Grover Cleveland. the twenty-sec.
ond and twenty-fourth president Of the
United States, was born March IS,
1887, In Caldwell. N. J. His family
came from England and settled in
Massachusetts, in the early part of the
seventeenth century. His father was
q physician and had been ordained as
q minister and married the daughter
of a Baltimore merchant, who had
come from Ireland. In 1871 the Cleve-
land family removed to- Fayetteville.

his first schooling. and where later at
an early age he served as clerk in
a small country store. Still later.
when his parents settled in Clinton,
N. Y, he pursued his studies further.
and when only II he was appointed as
sistant teacher in the New York in
stitution for the blind. In 1855 Cleve-
land assisted his uncle, Lewis F. Al

period he served a elerkship with the

Cleveland began to read law. He was

; Denver, Colo.-This city took tts
last political slumber for at least q
fortnight to come. The democratic

vention left for a pleasure trip into

cratic national convention.
There were more departures of poll
ticians Sunday than there were arriv-
ais and consequently there was dearih
Of happenings in the political sense.
The out-and-out Bryan men were
highly pleased over the easy manner,
in which Theodore A. Bell of Califor-
MIA was named temporary chairman.
There were reports before Mr.. Bell
had been selected that fight was to
be made on him by Thomas Taggart,
chairman of the national committee,
and Roger C. Sullivan, the national
committeeman from Illinois, but the
promised struggle did not materialize
and the wishes of Mr.. Bryan regarding
Mr.. Bell were carried out without a
sign or sound OF dissent. This fact
was taken by the Bryan men to mean
that all opposition to the wishes of
their leader had disappeared, ar at least
will be of only comparatively slight in
fluence throughout the convention.
They are now counting confidently on
the selection of Henry D. Clayton of
Alabama for permanent chairman, as
sorting that it will be brought about
as easily and with no more opposition
than was that of Mr. Bell at the meet
ing Saturday.
No particular opposition has been
made to Mr.. Clayton and there is no
present signs of any fight against
him. Other names have been men
toned, but none from the south save
that of Senator Joseph w. Bailey Of
Texas. and 1t seems to be practically
certain that he will not be able to at
tend the convention because Of i'll
health. 1t is said that Mr.. Bryan de-
sires a permanent chairman from the
south, and the Bryan men believe that
with Senator Bailey eliminated, no
man other than Clayton will be con-
sidered.
Very little talk has so far been
heard concerning the platform, but 1t
is generally believed among the re-
cognized leaders here that the fight
over the injunction" plank in the
republican resolutions committee may
find parallel when the democratic
platform builders are fairly at work. It
is generally understood that in the
event of the Bryan people securing
control Of the resolutions committee,
the declaration of principles will fol-

Events Of political importance so
far have been few. Not a single
