Why Cleveland is Liked.

The American people, as a people,
admire courage, and courage is what
Mr.. Cleveland never failed to display
whenever the need arose. Sometimes
he was right and sometimes he was
wrong, but right or wrong, he stood
like rock on his convictions.
When Chicago was in danger in 1894
he acted with as little thought of the
political effect as did Grant in 1871.
When the majority of his party in 1896
repudlated what he regarded as the
fundamental principles of democracy,
he stood like q rock on those princi-
pies, although in SO doing he sacrificed
the leadership and lost host of politi.
cal friends.
Mr.. Cleveland never has retreated
under fire. He never has compromised
with what he believed to be wrong.
He has stood by his convictions. He
is standing by his convictions today
without regard to his own or any other
mans political interests or ambitions
Mr.. Cleveland is, in short, the high
est type of the American man of at
fairs, and as such Chicago gives hin
hearty and friendly greeting. Chicago
