essex county
in that State. He bagan his work in
this new field just before Christmas,
1884, and in the parsonage attached
to this modest church Grover Cleve-
land was born on the 18th day of
March, 1887.
For many years preceding the
arrival of Richard F. Cleveland in
Caldwell, the pastor of the Presby-
terian Church had been man deeply
beloved by his congregation, and
whose death was greatly lamented-
Stephen Grover. In recognition Of
the good qualities of his predecessor
the child was given the name which
has now become famous. Even in his
later boyhood the name Stephen was
never used, and before he had arrived
at the years Of manhood he was
always known by his middle name.
The clergyman left Fayetteville in
1851.
Before leaving, Grover, then four
teen years old, had accepted place
as clerk in grocery store, in
Fayetteville, and so did not go i'm
mediately with the family to the new
home. He was able to command for
his services in this useful, but humble,
capacity, the large sum Of $50 year,

as a rising figure in Democratic
politics, and SO at the expiration of the
term of his superior officer, Cyrenius
G.. Torrance, it was natural that his
party should turn to him as candi-
date for District-Attorney. By this
time he had become we'll known and
popular in the county, and the Repub
licans recognized that in spite of their
great majority they had no easy task
to defeat him. At first their attention
was directed to lawyer then residing
in Erie county Horace Boics by
name. He was some years older than
Mr.. Cleveland, but in many respects
they much resembled each other.
After the managers cast about among
themselves they had concluded to give
the nomination to Boies, although he
was then comparatively unknown,
even much less SO than his opponent,
whose nomination was already as
sured. 1t was in this way that two
men now prominent in the councils of
the Democratic party-one of whom
was then a member of the opposing
party-came to know each other.
Thus it was that Grover Cleveland
came into contact with Horace Boies,
now and for some years tine Demo-
cratic Governor of Iowa. In 1856. Mr..
Cleveland was elected mayor Of Buff
falo. The following year he was
elected governor of New York State
and distinguished himself by vetoing
the bill enacted by his own partisans
in the Legislature to amend the charter
of the City of Elmira, and only a
little later he did the same thing with
the bill to amend the charter OF his
own city of Buffalo. He had been
succeeded by new mayor, who, of a
type different from himself, was quite
anxious to have something of partisan
glory and spoils. So bill was intro
duced and passed in the Legislature,
recognizing the Fire Department
In an elaborate message, vetoing thi:

with the promise of S1oo for the sec
ond year. A single year, however,
was sufficient, as the father at the end
of that time called his son home, in
order that he might begin his work in
the academy.
On rejoining his family at Clinton,
the lad entered the academy at that
place. In this institution he made
satisfactory progress in his studies and
expected in due time to enter Hamil-
ton College, where he would perfect
his educational training. But these
plans were never carried out, for in
September, 1858, the family moved
to Holland Patent, where the father
had received a call from the Presby-
terian Church. This was a little
town about fifteen miles from Utica.
Only three weeks after this removal,
on October I, 1858, Richard F.
Cleveland died and left his wife and
children to struggle with the world as
best they could. The mother rema ined
in Holland Patent and kept with her
such of her family as had not already
gone out into the world to make their
fortunes, and remained there until her
death in 1882, only few. weeks
before the nomination of Grover
Cleveland as the candidate for Gov
ernor of New York, and while he was
Mayor of Buffalo.
In the meantime the eldest son,
William, had obtained employment as
principal male teacher in the Institu-
ton for the Blind, in New York City.
The institution had at that time about
two hundred pupils. When the older
brother returned from the funeral OF
his father he arranged with the
trustees of the institution to give
employment to his younger brother,
Grover; and during the month OF
October, 1858, the latter assumed the
position Of book-keeper and assistant
to the superintendent of that institu-
| tion
In the autumn of 1854, the young
man began to think of making an
independent career for himself 1t
has already been seen that he had
formed his plans for becoming a
lawyer. He sought congenial work in

The first of the Cleveland name
known to this country was Moses
Cleveland, who came to Massachusetts,
in 1855 from Ipswich, in the county
OF Norfolk, England. The name was
then spelled "Cleaveland," the use
less ga having been dropped out by
some of his successors, although
several branches of the family COL
lateral to that to which the Presi-
dent belongs have maintained the use
of this additional letter. In about
two generations from the beginning
as was not uncommon in the records
of New England life-the ministerial
habit became fastened upon the Cleve-
land family, since which time there
has never been generation in which
one or more of the line was not a
minister of some one of the Protestant
churches. In one or two cases they
were Episcopalians, but in general
they took to Presbyterianism or to its
twin sister, Congregationalism.
In 1898 William Cleveland, the
grand father of Grover Cleveland-a
watch maker of the old fashioned
hard-working, careful kind, engaged
in business in Westfield, Mass.-was
married to Margaret Falley at Nor
wich, Conn. In the latter place the
young couple settled down to live, and
on June 10, 1905, there was born tc

OF the family that this young man
should become a minister. Accord

Norwich and there fitted for entrance
to Yale College, from which institu
ton he was graduated in 1924.
When he began to look about for a
place to practise his profession he wa:
