City for the practise of law. He was
not particularly active in politics after
his retirement.
II the meantime history was making.
Harrison and high tariff were in the
saddle. The Mckinley act of 1890, in
creasing the tariff on wool, tin plate
and other products, was followed by
high prices for the poor mans neces-
saries of life. Events rapidly were
shaping themselves toward a vindica-
ton of Grover Cleveland. The eX-
President attended to his law work,
and the people did the rest. With the
politicians, as of old, mostly in opposl-
ton, the independent Democratic vot-
ers forced the selection of Cleveland
delegates to the national Democratic
| convention of 1892, held in June. -Four
more years of Grover was the cam
| paign cry. Though the New York del
egation opposed him, Mr.. Cleveland
| was nominated for the Presidency the
third time in succession on the first
| ballot. President Harrison again was
his Republican opponent. Cleveland
was elected, receiving 2T7 electoral
votes against las for Harrison and q
for General Weaver, Populist.

discussion pro and con for man. years
following.
Mr.. Cleveland received the Demo-
cratic nomination for President in 1883,
but was defeated in the election by
Benjamin Harrison. of Indiana. Many
Democrats attributed his defeat to his
tariff message of 1887. After Mr..
Harrison's election and the consequent
TRADE of criticism from members of
the Presidents own party, Mr.. Cleve-
land sent forathe Speaker of the House
of Representatives, John G. Carlisle, a
Democrat, and said to him, IF every
other man in the country abandons
this issue, [ shall stick to it,"
Accordingly in the last messages OF
his term he "stuck to" his stand on the
tariff problem, urging Congress in 1885,
to enact laws in line with his sug-
| gestions of the winter before.

AGAIN CALLED TO THE
FIRST POST OF NATION.

A FTER an interim of -four years in
"a private life Grover Cleveland re-
turned to Washington and was
inaugurated President of the United
States on March 4, 1898, for the second
time. The Cleveland of 1893 was very
different from the Cleveland of 1885.
When he began his first term he was
altogether new to Washington and to
national politics. He was practically
an untried man in the wider field of
craftsmanship and was but just COM
pleting his 4Sth year. In 1898, at the
very mature age oe Sc, Mr.. Cleveland
had enjoyed a distinction unique in
American history-that of being elect
ed President, renominated and defeated
and again renominated and elected. He
had served one full term, with all the
experience in national and international
politics which that service entailed.
In another n more popularity inter-
esting sense the second advent of Cleve-
land was different. He was now a thor
ough family man. The Clevelands had
a baby, little Ruth, born in New York
October 8, 1891. Her death a few Years
after her parents retirement to Prince
ton, N. J., was a matter OF general re-
greet. Mrs. Cleveland during the second
term further endeared herself to the
American people.
Though Mr.. Cleveland never possessed
in a very appreciable degree that quail
ity which we. call personal magnetism
he was undoubtedly the most popular
American of his time when he began
his second term as President. When
he closed that term and retired per
= manently to private life he was one

" 4N
cept that @high political preferment"
which in the letter to his brother he
had declared was not in his head. The
great mass of the Democracy through
out the country believed that Cleve-
land was honest and that nothing could
turn him aside from a course which
he believed to be right. He was nomi-
mated for President at the Chicago con-
vention of 1884. his Republican OPP
ponent being James G. Blaine. Mr..
Cleveland received a small plurality of
the popular vote and an electoral ma
jority of thirty-seven. For the first
time since 1856 the Democratic party
had carried the presidential election.
A man who two years before was UNI
known beyond his own city and county,
a p~ainstaking, laborious lawyer, a pom
derous, heavy set "old bachelor" hao
entered the lists and swept to defeat
the .plumed knight" of twenty years
national srenown.

So 49,

/, 800 votes, Cleveland was elected mayor
by a majority of $3.50. Early in his
term he became known as 1.-THE veto
mayor" He vetoed many e~XtraVagant
appropriation bills and saved his city
at least 81. 900, 900.
The State of New York soon heard
much of this veto mayor. He had been
in office less than a year when the
Democrats nominated him for Gov
ernor. New York had not elected q
Democratic Governor sine before the
Civil War. The Republicans nominated
Charles J. Folger, Secretary of the
Treasury in President Arthur's cabi-
net. Mr.. Folger was regarded as a
particularly strong candidate, yet
Cleveland was elected Governor by a
plurality of 192,S54 over Folger, and by
a clear majority of 151t7i2 over all the
candidates.

lsnsorced ciyiI service Reform.

Just after he voted on election day he
wrote to his brother, the Rev. william
Cleveland:
IF mother were alive, l should be
writing to her, and l feel as if it We're
a time for me to write to some one
who will believe what l write. " .
l will tell you, first of all others the
policy I intend to adopt, and that is
to make the matter a business en-
gagement between the people and my
self, in which the obligation on my
side is to perform the duties assigned
me with an eye single to the interests
of my employers. 1 shall have no
Idea of reelection or of any high po-
litical preferment in my head, but be
very thankful and happy if 1 serve n
term as the peoples Governor. Do YOU
know that II mother We're alive l
should feel so much safer. l have al
ways thought that her prayers had
much to do with my successes. l shall
expect You to help me in that way"
Governor Cleveland was precisely
like Mayor Cleveland. He was a bust
ness Governor. 1t was said of him that
he ran the State as he would ave run
a railroad, mastering the details of the
business so that he could u it we'll.
The same writer declares that not
only preached economy, but he made
the State officials practise it. He
vetoed bills until the Legislators were
wild with rage. and he forced through
civil service reform.

Grover cleveland was cordially dis
liked by the politicians in his party.
But his reputation among the people
as a plain, practicable, businesslike
executive had grown so wide that in
the summer of 1884, before the expira-
ton of his gubernatorial term, there
was an insistent call for him to ac-
