GROVER CLEVELAND.

Ex-President Brousrht Into Prominence by Reorganization Talk. The defeat of William Jennings Bryan at the recent election has led many Democrats to declare that there must be a reorganization of the party to insure its continuance as one of the great elements of American politics. Various plans are suggested and many names are brought forward of probable leaders in the rehabilitation. In this talk of rebuilding by the conservative wing of the party the name of Grover Cleveland figures most prominently. The man who dominated the party of Jackson and Jefferson from 1884 to ltjJtti still has a host of admirers who believe that he can best formulate policies for a reorganised Democracy, and that under his leadership new victories may he achieved; —‘—' The ex-President himself is silent. He

has no comment to make on Bryan’s defeat; no prophesies to publish. From the classic environments of Princeton, where the former head of the nation has for the past few years enjoyed all the happiness that a cultivated wife, four bright children and a luxurious home can give a man, there conies no voice of acquiescence iu this scheme of reorganization. But newspaper reporters who are in touch with Cleveland’s dose friends assert that the ex-President is not averse to re-entering public life. But whether" or not he returns to active politics, Grover Cleveland will always remain one of the most interesting and remarkable figures iu American history.
