ON CLEVELAND
President Speaks at Memorial Serv-

CAREER A REMARKABLE ONE
Declares Former Executive Had
Always at Heart the Best Inter-
ests of the Nation at
Large.

NEW YORK. March 1S.-President Taft,
who arrived here from Washington today,
made an address at the Cleveland memorial
exercises at Carnegie hall this afternoon.
Mr.. Taft's address was not only an eulogy
of ex-President Cleveland, but 1t incident
ally referred to many public questions which
were dealt with during Mr. Cleveland's ad-
ministration.
Grover Cleveland was completely
American in his character as Lincoln" said
President Taft. without a college educa-
ton he prepared himself for the bar. His
life was confined to western New York.
His vision of government and OF society was
not widened by foreign travel. He was a
public product Of the village and town life
of the middle states, affected by New Eng
land ancestry and the atmosphere OF
cIergymans home. His chief characters
tics were simplicity and honesty, courage
OF his convictions, with sense of public
duty that has been exceeded by no states
man within my knowledge. 1t was so
strong in him that he rarely wrote any
thing, whether in the form Of a private or
public communication, that the obligation
OF all men to observe the public interest
was not his chief theme.
His career was a most remarkable one.
| BY his administration Of the affairs of his
! city as its mayor he showed his power of
| resistance to- and Of overcoming, the In
| fluences that made for corruption and neg
| ligence in city government, both In his own
| party and IN the party of his opponents.
His reputation In this regard spread over
| his native state of New York at time
! when such an attitude as his seemed ex-
ceptional. and his standing before the com
munity became a political asset for the
democratic party that even those who had
but little sympathy with his principles
were glad to seize unon a means Of get
ting into power.
Cleveland as Party Man.
'"Mr. Cleveland was a democrat He was
a partisan; he believed in parties, all
men must who understand the machinery
essential to the success and efficiency OF
popular government. His impulses were
| all toward the merit system Of appoint
ments in the public service and against
the spoils system but he had a practical,
common-eense view OF the problems before
him He dealt with the instruments which
he had, and he not infrequently was
obliged. IN order to accomplish greater OBJ
| jects, to yield to the demands OF those who
had no ideals and who were impatient Of
| anything but the use Of government offices
as a purely political reward. Every time
that opportunity offered, however, and
there was not some greater object in i'm
mediate view, he strengthened and assisted
the movement toward the merit system
