AS TINS association crosses the threshold
Wnlch lies midway in its existence, its members
may wen recall with pride and congratulation
mnaU IL mas thus far done for the promotion of
khoWle0ge OF German literature and the cultl-
Vallon OF German character; and as they enter
upon the second half century of organized eff
Ioru, Ihey should be more than ever determined
10 pursue these purposes, not only because they
may mus Keep alive fond remembrance of the

those sentiments which purify and strengthen
genuine and patriotic Americanism.
After the exercises complimentary din
ner was given IN honor of Mr.. Cleveland at
the Hotel Iroquois by his personal and
political friends in Buffalo. In his remarks
In response to the toastmaster's welcome,
MI Cleveland was reminiscent. He said
ne had been striving for several years to
oeneve he was still on the sunny side of
the time which separates middle age from
the last declivity of life, but now here, re-
calling the memories of thirty-f years
ago, he yielded to the struggle and enrolled
ouIObS CLOSS lUuB0r young. NE
SAID his mind was full of recollections of
experiences connected with his early life
IN Buffalo. Some of these were rugged
but healthful, and they appear to him now
roooed OF everything save the features
that make them welcome memories. Re-
ferrlng IN jocular way to his former law
partner, Blssell, who was present, Cleve-
land said: II am glad to know he has
grown TO be a fair lawyer and is respect
able citizen. | understand he lately mar
RED, which is something that for the last
five or six years l have thought was a very
proper thing for man of his age or even
my age to do.''
Referring to Buffalos first mayor, Cleve-
land said he was not acquainted with the
gentleman, but recalled distinctly the cele-
bratlon of Buffalo's semi-sentennial and
was well acquainted with the man who
was then mayor. This man afterwards
dabbled in state and national politics. At
any rate he had a government job for four
years and then like others lost his place.
HE was accused, l am told, of talking too
much about the tariff and charged with at
tempting to ruin the country in divers and
sundry ways. In point fact however,
l am convinced that notwithstanding
all we hear of civil service reform, he was
discharged for purely partisan reasons. He
dld great deal of hard work and was much
perplexed and troubled, but know his
greatest trial was his alienation of MANY
personal and political friends in making APP
pointmeuts to Office 1t was impossible to
avoid this, and it will continue to be i'm
possible so long as the applicant and APP
pointer occupy such entirely different
poinss of observation, and as long as public
duty may sometime stand in the way of
personal friendship
