. The Grover Cleveland memorial, the eighteenth of March, in the year one thousand nine hundred and nine, Carnegie hall, Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, College of the city of New York. Thursday evening at eight-fifteen o'clock. ed States was the inspiration of his entirecareer. [47] THE CLEVELAND MEMORIAL He was neither a demigod nor a demagogue, buta rugged, honest, broad-minded, wise American cit-izen. There was nothing sensational or theatricalabout him. He did not appeal to his countrymenin their moments of excitement or did not play upon their passions or their preju-dices, but influenced and guided them through theirsober judgment and their calm common sense. Long after those of us who are here to-night havepassed away the name of Grover Cleveland willlive and still be honored and cherished in the heartsof the American people as that of a man who couldnot think an ignoble thought or do a mean action;a man who was intensely human and intenselyAmerican, whose leadership of his countrymen wasno forced march, but who strove with all the honestyand intensity of his great soul to have them moveforward with him in human progress. I now present the Hon. Elihu Root, Senatorfrom New York. [48]. Copyright, igoq, by Harris &~ Eiving
