WASHINGTON. May 2s.-!The sorrow felt by
the people of Washington on account of Judge
Greshams death is more profound and sincere
than Is usual when a public man dies. His
enemies among the politicians In both parties
were numerous. His action in accepting Office
under tho Cleveland Administration and tho
Widespread unpopularity of his foreign policy
alienated him from many Of his od-time Re-
publican friends and admirers. Republican
leaders have been angry at him ever since he
deserted the party, and the Democratic leaders
have mistrusted him. Personally, however, no
was generally popular, and his many good quail
ties were universally recognized. That he was
brave honest. generous. and kindly. everybody in
Washington who was brought into contact with
him was ready to admit, and his simple and
homely habits of life and unpretentious manner
were tolerated good-naturedly by members of
the diplomatic corps. They all had n special
iohuhess iof t"I' oiosh"ni' othoukh they oc-
casionally induiged In quiet laugh at the
Secretary OF States frequent disregard Of tho
eracting formalities of diplomatic etiquette.
During the entire time no was q member Of
President Clevoland's Cabinet Secretary Gresh-
am and his wife lived at o hotel, and thero they
gave their state dinners and receptions. Judge
Gresham disliked formal affairs, however. He
was fonder Of quiet game Of cards with such
family friends as happened to call at his modest
apartments during the evening. 1t was his habit
TO sit in the public corridors OF the hotel for
hour or 80 after dinner, smoking . cigar and
laughing and chatting with anybody who
chanced to greet him. This free and =
easy Democracy was 30 different from
what Is usual among Cabinet officers
In Washington that it was a subject of general
comment This, however, never seemed to
cause the slightest ANNOYANCE to the Secretary
of state. He was hard and constant worker.
Al and during the hot days laws Of M 1893 % and Iss. whom
Congress was In session, he often worked at his
desk with his coat thrown over the hack of a
chair and the door OF the room wide open. The
Secretary never apologized for his attempt to be
comfortable and it is said that on ono occasion
he received TWO representatives OF foreign
legation without taking the trouble to don his
coat or remove ms ieet from tne WINDOW seat
Hewas much addicted to the American habit of
nrivncv nf his rooms at The hoteI in tho svening
