courage and the ferocity that made him an
irresistible antagonist in his prime.
Making the best use Of the gifts with
which nature had endowed him in his early
youth, he rose to the very first rank in his

him, great men were proud to take him by

TILE NEXT PRESIDENT

A writer in the AAantie Monthly has set
up an ideal for she next Presidency. He
wants President who shall be 10 advance
Of his party and lead to the adoption OF
new issues and those which conform TO the
more progressive opinion Of the times
This implies a man Of an individuality that
shall dictate in our political affairs, rather
than conform To the positions laid down by
Others. To make this condition concrete
would be to elect President Of the stamp
OF jackson or Of Cleveland Each of these
Presidents has had will Of his own, aside
from that Of his party. In the case OF Jack
son, II was an earnest and stubborn, rather
than an enlightened will, but was will,
nevertheless, that had much Of the temper
that in the formation OF the government
was intended to be embodied 10 the presi.
dental office. In that OF Cleveland, there
is no kind Of doubt that il has been mani.
tested in way that made the nation feel the
safer with him in the presidency.
President Cleveland has been Of mmeas.
urable advantage as a bulwark against per
nicious legislation on silver. A strong Dem
ocratic partisan, he has yet bad views on
this point that have never yielded a particle
70 rartisanship. He has stood between the
nation and dangerous legislation here, when
his own party was more infected with the
heresy that il embodied than was the oppo.
sition. His administration is a striking illus
tratIon Of the protection that such as this
Atlantic Monthly writer would have elected
can afford. In all the disgust felt toward
Congress there has been firm faith that no
dangerous silver legislation could go into
law while Cleveland was President. This
has been safeguard that has steadied the
business Of the country in the face o. all
changes.
