Bryan on Cleveland death obituary sketch

Lincoln Nebr June 34 The following written this evening by W J Bryan will appear in next weeks issue of his paper The death of ex President Grover Cleveland brings to a sudden end the phenomenal career of one of the strongest characters known to the political world of the present generation Like every commanding figure and zealous supporters and earnest opponents but those who differed from him were as ready as his warmest friends to concede to him the possession of elements of tradership to an extraordinary degree He was deliberate in action firm in conviction and ready to accept responsibility for what he did We few men have exerted a more positive influence upon those associated with them We are not far enough from the period in which his work was done to measure accurately his place in history but the qualities which made him great are a part of the nations heritage and universal sorrow felt at his death
