Inauguration of Gen. Dix
ALBANY, Jan. I-Gov. Dix and Lieut. Gov.
Robinson were inaugurated in the Assembly
Chamber at II o'clock to-day. The Capitol was
densely crowded.
On retiring, Gov Hoffman made brief ad-
dress complmenting Gen. Dix upon his dis
tinguished civil and military services to the
State and country, and for the ability and fidel-
ity with which he discharged the many varied
trusts committed to him. The Governorship of
New York is post of great honor, labor and
responsibility. Gov Dix would bring to Office
an experience in public affairs which no other
Governor has had and will therefore more east
ly bear its burdens. The people would, he was
sure, give him cordial support in every effort
to promote the public good 4
Gen, Dix, in reply, accepted with deep sense
of the courtesy of the kind reference to his past
one who had received repeated marks Of the
confidence of his fellow citizens and always so
to it as to command their respect and |
appreciation. He was conscious of the difficult |
ties to himself as the successor to the duties of
the Office of one who met them so ably and sat |
isfactorily. He regarded the decided expression
Of popular opinion at the late State election as
a strong declaration in favor of a marked line |
Of policy which would sensibly tighten his bur- |
den. The General concluded by saying that he |
knew he should meet unaffected kindness from |
the people of Albany, and by an expression of |
cordial good wishes to Mr.. Hoffman in the |
voyage he was about to take to the eastern hem
sphere, as well as, he trusted, the more pros
porous voyage of life. |
The oath of office of Governor was then adj
to Gen. Dix by the Secretary of |
State.
