limits. John b. Folsom died in the latter
part of the year 1886, and after providing
by his last will and testament for the sup

what he thought was right.
His courage was another very notable
characteristic. During the riots in Chicago
his action in sending federal troops to the
scene illustrated this fact. Never before
had federal troops been sent into a state
except at the request of the governor.
Altgeldt was governor of Illinois and he

no riot in Chicago. The mob was burning
railroad cars and interfering with inter
state commerce. There was the ground
for sending in the troops. At first C1eve-
land did not see his way clear. He was
not sure he had the right to send in the
troops. The attorney general sat UP with
him all night calculating the legal side of
the problem. And the moment Cleveland
was convinced he had the right to send
