An Appreciation Of the Late Ex-Presi.
dent Grover Cleveland.

An Appreciation Of the Late Ex-Presl
dent Grover Cleveland.
The qualities which made Presi-
lent Cleveland powerful element in
the life OF the nation, one of our exc
cutiyes of highest accomplishment
and influence, have been appreciated
more and more widely during his lat
er years, and were generously ex.
pressed by opponents as we'll as by
allies on the occasion of his death.
In addition to this, there has been
a growing sense of the disinterestef.
ness of his character and of the deep
sincerity OF his patriotism. He had
lived to see his own traits of indus
try in the public service. his frank
ness, dauntless bravery and complete
incorruptibility, become accepted
standards Of comparison as to politi.
cal aspirants and public servants. To
say of a public man that he had some
of the sturdy traits of Cleveland has
long been a valued form of praise.
Then, too, there has been a genuine
appreciation of the quiet dignity OF
bearing, in retirement, of one who
was for years the country's only ex.
President. The sorrow at his death
was sincere and widespread, and was
far from being confined to those who
had been his political supporters; the
country was felt to have lost a great
conservative force, a personality that
told for judgment. steadfastness and
profound sense Of public duty. The
impression of his character and ca
reer extended to foreign nations. and
found expression in the tributes Of the
world.
To the circle of his personal
friends Mr. Cleveland stood for all the
great qualities from which grew his
distinguished acts; but in private life
he was so different a man from what
many imagined the, stern. courageous
statesman to be, that it will probably
be long before all the lineamentS OF
his portrait will be familiar to his
fellow-countrynen He who could
stoutly resist private appeal and pub
lie clamor, when duty and conscience
We're involved, was one of whom 1t
might be said that he had genius
for championship. The sweetness, the
gentleness, the tenderness, of a strong
nature. are things that must be seen
near To be thoroughly understood,
aud, which thus seen, have very
great and poignant attraction.
There is distinct vacancy in our
public life when towering person.
atty such as ex-President,s dis
appears from view, and generations
may pass before just such figure
looms again. But when man like
Grover Cleveland-the neighbor, the
companion, she friend-passes away,
there is q void in many hearts that
can never, in this life. be filed again.
