	STEPHANUS JOHANNES PAULUS KRUGER - LoveToKnow Article on STEPHANUS JOHANNES PAULUS KRUGER
		president of the Transvaal Republic, was born in Colesberg, Cape Colony, on the 10th of October 1825.
		In 1893 Kruger had to face a third presidential election, and on this occasion the opposition he had raised among the burgers, largely by the favoritism he displayed to the Hollander party, was so strong that it was fully anticipated that his more liberal opponent, General Joubert, would be elected.
		The acticn taken by President Kruger at this election, and his previous actions in ousting President Burgers and in absolutely excluding the IJitlanders from the franchise, all show that at any cost, in his opinion, the government must remain a close corporation, and that while he lived he must remain at the head of it.

		The president's problems were exacerbated by the fact that there was no simple divide between appointments made prior to 1895—when the continental Dutch tradition dominated those posts in his administration requiring legal expertise—and those made after the Raid, when he leaned more heavily on those who had passed through the Inns of Court.
		In essence, Kruger was asking that his Hollanders and their Amsterdam acolytes such as Krause—politically "conservative" but socially "progressive" in matters of public morality—make way for Smuts and the new men from the Inns of Court who were politically "progressive" but, by personality and legal training, far more "conservative" on matters of public social policy.
		Kruger's attempt at social reform on the Rand was being scuppered by foreigners whose economic mobility contrasted sharply with the poverty of many of the burghers to be found in the poorest quarters of the city.
