was seen that he was still almost as
much the leader of the Democratic
party as when he was In the White

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 s1note the country with
financial and industrial paralysis in

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 a cancerOus
ulcer which had appeared in the roof
of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind of the public, and the operation
was performed in the closest secrecy
aboard yacht as it steamed slowly up
the East River, off New York. Not un-
til many years had passed was 1t
known that VIXEN congress assembled
he faced it with a 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the Silver act was repealed.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 1t, but let it be-
come law without his signature. After
that the 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. In
it he announced that the British gov.
eminent had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration Of land dispute
which it was pressing In South Amer
lea, 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
treasured his troubled private secre
tary, "Thurber, this does not near
war; 1t means arbitration" And thai
was the outcome of all the hubbub
Cleveland's outburst Of plain speaking
had the effect Of awakening the Eng
