In the course OF his remarks, picturing
Cleveland as he knew him, Gen. Wood
said:
Mr.. Cleveland used words to express
IDEAS and not for the purpose OF con-
fusing them, He was not an adept In
the use of verbal massage.
''He believed In the Monroe Doctrine
Thoroughly and absolutely.
HE was never a believer in the weak,
Uncertain interna tionalism Of the mo-
nent, as he expressed in his inaugural
,1dress when he advised that America
lever depart from the traditional poll
les that made her great"
Grover Cleveland met issues as they
arose, never shrinking from them, He
realized that In a democracy there must
be a free press, honest criticism and pit
iless publicity. He realized that people
must have the facts IL they are to act
intelligently and. like Lincoln. he had
absolute confidence in the good sense
and Judgment of the people once they
understood tho issues before them. He
stood sQuarely for the Monroe doctrine.
as shown not only by his action in the
Venezuela case but as he stated in his
inaugural address"
Gen. Wood referred to Cleveland's at
titude toward labor and his efforts to
protect labor against the lnroads OF
undesirable immigration in the intro
duction OF a servile class that might
compete with American labor without
any idea of ever achieving citizenship.
> THE soundness OF Grover Cleveland y
Judgment on that subject Is seen in the
lists OF American dead from European
battlefelds.' Gen. Wood concluded.
Ex-Gov. Harmon in his address said !:
Under Lincoln's leadership the Union
was saved under Cleveland's 1t was re-
stored and born TO newness OF life.
"Mr. Cleveland at once proceeded. IN
der very difficult circumstances, to give
an example OF what our Government
was meant by Its founders to be, so far
as the Executive is able to do IL.
His Southern associates proved them
selves to he az loyal and patriotic as
those from the North, and as Jealous
for the many reforms the public needs
demanded The fears OF the people,
whether real or artfuly created, dis
appeared forever.
His Greatness Increases.
Mr. Cleveland was. all in all. one OF
the finest examples of this that our Pres
ldents have afforded. AS we pass fur
Their from his times his character stands
out more clearly. like a mountain seen
from distance after the m!sts have
away.
when the nation In the years TO come
sees public officials striving for mere
personal or partisan ends or showing
themselves narrow minded and time
serving they will look back to Mr.. Cleve-
land. as they have sometimes done al
ready. as the shadow OF a great rock in
a weary land"
Chief Magistrate McAdoo gave an in
innate picture OF Cleveland as he knew
him as a member OF his official family.
He was never anxious TO get into the
newspaper headlines. He did a days
work and an honest days work. and IL
rejoice with you to-day over what this
country is doing for humanity and what
II is going to do II IL largely because OF
my friendship and association with
Grover Cleveland" Mr.. McAdoo said.
