CLINTON.

The impressive ceremonials Of yesterday in
this city, which will he continued elsewhere to-
day and will reach their elimination tomorrow
at the old state capital of Kingston, Will be
regarded as a fitting tribute TO one of the most
noteworthy men in the early history OF New
York and indeed. of the United States The
Clinton family. with its blending OF Cavalier
and Roundhead blood and temperament, gave
many men Of mark in peace and war to both
America and Great Britain. and among these
George Clinton was of the foremost. As
lawyer, soldier. legislator for both state and
nation, Governor of New York for a longer
period than any other man. and Vice-President
and formidable candidate for the Presidency
of the United States he made a deep, lasting
and. on the whole. highly beneffcent impress
upon our Revolutionary and early constitutional
life.
To every task to which he was called, in
either military or civil life. in humble or eX-
alted station. Clinton gave the amplest measure
of his fervent zeal. He a strong partisan
in politics. yet he exerted much influence be-
yond party lines. and was capable of taking
broad and farseeng views of state and national
affairs He was the first 10 suggest the splen-
did scheme of a system of state canals which
his famous nephew put into execution, and he
was the first TO move for the organization of
common school system in this state. For these
things as we'll as for the more strenuous
achievements of his earlier and mid careers. he
is entitled TO the grateful remembrance of New
York and TO honored sepulture. after many
years. amid the scenes of his labors.
