GROVER CLEVELAND.

AVe'l Bone, Good and Faithful Servant. [From the Memphis Avalanche.] Grover Cleveland’s administration may be summed up in a word as the purest and best the country has seen for twenty years. [From Harper’s Weekly.] No Democrat' for a half-century has done so much to redeem the Democratic name and fortune as Mr. Cleveland, and he retires with the cordial respect of a vast body of bis countrymen for his patriotic purpose, his integrity, aid his courage. [From the Brooklyn Eagle.] Whether we agree or not in respect to the measures of Mr. Cleveland’s administration, it seems to us that when histpry comes to make up its account of it, and when tbe asperities which interfere with a correct judgment have been softened down there will be a general consensus of opinion that it was diiected by a man of Spartan fortitude, high ideals, unselfish aims, patriotic devotion, spotles integrity, and true-Americanism. [From the Burlington (Iowa) Gazette.] To Mr. Cleveland the Democratic party owes much. He has removed mnch of the prejudice that survived against the name; he has broken up sectional lines; he has buried the old war issues; and he has formulated and declared the principles under which the party is to stand and fight until it wins victory. Through him the country and the world have been convinced of the patriotism and honeßtv of intention of the Democratic party, and he has set an example of cleanness aud purity in office to which Democrats may for all time point with pride.
