By common consent Mr.. Gresham has
cone to be regarded as about the weakest
man who ha. been ut the head Of the state
department since the foundation of the
government. People are now beginning TO
ask themselves what basis Walter 5. Ores
ham ever had upon which to found sub
stsntial reputation. His qasllty as Judge
i shown by the fact that his last four de-
cisi,ns in his former Judicial capacity have
been over-ruled by the supreme conrt. He
has shown little political stability. He woul
have been glad indeed to have received the
Re 9ubliean nomination when Harrison was
first nominated. After the lstter's secoud
nomination Judge Gresh ,m devoted a con
.ijershle amount OF time coqnetting with
the Populists, and the impression was quite
general that he would be the presidential
nominee. Later he turned up as mem.
Der Of the Cleveland cabinet. His appear
ance in the role of sponsor for the Cleve-
land Hawaiian infsmy gave the people hi,
true measure. He will be remembered IN
years to come only for his unsavory eon-
uection with that COW arlly and unAmeri-
can policy.
