Part III. Lattcr Years, ! ROM the beginning Oleveland had clashed with Congrees, vetoing mamy of that body’s pet bills, following what he thought to be the best inte» ests of the country, without the least regard for mere political expe | dlence or outside influence. In his first term the Democrats were in power |1n the House of Representatives, but the Senate was Republican. When he jentered on his second term both houses of Congress were Democratic. Yet the discord grew worse. The President vetoed bills right and left, ap- | pointed Walter Q. Gresham, a Republican, for Secretary of State, and fafled jin other ways to follow out the programme laid down for him by the heads [of his party. Altogether he found himself on bad terms with many power | ful Democrats. | During Harrison’s administration a treaty had been drawn up annexing | Hawall. Cleveland sought to check this move and to restore the Hawaiian Queen, Lilluokalani, to her throne. This attitude aleo marred his popu- | larity, and public sentiment at last led him to give up the idea. He further disappointed his adherents by not following their wishes in regard to quick and drastic tariff revision. In 1898 came a serious panic. In the rewiting hard times a spectacular “army of unemployed” marched on Washington, led by Coxey. Then came the Chicago labor strikes, which held up traffie | and led to riots, Cleveland called out Federal troops ‘® to restore order. His second term was one long series A Serles of of national mischances, for which he received the Mischances. lon’s share of the blame. The famous “bond issue Yee eeroee ) scandal” was, perhaps, the climax of all the rest. The extent of Cleveland’s personal responsibility for this has been discussed, pro and con, for many years. In 18%) he was not renominated; and he retired to private Hfe in 1897 at the age of sixty, choosing for his home Princeton, N. There, not many miles from his birthplace, he settled down to an honored old age, amid conm- genial surroundings, choosing for his friends men of culture and high liter ury and artistic repute. Though forced as a lad to give up ais cherished ‘dream of a college course he now sought to make up for the lack by univer- ‘sity environment. Princeton had conferred on him the coveted degree of Doctor of Laws, and he delivered a course of lectures to students of that institution. His only semi-return to active work was when he accepted a mission later to help adjust affairs for an insurance company, where the | weight of his name and his sterling honesty and common sense were ex- | Pected to be of inestimable service. | His summers have been spent in hunting and fishing near his Buzzard’s | Pay country home, his winters at Princeton.
