Nothing unusual characterized the
inaugural ceremonies. The process
sion was small but handsome and was
well handled and orderly. The pro-
gramme was followed IN all its details
and nothing done that was not down
on the bills.
The only remar kable feature about
the inaugural ceremonies was the total
lack of heart or enthusiasm.
Hayes Inaugural Address.
FELLOW CITIzEN5-We have Assem- bled to-
day to repeat The public ceremonial begun
by Washington, observed by oil my prede-
cessors, and now time-honored custom
which MARKS the commencement OF n new
term OF the presidential office, Called TO the
duties of this great tIust, proceed In COM
leading principles on the subjects that now
chiefly engage the public attention, and by
which IL Is my desire TO be guided In the
discharge of these duties shall not under
take to lay down trrevoo ably principles or
measures of admlnistrati on. but rather TO
speak OF the motives which should animate
us, and to suggest certain important ends TO
be attained In accordance with our institu-
lions and essential to the welfare of our
country. AT the outset: OF the discussions
which preceded the recent presidential cleo
ton, IL seemed to be fitting that | should
fully make known my sentiments In regard
to several of the Important questions which
then appeared to demand the consideration
OF the country. Following the example and
in part adopting the language Of one OF my
predecessors, wish now, when every motive
for Misrepresentation has passed away, to
repeat what was said before the election,
trusting that my country men will candidly
weigh and understand IL, and that they will
feel assured that the sentiment declared In
accepting the nomination for the presidency
will be the standard OF my conduct In the
path before me, charged, ~ l know, with
the grave and dlfficult task of carrying them
out IN the practicable administration of the
government, 30 fur as depends under the
constitution and laws, on the chief execu-
tive OF the nation.

their constitutional rights, Is now the one
subject in our public affairs which all
thoughtful and patriotic citizens regard as
OF supreme Importance. Many Of the calam.
itous effects OF the tremendous revolution
which has passed over the Southern States
still remain. The immeasurable benefits
which will surely follow sooner or later, the
hearty ana generous acceptance OF
the legitimate results Of that revolu-

the threshold OF this subject The people Of
those States are still impoverished and the
inestimable blessing of wise, honest and
peaceful local self government are not fully
