The death Of ex-President Grover
Cleveland brings to a sudden end the phe-
nomenal career OF one Of the strongest
characters known TO the political world
during the past generation. Like every
commanding figure. he had jealous SUD-
porters and earnest opponents. but those
who differed from him were as ready as
his warmest friends 10 concede 10 him the
possession Of elements Of leadership to an
extraordinary degree
He was deliberate in action. firm in
conviction, and ever ready TO accept re-
sponsibility for what he did. Few men
have eNerted a more positive influence
upon those associated with them We
are not far enough from the period In
which his work was done to measure
accurately his place in history. but the
qualities which made him great are a
