some ol its aspects it was a presi

increased in intensity, and no effort
that gave hopes of success were spar
ed by the opposing party managers.
"The defection from his ranks b
what in campaign publications of th

[ A Judge of Men.
"When first nominated for tin
presidency, Mr. Cleveland had litth
personal knowledge of public mei
[ outside i?t' his own State. Ilow rapid
ly lie aci|uired the inl'onnation nee
essary In a successful adiuinistratioi
nl' the government was indeed a mar
vcl. It was in* 'Cleveland luck' o
haphazard chance that called int?
his first cabinet such men as Bayard
Manning, (iarland, Vilas, Lamon
and Whitney. It can safely he as
sertcd that Mr. Cleveland was an ex
eellent judge of men and of their ea
pacity for the particular work assign
cd them. As if by intuition he tlior
oughly understood after a single in
Icrview the men with whom In- wa:
brought in contact.
"As an object-lesson a belter ap
point men! to high ollice has rareh
been made than thai of Fuller lo I Ik

No less fortunate was his selection o
\ ilas 1 > the responsible position o
postmaster general. And yet boll
of these geiillcmcn were personal!;
strangers to Mr. Cleveland, when In
was lirst named for the presidency
Mis appointments to important diplo
malic positions likewise slrikinglv il
lustraled his aptness in forming ;
correct estimate of the men I'ron
whom his appointees were to h<
chosen.
"No incumbent of the presideuc;
was ever less of a time-server thai

word scarcely known to his vocabnl
ary. hYcognizing alike the dignit'
1 and responsibility of the great of
lice, he was in the highest degre
I <elfreliant. None the less lie a! al
times availed himself of the -vis
counsel ot his official advisers. Ii
matters tailing within their cspeeia
province their determination was, ex
ccpt in rare instances, conclusive. Ii
no sense was his mind closed agaius

. and how this cry increased in voic
, and volume until the close of the pre>
dienlial contest.
"And yet, in sending this messag

bearing upon existing conditions and
that might aid in the solution of the
i; ever-recurring problems confronting

tut ion was in very truth 'the man of
t his counsel,' and in my opinion, no
- statesman in anient or modern times
- so challenged his profound admira
tion as did James Madison.
''Mr. Cleveland was sociable in the
- bes| sense of that word, and the cares
- ol Slate laid aside, in the company of
s friends, he was the exceedingly agreeable
companion. While by no means
- lite best of story-tellers himself, he
*' had a keen appreciation of the hu- ;
[! morons and ludicrous phases and inci..
dents of life. 1 will not soon forgot
f an evening I spent with him in comf
pany wilh Governor James I'roe lor
i Knoll, of Kentucky. The greatest
1 slory-leller of the age was at hi.?
2 hc.-l. and the delight of the oocas
ion was, as Cleveland declared, "be
- voiul expression."
"More than once I have been a
i guest in his home. During the cam- I
i paign of 1S02, when his associate up-I
s on the national ticket, I spent some!
