As soon as I met Mr.
Cleveland I became impressed with his simplicity, greatness, and rugged honesty.

I have met him many times since then, both at public functions and at his private residence in Princeton, and the more I see of him the more I admire him.

When he visited the Negro Building in Atlanta he seemed to give himself up wholly, for that hour, to the coloured people.

He seemed to be as careful to shake hands with some old coloured "auntie" clad partially in rags, and to take as much pleasure in doing so, as if he were greeting some millionaire.

Many of the coloured people took advantage of the occasion to get him to write his name in a book or on a slip of paper.
