THE Green Bay Gazette of Saturday
last has manly editorial on Grover
Cleveland. 1t was in reply to criticism
that that paper was not disposed to do
justice to Cleveland for the good he did.
The Gazette takes occasion to deny this
and makes its denial emphatic by paying
deserved tribute to the ex-president for
his moral and intellectual force, while
admitting disagreement on many public
questions. How much more sensible this
course than the prefunctory structures
of some newspapers which think parts.
