Sometimes the Actors Turn the Tables

Vernon was for moment stunned;

Hon. r. Goodwin Rhett.

Hon. R. G.. Rhett, was the next
speaker. He said he was not an ora
tor; that he did not come before the
people as an orator; that he came as
plain business man, believing that
as such he could best serve the public
interest in congress- He recalled the
time when, after four years OF heroic
service in defense Of their institutions
the men Of the south returned to their
ruined homes to begin anew. He pic
tured the terrible struggle that was
necessary to prevent the nominations
of former negro slaves over their for
mer masters, and pointed out the po-
litical disadvantages under which the
people of the south labored in the
years that followed. Reconstruction
he referred to as the crime Of the
century; but he declared that the peo-

ing of men attracted by his power of
leadership. In 1870 he was elected
sheriff and filled the Office for three
years.
Then he returned to law. Success
was gained by hard, faithful work. He
had never been accused of being bril-
liant, but he was thorough, and gained
by conscientious digging the victory
that came to others by so-called gen.
ius.
In 1881 he was elected mayor of Buff
falo, as a Democrat, by a plurality
of $500. The candidates on the Repub-
lican state ticket carried the city by
1000. After the election Cleveland
said in letter to his brother that he
proposed to stand in the relation Of an
employee to the people of the city. His
one aim would be to render faithful
service to his employer.
In carrying out this resolution he
became known as the veto mayor"

1t was an honorable title. Buffalo had
long been in the grip of INSCRIPTIONS
politicians.
Grown arrogant from power and rich
from graft, they had come to regard
rule wholly to their interest as a
settled right. Mayor Cleveland dis
abused their minds. Raids on the
treasury were blocked by his veto
Officeholders were warned that their
allegiance was due the people. Claims
Of friendship and the pressure OF pow
erful influence were without effect up
on him. His sturdy fights in the inter-
est of his employer" were widely pub
lished and attracted attention through
out the state.
Governor Of New York.
So It happened that when the Dem.
ocrats in 1882 cast about for a can
didate for governor their eye natur-
ally turned toward Buffalo. Grover
Cleveland was placed at the head of
their ticket. He was elected over
Charles ]. Folger, then secretary of
the treasury. by 100000 plurality.
Cleveland's record as mayor and his
overwhelming victory in the election
made him national figure. There was
widespread curiosity as to the course
he would pursue AZ governor. He
gained new celebrity through his We
toes. He refrained from discourses
on public affairs and framed no theory

Princeton.-The funeral of Grover
Cleveland was marked by extreme
simplicity. No pomp nor splendor had
place in the ceremonies. There were
no bands to play dirges on the way to
the old Princeton cemetery, no mill
tary escort, no eulogy by the officiating
clergymen.
The half mile OF thoroughfare
through which the cortege passed
from Westland, the Cleveland home
on Bayard lane, to the cemetery was
policed by mounted troops, but they
were there for police duty and as a
measure Of precaution in protecting
the living president rather than for
display in paying tribute to de-
parted chief executive.
Four clergymen officiated at the
house and at the grave. They read
the burial service from the Presby-
terrain Book of Common Worship, but
offered no eulogy. This simple but
impressive service was conducted by
DR.. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton,
Rev. DR.. Williams R. Richards, pastor
OF the Brick Presbyterian church Of
New York; Rev. Sylvester w. Beach,
pastor OF the First Presbyterian church
of Princeton, where the Cleveland
family attended, and Rev. Maitland ".
Bartlett, former pastor Of the same
church.
There were no honorary pallbear-
ers. Those who bore Mr.. Cleveland's
body to its final resting place in the
Cleveland plot were Mayor George B.
Mcclellan, Paul Morton, Commodore
e. C. Benedict, Richard Watson Gil
der of New York; Prof. Paul Van
Dyke, Dean Andrew F. West. Prof.
John G. Hibben, Junius s. Morgan, a
nephew Of ]. Pierpont Morgan; A. d.
Russell, Prof. Howard McLenahan,
and Bayard Stockton of Princeton.
The simple Presbyterian service was
said at the grave, the casket lowered
into the ground, and one of the coun-
try's most distinguished citizens had
become but memory. A silver plate
on the casket bore the inscription:
Grover Cleveland, March IS, 1887
June "a, 1905"
President Roosevelt, Gov Fort Of
New Jersey, Gov. Hughes Of New
York, Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia,
members OF President Cleveland's cab
met, and other notable citizens at
tended the funeral. After the cere-
mony the president left Princeton at
once In his private car Signet.
Mr.. Cleveland was buried here in
the family plot in the old Princeton
cemetery, where. under little ivy
covered mound, now lies the body of
his eldest daughter, Ruth, who died
hero ut Westland in January. 1904. 1t

cemetery on Witherspoon street. less
than a quarter of mile from the uni
versity campus, and adjoins tiny chap
ell. For many generations the presi-
dents of Princeton university have
been buried In this cemetery. Here,
too, rests the body Of Lawrence Hut
ton, and not far away stands the
monument to the memory Of the bril-
liant and erratic Aaron Burr.
