Secretary Gresham Talks Like a
Democrat.
ISt. Louis Republic. |

The question has often been asked
since the installation of the present
administration if Judge Gresham had
really become a Democrat or was
serving the present administration be-
cause of his personal belief in the
patriotism and honesty of President
Cleveland. To-day Senator Vest, ol
Missouri, called on the Secretary ol
State. Gresham and Vest are old and
very warm personal friends. They
had not met since the day before the
Democratic national convention al
Chicago, when Senator Vest in pass
ing through Chicago called upon
Gresham and lunched with him.. To-
day, when the Missouri Senator called
at the State Department to see Mr.
Gresham, the Secretary grasped his
hand warmly and said
Vest, when we last met at Chicago,
before the meeting of the national
convention, you little thought that
when we next met l would be Demo
cratic cabinet officer at Washington. "
"That is so,' said Vest; 81 always
knew that your associations were
Democratic, that you thought like a
Democrat and talked liked Demo
crat. l did not think you would be
in so soon, but l am glad to see
you
"Well, Vest," said he, "here l am,
and l am the best Democrat in Wash
ington."
This declaration it is to be pre-
sumed settles Mr.. Gresham's status.
He reinforced the declaration little
later when Hon. w. L. Wilson, of
West Virginia, called upon him.
Wilson and Gresham had never met
before and the brilliant West Virginian
was introduced by Mr.. Gresham's
private secretary. Judge Gresham
said
"Mr. Wilson, while l have never
met you before, l sat within two or
three feet Of you when you delivered
your speech at the national convention
on taking the chair. l agreed with
every word you said then and | am
perhaps ready to go little further
now"
If Judge Gresham believed every
word that Mr.. Wilson said in his
speech on taking the chair at the
national convention it is entirely safe
to say that he is Democrat good
enough to serve as Secretary of State
in Democratic administration.
