A Remarkable Career.
New York Times1

The election OF Mr.. Roosevelt is the Gull
mination-up to the present time-of one
of the most remarkable careers known to
our history.
Twenty-three years ago, only three
years out of college. Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected and re -elected to the assembly for
three successive terms, and in that body
apart from his generally efficient service
linked his name first with the law for the
reform of the civil service. and second
with a searching investigation into the
affairs of this city, the results of which
deeply stirred the public sentiment As
chairman of the United States civil SER
vice commission for six years, the entire
term of President Harrison, and half the
second term of Mr.. Cleveland he rendered
signal aid in the firm establishment of
the sound principles of the merit system
In 1895 he was called to the police depart
ment in this city, upon which his energy
and capabiity left a lasting impression.
Transferred to the department of the
navy as assistant secretary, his influence
In the organization of the victory that
came so promptly and brilliantly in the
war with Spain was cordially acknoW-
edged by the secretary and the President
In that war as lieutenant colonel and sub
sequently colonel OF the Rough Riders, he
rendered substantial and faithful service.
Then as governor of the state of New York
he distinguished his administration by
the complete overthrow of the evasive and
tricky system which had been contrived
under his predecessor to beat" the civil
service law, and, through the Green COM
mission, prepared the way for the COM
prehensive improvement of the canals.
which was Overwhelmingly approved by
the people as soon as they had the oppor-
tunity to vote on it, Transferred rather
by the accidents of politics than by log
teal promotion or his own desire to the
vice presidency. and becoming President
through the death of Mckinley, he is the
first among vice presidents thus sue
ceeding to the Presidency to receive an
election from the people.
Whatever those who opposed his cleo
ton may believe as to the issues involved
IN the contest and his relations to them,
none can deny the convincing evidence
his career affords of great personal abil-
ity, profound knowledge of the temper
ana purpose of the American people an
extraordinary hold upon their confidence
and admiration, and an almost unprec-
edented command of the elements of sue
cess in democratic nation. No career
more striking and impressive has been
attained in our time and rarely in any
times save those of revolution.
