the man who made the day immortal.
From jefferson to Jackson our presI-
dents were men OF
The Highest Character;
but none touched the popular heart.
none could in any sense of the word lie
n republican leader From jackson on
to Lincoln. that was a succession OF able
presidents. and from Lincoln to Cleye-
land. no popular leader may be sad to
have Deer submit that the quality
of Jefferson and jackson, which reap
npared in Abraham Lincoln, land which is
nossessed by Cleveland is good. 1t was
not in the acts dOne-n0t III the utteI-
ancps made. for no four men were less
alike in all Of these-but 1t was IN inc

that those opinions and acts ana utter

president in doing whatever is neces-
sarv tn make changes with as little de-
law as little compulsion and with as
loval intelligence as possible. 10
Cleveland has come the opportunity OF

Like Jefferson,
to re-establish the principles of the con-

mowers of his office to carry out the VIII

without personal prejudice or passion
MS the leader of all the Democrats,
~ the chosen chief of great and sue
ccssFul party, and thereby be president
of the whole people. He has been
trusted because he was believed to be as
brave and as just as Jackson ana tC
hold opinions like those OF Jefler-
son, and with confidence both his
party and the country, await his &C
