TiHeS says CT the address: Inaugural speeches
and letters accepting party nominations are
generally glittering collections or words, SO
strung together as most e1ecrually TO conceal
the spt ciiic ideas and ln;enJs OF the writer's and
speakers. Garrlelds speech at the east front of
the Capitol yesterday WAS not an exception In
kind TO this rule. IL may be regarded as good
or otherwise by partisan or other critlcs but it
is only relatively good or bad being neither the

Fair Criticisms from TeNas.
Mars, commenting on President Gariields In
augural ADDRESS, remarks that IL is something
more than clever presentation or decent plat

blessir rs OF local self government. he leans
earnestly and decidedly 10 aa extreme nation
alisilc theory or The present Union known as
the United States. Tie NetCs says his aliusion
TO the relation between the whites and eman-
cipated negroes is On the whole as statesman
like and coDsiderate as could De expected from
President representing the traditions ana
professions OF the republican party. His utter
ance On tie subject OF universal education as a
necessary adjunct OF universal suffrage are en-
phaic and worthy Of The occasion.
