Within two hours after he reached

Prom the arch above the stage In I
the main auditorium a pottrilt nf Mr
Cleclnud appropriately raped looked
down upon a score or more of men
who were actively associates with him
In one or both of his administration
and upon many others who knew hln
personally nnd admired him When
President Tnft entered the entire ns
semblime rose and stood until he had
been heated
Mayor McCIcllan who presided
arose as soon as the llrst number of
the musical prosramme had been fin
ished In his remarks the Mayor
said
Virtues of Clevelandlsm
Clevelandlsm has been described as
being nothing but the expression of the
everyday nnd of the commonplace and
so It K for It I the enunciation of
right living and thinking and doing of
rugged honesty and Integrity In thought
nnd word and deed In Private life and
In public affairs of plain speaking and
plain dealing of sincerity nf purpose
antI absolute certainty of tle righteous
nes of Its cause all homely everyday
commonplace vIrtues
President Tafts address was not
alone an eulogy of exPresldeent Cleve
land lie referred often to many of
the public questions whlih were dealt
with ilurine Clevelands IWO adminis
trating In part he said
We hear much In these days of the
usurptlJii of the leglslitiMj jurisdiction
by the Icciitlo branch Ai long as
the Legislative branch has the power
of the purse the danger of Executive

Mr Cleveland for having pointed nut In
his controversy with a Itepnbllcnn Sen

When Mr Cleveland
