 CALL FOR THE CONVENTION. 
 
 To Republican State Leagues, League Clubs and all Republicans : 
 
 In compliance with a provision of the constitution of the 
 Republican National League establishing an annual convention, 
 and in accordance with the instructions of the last National Con- 
 vention at Denver, the Eighth Annual Convention of the Repub- 
 lican National League of the United States is hereby called to 
 meet in the city of Cleveland, Wednesday, June 19, 1895, a ^ IO 
 A. M., and continue its sessions until its business is completed. 
 
 The ratio of representation will be six delegates-at-large from 
 each State and Territory, four from each congressional district, 
 and one delegate from each College Club, represented by one of 
 its own members in the Annual Convention of the American Re- 
 publican College League for 1895. The following are ex officio 
 delegates, viz : the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the 
 National League ; one Vice-President and one Executive member 
 of the National organization from each State and Territory, and 
 the President and Secretary of each State and Territorial League, 
 making four ex officio delegates from each. This gives each 
 State practically ten delegates-at-large in addition to the four from 
 each congressional district. The total representation will exceed 
 two thousand delegates, with an equal number of alternates. 
 
 The business of the meeting will include reports from the 
 officers of the League, the election of officers, vice-presidents 
 and members of the executive committee for the ensuing year ; 
 the designation or reference of the time and place for the next 
 National League Convention ; a general discussion of League 
 work, party policies and organization ; the formation of a plan of 
 campaign, with special reference to the presidential year, and 
 a consideration of such other questions as the convention may 
 deem proper. 
 
 Special railroad rates have been secured for the convention,

 NATIONAL CONVENTIONS OF THE LEAGUE. 
 
 The Republican League of the United States was organized 
 in Chickering Hall, New York City, December i5th-i;th, 1887, 
 by delegates from about 350 Republican Clubs of the United 
 States, assembled in national convention pursuant to a call 
 issued by the Republican Club of New York City. National 
 conventions have since been held in Baltimore, Md., February 
 28, 1889 ; Nashville, Tenn., March 4, 1890 ; Cincinnati, O., April 
 23, 1891 ; Buffalo, N. Y., September 16, 1892 ; Louisville, Ky., 
 May 10, 1893 ; Denver, Colo., June 26, 1894. The Eighth 
 Annual Convention will be held in Cleveland, O., June 19, 1895. 
 
 THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE PLAN. 
 
 The League is founded on the rights and duties of the in- 
 dividual citizens, the solid corner-stone of Republicanism, and 
 aims to enlist all Republican forces as auxiliaries of the regular 
 party organization. Its chief business is to elect candidates and 
 not to nominate them. 
 
 1. The Local Club is composed of individuals, with equal 
 voice in all its affairs. 
 
 2. The State League is composed of the Local Clubs of each 
 State, and each club has personal representation at all State 
 conventions and elections of officers and committees. 
 
 3. The National League is composed of one State League 
 from each State and Territory in the United States, and derives 
 its authority from instructions given and committees elected by 
 representatives from each State and Territorial League in 
 National Convention assembled. 
 
 The League and all its branches, Local, State and National, 
 has only one grand aim, namely : To advocate, promote and 
 maintain the principles of Republicanism as enunciated by the 
 Republican party.

 The organization of the Ohio Republican League was the 
 outgrowth of a conviction that club work was the most effective 
 agency to party success. No substantial victory had been won by 
 the Republican party in this State but that had upon it the im- 
 press of the aid that was given to it by the various Republican 
 clubs. In order that this influence might be centralized, and 
 that its real power might be enlarged, all of these clubs were put 
 into one organization, since which time they have been known as 
 the League of Clubs. 
 
 The Ohio Republican League was born January n, 1886. 
 Its work was extended into every county and city in the State, 
 and by and by a political organization of much magnitude had 
 proved itself to be of far greater importance than was ever an- 
 ticipated by its warmest friends. It has had its seasons of de- 
 pression as well as of lively activity, but it has always been ready 
 and willing to do its full share of party service. It was this same 
 spirit of club organization that spread from State to State, and, as 
 a result, the National Republican League was organized upon a 
 larger scale, but upon the same basis, and for the same purposes. 
 It is unnecessary, at this time, to refer to the success of that larger 
 enterprise, for its history has been a great political triumph, which 
 is well known to all Republicans. 
 
 It is possible that the plans of the Ohio Republican League 
 might not be void of interest to club workers in other States. 
 Under its constitution, any active Republican Club in the State, 
 of at least thirty members, is entitled to membership upon pay- 
 ing an annual assessment of $5.00. The League holds a State 
 Convention annually, on Lincoln's birthday, February 12th.

Each club, regardless of its number of members, is entitled to ten 
 delegates in that convention. It has been the custom of the 
 League to hold the annual Lincoln Day Banquet on the evening 
 of the State Convention, and this banquet has become recognized 
 as one of the most interesting and important events in the po- 
 litical history of our State. The eloquence of our leaders, from 
 various States of the Union, has often been heard at these ban- 
 quets, and it is an occasion to which Ohioans look with great in- 
 terest. 
 
 The President of the League annually appoints five repre- 
 sentative Republicans as an Organization Committee, who are at 
 the head of the work of bringing in new clubs. Recently, the Ex- 
 ecutive Committee has been enlarged to one member from each 
 county in the State, and two members from those counties which 
 have two Congressional districts. This Executive Committee is 
 the great working force of the League, and the success of the 
 League in any county depends largely upon the Executive Com- 
 mitteeman from that county, as well as upon the officers of the 
 League. The convention held, this year was one of much en- 
 thusiasm, and new clubs are constantly coming into the League. 
 
 The League does not pretend to be a distinct political or- 
 ganization, but simply tenders its services to the regular party or- 
 ganization, and the harmony which exists between the League 
 and the regular campaign organization has been productive ot 
 much good. They work together, with the belief that the only 
 object in view is to achieve party success by all honorable means. 
 
 The present officers of the League are alive to the duties that 
 are upon them. The president, D. D. Woodmansee, of Cincin- 
 nati, has twice been elected to this important trust by the unani- 
 mous vote of our State Convention. In all of his efforts to develop 
 the League, he has had the hearty co-operation of the Secretary, 
 E. J. Miller, of Columbus, who has rendered faithful service to the 
 League and the Republican party. 
 
 We believe that there is still a place for the League, and that 
 new victories of our party will be won by its assistance. We be- 
 lieve that the magnificent Republican majority of '94, in this State, 
 of more than 130,000, if not maintained, will decrease less speed- 
 ily because the League is with us. Its future is what we make 
 it. May it grow and prosper, and be to our party a constant 
 source of strength and courage.

HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE MOVEMENT. 
 
 There is an appropriateness in the Republican League of the 
 Tinted States meeting in convention in Ohio, for the League 
 movement is another of the many "Ohio ideas" which have 
 made the Buckeye State famous. 
 
 By general consent, the credit of originating the present 
 league movement is given to Mr. James Boyle, now private 
 secretary of Governor McKinley. In the Fall of 1885, during 
 the noted gubernatorial campaign of Hon. J. B. Foraker, Mr. 
 Boyle, who was on the editorial staff of the Cincinnati Commer- 
 cial Gazette, sent a communication to the chairman of the Elec- 
 tion Committee of the Cincinnati Young Men's Blaine Club, 
 suggesting the organization of a State League of all the perma- 
 nent Republican Clubs in Ohio. The directors favored the idea, 
 and a special committee was appointed to carry it into effect. 
 Mr. Boyle was made chairman of the committee. The first 
 thing he did was to secure endorsements from the leaders of 
 the party in Ohio. Care was taken to explain that the intention 
 was to allow every club to manage its own affairs, and that pro- 
 vision would be made to prevent the League interfering with 
 the official machinery of the party, and also to prevent it being 
 used to control nominations. 
 
 Subsequently, at a meeting of the representatives of the 
 Young Men's Blaine Club, the Lincoln Club, the Sherman Club, 
 of Cincinnati, and of the clubs of the Twelfth, Fourteenth and 
 Sixteenth Wards of that city, Mr. Boyle was authorized, in the 
 name of those organizations, to call a conference to "assemble in 
 the office of the Secretary of State, Columbus, at five p. m., Jan- 
 uary n, 1886 [when J. B. Foraker was inaugurated Governor], 
 to consider the question of the formation of a league of all per- 
 manent Republican Clubs in the State. All such clubs in Ohio

are invited to send delegates (from one to five each) duly ac- 
 credited." The conference was very largely attended, and it was 
 unanimously and enthusiastically resolved to form a State 
 League, and a committee was appointed to draft a constitution. 
 Mr. Boyle was made chairman of the committee, and after a 
 great deal of trouble and consideration, a constitution was framed. 
 
 Acting by authority of the conference of clubs referred to 
 above, a call was issued on June 28, 1886, by James Boyle, Chair- 
 man, and Richard J. Fanning, Secretary of the Committee on 
 Organization, for the first convention of the Ohio Republican 
 League, to be held at Columbus, August 25, 1886, at the Garfield 
 Club rooms, Columbus. The constitution, as drafted by the 
 committee, was ratified. Article 2 read : "This League is or- 
 ganized for the advancement of the principles of the Republican 
 party, and particularly for the formation, encouragement and en- 
 rollment of permanent Republican Clubs, and shall act in co-oper- 
 ation with the regular Republican committees." Article 3 read : 
 u Any permanently organized Republican Club in the State of 
 Ohio, having adopted a constitution and by-laws, is eligible for 
 membership in this League." Hon. Daniel J. Ryan, then the 
 Representative in the Legislature from Scioto County, was 
 elected the first President of the League. 
 
 Thus was organized, on the 25th of August, 1886, the first 
 State League of Republican Clubs. It will be observed that this 
 organization contemplated a league of co-ordinate local and in- 
 dependent organizations, banded together for mutual benefit and 
 for the benefit of the party at large, this system being in contra- 
 distinction from the other plans attempted as stated above, 
 namely, bureaucratic, with a central body, having subordinate 
 clubs or branches throughout the State or country. It was felt 
 by those who organized the League that to be successful it must 
 allow the widest possible latitude for local conditions and in- 
 dividual club autonomy, the prime condition of membership in 
 the League being that each club having affiliation therewith 
 should be bona fide Republican, and organized with a permanent 
 intent. The constitution of the Ohio State League, as originally 
 formed, has not been materially changed since then, and has 
 been made the model of nearly all of the State Leagues through- 
 out the country. The "Ohio idea" rapidly spread in the East 
 and West.

The development of the State League into the National 
 League is to be placed to the credit of the " Republican Club n 
 of the City of New York. At a call of that organization, a national 
 convention of State Leagues, and of individual clubs throughout 
 the Country, was held at Chickering Hall, New York City, on 
 December 15, 16 and 17, 1887, and the Republican League of the 
 Inited States was then and there formed. Hon. Daniel J. Ryan, 
 President of the Ohio State League, was made Vice President of 
 the convention, and Mr. Boyle was made Chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on National Organization, which reported the original 
 constitution of the Republican League of the United States, and 
 the Ohio plan of State organization was recommended as the 
 model for other State Leagues.

JAMES H. HOYT, ESQ. 
 
 Mr. Hoyt has achieved a place in the 
 public life of this State by an entirely 
 natural and unforced process that justly 
 entitles him to rank with the best of 
 Ohio's sons. It is true, that the full rec- 
 . ognition of his worth and strength has 
 come to many of his fellow-citizens like 
 s an awakening or a new idea ; but this is 
 because he has heretofore refused to be 
 considered for positions of public trust 
 ; and responsibility, which would have 
 made his ability and energy more widely 
 known, and not because of any doubt 
 as to his qualifications for the highest 
 public service among those who consti- 
 tute the large circle of his social and pro- 
 fessional acquaintances. 
 Mr. Hoyt's family is one of the oldest and most respected in this part of the 
 State. His father, recently deceased, James M. Hoyt, was a prominent member 
 of the bar, held important offices of trust, and wa£ a man of marked literary 
 ability. James H. Hoyt, Esq., is the third of four sons, and is forty-two years of 
 age. Rev. Dr. Wayland Hoyt, of Minneapolis, and Colgate Hoyt, of New York, 
 are the best known of his brothers. He graduated in the public schools of this 
 city, attended the Harvard I,aw School, and after admission to the bar engaged 
 actively in the practice of his profession. He is now senior member of the well- 
 known law firm of Hoyt, Dustin & Kelley, and has achieved a high reputation 
 in his profession, many large interests being entrusted to his care. Some able 
 men have escaped distinction because of inability to give fluent and forcible ex- 
 pression to their knowledge or ideas. Such is not the case with Mr. Hoyt. His 
 exceptional ability as an orator has, in fact, directed attention to him as a man 
 with broad views, undoubted intellectual strength, and well-disciplined mental 
 processes. He is one of the -most interesting, entertaining and instructive 
 speakers in Ohio, and the Buckeye State ranks second to none in the Union in 
 that respect. There seems to be no limit to the resources of his well-stored 
 mind, so that whatever the occasion that calls him to the platform, or however 
 short the notice, he is always able to please and to instruct. The people of Cin- 
 cinnati were treated to an exhibition of Mr. Hoyt's oratorical powers on the oc- 
 casion of the banquet given to the visiting business men of Cleveland by the 
 Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful speech. 
 Its purpose, as may well be supposed, was to create a kindly feeling between the 
 business men of the two cities, and the manifestations of amity and enthusiasm 
 it aroused will never be forgotten by those present. When Mr. Hoyt sat down, 
 Cincinnati announced that her sweet sister Cleveland could have anything that 
 the orator of the evening desired. 
 
 Mr. Hoyt has always been an active Republican. There is no taint of Mug- 
 wumpery upon his political garments. His talents and means have repeatedly 
 been employed in the defense of Republican principles. He is an active member 
 of the leading Republican organizations of the city, and is always found at the 
 front when there is need of wise counsel and arduous service.

THE CITY OF CLEVELAND. 
 
 BY F. E. DENTON. 
 
 Cleveland, capital of the far-famed Western Reserve, and 
 metropolis of Ohio, is one of the fairest cities of any land. While 
 there are towns which surpass it in certain ways, there are none 
 which combine so many of the features requisite to the concep- 
 tion of an ideal city. Its development has not been paroxysmal 
 or factitious, but healthful and many-sided. It has been indebted 
 to no boom for advancement in any field. Its growth has been 
 the sure unfolding of natural advantages, and it has passed to the 
 proud position of one of the leading commercial centers of the 
 republic. Though engrossed in material activities, its people 
 have never forgotten that trade is only one facet of municipal 
 greatness, and have sacrificed to their wonderful success no 
 advantage of their truer well-being. It is generally understood 
 that urban life is largely artificial, and that a bucolic environ- 
 ment is of best service to man physically, mentally, and morally. 
 Admitting this to be true, it can be said of Cleveland that, above 
 all other great cities, it- is the most rural. It unites in singular 
 measure the spirit and stir of city life and the beauty and peace 
 of country life. It unites what is most desirable in both lives, 
 crowning the union with the charm of its own individuality. 
 
 Two years are yet to pass before it will be a full century 
 since the sturdy Connecticut surveyor landed upon the banks of 
 the Cuyahoga River, and what was to be Cleveland began. Much 
 sagacity was exhibited by him in his choice of a site for the city 
 which was to bear his name. Cleveland stands upon an undulat- 
 ing plateau, one hundred feet above the waters of Lake Erie. 
 This plateau is cleft north and south by the valley of the Cuya- 
 hoga River. This sinuous stream is navigable by the largest 
 vessels a long distance to the southward. The city has a 
 frontage of about sixteen miles upon the river. More than five 
 of these miles are built up in docks. This dockage is utilized in 
 passenger boat landings, warehouses, grain elevators, iron fur-

naces. lime kilns, slaughtering and meat-packing establishments, 
 and the handling of vast quantities of iron ore, coal, pig iron, and 
 lumber. Formerly, that portion of the city west of the river— 
 now containing about one-third of its population— was known as 
 Ohio City, being a separate corporation. In 1855, it was united 
 with Cleveland, since which time the union has been rendered 
 perpetual by the stone and iron wedlock of two massive viaducts, 
 each being nearly a mile in length, and both costing nearly 
 $3,500,000. Besides these great bridges, there are numerous 
 smaller ones, so that the two portions of the city enjoy as com- 
 plete facilities for communication as though they were one in 
 topography, as in interests and destiny. It was not many years 
 ago that the river was the only harbor. In 1825, there were only 
 three feet of water in a narrow and crooked channel at its mouth. 
 To-day, as the result of the improvements made from time to 
 time, and the great breakwaters built by the government, the 
 harbor of Cleveland is one of the finest upon the lakes. The 
 western breakwater is about a mile and a half in length, and it is 
 expected that when the eastern breakwater shall be completed, it 
 will be fully two miles in length. These gigantic arms will 
 encircle an immense basin, wherein the ever-increasing marine 
 business of future generations will be transacted. 
 
 Cleveland is a spacious city. Its area is about thirty square 
 miles, including the recently annexed villages of Brooklyn and 
 West Cleveland. It has a frontage of some seven miles upon the 
 lake. The distance between the extreme points within its limits 
 is about ten miles east and west, and seven miles north and south. 
 It may be seen from these figures that its citizens do not need to 
 elbow one another. Though it has increased in population more 
 rapidly than any other Western city in the country, with the 
 exception of Chicago, there are very few of its more than twenty- 
 three hundred streets which can be said to be overcrowded. 
 According to the Eleventh Federal Census, only seventeen per 
 cent, of its population lived over ten in a house, while in New 
 York the percentage reached eighty-three and one-third. It is 
 this roomy character of the city which is one of its most delight- 
 ful features. It has a direct and important bearing upon 
 municipal peace, beauty, and healthfulness. To this feature is 
 the city indebted for its far-famed width of streets and unequalled 
 opportunities for drainage and sewerage. The water supply, of a

remarkably pure character, is drawn from the depths of the lake. 
 This body exerts a gracious influence upon local climatic condi- 
 tions. In a region noted for extremes of temperature, it plays the 
 part of a meteorological balance-wheel, abating the rigor of 
 Winter and tempering the heat of Summer. It is also claimed 
 for it that it acts as a protection against wind-storms of a 
 destructive character. The climate of Cleveland is less change- 
 able than that of any other city of the same latitude. Nature 
 seems to have the physical well-being of its citizens under especial 
 guardianship, as there are few country places even where the 
 chances of life are better. Last year, the percentage of deaths to 
 each one thousand of population was only 17.43. 
 
 Cleveland has had a phenomenal growth, increase having 
 begotten increase, as in the case of the proverbial snow-ball. 
 When the first quarter of a century had sped, it was still only a 
 modest hamlet of 150 souls. It was not until 1830 that it had 
 passed the thousand mark. From that time its growth began in 
 earnest. According to the Federal Census, the population in 
 1840 was 6,071 ; in 1850, 17,034; in i860, 43,830; in 1870, 92,829; 
 in 1880, 160,146, and in 1890, 261,560. At the present time, the 
 population probably exceeds 340,000. At this rate of increase, 
 Cleveland will enter the twentieth century with 430,000 citizens. 
 In 1850, it was the twenty-fifth city in the United States; in i860, 
 the twentieth ; in 1870, the fifteenth ; in 1880, the eleventh, and 
 in 1890, the tenth. Within that period, it outstripped the follow- 
 ing cities : Lowell, New Haven, Worcester, Syracuse, Provi- 
 dence, Rochester, Louisville, Newark, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Pitts- 
 burgh, Richmond, Albany, Detroit, Washington, and New 
 Orleans. Contemplating the miracle of its past, the most ardent 
 dream falls within the circle of probability. 
 
 A great city is supposed to be purely a practical institution. 
 It is expected that the smoke and thunder of traffic will displace 
 the aesthetic by a sort of natural right. But in Cleveland the 
 beautiful has ever demanded and received its full share of 
 devotion. Consequently, there is, perhaps, no city of its size in 
 the country so singularly attractive. The proximity of the lake, 
 with its ever-changing aspects, and delicious breezes tempering 
 the hottest of rays; the broad avenues, so embowered with foliage 
 as to have given Cleveland the name of the Forest City ; the 
 countless lovely homes, with their green lawns ; the picturesque

resorts, and the rare points of interest, render it a most charming 
 place to visit in the Summer months. It is its manifold attrac- 
 tions and facilities of access by land and sea which have made 
 Cleveland a favorite convention city. Despite the railroad strike 
 and "hard times," it was the meeting place, in 1894, of the 
 greatest of the Christian Endeavor conventions. To meet the 
 ever-increasing demands upon hospitality, the city's hotel capacity 
 has been more than doubled during the last few years, and to-day 
 it boasts of a number of hostelries which are the peers of any. 
 The leading ones are the Hollenden, the Stillman, the Weddell, 
 the Forest City, the Kennard, the American, and the Hawley ; 
 but there are many others of considerable capacity. To meet the 
 demand for a large convention hall, Music Hall, which comfort- 
 ably seats 5,000 people, was built a number of years ago ; but its 
 facilities are no longer adequate. The needs in this direction, 
 however, will soon be met, upon the completion of the immense 
 armory of the Ohio National Guard, under process of construction 
 at the corner of Bond and Hamilton Streets. This armory will 
 include an auditorium capable of seating 10,000 people, and then 
 Cleveland will be able to entertain as large a convention as has 
 yet assembled in the land. 
 
 THE CITY PARKS. 
 
 The park system of the city is one of its chief glories. 
 Monumental Park, containing ten acres, in the heart of the 
 business section, is the oldest of the parks, dating back well 
 toward the beginning of the century. It is adorned with the 
 bronze effigy of General Moses Cleaveland, and with the Soldiers' 
 and Sailors' Monument, one of the grandest and most unique ot 
 memorials, built by the county at vast expense, and dedicated 
 with imposing ceremonies on July 4, 1894. Lakeview Park, with 
 its fountains and green banks and rustic bridges, stretches along 
 the slope of the lake bluffs from the foot of Seneca Street to the 
 foot of Erie Street, and is only a short walk from Monumental 
 Park. Half a mile farther east, also near the lake, is Clinton 
 Park. Still farther east, some four miles, is Gordon' Park, the 
 bequest of the late W. J. Gordon. This park contains about two 
 hundred acres of meadow, stream, and wood. Nature and art 
 have combined to make of it a marvel of picturesque beauty, and 
 a more charming and restful place could scarcely be imagined.

Two miles to the southward is Wade Park, containing seventy 
 acres of glen and hill and grove and field ; an artificial lake large 
 enough for boating purposes; a zoological garden; pleasant 
 walks and driveways, and every requisite to a popular resort. It 
 is thronged daily in Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Wade and 
 Gordon Parks are to be wedded in the near future by a splendid 
 boulevard. On the West Side is the new Edgewater Park and 
 Pelton Park, and in the southern suburbs, Forest City Park, all 
 interesting resorts. There are also many lesser places, public and 
 private, scattered through the city, conducive to the pleasant 
 drawing of a long breath. Eighty-one acres have been purchased 
 by the Park Commissioners, in Brooklyn Township, for a park. 
 An extensive and beautiful South End park is contemplated, and 
 will, doubtless, ere long be a reality. The extension of Erie 
 Street into the lake, and the construction of a large tract of land 
 thereon for a pleasure resort, is another project receiving 
 municipal attention. It has also been proposed that the boule- 
 vard to be built from Wade Park to Gordon Park be continued 
 from park to park, circumvallating the city with a landscape 
 garden, as it were, and impartially distributing its delights to the 
 people of every section. Euclid Avenue, extending eastward 
 from Monumental Park many miles, aligned with palatial homes, 
 and famous the world over as one of the most magnificent of 
 streets, is in reality a park "long drawn out," having, throughout 
 its attenuation, all of the charms of a sylvan retreat. About a 
 mile east of Wade Park is Lake View Cemetery, where rises sky- 
 ward the beautiful monument erected to the memory of the 
 martyred President, James A. Garfield, whose mortal remains 
 repose within its crypt. 
 
 THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. 
 
 The cause of education has ever been dear to the people of 
 Cleveland, and they have done more for it, proportionately, than 
 the people of any other American city. Over sixty massive 
 brick school buildings, equipped with every modern convenience, 
 testify to their deep interest in the intellectual welfare of the 
 rising generations. Within these buildings, an army of more 
 than 40,000 youth are instructed by 850 teachers, skilled in the 
 most enlightened methods. The city pays out a million of dollars 
 annually, and deems the money well spent, for the nurture of the

minds of its young. Aside from the public schools are the 
 parochial schools, Catholic and Lutheran, wherein more than 
 15,000 children are taught, and the private schools and colleges, 
 which have an attendance of some 5,000 pupils. The leading 
 institution of higher education is Western Reserve University, 
 including Adelbert College, the College for Women, the Cleve- 
 land Medical College, the Cleveland School of Law, the College 
 of Dentistry, the Conservatory of Music, and the School of Art. 
 This university is fast coining to be recognized as one of the great 
 centers of learning. The Case School of Applied Science stands 
 in the front rank of scientific schools. The Homoeopathic 
 Medical College is one of the oldest and most successful institu- 
 tions of its kind in the country. The Medical Department of the 
 University of Wooster is also located here. The city's educa- 
 tional facilities are supplemented by two great libraries — the 
 Cleveland Public Library, with 80,000 volumes, and Case Library, 
 with 35,000 volumes. There are over 200 churches and 225 
 benevolent organizations in the city. 
 
 The educational life of Cleveland finds further expression in 
 over one hundred newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals. 
 Among its dailies are the Cleveland Leader, the leading Repub- 
 lican journal of the State, with its evening edition, The News and 
 Herald ; the Plain Dealer, the leading Democratic journal of the 
 State, with its evening edition ; the Press, an independent after- 
 noon paper; and the World, a Republican afternoon paper, of 
 which Hon. Robert P. Porter, of New York, recently became pro- 
 prietor. Two dailies — the Wcechter-A7izeiger and the Neiie Presse 
 — represent the German element of the population. Among liter- 
 ary, society, and trade publications are The Voice, an illustrated 
 Sunday paper, The Clevelander, Town Topics, and The Iron 
 Trade Revieiv. There are nearly one hundred printing establish- 
 ments in the city, whose trade extends to almost every State and 
 Territory in the Union. 
 
 NATURAL AND DEVELOPED ADVANTAGES. 
 
 The greatness of Cleveland commercially is chiefly due to the 
 marvelous advantages of its situation. It might almost seem as 
 if its matter-of-fact founder were the subject of inspiration in 
 1796, since there was no way in which he could have apprehended 
 how the future would so signally justify his choice. Certainly,

the earth-hidden riches of the Southwest and Northwest could not 
 have entered into his calculations. Yet, so far as results are con- 
 cerned, it is as if his eye could have seen the future with the 
 clearness of a present reality. The traffic of the inland seas with 
 a large section, comprising the most populous and opulent part of 
 the Union, gravitates to Cleveland. It is the naturally-appointed 
 meeting place of fleets and railroads. From the mines of Michi- 
 gan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, comes more than one-half of the 
 raw product for the iron and steel industries of the entire country, 
 a large part of which is brought to Cleveland. From the forest 
 regions of the same States comes the material for countless habita- 
 tions. From the bituminous coal fields of Ohio and Pennsylvania 
 come millions of tons of the very best fuel. Eleven railroads, 
 operating 5,237 miles of track — considerably more railway mile- 
 age than there is in the kingdom of Sweden — meet the laden 
 navies at Cleveland, where they exchange their riches. The fact 
 that it is such a great distributing point for the mineral nourish- 
 ment of civilization has been a wonderful stimulus to manufact- 
 ures, and, as the result, Cleveland enjoys a diversification of 
 industry almost unparalleled. There are few useful things which 
 the wit of man has devised which it does not make. It has more 
 than three thousand manufacturing establishments, great and 
 small. Many of these employ a small army of men. More than 
 half of the population are directly engaged in productive labor. 
 
 Cleveland enjoys the prestige of being the largest ship- 
 building port in the United States. In fact, there is only one 
 district in the world — the famous Clyde district, in Great Britain — 
 in which the new tonnage turned out each year is in excess of that 
 built here. Cleveland's steel ships are among the finest merchant 
 vessels on the globe. This city also enjoys the honor of owning 
 more floating property than any other city on the continent, with 
 the exception of New York. Its vessels will aggregate in value 
 $18,000,000. The cities of the world whose maritime commerce 
 exceeds that of Cleveland could be counted on the fingers of a 
 hand. The value of its lake trade in 1894 was $55,000,000. Its 
 commerce, especially in coal and iron ore, practically includes the 
 business of several other ports east and west. It matters little at 
 what port of Lake Erie the cargo may be discharged, the con- 
 tract of sale, the delivery, and the payment are Cleveland 
 transactions.

Iii the manufacture of heavy forgings, wire nails, nuts and 
 bolts, carriage and wagon hardware, vapor stoves, sewing 
 machines, steel-tired car wheels, and heavy street railway 
 machinery, Cleveland is foremost of American cities. It is the 
 headquarters of the malleable iron industry. In this city, the 
 greatest shoddy mills of America' are located; also an electric 
 light carbon works, having an annual capacity of ten million car- 
 bons. Cleveland leads the world in the manufacture of petroleum 
 products. It makes the largest telescopes. It ranks next to New 
 York and Chicago as a market for millinery. It makes more than 
 half of the gum chewed by the human race. Not only do its 
 multiform industries furnish employment to an ever-increasing 
 host of toilers, but it pays them good wages, as compared with 
 other cities. As a dwelling place for the man who earns his 
 bread by the sweat of his brow, its advantages are many and 
 marked. 
 
 The financial system of Cleveland comprises some fifty bank- 
 ing institutions, including national banks, savings banks, state 
 banking companies, and saving and loan associations. About 
 half of these institutions are savings banks, a single one of which 
 has resources aggregating to exceed $24,000,000. The deposits 
 of Cleveland banks will aggregate to exceed $65,000,000. The 
 record of the city's financial system has been a most creditable 
 one. No speculative influences have gone to swell the volume of 
 its business. A rare freedom from failures or serious disturbances 
 has characterized it. The direct outgrowth of the city's wonder- 
 ful commercial interests, in the attitude of a grateful child to its 
 parent, it has ever encouraged their onward and upward progress 
 by its liberal policy. The great bulk of its savings deposits has 
 been invested in building homes for mechanics and others of 
 moderate means. Consequently, there is* no great city where so 
 many of the inhabitants own their own homes. In that part of 
 the year when building is most active, every setting sun witnesses 
 the addition to the city of enough comfortable residences to make 
 a handsome hamlet. Streets are springing up as if by magic, and 
 the city is creeping into the country on every side. There are 
 very few places where residence property can be purchased at a 
 cheaper figure. The most desirable manufacturing property can 
 be secured at prices from thirty- five to fifty per cent, cheaper 
 than in other cities of its class. Cleveland has been free from

real estate booms, as of all other kinds. The market for land 
 has been active, but healthfully so. A great stimulus to the 
 \ th of the city has been its comprehensive and unrivalled 
 street car system, comprising 200 miles of track. Horse cars have 
 become a memory, and electric and cable cars so neutralize time 
 as to bring the remotest citizen within a half hour of the City 
 Hall. The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, one of the strong- 
 est and most vigorous commercial organizations in the country, 
 is an active factor in developing and energizing every effort and 
 movement promotive of the best interests of the city. 
 
 A UNIQUE MUNICIPAL SYSTEM. 
 
 Any description of Cleveland would be incomplete which did 
 not mention its admirable system of government. This has 
 attracted a great deal of attention throughout the country, since 
 it was, in an emphatic sense, a " new departure." There is more 
 or less danger attending political experiments, and the average 
 citizen is not disposed to look upon them with favor ; but " the 
 Federal plan," as it is called, has, during the four years of its 
 operation, thoroughly established itself in popular approval, and 
 illustrated the wisdom of its originators. It receives its name 
 from the fact that it is closely patterned after the plan of the 
 Federal Government. Its distinctive feature is that it centers 
 authority and fixes responsibility. Under "the Federal plan," 
 the executive power is in the hands of a Mayor (elected by the 
 people) and his cabinet, consisting of six heads of departments, 
 chosen by him and confirmed by the Council. Following are the 
 heads of the departments : The Director of Law, who is corpora- 
 tion counsel ; the Director of Public Works, who has charge of 
 the water works, streets, parks, public buildings, and all improve- 
 ments thereon and additions thereto ; the Directors of Police and 
 Fire Service, whose duties are fully indicated by their titles ; the 
 Director of Accounts, who is city auditor, and has full control of 
 the book-keeping and reports of all the departments ; and the 
 Director of Charities and Correction, who is responsible for the 
 care of the work-house, infirmary, and cemeteries. The Mayor 
 and Directors constitute the Board of Control, whose duties and 
 powers correspond in a general way with those of the boards of 
 improvement in other cities. The head of each department has 
 full authority to select all of its officers and employes, and to

purchase its supplies. His appointments do not require confirma- 
 tion. The Mayor can remove any member of his cabinet at 
 pleasure, who, in turn, has the power to remove any subordinate 
 of his department. All legislative authority is in the hands of a 
 Council of twenty members, who are elected from districts. The 
 appropriations are made as in Congress. No warrant can be 
 drawn on an exhausted fund, and the revenues cannot be antici- 
 pated or used for any other purpose or period than is provided by 
 the appropriation act. The judicial officers — the Police Judge 
 and Police Prosecutor — are elected by popular vote. "The Federal 
 plan" went into operation in the Spring of 1891. In the Spring 
 of 1892, a reorganization act for the government of the public 
 schools of the city was passed by the State Legislature. By its 
 provisions, a Director of Schools and a School Council of seven 
 members are elected by the people. The Director has all 
 executive control, and all appointments are made by him, except 
 those of teachers, who are appointed by the Superintendent of 
 Instruction. The School Council has control of all legislation for 
 the schools. The City Auditor is the auditor of the School De- 
 partment. The new government has most admirably fulfilled all 
 that its most earnest advocates could have hoped for it. It has 
 been safe and economical, and its operations open as the day. It 
 is not too much to say that it has materially contributed to the 
 progress of the city. 
 
 The honor of Mayor — a very high one considering the great 
 responsibility attaching to that position under the new regime 
 — has been bestowed upon three citizens, namely : Hon. William 
 G. Rose, Republican, elected in 1891 ; Hon. Robert Blee, Demo- 
 crat, elected in 1893 5 an d Hon. Robert E. McKisson, Republi- 
 can, elected in 1895. The latter is said to be the youngest man 
 ever entrusted with the executive authority of a great city, being 
 only thirty-two years of age.

 PASSENGER STEAMER LINES. 
 
 One of the most attractive features of the Summer life in 
 Cleveland is the opportunities afforded for excursions by water 
 of any desired length. Handsome and capacious steamers make 
 frequent trips to suburban resorts on the lake shore ; daily trips 
 are made by splendid steamers of the largest size to Put-in-Bay, 
 Kelley's Island, and Lakeside. Daily trips are also made to 
 Buffalo and Detroit, making close connections with through rail- 
 way trains ; and if the seeker for pleasure or health desires a longer 
 voyage, he can take a thousand mile run on magnificently ap- 
 pointed water craft to Duluth or Chicago, with stop-off privileges 
 at Mackinac or the Sault. The passenger traffic of the Great 
 Lakes is rapidly increasing as the beauties and advantages of 
 these inland ocean trips become better known, and the various 
 steamship Jines are sparing no expense to accommodate this 
 traffic and to make this form of pleasuring attractive. 
 
 The following passenger boat lines have landings at Cleve- 
 land : Detroit & Cleveland Steam Navigation Co. ; foot of 
 Superior Street. Cleveland & Buffalo Transit Company ; foot ot 
 St. Clair Street. Anchor Line; No. 107 to No. 115 River Street.
