Mr.. Kearns saidr IT count it. a spe-
cial privilege, Mr.. President, to partici-
pate in these exercises today. which
commemorate the lie and character of
that great American. that loyal friend
and matchless leader. Marcus A Han
ma. Together with the thousands who
knew him, I hold in grateful remem-
brance the share I had of that great
heart, whose every pulsation was or
kindness and love.
His life is the ideal for which the
youth Of our country should strive. In
his intercourse with me he was all that
stands for sterling manhood, and he
surrounded his home with a halo of
purity and love.
BY his own endeavOrs he became a
in of industry and the
statesman of his time Cruelty carl
catured as an enemy OF labor villified
and misunderstood he lived at least TO
hear the cheers of labor hailing him
as it's champion and to realize he had
won the confidence Of the whole people.
He discouraged. the efforts of his
friends to elevate him to the highest
Office I'm the gift of the people, and said
he preferred 10 spend the remaining
years Of his life I'm the contamination
of n better understanding between cap
ital and labor Here, indeed. is an ex-
ample OF devotion to the cause Of man
kind that had no other consideration
than that which comes from a con-
seriousness Of well doing-a heritage of
which any man may well be proud.
God-Like Trait.
Mr. Hanna was modest and unas-
Stunning, yet possessed Of that nervous
energy that begets success. He loved
his friends and was ever willing to Ia
Dor for them. Their success was his
keenest pleasure. and with them he
felt the sting Of defeat. And, Mr.. Pres
ident. it was this God-like trait that
rallied the legions to his cause.

Hanna prior to 1896. and when the Re
