martial of First Lieutenant James "

Sheridan today with Lieutenant Colonel
Samuel Overshine of the Fifteenth in
fantry presiding. Lieutenant Paddock
retired from service with an excellent
record as a soldier, and the fact that
he was to be court-martialed was
learned with regret by those who had
been his brother officers. Great secrecy
has been maintained concerning the
nature of the charges preferred against
him, but 1t is generally understood that
the lieutenant failed to pay his debts.
Lieutenant Paddock Is a resident of
Princeton, ILL.,, where his family occupy
an honored position in society He
graduated from West Point in 1877 and
soon after was assigned to the Fifth
cavalry and entered upon active service
in the west At the Thornburg massa-
ere. late in the seventies, Lieutenant
Paddock was seriously wounded. from
which he never fully recovered Owing

kept on sick leave until 1891, when
there was an opportunity to place him

about $4,000 has already been raised local

to permit local pride to stand between the
sufferers and outside generosity would be
a great injustice, and the contributions
from other points have therefore been &C
cepted. There are widows and dependent

money raised can not be too large. The

AN ANALYSIS
OF CLEVELAND

Senator Bfice, OF Ohio, was
interviewed few days ago on
politics and politicians by the
St. Louis Republic. and has this
70 say about Mr., Cleveland:
Glow about President Cleve
land? Will he be a candidate
for third terms''
q think not. / don't believe
he wants a third term, nor that
he would consent to have his
name presented to the conven-
ton for that purpose"
What is your estimate of
Clevelanda
Il think he is the greatest
statesman and party leader of
his time. He is one of the best
presidents We have ever had,
and he has made 4 great ad-
ministration. He has placed
the democratic party in a high
plane. and his democracy, his
honesty and his integrity are
unsurpassed in the history Of
our chief executives"
wherein is his chief element
of greatness!"
The desire to do the right
thing for the American people,
regardless Of consequence, and
the ability to pass qnick and
proper Judgment upon matters
as they come up lie has in a
marked degree the genius of
common sense, and also that
power OF continued attention 10
business which is one of The at
tributes Of genius itself"
"Then you do not consider
him an ego!ist-a great l am.
who considers no other thought
than his own."
No. President Cleveland is
not that kind OF a man, replied
Senator Brice. He has a mind
Of his own, and he acts upon it,
but ii the same time he advises
with others. and is careful and
conservative in his Judgment.
He is q student Of public opin-
ion, and he always wants TO
know the sentiment of the peo-
pie before he decides"
