INAUGURAL ADDRESS:
For the Jourth tmo in the history of the
republic It's chief magistrate has baen re-.
moved by death. All hearts are wild with
grief and horror Mt the hideous crime which
has darkened our land and the memory of
tho murdered president! hg pro.
Irscted suferiGgs, his unlinchrg fortiiude,
the example and achievements of his life
aud the pathos Of his death will forever IL.
lumine the pages of our history. For the
fourth time the officer elected by the peo-
pie and ordained by the constitution TO fill n
vacancy 80 created, ia called to asaume the
executive chsir. The wisdom of our
ioretathers, in view even Of the most
dire possibilities, made sure tho government
should never DO imperiled because of the
uncertainty of human life. Men NAV die,
but the fabrics Of our free institutions re-,
mains unshsken. No higher or
more assuring proof could OK,
ist of the strength OF popular
government than the TACT that though the
CHOSEN of the people may bo stricken down.
his constitutional successor Is punctually
installed. He was without spot or stain. and
with tho exception of the horror which
muunS the bereavement of all
the noble aspirations of my lamonted
predecessor, which found expression in his
life the measures devised and suggested
during his brief administration to correct
abuses and enforce economy, 10 advance tho
and promote the general welfare
to ensure domestic tranquility and
friendly and honorable relations
with the nations OF the earth will be garnered
in tho henrts of the people and il will be my
earnest endeavor to profit by his example and
experience. Prosperity blossts our country
our financial policy is fixed by law, and /,
well grounded and generally approved: no
threatening issue annoys our foreign inter.
course, and the wiscom, integrity and thrift
Of our people may be trusted to continue.
For the present we NAV be assured of the
Of peace, tranquility and vel
fare. The gloom and anxiety which have
the country must make the re-
pose especially welcome now. No demand
for speedy legislation has been heard and no
adequate occasion is apparent for an
extra session Of congress. Tho cors
sttution defines tho functions and
powers of the executive ss clearly as those
Of either OF the other representatives of the
government and he must answer for the
faithful discharge of tho discretion

Lbs duties il imposes. Summoned TO their
