D ENJAMIN HARRIsON's admins.

- tration proved to be only an in
termission between the two acts of the
Cleveland drama. History gives but
a passing glance at the one president
whose predecessor became his success
or, who had to give up the presidential
chair to the man he took it from.
Although Harrison had more brains
than Cleveland, Cleveland had larger
nature, and that is what counts most
in the leadership of men.
Notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison
was the grandson Of a president, in
whose house he was born, his father
was poor and the boy was brought up
plainly.
Graduating from small Ohio COL
lege, Harrison married at twenty the
girl to whom he engaged himself at
eighteen, and they went to housekeep-
ing in little three-room cottage in
Indianapolis. He was not admitted to
the bar until after his marriage, and
the first money he ever made was as
a court crier at $3.50 day. Later on
he helped out his lean practice with
his salary as clerk of the supreme
court of the state. Then came the
Civil war, in which he served gallantly
as a colonel and marched with Sher-

There had been only ore marriage

NTO OTHER isan has stepped so
IN quickly from cbscurity to the
presidency as Grover Cleveland. When
Garfield stood on the steps Of the cap
itol to be inaqgurated he never had
heard the name OF this Buffalo attor-
ney, who was to stand - the same
place four years afterward.
At forty-fve Cleveland remained I'M
known outside his county. At forty
seven he was in the White House.
1t was meteoric rise. Yet this man
was no meteor. SLOW Of mind, with a
narrow range Of reading and Of intel
lectual interests, Cleveland was stolid
in manner and without brilliant quail
tiles. But ne had a character as rug
gcd and immovable as mountain. It
had been built up in rural parsonages,
where his father, Presbyterian min
lister, was required to rear I large fam
lily and set an example to the conlmu-
nifty on 5000 a year.
For more than quarter Of a cen
tury he plodded along in Buffalo, q
quiet, trusted, but not distinguished
lawyer. Unmarried and without family
or home, he took no part in the So
cial life of his community, where 100
other Buffalonians may have been bet
ter known to their fellow-townsmen.
He had been an assistant district at
torneya of Erie county and also its
sheriff. The first that was ever heard

of lin. outside. his neighhorhcod were
his sledge-hamner vetoes from the
mayors Office only two years before his
election to the presidency. The whole
state of New York stopped to listen
to his resouading whacks and next the
whole country took notice.
The sudden, the theatrical rise Of
The man was not a mere caprice, a
blind sIrcke Of luck. On the contrary,
lie was nominated and elected presi-
dent because he was the logical, coEa-
nonsense choice; because this TN
known, u0amhitious lawyer Of Buffalo
had become in two swift years the
most conspicuous embodiment OF the
things that tie times called for-inoe-
nendence il politics and higher
standard of conduct in office.
Here was man VINO was to make
his own preceGents, a man Who was
to care for nothing that had hap
pened before he happened. The 1rst
president after the. Civil war to have
had no part in that strife, he was With
out a political past, and his face was
turned wholly to the future.
He struck diSrnay to the greedy
hopes of the Democrats, after their
long wandering in wilderness Wlih-
out spoils, by announcing that he.
would let the Republican of:ce-hold-
ers finish their terms, with the eA-
ception OF those who had been gGiity
of offensive portisanshir.' Wen
the Republican senate attempted TO
interfere with such removals as he
did make, he objected to the revival
of an old statute "aEj1r 81 existence
of nearly 20 years Of almost iG1ocu-
GUS desuetude" This phrase was 100
much for the senators, and the act W;>s
repealed.
AT last Cleveland deliberately sec
rifced himself fQr The sake OF plain
speaking. The prospects Of ElS re
election were bright. His native con
servation had 3aaGe hiln q f&Torile
in the great financial ce%ters Of New
York. and the ai;-pGwe2 III business
interests OF the c"mtTT were salts

man to the sea. Afterward he rose
to high and prosperous rank in the
practice of law.
The only political office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was q seat in the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that body
in the year before he was elected pres
jdent, he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
nresident-elect, and he frankly de.
scr;bed himself as "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file Of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1883 was Blaine. But he
was not we'll, and he refused to make
contest for the nomination. At last
he cabled from Scotland: ''Take Har-
r;s0n." And the convention indiffer-
emily took him.
The more notable events Of the Har-
rison administration--the Mckinley
tariff act; the silver act, which more
than doubled the purchase of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
law on the subject of trusts; the de-
pendent pension act, and the first Pan
American congress-hardly belong in
this little story, because none OF them
originated with the president himself.
He did not rise to leadership, and con-
gress took the reins. All the while he
sat in the White House in cold aloof-
ness.
With the cry Of "God help the sur
plus!' the Republicans gave the com
try in Harrison's administration the
first "billion-dollar congress- the ap-
preparations for the two-year term rls-
ing to that unprecedented total. 10
the popular protest Speaker Reed re-
torted: "This is a bilIion-dollar coun-
try" But the country did not feel rich
enough to pay the higher tariff rates
of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional elec-
tons in 1890. Of course anyone who
had anything to sell seized upon the
excuse to mark up prices. The shop
ping women" rose in their fury at the
higher cost of living, and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
in the house.
That was the forerunner Of a still
greater political overturn in the presi-
Dental election in 1892, when Harrison
went down under a sweeping victory
for Cleveland.

ROVER CLEVELAND had no
VI more than left the presidency in
defeat and settled down to the prac-
tice of law in New York City than it
was seen that he was still almost as
much the leader of the Democratic
party as when he was in tce White
House.
In the four years of his retirement,
he seldom saw party leaders. Yet so
strong was the reaction against the
Republicans and so LOUD the call for
him in 1892 that he returned in tri-
umph to the White House.
One Of the periodical panics of the
10TH century smote the country with a
financial and industrial paralysis In
1893, only two. months after the in
auguration. AS usual, the party in
power caught the blame, AID day after
day a leading Republican newspaper
shouted in gleeful headlines: "Another
bank gone Democratic"
AS the first means of restoring con-
fidence, Cleveland called special ses-

sion of congress for the purpose Of
having it repeal the Silver act OF the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself to the surgeons
knife for the removal Of cancerous
ulcer which had appeared in the roof
of his mouth. His grave physical con-
diticn was concealed from the panicky
mind of the public and the operation
was performed in the closest secrecy
aboard a yacht as it steamed slowly up
the East River, off New York. Not un-
til many years had passed was 1t
known that when congress assembled
he faced it with rubber jaw.
Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed, but only
after bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hopelessly split. The
passage of tariff bill divided the par
ty still more. It was such lobby
made. log-rolling measure that Cleve-
land refused to sign it, but let it be-
come law without his signature. After
that tie Democrats went down in de-
feat In the congressional elections of
1894.
In the depth of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message to congress. LII
it he announced that the British gov
ernment had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration Of a land dispute
which it was pressing in South Amer
ica, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves should decide the question
and then proceed to- enforce our de-
ciSion. ."
Stocks tumbled headlong in Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both sides Of the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
reassured his troubled private secre-
tary, "Thurber, this does not mean
war; it means arbitration" And that
was the outcome Of all the hubbuD.
Cleveland's outburst Of plain speaking
had the effect Of awakening tie Eng
lish people, as never before, to the val
ue of American friendship, and it
opened a new era in the relations OF
the two governments.
Cleveland's hardest, longest battle In
his second administration was for the
gold standard. Almost alone ne upheld
it through four years, abandoned by
most of the Democrats and unaided by
the gold Republicans in congress, WHO
were afraid of hurting the party"
with the silver people. / -:---
