It was touching and dramatic that at the memorial meeting held by his constituents in New York over this friend of man a Roman Catholic priest should make the opening invocation and a Jewish rabbi deliver the closing prayer. Mr. Cox hada thorough appreciation of that great stream of humanity from other lands which foirms on our shores and swells the grand army of American citizens. and represented in this House many thousands of these naturalized citizens from many lands. He had their admiration and confidence in great degree. and among none did he stand higher than with IrishAmericans. His genial wit and humor. his quick Celtic temperament. his terse epigrammatic sayings. his eloquent diction. his intense love of freedom. all appealed powerfully to them.
