and Ills single Purpose—How
the Renomlnatlou is Falling
Into His Lap.
YVveBiMiToN, May 14.—Cleveland
has changed and upset Washington
as generally as a first class cyclone
could change nnd upset it in the
same length of time. The devasta
tion which he has wrought was also
folly as unexpected as a cyclotje.
He did not, it is true, come unobserv
ed. The citizens all saw him ap
proach their devoted town'. But no
one thought of burying himself in a
dug out. The cloud was not larger
than a man’s hand, not larger, in
deed, than the silver letter to
al Adoniram Jndson Warner and the
offensive partisan lette? to Dr. Geo.
William Curtis. All the old inbabi
tante were sure that they had weath
ered bigger storms than this sign
foretold. Hence the town unard
mouslv concluded to take the strang
er in acd to ran him to suit the pre
vailing taste.
To paraphrase, however, the obser
vation that out of town contempora
ries are moved to make about othir
happenings in the uncertain month
of March, the visitor came in iike a
lamb but hung on like a lion. He
has demolished all the godB before
him, levelled every landmark and
abolished the past. No imagination
commanded by man can
identify this newcomer with any
thing that ever happened before he
himself happened. No stretch of
circumstantial evidence can assign
him a part in the issues that made
the war or the issues made by the
war. Who knows what he thought
of slavery, its extension, restriction
or abolition! Who knows what he
thought of reconstruction? Who
knows, even, what he thought of
greenbacks, fiatisin or specie resump
tion? How can anybody find cut
what his attitude was towards Bu
chanan’s, Lincoln’s, -J jimson’s,
Grant’s, Hayes’, Garfield’s or Ar
thur’s administrations?
They can’t do it, yon know.
We simply know of Lis altitude to
wards his own administration, and
it alone has won him all the
PRAISE AND BLAME
that aic due him.
No other President since he was
born has had his own way so entire
ly. He has pulled the partisan faDgs
out of the opposition Senate and
taken the reluctant and doubting
House under his arm. The general
ly turbulent and unruly larger
branch of Congress never behaved
better than it is behaving this sea
sion, when the President’s influence
is supreme and his connection close.
His enemies in the party that he
has transformed cannot find a rival
to ral’y around. The suggestion
any other name for the head of the
Democratic ticket of 1888 is
ly recognized as no lees ridiculous
than the mention of bis own
for the place wqpUl have been in the
Cincinnati Convention of 1880. The
President elected in that year, und
who took bis oath of oflica on the
eastern steps of tbo Capitol, March
4, 1881, died without ever having
heard the name of the man who
would deliver the next inaugural.
Ingalls declares that Cleveland is
more phenomenal than Napoleon.
He certaiuly beats tho fables. He is
ft precedent unto himself. A search
warrant would not reveal a tradition
on his person.
What wonder is it then that Wash
ingtoti is bewildered? Men are con
tinually coming from the outside
country in scutch cf high infotma
tion from this rare point of observa
tion. •
But they don’t get it.
F They do learn from what they sec
hero that tho obvious surface view
is the only view. They find nothing
deep or cunning among the poiili
cians of the place. They find every
body vainly looking for the kitchen
cabinet or political directory that
Presidents and Presidential enndi
dates buve always had.
* They see Washington beating
about helplessly, under tho shadow
of the strongest and the grimmest
personality of recent times.
They see the old stageis heie afoot
and a good deal dazed. To these
latter it seems ns if the strange man
on top had eyon swallowed the points
of the political compass, and plucked
the north star for his shirt bosem.
So all wait on him while he waits
on himself,
WITHOUT A CONFIDANT
and a counsellor as surely as he is
without a master. H’s indifference
*to the town is unconcealed. Indeed
he has not shown himself to be a
man of hatreds, but Lis indifference
can be profound. The big men and
the little men go by him without
leaving any more impression than if
they were an unending torchlight
procession and all the torches burn
ing with equal brightness. Here
and there a man is nicked out for
some public service—a chief justice
ship or a third class pos!mastership
—not because he is liked, however,
but because he is handy; a round peg
for a round hole or a squire peg
for a square hole. It is a purely
business matter. Tho President's
personal interest never appears. He
is simply the people's hired man,
with a job on his hands so big that
it takes all his tune. When tbo treas
ury clerk goes to his desk in the
morning the President is aireidy at
work, wLen he goes Lome in tbo
