THE NEW ERA,
Dallas, Ga.
Ex-Prcsidcnt Cleveland Dead.
Grover Cleveland, the only
living ex-president, c\ied at. his
home in Princeton, N. J., on the
the morning June 24th. He had
been for some time in declining
health, but death was not expect
ed so suddenly.
His death removes from the
stage one of the most conspiciu-
ous characters that has lived in
our generation. He was the ou-
ly democrat that had been presi
dent since the war.
President Cleveland has been
unmercifully assailed by sore
heads who failed to make good
during his administration. But
when the stnoke of battle has
entirely cleared awav he will
stand above his critics. He was
in sympathy somewhat unduly,
perhaps, with the negro race, but
we think he was honestly seeking
their good for which we shouldn’t
blamo him. Leaving the negro
out of it he was a democrat of no
small calibre. Coming up from
a poor boy he made good at ev
ery position. Wherever he was
found ho performed his duty
faithfully. When lie was elected
president he made many politi
cians mad because he let the oc
cupants of tmn^y subordinate of
fices hold them because of their
competency. On the other hand
he turned out many fourth class
post masters who had secured
their places through party ma
chinery without regard to fitness.
He vetoed many bills. So
many that lie might aptly be
called the veto president. He
was a hard woraer, slow to reach
a decision, but when once reach
ed, lie could not be changed. Ilis
declining years were practically
spent in writing books on ques
tions of state and citizenship.
In spite of critics and criti
cisms lie will go down in luslorv
as one of our greatest presidents.
