CleTelantPs Modernity**111$ Patriotism 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.

Although a thoi*/Ugh believer in himself he has never been guilty of displaying or betraying tho least bit of cheap vanity.
